I wish Cross References could be used as "callout" text.
I would like to be able to use a sentence inside a paragraph as a callout para so if the sentence is changed inside the paragraph the callout will change. You can do this only if you use the first sentence in the paragraph as the cross reference.

[Japanese]圏点の字数制限を外せないでしょうか。
現状では同時に文字の両側にルビをふることができませんが、右側にルビ、左側に圏点、同時に付けることはできます。しかし「圏点」はその性質上「一文字」しか許容されていません。考えられる対処は３つあります。①圏点の字数制限を外す。②圏点の機能をルビの機能に置き換える。③圏点の機能を「圏点＋ルビ（スーパーセット）」にする。もちろん③が望ましいですが、ニーズは極めて限定的と思われますので、①が妥当ではないかと考えます。UIもそのままで、複数文字を入れるとそのまま本文のセンター合わせで表示する。バグのようにも見え仕様のようにも見える、昔良く使った「裏技」を可能にするということです。ご検討ください。

Center applied style in style panels
When I click on a paragraph or character with the text tool, InDesign’s style panel automatically jumps to and highlights the paragraph or character style, which is applied to the paragraph or character.
(From now on please read the word »style« as »paragraph or character style«.)But sadly the applied style is always shown as the very last item or the very first in the visible list of style panel. There are styles above and styles below this style in the whole list. (See »Standard-behaviour.png«.)
It’s easy to access the items above (respectively below): I simply can click on them.…

It would be nice to have the brush tool and pen tool act the same in indesign as it does for illsutrator.
So I wouldn't have to go between the two to make the illustration for a page or article. As of right now the pen tool and brush tool in indesign do not have the fluidity and functionality that they could. Why can't I see the line I am forming using the indesign pen tool? I think the brush tool and pen tool in indesign are far less functional than they are in photoshop even (the brush tool), but especially illustrator and its pen tool outdoing its indesign counterpart.

Watermark-option when pdf-export (interactive) from InDesign
When you export a pdf-file from InDesign (as an interactive pdf), there should be an option for watermarks.
With this option you could save time because you don’t have to use Acrobat afterwards or create a new layer in InDesign.In Acrobat this option is already available, but with more opportunities (you don't need so many). It would be enough to have the following possibilities:
- „text of your choice“
- text scale
- text opacity
- text angle (0°, 45°, 90°)4 votes -
Two requests
I need my drop shadows to stay in place as intended when I rotate my images. I have to keep adjusting the position of shadows every time. Also, underlines are deleted when converting text to outlines. This is a major issue. I've had many jobs having to add jobs manually when converting to outlines.

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!

add pages to cc library
my team works on multiple sales decks that use a lot of the same pages. It would be amazing to be able to pull a full page into the cc library so the team would easily be able to compile a new deck from pulling new pages out of a single library

How about a progress bar when relinking images?
I just got back an InDesign document that someone else had edited, and I needed to point it towards my own copies of the links. I spent about 3 hours trying to figure out why InDesign would seemingly crash every time I tried to update the links (it would put up the "Spinning Rainbow Pizza Wheel of Death" cursor and "Force Quit Applications" would say that the program was "not responding.") I finally figured out that it was just taking 10-15 minutes to process all the images in the folder, but not putting up any information or a progess bar.…

InDesign and other CS programs
Although I encountered a few surprises when using InDesign or could imagine new functionalities, I still think, that InDesign is more convenient to handle than Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat and CameraRaw. I just present here two commented screenshots to encourage Adobe for a more "unifying hand" bewtween these programs

Remove "Publication must be saved before continuing" workflow requirement.
The requirement to save a file before creating a package is cumbersome. Often, I am saving a package to a new location to use as a starting point for a new project, or a creating a new separate version. Saving it requires potential alterations to be saved in the original file. Even without modifying the file, updated links or fonts might saved or broken.
One can Save As first, as a workaround, but this is the cumbersome second step. Creating a package from any open file without first saving it should be possible.

Place a video from a URL with https
The window for "Place a video from a URL" will not accept a safe HTTPS link (only http). Thus when I publish it, the browser throws a warning asking if I trust the content. Extremely silly bug in this age of security issues.

Own individual font/type/characters categories
I think everybody has a large font libary. It would be great if we could make own individual tags or categories (groups) to organise the font library.
For Example:
"Project xyz" (5 types/fonts)
"Fresh" (..10 types..)
and so on - so creating own groups for type3 votes -
Allow unlimited characters in Share for Review
An issue that keeps coming up with my clients is that they would love to write more comments within the "Share for Review" feature, but because of the character limit, they have to share their comments with me in a separate email. Could Adobe implement and unlimited characters for the Share for Review?
Thank you!
