Android Chrome - publish online incompatibility.
Publish online is a great idea with a brilliant future and I love it. Hope Adobe will continue to update it although I am not so sure. Most major browsers on Safari Firefox Opera Chrome Mi on desktop or mobile Windows IOS and Android, look they r working fine. There are issues with Android Chrome which in some countries is a big issue. (browsing a published document with Android Chrome control bar next-previous buttons appear instantly and then disappear and can't bring them back, touch, zoom seem not to be working either and browsing freezes)

Automatic footnote numbering in a book
Dear Sir, dear Madam,
Please make the numbering of footnotes automatic from chapter to chapter in a book, as for the chapter's first page.
It is very tedious and risky to do it manually, which seems the only option today, even in the last release (16.0).
Thank you.

add the ability to move from the type tool to the move tool with a right click or hold down a key
switching from type tool to the move tool while your cursor is inside a text box can't be done by simply pressing the v key because it will put a v in the copy you are working with. Currently the solve is 1) push escape, then the v key-a real pain 2) click off the text box that you are working on, push the v key, go back to the text box and click on it to move it-slightly inconvenient.
So would it make sense to have a right click with the move (V) tool at the very top of…

Full screen mode while in portrait view on iPhone and other devices
It might just be my olddd iPhone 6 but portrait view always leaves navigation bar and footer bar on screen when viewing.
Now until responsive layouts become a feature (wish), then if we want to create a portrait layout publication/document for viewing on a device, full- screen doesn't happen for me and others. It would nice to be able to enable this, as in landscape view.

Hyphenation (H&J): Don’t break compound words except at hyphens
Compound words should only be divided at existing hyphens when dividing words for line breaks.
Example: “award-winner” should break only after “award-“ not as “award-win-ner”
Other: “heart-stopping” can break after “heart-“ but never “heart-stop-ping”

Keep saved video attributes when opening packaged file and relinking media
I am working on documents that are published online, with video and sound features. If a file is packaged and sent to other members of a team, upon opening the Indesign file, you are required to relink all media in the Links folder. However, some features are then lost, like the Poster frame settings for Video files (set in the Media panel).
It would also be useful to be able to have the option to have sound on or off when publishing online, without having to do this in another application.1 vote -
Saving files - please have just filename selected, not extension
This used to be how it was, I can't tell you how much time I waste selecting an insertion point to rename the file.

Import PDF comments: Acrobat 'Set Status' options; keep Acrobat file in sync.
Marking comments as resolved/unresolved in InDesign is not comprehensive enough: the full options available in Acrobat need to be available in InDesign. Also, the source PDF file needs to be updated to reflect what has been done in InDesign.
- Rather than just 'Resolve', InDesign needs to show the full 'Set Status' menu from Acrobat.
- Once the full 'Set Status' menu is in place, marking comments as 'Completed', etc., in InDesign needs to be reflected in the source commented PDF file so it is fully in sync.

Adds the option to create sidenotes on Indiesign
Adding a built-in option to create side-notes in Indiesign, such comments that come next to the text where they are numbered. In addition, there will be control over whether to insert a separator between them and the main text, as well as control of the numbering style, and the paragraph or character style applied to them. Adding or subtracting one comment will update the number and position of the other comments, and if one comment goes beyond the page boundaries - move its content to the next page.
Also, the designer should be given the choice of three options -…83 votes -
Allow for selecting a set of Links for relinking, not just parent link or individual link
Looking to perform "Select Multiple Link Replacement”
Right now I can Re Link Parent Link (of ALL Instances) and change 1000 instances of an image.
Right Now I can Relink ONE individual “Child” instance or ONE image at a time.
But I cannot SELECT and RELINK Multiple Selected Links (example: 10 out of the 1000) SELECT instances of an image.
The only way to presently do this is to highlight the 10 instances and then Relink them one by one where a dialogue box opens and requires me to repeat the link process and click OK all 10 times.…

Row Height and Column Width definitions in Cell Styles
It would be really helpful if you could control the width and height of cells through Cell Styles, a bit like you can with Object Styles.

Conditional Text Shortcut
There are lots of Conditional Text requests, but simply the ability to assign keyboard shortcuts to text conditions would be a huge time saver!

InDesign forgets the maximized state of the window
Windows 10 here.
When working in inDesign, I'm maximizing the window. However, when closing InDesign and opening again, the window isn't maximized. I have to maximize again. Maximizing every time I start InDesign has became annoying.
It's a simple programmer task to keep the last state of the window when opening the application again...10 votes -
Allow Para and Char styles to be imported from libraries together
When we create a set of styles, there are both para and char styles. If I select both at the same time, I don't get the option to import them. It would be nice if we could have a single step of importing all styles in a group at the same time so users don't have to make sure they're selecting just one or the other. It trips people up all the time when they accidentally have one of the character styles selected with all the para styles.

Combine single page PDF into a spread from Books
When using Books and exporting to a PDF, if you have single pages, they just show as a single page. Maybe have an option to combine single pages into a spread.

Option to lock downloading videos from online published documents
When you use the option PublishOnline, it is possible for other users to download videos from your online published document by rightclicking on the three dots an choose 'save video'. But that's not the way designers van to have their work exposed for downloading.
I think it'll be a good idea to have the option to lock downloading videos from your online published documents.
Can you help me solving this issue, pleas?
