Convert image file types in InDesign instead of Photoshop
Rather than opening an image link in photoshop to make changes (such as converting from .TIFF to JPEG, RGB to CMYK, etc), allow InDesign to convert the images either within the program or as a package/export option.

Split Layout view also horizontal
Split view is great. Allowing you to refer to page numbers, whilst checking the contents in the other view for example. But its only in portrait (left and right)
A landscape (top and bottom) view would also be great and most appreciated

Customizing Numbering Style Format
Sometimes there is a need to use non-standard (for InDesign) formatting of lists (there is a need to use the alphabet of the Cyrillic alphabet or the Greek alphabet or something else). It would be nice to be able to do this.

Master Page Specify Following Pages
When setting up a long document, there are often opening spreads and then different pages that follow, based on specific master pages. It would be useful to be able to define the master pages so that whenever Master Page A falls, B will follow, defined automatically. Much like paragraph style sheets, where one style always follows the others, you could set it up so that when you define a page with A, then B, C, etc. will be automatically set up.

Preferences/Units & Increments/Cursor Key Distance
Please make this feature faster to change. It is the first preference in Illustrator and I love that. Can you make it the first preference in InDesign? I change this number a lot. Right now I have to hit command k, hit the down arrow five times, tab six times, change the number and hit enter. It wasn't always this hard. It doesn't have to be this hard now. Please fix to make it easier.

X + Y Location
We have the X and Y fields to get exact locations of objects. It would be nice to have a button that would copy BOTH the X and Y location, and then allow you to paste that location with an object selected.
This would be useful if you have several pages where a different logo (or copy) on each page needs to be in the same location. You could grab the X/Y location of the logo on the first page, then go to other pages and paste that X/Y location to make sure each logo on each page is in the exact same position.

ADA issue: Customize the font size used for menu/palette independent of monitor resolution
We need to be able to increase the font size used for menu/palette. Preferably independent of monitor resolution.
This is an ADA issue for those of us with aging eyes.6 votes -
Publish Online should include a print option + spreads with Two-Up Continuous (Cover Page)
Published Online files should include a print option that sizes a page to a printable option. Currently if I upload our publication (a coupon book) to Publish Online and we try to print the page shown on the screen it crops most of the page regardless of the browser used. You can shrink your window and sort of get the desired result, but we don't think most of our readers will know how to do this. Also it would be nice to be able to select a page range of what to print. I know you can include a pdf to download, but pdfs are not secure and can be manipulated by someone with a little knowledge of pdf editing. We don't want the public to be able to change what we publish, potentially causing fraud with our advertisers.
Inclusion of a Publish Online option like what pdf export has of spreads with Two-Up Continuous (Cover Page) would be a nice feature too.
Publish online is nice, but I think it has some ways to go still. We may resort to paying for 3rd party services like Issuu, flowpaper, or similar companies to get the result we are wanting.

Data Merge > Create Tagged PDF checkbox
On Data Marge > Export to PDF just let us select the "Create Tagged PDF".
For example, I have 1300 records, an 8 page document template and have to export 1300x 8pp uniquely named PDF files - files names from data.
Currently have to:
1. run the merge in groups of 100 records otherwise InDesign will hang
2. create tagged PDFs from the 13x 800pp InDesign files (50 minutes per 100)
3. combine PDFs
4. create bookmarks from content
5. split by bookmark structurePoints 1, 2 and 3 could be combined by simply allowing "Create Tagged PDF" and save two days work as Data Merge > Export to PDF takes 20 minutes to export ALL the records without hanging.

Multiple footnote groups/storys on one story.
It would be very useful if it is possible to have 2 [or more] footnote groups on 1 story.
For example, I have a main text, then there are 2 commentary texts, that both are linked with numbers [like footnotes] to the main text; & they are separately numbered & in separate frames.
Would be amazing!!!

Fix bug that makes windows invisible/inaccessible on opening InDesign
Every time I first open InDesign, all the windows are invisible/inaccessible, or the window icons are visible but they don't open. The only solution I've found is to quit and reopen the program, sometimes multiple times. Using InDesign on Mac with High Sierra. Application Frame is off.

Backup the user-defined Document Presets in a different file than Preferences
At the moment, if a user creates several "New Document" Presets in the "New Document" window, they will be deleted if the User has to reset their InDesign preferences.
It would make more sense if the hard work that is put into creating New Document Presets was saved in a different system file (or clouded) so that
1-they don't get lost if resetting InDesign Preferences and
2-the Presets could be shared with other team members easily6 votes
