Automated Language detection
Please consider a automatic intelligence, which could automatically detect the languages used in a document.
In nearly all texts I’m typesetting for journals and specialized books, there are parts of foreign languages inside the text (quotes, citations, ...). It would be genious, if InDesign could automatically search, find, and mark those bits of foreign languages, and change the language mode for those bits, so that the correct hyphenation will be applied.
In combination with the ability to unlimit the number of character styles, that can be applied to character or text, that would be a very powerful feature.

Watermarking
Add an option to export as a watermarked copy and allow a text box to add the watermark desired and allow an intensity box. Also, give the option to supply a password to anyone you would like to remove the watermark once the file is received.

table of content popup
the table of content popup UI needs updating. When working on long docs with many paragraph styles, and many levels of TOC. There's a lot of scrolling involved.
Let us resize the window so we can see more paragraph styles / TOC levels at once.
Or even just copy word's interface, although not great, but it a lot more useable.

affichage
Bonjour,
mon équipe et moi même rencontrons souvent ce genre de problème d'affichage lorsque nous passons d'un mode à l'autre (touche W)... peu importe le document qu'il soit long ou non, complexe ou non...
est ce normal ?

Allow option to specify pages to spell check!
Give us an option to specify what pages to spell check, or spell check entire document.
Sometimes when you have a long document and you've only made revisions to one page, you don't want to have to spell check the entire document all over again. Think annual reports!

Add grep Location option for "end of line"
Hi,
it's possible add the option for grep location, similar to the "end of paragraph" option, but for the "end of the line"? I think it's very helpful for advanced formatting long text.Thank you

Complete integration of InDesign Form and Acrobat Form
Scenario: The client needs content changes after approving design/form process -- that means I scrap all of my acrobat calculations in the form fields to make the changes in InDesign.
It would be great(!) if InDesign supported either a "round-trip" editing process or has all of the features of Acrobat forms. I really don't care to edit in Acrobat, because InDesign is far superior for layout of complicated forms, with more editing tools, master pages, layers, etc.
As a side note, I think a really great feature would include a "form cell" style, for both character and paragraph. It is…

Tab key to navigate through text fields only
In dialog boxes, pressing the tab key should only navigate between text fields. It used to do this. Now it navigates through every field, button and popup menu. There is a system keyboard setting that regulates this. InDesign now ignores this setting.
For example, in the New Document box, press the tab key repeatedly and it goes:
Facing Pages > Start Page # > Primary Text Frame > Page Size > Width ...and so on.
It should only go:
Start Page # > Width ...all those other buttons etc should be skipped.

zoom in/zoom out functionality on the Add Bullets dialogue box
Please, PLEASE can the next version of InDesign offer zoom in/zoom out functionality (the same as you see bottom-right of the Glyphs panel) to the Add Bullets dialogue box.
Currently, the scrolling area where you can select a bullet character is so small, less than 4% of the screen on my monitor, with no way to zoom in. (see attached screenshot)
Paragraph Style Options > Bullets and Numbering > Bullet Character Section > Add...

Placing Cloud Documets
Placing Cloud Documents in InDesign would vastly improve and simplify the workflow of a project started in apps such as Photoshop, Fresco, or Illustrator on iPad Pro. This would allow editing the files placed in the InDesign file without the need to export the Cloud Documents to a compatible often uneditable file format.

How to release an IP address on a Mac?
To release and renew your IP address in Mac OS X, you’ll use the Network system preferences to renew the DHCP Lease.
- Click the Apple button and choose System Preferences.
- Choose the Network icon.
- Select your method of connecting to the internet. In most cases it will either be Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
- Click Advanced.
- If you selected Ethernet, you should already be in the TCP/IP tab heading. If you aren’t, or if you selected Wi-Fi, click the TCP/IP tab heading.
- Click Renew DHCP Lease.

Give paragraph styles a setting to load find/replace saved queries.
In paragraph styles, give us a space to autorun a find/replace 'saved query' with the style. I know we have GREP styles, but there are a swath of styles that i have to run every time on my magazine that would be awesome to just already have been done.
That or give us a query group list that I can run the whole list with one click. Having to run each, one at a time, is a nuisance.

Make style exclusive (Do not allow override)
If we make a style exclusive then user must create character style for each instance of style override. This may take more time at early stage, but this will prevent style override & build a document on stringent Style Definition.

Add "Uncheck all" to Strokes and Fills window
When formatting complex tables, it is time consuming to uncheck strokes one by one. Why not have an "Uncheck All" feature

Interactive features retained when PDFs placed in InDesign
When PDFs are placed into an INDD layout, and then the layout is exported to a new PDF, all of the interactive features in the 1st (or source) PDF are removed:
-- Hyperlinks in the source PDF
-- Buttons in the source PDF
-- Accessibility tags and functions in the source PDFIt's as if the PDF is treated like a dead graphic. All of the interactive features built into it are lost and must be recreated manually in Acrobat.
Two excellent examples of how disastrous this is for designers:
1) When a magazine places a PDF of an advertiser's…

Option to rotate all the contents of the multiple pages
Imagine, you are doing a big document in vertical orientation and its a lot of pages and then client ask that he wants to have it in horizontal instead. Without this function the process will take so much time it is painful to imagine!
The option is fairly simple and already there is a rotation page view exist just one step forward and it can be improved!Thank you for your attention.
