1. vertical scrolling

   I would like to be able to view my InDesign document as single-page scrolling instead of as a spread. When on my laptop, I can't easily see the text on the pages if I'm in a spread, and I'm often making changes with an open PDF next to me, so if I could scroll them together, it would be so helpful. I can't believe at this point in InDesign's evolution that this isn't an option. (I want to keep the spread view as well but would like the option to view single-page.) Thanks!

3. Being able to change Topic Levels in indices after they have been added to the index

   After a topic has been added to the index, it’s no longer possible to e.g. move the current topic to Topic Level 2 and add a new Topic Level 1. Would be amazing if it was.

6. Give us the option to ignore certain instances of spelling & grammar errors, just like Adobe Illustrator.

   Just like Adobe Illustrator, please add optional checkboxes to either include/exclude things like "repeated words" or "uncapitalized start of sentence" instances. Also... Illustrator has a section of the dialog box where you can optionally ignore (1) uppercase words, (2) roman numerals, and (3) words with numbers. This would be a great feature to implement within InDesign as well, especially since InDesign is the go-to program for layouts.

7. Improve handling of long footnotes

   Handling of long footnotes could be improved in at least three ways:

   1. Sometimes a footnote absolutely cannot start on the same page as its reference either because the given footnote follows so closely behind a very long footnote (or a dense cluster of shorter footnotes). Presently, InDesign simply stops setting text at that point, as it would when a hits a word it cannot fit into any subsequent frame in the story. Ideally such footnotes would be not only be permitted but be custom-labelable—e.g. “(from p. 17)”—but for now simply permitting such footnotes, elegantly or not, would be a far less disruptive behavior.
   2. Presently very long footnotes will occupy all but one line of subsequent frames for as many frames as they require, and this often has the effect of making the one line of main text appear to be a heading for the footnote. It would be nice to be able to customize the amount of a text frame allocated to footnotes. This value could be set either as a minimum number of lines or a minimum percentage of the frame height reserved for the main text. (Fallback request: If customization isn’t easy to implement, changing the fixed minimum to 3 lines would be a huge improvement over 1 line.)
   3. Historically, long footnotes that continue onto a subsequent page have often been specifically labeled—e.g., “vii (cont’d)”—but InDesign does not presently support such labeling. It would be beneficial if there were an option to apply custom text applied to continued footnotes.

8. Start supporting "Working off Network Drives/shares"

   Users are expected to download files to their local HDD and then work the project locally before committing it to a server/file share. this is ridiculous to ask. some of these files are huge and would consume the HDD space on the MAC/PC, let alone the network traffic and congestion they would create saving back and forth. Adobe needs to fix this issue so that users can work on a file and save to network share for other designers to work. InDesign and all products from adobe have this behavior. locking for sometimes days before someone is able to open and work on the file. it does not matter the size of the file or the Adobe file type that it is saved in. permissions based errors like this need to be worked on to allow better flow for end users trying to get projects finished quicker.

13. Interactive features retained when PDFs placed in InDesign

    When PDFs are placed into an INDD layout, and then the layout is exported to a new PDF, all of the interactive features in the 1st (or source) PDF are removed:

    -- Hyperlinks in the source PDF
    -- Buttons in the source PDF
    -- Accessibility tags and functions in the source PDF

    It's as if the PDF is treated like a dead graphic. All of the interactive features built into it are lost and must be recreated manually in Acrobat.

    Two excellent examples of how disastrous this is for designers:

    1) When a magazine places a PDF of an advertiser's ad, the hyperlinks to the advertiser's website are lost and must be recreated manually in the final PDF. For a magazine with dozens or hundreds of ads, this is a helluva lotta labor to correct the URLs.

    2) When making accessible PDFs, a designer might place a PDF of the president's letter into the layout. The source PDF's text is accessible and tagged, but once the final PDF is exported, that's lost and the president's letter is a dead graphic. That type of item can't have Alt-text on it (Alt-text usually is limited to 200 characters). The real solution is for the letter to remain as live, tagged text in the final PDF.

    SERIOUS shortcoming in the InDesign-to-PDF workflow.

14. Please make pinch to zoom work on Surfacebook Windows 10.

    Pinch to zoom simply doesn't work on any adobe apps on when using a Surfacebook. It can work in Photoshop if you turn off two finger scrolling, but that's it. It's incredible annoying, and as someone coming from a Mac, it's killing my workflow. Please fix this.

15. Text wrapping around image should honor Corner Options

    See this forum thread for details: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/wrapping-text-around-a-graphics-frame-with-corner-options/m-p/11776379

    There are two issues - a feature request and what I think is actually a bug (related to the workaround for the lacking feature).

    The primary question I asked in the forum feels like a bug to me, but I'm told it should be considered a feature request. So I request that in terms of text wrap, graphics frames generated by placing an image would behave the same as graphics frames created by the frame tool. If an image is placed and then Corner Options are applied, text wrap set to Graphics Frame should respond to the corners instead of staying square.

    The bug relates to the workaround suggested on that forum thread. When a graphic (not its frame) is copied and "Paste Into" another frame, text wrap settings of the original frame should not be carried along with the graphic content, because it's not the frame that is being copied, but just the content. That seems like a definite bug to me.

17. Hyphenation (H&J): Don’t break compound words except at hyphens

    Compound words should only be divided at existing hyphens when dividing words for line breaks.

    Example: “award-winner” should break only after “award-“ not as “award-win-ner”

    Other: “heart-stopping” can break after “heart-“ but never “heart-stop-ping”
