Convert hidden hyperlink destinations to endnotes?
I want to create, from an InDesign file, a list of the hyperlink destinations, and at the same time create footnote callouts in the text after each word that is formatted as a hyperlink. I want to format the normally invisible hyperlink destinations as endnotes. Possible?

Document Open Window/pane.
Document Open pane. The break up of recent, earlier and older documents is confusing. I'd prefer it to alphabetical order.

Fix dictionary translating from US to UK (and vice versa) in macOS High Sierra
Dictionary not working correctly after upgrading to macOS High Sierra. I translate many documents from US to UK spelling (and the reverse). The dictionary used to work perfectly, but since moving to High Sierra neither dictionary recognises incorrect spellings from the wrong continent. It thinks all the spellings are correct. I've checked all paragraph styles, basic paragraph styles and preferences to no avail, so deleted my preferences but this feature no longer works.

Layers Panel: Content auto-contract or stay expanded choice
I can't see that this is an option at present, but I get really fed up with constantly having to re-expand content layers and groups in the Layers Panel. They seem to auto-contract if I move from one document to another and back again. Is it not possible to have this feature as an option so that the user can select whether a documents layers remain expanded or not?

Add a counter symbol similar to the "current page number" marker.
It would be very useful to be able to insert a special character (similar to the "current page number" marker) that makes a digit counter, starting with 1 and then iterating upwards for each time it's inserted.
I know there's a workaround to sort of do this with numbered lists, but that's very limited, especially if you want the counter anywhere except the beginning of a paragraph.
I'm currently working a book that has many images with captions, that ends with the number of the image, like this: "Lorem ipsum dolor… [15]". If "15" where a simple character that counted upwards…

It would be great to have a dashboard feature within InDesign so you view all open/tabbed documents all at once in one window,
It would be great to have a dashboard feature within InDesign so you view all open/tabbed documents all at once in one window. Ideal when you are resizing a lot of web or print ads.
You could activate by hitting F5 function key.1 vote -
Make Single Line Composer the default selection, please
Every time I receive a layout from my designers, I have to highlight and change every single block of text on it from Adobe Paragraph Composer (the work of the devil) to the controllable sanity of Single Line Composer. Who in their right mind wants the computer to be reflowing text that they have already edited?

Split epub at articles in articles panel
An epub can only be splitted at specified paragraph styles. The order in which page elemetnts are exported can be specified as „Same as Articles panel“. I think it woud make sense to have also an option to split an epub at the articles in the articles panel.

Would like to add a separate gradient applied just to text, not related to textframe, just to the word (or any textcharacter)
I would like to apply a gradient to characters and words only, not related to the textframe in which they are printed.
If I have one or a few words in a gradient designed, and due to a textedit the word flows to the other (or a previous) line, the gradient appears different than how I designed it.
At this time it is either only related to the textframe, or I'd have to convert the text to outlines.
Or, as a workaround I can take the word out, place it in a separate textframe, apply the gradient, and place it…

horizontal scale
I would like to have the option to set the positioning up from the zero 0,0 as "+". It should be like in mathematic scheme. Moving objects left=the position gets to "-"....moving objects right=the position gets to "+".......moving objects up=the position gets to "+"... moving objects down=the position gets to "-"
dont know why it is like that now

Bad visualization
Hi. Many times I delete a text and the visualization is not good. I do not know if this is the place to comment on it.

Allow to enter individual object size when multiple objects are selected
When multiple objects are selected InDesign shows the total width and height of the whole selection. I'd want to be able to enter the width and height of each individual box.

Major problem with image links
When I click on an image, the link in the links-window does not show. Note: there's nothing embedded. I'm encountering this all the time and it's very very time-consuming. How can this major problem exist in a software where placing images is really what you do with it all day layouting?
I really wonder what we pay the monthly fees for when even the most basic stuff is far from working properly.
Why is Indesign CC detoriating compared to CS6, though we pay more money?
What are the Updates and the cloud really for?Why this is valuable to us…

functionality not working any longer.
Hi. In older versions of InDesign and Illustrator on Mac I was able to minimise the application by double clicking the title bar. In the latest version of CC this does not work any longer - Acrobat and Photoshop have no problem. High Sierra 10.13.4. All Adobe apps completely updated.
