Rounded corner table cells
We had some Adobe people here to showcase new features in Creative Cloud. One gentleman was named Jamie Ragen. I asked them if they have any intention to create a feature for rounded corners for table cells. The reason I find this important is that some clients have rounded corner objects as part of their style, and it would be good to match that with their tables. This would create a consistent look. Jamie was kind enough to suggest I bring this up in this forum. I hope this generates some action from Adobe.

Object Style Duplication
I'm one of those people who use style sheets to the Nth degree, including Object Styles. Is it possible to duplicate Object Style groups the way that Paragraph and Character Styles are duplicated when making new alternate layouts? It would be so much easier to go into the newly minted Object Styles, update the look of one object, redefine the style in the palette, and then have that update all the other newly created objects.

Convert missing and and no longer existing hyperlink in to embedded image
When editing an existing file made by someone else who no longer has access to the links used in the file, I want to be able to pin the images to the file so that I can save the pdf without image resolution changes.
I tried embedding the images in the file but this option is not clickable for the missing links.1 vote -
Option to switch off nav bar
Can adobe give us the option, when publishing online, to switch off the Publish Online interface Nav Bar, so that when I embed using iFrame into Wordpress websites, I can pick up on the existing scheme without this bar interrupting the visual integrity

Password Protection for Online Publishing
It would be incredibly helpful if, when publishing a pdf online - for both personal or professional use - there was an option to add a password protection to the link, so that if a link to an important document were to be shared, only those intended recipients - those with access to the password - would be able to access and view it.

Standardize action of Ctrl-F (should be Find/New Find, not toggle Find window)
In ID, Ctrl-F (Cmd-F) toggles the Find/Change window open and closed.
Only the first instance behaves in a globally correct manner, by opening the F/C window if it is closed, and placing the cursor in the "Find" field.
Every other application of the last several decades then uses Ctrl-F to start the next new search, by placing the cursor in the Find field.
ID instead toggles the F/C window shut, and any user conditioned (by, again, every other app in use) to start typing a new search term finds themselves typing into the document instead.
While the Find/Change feature has…

Trademark, registered trademark, n-dash, and m-dash shortcuts
Bring back the keyboard shortcuts for trademark, registered trademark, copyright, n-dash, and m-dash. They are so buried now. We used these hourly. I know you can find them in the glyphs panel. But it worked fine before. I could just keep typing without opening a new panel.

Rename "Parent Pages" to "Master Pages" again.
For workflow reasons only, please: Bring us the OPTION to use the word: "Master Page" again. We support inclusiveness, but this is too much!
This initial idea only had 4 votes and you changed it.8 votes -
Instead of allowing objects to leave the pasteboard, just move them to the edge of the pasteboard
I often place and then resize images in InDesign. Very often when I go to resize an image, I get the error "This would cause one or more objects to leave the pasteboard" and I can't actually resize all the way down to a manageable size—I have to move the entire image somewhere random and try to resize, or just resize in increments, move the image, and resize again.
I understand that I don't want objects to leave the pasteboard. But if an object is about to leave the pasteboard, why can't it just move to the edge of the…

View menu > Fit Page Width to Screen
Add a command under the View menu—Fit Page Width to screen.
When I'm editing and formatting type, I like to make the type as large as possible, but still fit the page width to the screen, so I don't have to scroll.

Arrange Saved blank document presets
It would be great if we could arrange the Saved blank document presets.
I have created presets for our most common product in different sizes. But the sizes are all mixed up: additional sizes are always added last, instead of in incremental order which would be more logic.
If I could arrange them manually that would be a great help.

Maintain the Layers Panel scroll position when switching between documents.
Maintain the Layers Panel scroll position when switching between documents.
At the moment when you switch between documents the scroll position of the Layers Panel 'resets' to showing the top most item in the layers list.
On documents with many layers (where the scroll bar is present) every time you switch documents you have to scroll down to find the active layer. Very unproductive.1 vote -
Option to retain and set the object rotation angle with reference point within an object style for objects as well as anchored objects.
I use rotated objects in about 100% of all documents I create and I develop most to all of the document templates for all of our users which result in 4000+ documents every year. All the templates are heavily style based in all aspects and properties that can be set manually but are not covered by styles lead to confusion and lack of adoption by users. Scripting all the things that are not covered by native functionality in styles is one thing but leads to other problems. so please at least consider this as an easy target for improvement.

Incorporate the feature for hyperlinks and buttons to open the clicked url in a new browser window.
Please can you incorporate the feature for hyperlinks and buttons to have the option to open the clicked url in a new browser window. I feel this is something that would be farely easy for a developer to introduce as a feature, that would greatly benefit alot of Designers that use Adobe InDesign to publish interactive pdfs online.

Not display footnotes in continued table header
We sometimes have footnotes in table headers. If the table splits on multiple pages with continuous table headers, the footnote-number repeats in every header. I would like there to be some checkbox or other way to disable footnote number repeating in the continued table headers.
Right now I just fake it with a background colored little box over the redundant footnote but it's just not that good a solution since I have to anchor it somewhere in the table cells to stay at it's place in case of changing pages.1 vote -
PDF Comments: Apply comments, of type Strikethrough text, that has a text comment attached, with same behaviour as comments of type Replace
When making comments in Acrobat Reader, clients often use the Strikethrough-type and add a text comment, when they really should have used the Replace-type comment.
Strikethrough-comments with text, could be applied with the same behavior as Replace-comments.

Book Styles
The book system needs a major overhaul. I should be able to update a style in one document and have it apply across the whole book immediately and quickly.
Right now, I have to through the painful synchronization process. Often that key source document that defines styles is not the best place to make edits to styles that only appear in another part of the book.
Also, if I rename a style, it doesn't propagate that style name change to through book, but rather adds a new style everywhere, making it a huge mess.
I waste so much time with…
