1. Add a "Clear All Alerts" button option to Background Tasks utility

   Sometimes I need to export files at a different setting to my ICC profiles setting and I have to clear the alerts after I have exported. It's very frustrating when I am exporting multiple times that I then have to select each individual file before deleting. Can we not have a "Clear All" option for multiple alerts, please? It would save lots of time when deleting.

2. MacBook Pro Special Characters

   When using the newer MacBook Pro series, we are able to use special characters like e-diaeresis by simply holding our 'E' button and there will pop up a menu where we can then choose to select the preferable character.

   Would love to see this! I have added an screenshot for clarification.

5. Allow for Custom location/settings of strokes on any shape.

   Like in tables or text boxes, I would like to see the Rectangle tool (or polygon, or multi-sided pen tool creation) to be able to choose which side has a Stroke (colour &, thickness, etc).

   I have a rectangle that I have cut one corner off of and want it to tuck into the corner of another rectangle. so I don't need the strokes to display for the bottom or side, but do for the top/ 45deg angle (right). Seems simple enough, but gets more when there are many sides to the shape... what's the limit you offer customization too? and what happens to the additional sides...?

6. iXBRL tagging - annual reports - ESEF reporting

   New regulations in Europe means that from 2020 all financial reports must be produced with XBRL tagging. InDesign is the single most used layout software for producing annual reports, but will be useless for the purpose without a solution for tagging.

   Are you working on a solution to this considerable challenge?

7. Integration for Bengali (Bangladesh) Hunspell spellchecker

   For years I've been using my own Bengali (Bangladesh) hunspell spellchecking dictionary in InDesign, and I wish it was just integrated into the software. I'm the author of it and I'd be happy to provide it to InDesign. But alongside this it would be nice if the process of adding new hunspell dictionaries was easier, if it didn't need to be redone after every update; and currently it doesn't even work.

8. External (Global) Styles — (Paragraph, Character, Table, etc) to sync and apply to multiple documents

   It is constantly frustrating that every year Adobe fails to update InDesign with external Style functionality.

   It should be easy to define a set of Paragraph Styles and apply that as "Global Style" which can then be used
   across multiple InDesign files. Updating a "Global Style" would then apply those Style changes to all affected documents.

   This should apply to all things that can have styles applied, Table, Object, Paragraph, Character, etc. Any of these different styles should be able to be saved to an External Global Style — that can be then saved externally locally — or saved to the Cloud and applied that way.

   Currently this is not really possible and it's deeply annoying. I should be able to easily create a style that can be applied to any document I wish, and have any adjustments I make to that style automatically apply to all documents using it.

   Obviously there could be a simple dialog box that prompts when opening a document using a global Style that has been updated. The user is then given a choice to update the document so that it is in-sync with the style updates, or create a new style from the previous state, or keep all the current settings and not update the documentand keep the older style settings without overriding them with the new updates from the external Style.

   COME ON ADOBE. IT IS 2020.
   GLOBAL STYLES. Without them updating documents in the same sort of style language is a massive pain, because any evolutions or changes to a style in one document immediately makes all other documents out of sync — this is a very common use-case problem deisgner run into, and the fix to it is very strightforward.

11. Link comments to text as well as to physical location in graphics frame

    This could be viewed as a bug report, from the user's perspective. And I am a user and not a coder or designer for ID (though I am a UX dweeb.) However, from a coder/designer standpoint, this is a feature request, thus posting here rather than as a bug.

    The feature is to link comments not to an x,y location on a spread, but to (1) an x,y location within a graphics frame, or (2) for a text frame, to specific text in that frame. Linking to text can be by highlighting the text and then attaching a comment to it. (Deleted text that was highlighted could leave the comment at the place where it was deleted; attaching the deleted text to the comment automatically would be great but hard to code.)

    The reason for this is that if you add text or move graphics frames around and then, in the Share for Review Panel, click Update Link, your pins or lines don't point to the original material anymore, and all of those comments on that first version don't make sense any more.

    As Alan Cooper pointed out in his About Face 1.0, it is important to conform the user interaction design to the user's mental model. My mental model when I started using Share for Review was that I could edit the document, click Update Link and the existing comments' pins or lines would still connect to the text and graphics, not to an x,y position on the original spread. Maybe for a graphics-intensive single-page ad this would make sense, but not for a magazine article or book chapter, which, after all, is mostly what InDesign is about.

    I would suggest an immediate fix to this mental model/implementation model conflict by changing the Update Link button so it archives the original document on the server, with the comments still linking to the (right) original text and graphics, presenting the user with a URL for that, and then putting the new document up at the original URL without any of the original comments, but with a link to the original document/comments.

    This would allow time to develop the code to link better to text and graphics within their frames.

    It would require a bit of help in the interface for users to develop a mental model of how this works, but would be worth it.

    Thank you for listening (reading).

14. More options for importing text styles

    Please add extra options (in the screenshot), the two I would mostly love is only keep bold and italic styles.

    Have a lot of text every day to import from word, with lots of bold and italic noted words.

    I think a lot of people would love this feature!

15. Paragraph Style Groups and... Paragraph Style versioning

    It would be nice to create named subversions of the same style instead of just marking the changed paragraph styles with a + sign.

    Then such subversions of one style will be saved with an additional qualifying name, and they can be quickly assigned in the right place in the text, instead of manually marking up the text.

    This is somewhat similar to the existing style group, but with slightly different functionality.

    Let's say we need to build a table of contents. In this case, each heading has its own level of hierarchy, but several different paragraph styles cannot be placed at the same level of the hierarchy. If we could use the common thin style group name instead of a specific paragraph style name, a lot of nasty things would be solved.

    Another example concerns text variables for paragraph styles when creeping headings are applied. Several sections of the same publication may have different hierarchical structures, and different paragraph styles may fall on the same hierarchy level.

    Therefore, the introduction of versions of a single paragraph style would allow not to complicate the structure of the document too much by using many master spreads and manual control over them.

16. Please reinstate this feature: Cmd-H to hide program with no open documents

    In InDesign, you can’t hide the program with Cmd-H when no documents are open any more.
    It’s a feature I use a lot, and has suddenly stopped working. As far as I know it has been there since the beginning.
    Why on earth someone thought it was a good idea to remove this is beyond me.

17. Multi Level Running Headers with Numbering

    Add the ability to have multiple running headers. Specifically for multi-level lists that include numbering. Currently you can only select one paragraph style and it doesn't include numbering. It would be great to be able to create breadcrumbs for multi-level lists so you can show which section and subsection you're in INCLUDING NUMBERING. Currently the running header drops the numbering which is annoying.

18. Include Spread Rotation in PDF Export and Publish Online

    When exporting/publishing as spreads, allow us to "include spread rotation" and display those properly in the online viewer and PDF export.

    I have a calendar layout with most of the spreads rotated for proper viewing. I've always exported as spreads and rotated manually in Acrobat for the client but I can't do that when publishing online.

    A simple version of this would apply only when exporting spreads ie: where the result of 2 8x10 pages is a single 16x20 page which is then rotated per the ID view settings.

    A truly complete solution would need Acrobat/Reader the ability to show actual 2 page spreads vertically, where the result matches my spread layout and rotation in InDesign automatically. This could apply to multipage spreads as well, like a fold-out spread in a magazine, all while still respecting the individual pages in the PDF.

    Further advancement could include folding information in the ID layout. That could allow for the export of interactive folding mockups as well as flat layouts for print directly from the same document without additional setup. Imagine a pocket folder layout that automatically exports both the proper looking 9x12 interactive comp for client viewing as well as the 18x16 flat layout for printing without any additional work. WOW that would be pretty cool, right?
