Ability to name pages and export individual pages as separate indesign files.
How is it that illustrator is a better tool for creating mechanicals in 2022?

When placing a pdf with drag and drop...
When placing a pdf with drag and drop, rather than simply refusing to do it if the pdf being placed doesn't have a trim/crop/whatever box the same as the previously placed pdf; it would be far more polite to pop up the place options.

Apply Table Style and Cell Style on Word Import
The ability to apply table and cell styles to imported Word documents – and for them to be properly formatted and mapped to those styles rather than just have the appearance of the styles – would be extremely helpful.

Target Tables in Find/Change
The ability to target tables, table styles, cell styles and all other table elements would be extremely helpful.

QR error correction level
It would be nice to have more control over the QR code generator. To be more specific: add the option to choose de Error Correction Level of the code.
That way we can make small codes smaller, (especially in combination with a url-shortner) or normal codes slightly bigger to have enough error correction to have a gap in the middle (for a logo).[X] Automatic

Search and replace table rows/columns
I would like to be able to search, replace/remove/add (below or under, L/R) a specifik row or column within a table.
I often work with large transaction portfolios with plenty of tables in them. It's not uncommon that clients asks to change/remove a row or column in a table with a specific header/headline/label. I just removed one row on 58 spreads which could have been solved through a search and replace (or, well, remove then). Could also be able to add a row/column through a similar solution (i.e. insert a row below the row with Lorem ipsum-headline). Cheers.

Generate QR code, new feature: add image in center
It is possible to put a small image in the center of QR codes. It the image is small enough, the QR code remains readable. It would be nice to be able to include an image with the Generate QR Code feature of Indesign. The size should be adaptable. Indesign either checks if the code still works or the user has to test this. If the image is an SVG icon (e.g. the LinkedIn logo), it should be possible to change its color.

Arrange Saved blank document presets
It would be great if we could arrange the Saved blank document presets.
I have created presets for our most common product in different sizes. But the sizes are all mixed up: additional sizes are always added last, instead of in incremental order which would be more logic.
If I could arrange them manually that would be a great help.

Hi, I need to include an iCal (or similar) file into an interactive inDesign newsletter
Hi,
I need to include an iCal (or similar) file into an interactive inDesign newsletter / interactive PDF / published interactive web link.
I have gone to extreme lengths to try to find where / how to do this.I send out a monthly newsletter (InDesign-interactive PDF-interactive web link) to update the audience on the coming monthly event. I need to add an iCal (or similar) file to enable them to enter it/download it into their own calendar.
I have tried setting up a specific Google calendar, putting the event details in the calendar, then go to ‘publish event’ which…

Import and export Find/Change queries button
I would LOVE to be able to import and export find/change queries from the find/change window, instead of having to go through cumbersome Windows folders to get the same result. A little button besides the save query/delete query would work really well and not be intrusive at all. This would be really helpful for sharing common actions that need to be standardized among various team members without each one having to recreate individual queries and saving them (or going through Windows hidden folders). Thanks!

Retain hyperlinks within imported PDF files and export PDF file from InDesign
With many publications hosted online, we receive a lot of adverts containing hyperlinks as advertisers embrace the fact that specific web pages, websites, YouTube videos, Podcasts, email, social media and more can be embedded. Unfortunately, InDesign only see PDF files as image objects; therefore, hyperlinks are lost when the artwork is exported as a new PDF.
We currently patch transparent objects over the artwork, select text, then copy and paste to apply links to ensure all are seen after the PDF has been exported from our InDesign file.
To retain imported links with PDF files would be a huge time-saver.…

More options for creating ads
I would love for there to be more flexibility for creating ads through InDesign. Like creating multiple sized art boards and simply be able to view art boards like how Photoshop, illustrator, and xd can.

Live captions with artboard names
We create a lot of print files for clients in illustrator and proof them in InDesign. It would be great if we could import live captions for the artboard names of Illustrator files to save us having to type these out every time.

It would be great if you could change the language in paragraph styles for the entire document, rather than for each style individually. Similar to the "global light" in the effects. So a checkbox "Change language in the whole document" or "Global language"!

Wish for a character format option to suppress the automatic hyphen
I often have to set URLs in literature references. The hyphen must not be displayed, because this would corrupt the link - as it could happen e.g. with codelistings.
The actual hyphenation should not change, only the hyphen should be suppressed.This option could consequently also be offered for paragraph formats; as well as for manual formatting, comparable to »No Break«.
All in all, the procedure with this new option would be much faster than working with the »Discretionary Line Break« at every corresponding separation point.Please consider this option of suppressing the hyphen.
Many thanks1 vote -
Enable more control panel and app bar customization
Please enable greater customization of the control panel (the top/bottom panel from the Essentials Classic workspace).
I realize you can customize which tools are included, however, it takes up too much space. Even if I reduce the number of tools to very few, the panel takes up two rows worth of space and all the tools are stacked (in two rows) at the far left of the panel. You also cannot arrange the order or position of the various tools.
I hate how much space the panels take up on the screen and that's part of the reason I like…

Make annoying datamerge save warning userfriendly
The warning window "You must turn off the data merge preview before you close the document..." must be changed. Its good to have straight hint what's have to be done by user, but in modern software we
need a better approach.
Like button "do it for me now and we continue" and even checkbox "always do that and never ask again" (ofc with undo somewhere in preferences or datamerge interface, see screenshots)1 vote
