keyboard shortcuts for custom PDF preset
I can't be the only one who uses the same PDF presets over and over when exporting. It would be really helpful if I could set a keyboard shortcut to those custom presets so I could export them on the fly.

Export to a Word/.doc file
Would like to be able to export a project to Word. Which typically exporting to PDF is fine, there are some clients that require us to send them Word/.doc file. I've been exporting to PDF and from there exporting to Word, but that means much of the formatting is lost.

Enlarge the size of the panels; so hard for the eyes with PAO after 40 years (Illustrator and Photoshop have this option in user/interface)
ADOBE TEAM - SVP aux concepteurs
Cela fait des années qu'à chaque màj d'inDesign j'attends qu'Adobe permette enfin (comme déjà dans Photoshop, et Illustrator) qu'Indesign autorise dans ses préférences l'AGRANDISSEMENT DES CARACTERES ET/OU DE SES PALETTES!!! Il y a des milliers de graphistes de plus de 40 ans qui se tuent les yeux avec ces palettes miniatures lorsqu'ils deviennent presbytes!!!. Quand on est graphiste, on pleure de mal à la fin de la journée. J'ai tout essayé et moi aussi pas la place de mettre un deuxième écran! j'ai essayé avec iPad Pro et Duet, mais l'affichage le plus bas…4 votes -
Create contingent or logical elements in Data Merge
Data Merge already allows omitting empty fields, but I will often have additional text or elements that are contingent on those fields. If would be great to be able to attach other elements to the merge fields logically so they are omitted if the merge field does not exist.
Also, any chance of fixing the <feff> problem? Huge thanks to David Blatner for the find/replace solution, but it would be great to have that resolved.

Chrome OS support please!
Would be awesome not to have our team on Chromebooks totally locked out from doing simple text editing on InDesign files.

Possibility to change the default language in Middle Eastern version from Hebrew into English
I have the Middle Eastern version of InDesign. I understand the default for all settings is Hebrew/Arabic. I would really like to be able to change the default language into English when I will be working on an English document, and then be able to change the default back to Hebrew when I am working on a Hebrew document. As it is, I feel like I am constantly running into Hebrew formatting while trying to make an exclusively English product. It seems all the settings have to be changed individually, and even seem to automatically jump back into Hebrew format.…

Interactive text field options that do not exist in InDesign, but do in Acrobat.
I make a ton of interactive PDFs in InDesign. Why can I not set things like character limits or centered text within InDesign so I can save the settings in the .indd file? Instead, I am forced to make these changes in Acrobat. This means that any changes to the .indd file require that I remake the PDF format changes in Acrobat. EVERY TIME!

Hidden delete option in "PDF comments"
In the newest update the trash icon disappeared from the "PDF comments" window. Could you please bring it back? Now it's located under three dots, which means I have to click more times to delete the comment. I don't want to use "accept" option because it's better for me to clear the list so I use "delete" instead of "accept". It's important when time matters and I have to make for example 60 changes from PDf comments.
Thank you

Print Booklet needs to support booklets with more than 4-up, e.g., up to 6-up
Print Booklet needs to support booklets with more than 4-up, e.g., up to 6-up.
The team I am part of produces many z-fold documents in excess of 4-up, often 5-up or 6-up. We need the functionality in Print Booklet to support that. The existing maximum 4-up just isn't enough/4 votes -
Auto anchor table cells in forms to export correctly to tag trees in PDF
Clients frequently want accessible forms made in table format. Please set the cell fields (graphic cells) to auto-anchor and correctly export to the tag tree in PDFs. Currently, the exports do not work well with assistive devices and require much remediation--sometimes more time to remediate than actually designing the file correctly. Note that all USA Federal Government publications, forms, etc., MUST meet Federal law regarding accessibility. Remediation in exported PDFs needs to be minimal. Thank you.

Indesign Thumbnails for explorer WIN10
Where is this feature? Why isn´t Adobe delivering this simple feature as other software? This would be a great feature for user expierience and I guess, it would be that hard to fix.
When I ask Adobe for this feature, they recommend me to use a third party app - I don´t want a third party app, I expect this from Adobe for a software that I am paying a lot of money!
So, please - anybody who is in charge, talk about this feature at your next meeting.

Merge index page entries
Indexing often end up looking like this:
Smith, John 37, 38, 39.
It's tedious to have to make the first entry be for the next three pages and delete the other two. Why not have a menu option to "Merge consecutive pages." It could be run near the end of the indexing process when the page breaks are unlikely to change.
Even better would be an option to for consecutive page entries to create a new entry that makes the first the start of the indexing and the last the end of it. That'd keep the range right even when…

Automatically update the preview in the index panel
Currently, when users make a change to an index entry the result page range listing is not automatically. Users have to select Update Preview from the Index panel. Why not make the index list automatically update whenever a change is made?

The little arrows up/down to change values have increments too large
Those little arrows used to change increments are a blessing, but many times the increments are just too big so they are useless because I have to input my numbers anyway. There should be a preference to change the increment value assigned to those fields (like 0.1 point or 0.1 mm) like there is one for the leading (see pictures)

export location
Please please include a tick box in the preferences that allows exporting to the same location as the indesign file you're exporting. I work in a busy studio and I'm constantly having to re-route where I'm exporting my files it's SO frustrating!

Option to search child folders when using Relink to Folder
Have a checkbox that tells indesign to also search child folders when using the "Relink to Folder" feature. To keep it from searching too far, you could also include a box to specify how many "layers" down to check.

QR-Code - Overprint Attribute for Black not available
QR-Code - make overprint attribute for Black available
At this time it is unfortunately not possible to set the attribute for overprint for a black QR code. As today QR codes are well readable on bright colors or images it definitely would be advantageous if this option would be given to avoid register problems in printing.4 votes -
Stop resetting preferences and theme after update
do NOT mess with the apps preferences and custom setup when updating. Overnight the update from 13.1 to 14.0.2 (Win 10) wreaked havoc with preferences and other customised settings.
My setup is on a workstation and MUST NOT BE MESSED WITH.

I want to delete/remove/manage Recent files from the Start panel.
I archive completed projects, but still have to wade through the empty icons in the Recent files list. It would be nice to right-click > Remove the icons. It must be a simple JDI thing! :)
