Color Property and Text Alignment Option for Text Form Field
Under Buttons and Forms, if selecting a Text Field for an object or area, we are given the following text properties: Font, Font Appearance (Bold, Regular, etc), and Font Size.
I am requesting that the following properties are added to the Text Field options: Text Color, Text Alignment.
Text Color - Allows user to choose color of text that will show up in the interactive Text Field after being exported to PDF.
Text Alignment - Allows user to place the text alignment within the field prior to exporting.
By adding these two elements, the user doesn't have to then export…

Add preflight flags for specific paragraph and character styles
The preflight panel is quite powerful and useful. I think it could be improved by adding the ability to flag specific font styles. For example, when working on a document, I use a character style to add highlight to text in need of revision. If the preflight panel could flag the text with that style applied, it would be easier to locate the items needing revision.

Automatically convert table cells to fillable forms for PDF
Currently, as far as I know, adding fillable forms to a table requires drawing a text frame above each form. This is time consuming. It should be possible to create text fields from existing cells.

Set asset path base location in preferences
Allow the user to set the base relative path location in preferences instead of having them set to absolute all the time. This will allow complete folder structures within Create Cloud Folders to be shared to other user without all the assets link breaking all the time and will avoid the need to send packaged files all the time.

Adjust colours directly in the gradient panel
In InDesign, I'd like the option to edit colours from directly in the gradient panel, as in Illustrator (double click to access colour slider)
Having this feature added would greatly improve workflow - at the moment, I have to add colours to a swatch panel then drag them onto my gradient slider which becomes a very tedious process when making micro-adjustments.

Improve hanging punctuation settings
Hanging punctuation can improve the typesetting. But sometimes it creates undesired effects. For instance hanging bullets look terrible. On the contrary, some characters are missing (see https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/37832143-add-hanging-punctuation-for-chevrons)
Please add the option to modify the list of hanging characters and let users define their own value of this effect.
Affinity Publisher is a good example (see attached screenshot): users can define hanging punctuation value in % for any glyph, even for letters, this is very useful for headlines.
And please make the setting part of the Paragraph Style as recommended here: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/37880509-remove-story-panel-make-optical-alignment-a-parag – the Story panel does not make sense.

Can we get text to go along with the video tutorials?
Videos can be useful, but we can read text MUCH faster than listening to a video. And we can easily refer to text where we can't in a video.
Please just supply the same learning in text form as well.

Auto save every change to Creative Cloud and Dropbox
There really needs to be an auto save like you find in Office 365 & Google Docs. I know it has a background auto recovery but I don't trust that. It would make everything easier if every action was auto saved via cloud to the original file. Of course, still keep the back up recovery save feature.

Mywifiext
MyWifiext is an official online address for setting up and configuring a Netgear Wi-Fi range extender. Also, it is one of the easiest and simplest ways to setup the range extender. Furthermore, Mywifiext allows the user to update the extender’s settings, configure, and install the range extender, among other things. Therefore, the users looking for ways to accomplish the Netgear Extender setup procedure should visit the official website, i.e., “Mywifiext.”

Allow upload of alternative PDF for download
An essential option really, to allow a flat non-animated version of the online publication that's being viewed.
As we all know any level of animation or pop-ups elements will end up on the downloadable PDF version making it almost useless.
Unless anyone knows a workaround?

Copy CMYK, RGB values in Color Picker as text
I would like to be able to copy RGB or CMYK values as text so I can paste them elsewhere. This would be helpful in my daily work where I make color palettes and then describe them with text in a brand guide.
