InDesign ability to handle large files with many images / better rendering
Today in InDesign with large files (e.g. 320 pages, 400 images, many images 10MB JPEGs), presentation mode becomes bogged down with rendering the images and is unusable. Furthermore, using the page view large–jumbo sized views is very slow. On my 5k iMac, I can see that the CPU, the GPU, and the RAM are all available, so there is compute power to be had. Thus the feature request is to enable InDesign to use more HW and/or to have a way to store fully rendered images in a cache.

Page numbering logic
I don't get why the logic of page numbering is that complicaded in InDesign.
imagen you would like to show the number of the current and the previous page on the same page.
You can not simply put those varibles form Markers, saying Current Page Number an Next Page Number on the same page. – That would give you twice the Current Page Number.
Current Solution: You have to write them into two conected Text fields, which are supposed to be ob bouth pages, that you want to put a number on.here my idea:
Why wouldn't you make a…1 vote -

Alphabetical order is wrong
When building an Index, the alphabetical order imposed is not correct (I'm working in Spanish). Specifically, spaces should be counted before words ("A Song" should go before "Ableton", for example), at least in Spanish, whilst now it's doung the opposite, counting "A Song" like it was "Asong" and putting it after "Ableton".
Please make the modification, or allow the user to change the order manually, or access the language "alphabetical order" if that's possible. Thanks!

Indesign 2019 not allowing access to styles menu on MacOS working remotely
When working at home, using only wifi with a booster on a national carrier and MacOS Mojave version 10.14.6, Indesign 2019 (14.0.3 and using Adobe Cloud) does not allow access to styles panel to edit or do anything with styles. When working in-office and using wifi there, I have no problem accessing the styles. At home, Indesign just does nothing forever and I have to hit ESC to go on to do other work, not getting the changes I need.

15.0.2
When pasting a group of layers from one document to another it would be great of InDesign would honor the sort order when the layers land in the receiving document. Also if the layer colors can stay the same.
I often paste between documents and it is not fun having the manual sort the layers. How about a sort selected layer by "X' as an option. Typically I number these direct mail layers in numerical order.
This is very important with direct mail clients with variable data. The printers prefer all versions for the different branch offices in a 2-page…

Smart Quotes in Footnote
Smart Quotes in Footnote
I use Indesign in a Mac mini. The automatic typographical smart quotes do not work when I type in the footnotes i.e. During normal typing in a page a straight single or double quote is automatically changed to smart quotes. But in the footnote it does not seem to do it automatically.

I can't type lower case c but can type other lower case letters.
I can't type lower case c but can type other lower case letters. For example when I type pickle I get pikle. It also switches the font.

Font list on wrong side of scree
Hi all. I have no idea what happened. I have Indesign 15.0.2 x64.
I have been working in Indesign daily and this morning, all of the sudden things seem all jacked.Mainly, which I cannot figure out, the font list for years has been on the left hand side of the screen when working with the text tool. Today it is on the right side of the tool bar. I reset to my preferred workspace, nada. I selected Essentials Classic and same.
What happened and how do I put it back? Essentials Classic should not have a different layout. InDesign…

Mapping errors of PDF comments for deletion when applied to list items (CC 2020)
PDF comments for deletion of list items get wrongly mapped to InDesign when importing to CC 2020; e.g. include the last character from previous list item if bullet point / numbering was included in selection to be deleted, or are mapped to a completely wrong part of a document.
Haven't tested with older versions of ID.

When in text tool, command-a does not select all the Text in the Box, but all boxes on the page instead
When I am in text tool (and not just switched there but have been there for a longer time) and klick into a text box, and it CLEARLY has been selected and the curser is there, pressing command-a to select all the text in this box selects ALL the boxes on this page, even though the arrow has not been selected and the curser was already visible.
This happens so often that I am nearing madness with this bug. Is there a way to get this back to being normal again?

When working over VNC, often Tools cannot be chosen
When I connect to my Mac over macOS-VNC, I can use everything as needed. Unfortunately sometimes Indesign shows the hand and lets me use only the hand to move the page, although I clicked the Arrow e.g. and it is selected. I the cannot select Text, change sizes of boxes etc. The only remedy is to reconnect via VNC, but not every time that works. I do not have this with any other program than indesign, so I am starting my journey of finding the root of this here.

InDesign Suffers Major Performance Issues When InCopy Files Are Linked To .indd File
I use InDesign a lot for production art. Mostly I layout text and images for product manuals that range between 110 - 250 pages. It runs like a champ on both my Dell XPS 8930 and iMac 2019. Both machines are robust with 32 Gb of ram. However, once I convert text and graphics to InCopy files, I see a huge drop in machine performance. Doing the slightest things like updating the ICMA / ICML file will hang or crash InDesign. Even saving the file can take 2 minutes. I've had 3 instances where the InDesign file got corrupted from…

Table rows distribution
Hi,
I ask the question.
The table inserted in a text box does not allow me to generate lines that exceed the text box to continue in the box linked on the next page. How come?
And how come a row of the table must be fully visible only on 1 page and not break on several pages?Thank you

None Master issue
I don't understand how the None Master works. If I create a document with no margin and no columns, then go to the A Master and add margin and columns, sometimes the None Master will delete the margins and columns, and sometimes it seems to adopt the margins and columns from the A Master.
I would recommend that the None Master ALWAYS delete all the columns and margins so it's a blank page. Or at least consistently return to the columns and margins of the A Master, but blank would be better.

paper swatch tint
There is strange bug at the paper swatch.
The tint of the paper swatch should not be customizable, but it can happen.Try this in the latest Indesign:
- Make a shape.
- Give it a swatch, a cmyk one which you can delete.
- Set the tint on 25%
- Than delete the swatch from the list - and let the paper swatch replace it when you delete it.
- The paper swatch takes over the 25% (though it isn't changeable after it)When you change this CMYK-swatch to the paper swatch instead of delete it, the tint jumps…
