Add feature to Buttons and Forms
In the Text Field, if there could be an option for auto scalable type, which would automatically scale while writing in a interactive PDF. This would allow the writer to write without exceeding the set text field, which could later be printed instead of hidden when printed, when the scrollable option is selected. The current options are set, scrollable or set font size. It would create a more dynamic set text field.
Also a prompt description in the text field which disappears when writing.3 votes -
Add option To Find/Change dialog box to search within notes and conditional text
I would like an option to search within notes and conditional text. In the Find/Change dialog box, there are options on what to search through: Document, Selection, Story, Include Master Pages, etc. There should also be options to search for text in hidden conditional text, as well as in Notes. Please see the attached mock-up User Interface changes for the Find/Change dialog box.

Add the ability to 'warp' live text
We do the vast majority of our designing in InDesign, so having to go to Illustrator to manipulate text is quite a disconnect to the workflow.
Unless you take the entire layout to Illustrator it is hard to get the text 'warp' accurate to your layout. It involves too much trial and error jumping between the programmes.
We know Illustrator is very capable, but so is InDesign. In fact some of the vector drawing tools in InDesign are far better designed than Illustrators equaivalents - so much so that it is often easier to create artwork entirely in InDesign.
Thanks!

Cannot paste grouped object into graphic cell - when could previously.
Adobe InDesign CC, 2017.1 Release
Version 12.1.0.56 x 64 buildI used to be able to paste a grouped object (for example, an image with a bit of text overlayed on it) into a graphic cell in a table. Currently this is not working - I can put a regular image (just a linked image) into a graphic cell, but as soon as I try to "paste into" a copied grouped object, it does not even offer paste into as an option.
This issue is present in tables used by multiple users in different files - not a bug in…

Add an option in Find/Change to "Continue from cursor position".
Presently, if you search and then "work" on what you find, and then continue your search, InDesign starts the search over from the beginning. This is frustrating.

Variable for dimensions
It would be very useful to have a text variable for dimensions of the page/trimbox/bleedbox or even for objects (along the lines of a caption).

Please, please turn off the automatic hyphenation in a document. This hyphenates all words at the end of all lines.
Please turn off automatic hyphenation. I publish in other languages in which any hyphenation must be manually inserted.
At the moment the automatic hyphenation places a hyphen at the end of nearly every line. This totally destroys the readability of the language.
I know that you can untick the box for every style in every chapter, but this adds a burden-and time- to the task.

Replace all missing glyphs
Option in the find replace dialogue to replace all missing glyphs, not just swapping one glyph for another. As far as I know, you have to go one by one throughout a document. The find/replace Opentype feature (text tab hasn't worked for me either.)

Scrollable text frame feature.
Currently you have the option in the overlays panel, but it currently doesn't work. This is valuable for many design jobs where the client has to cull text to make the content fit into a specified page size. Particularly in PDF format, so if it's possible to make it work for all export formats, not just ePub and Publish online. Clients are still using PDFs so we need to make things work for them.

When you copy/paste a frame from one INDD to another INDD, it doesn't keep the "vertical justification setting."
When you copy/paste a frame from one INDD to another INDD, it doesn't keep the "vertical justification setting."
My idea is that when you do the above action, it retains the same vertical justification setting. Unless - is there a way to turn this on already?

Add word and character spacing (justification) options to character styles
Allow the justification options within character styles.
Quite often I have different typefaces in one paragraph, which need individual values for the justification of word and/or character spacing. But I can only do the justification for a whole paragraph with exactly one font, ignoring all the other contained typefaces. This leads to word spaces, which are way too narrow or too wide in parts of a paragraph (see the top image). If I could adjust justification options in character styles as I can do in paragraph styles, the problem would be solved!

play video without controls
Please make it possible to hide the controls of a video clip - so its working in Publish online (right now its only working in PDF exports.
With this we could make amazing publish documents with integrated video backdrops of skys, fires or rain.. With all the NON VIDEO CONTROL goodness.
What im trying to say is video without controls can do magical things (like we could back in the good days of ... Flash.. the good days right... :)
