1. Allow for Custom location/settings of strokes on any shape.

   Like in tables or text boxes, I would like to see the Rectangle tool (or polygon, or multi-sided pen tool creation) to be able to choose which side has a Stroke (colour &, thickness, etc).

   I have a rectangle that I have cut one corner off of and want it to tuck into the corner of another rectangle. so I don't need the strokes to display for the bottom or side, but do for the top/ 45deg angle (right). Seems simple enough, but gets more when there are many sides to the shape... what's the limit you offer customization too? and what happens to the additional sides...?

2. Activate HTTPS and Youtube links

   I know, there are many complains about no possibility to use https links for media files, but would be great to add not only them, but Youtube links also.
   I have downloaded 15.1.2. version, and the problem still not resolved. This is very sad, that so cool option as an interactive pdf-file loses sense.

4. Interactive text field options that do not exist in InDesign, but do in Acrobat.

   I make a ton of interactive PDFs in InDesign. Why can I not set things like character limits or centered text within InDesign so I can save the settings in the .indd file? Instead, I am forced to make these changes in Acrobat. This means that any changes to the .indd file require that I remake the PDF format changes in Acrobat. EVERY TIME!

7. Link comments to text as well as to physical location in graphics frame

   This could be viewed as a bug report, from the user's perspective. And I am a user and not a coder or designer for ID (though I am a UX dweeb.) However, from a coder/designer standpoint, this is a feature request, thus posting here rather than as a bug.

   The feature is to link comments not to an x,y location on a spread, but to (1) an x,y location within a graphics frame, or (2) for a text frame, to specific text in that frame. Linking to text can be by highlighting the text and then attaching a comment to it. (Deleted text that was highlighted could leave the comment at the place where it was deleted; attaching the deleted text to the comment automatically would be great but hard to code.)

   The reason for this is that if you add text or move graphics frames around and then, in the Share for Review Panel, click Update Link, your pins or lines don't point to the original material anymore, and all of those comments on that first version don't make sense any more.

   As Alan Cooper pointed out in his About Face 1.0, it is important to conform the user interaction design to the user's mental model. My mental model when I started using Share for Review was that I could edit the document, click Update Link and the existing comments' pins or lines would still connect to the text and graphics, not to an x,y position on the original spread. Maybe for a graphics-intensive single-page ad this would make sense, but not for a magazine article or book chapter, which, after all, is mostly what InDesign is about.

   I would suggest an immediate fix to this mental model/implementation model conflict by changing the Update Link button so it archives the original document on the server, with the comments still linking to the (right) original text and graphics, presenting the user with a URL for that, and then putting the new document up at the original URL without any of the original comments, but with a link to the original document/comments.

   This would allow time to develop the code to link better to text and graphics within their frames.

   It would require a bit of help in the interface for users to develop a mental model of how this works, but would be worth it.

   Thank you for listening (reading).

9. Target cell styles in find/change

   Working with long tables would be easier if find/change could be limited by cell style.

   It would be even better if this find/change could include inserting text when there is nothing present in the cell.

    LayoutWindow: activePage... also need a displayedPage field

    The field LayoutWindow::activePage does not change when the user navigates to another page until another insertion point is selected. I would like to be able to track the page that is currently displayed.

11. Cover building tool

    It would be great if InDesign had a tool for easily building covers. Something as simple as allowing variable column widths so that you could input the width of C1, C4,spine, and the width of the joins on either side!

13. "Font Exceptions Table"

    I seem to recall that years ago, Pagemaker had a feature called "Font Exceptions Table" (or something like that, or maybe it was Ventura Publisher). It would allow you to tell PM; "Whenever a text file calls for font A, always replace it with font B." It essentially created a preference file, a table of fonts and their preferred replacement fonts. Hoping for such a feature in InDesign. Example: I produce a periodical newsletter with Optima as the font for the body text. My customer sends me Word and Excel files in which they have used an old TTF font called Optimum. Getting a little tired of doing the Find Font thing so repetitively. Would be nice if there was a way to tell ID; "Always replace Optimum with Optima (normals, bolds, italics, etc.)." Is this possible? Thanks!

14. Enable relative searches, e.g. 'point size more than 10 pts' or 'space before less than 6 pts'

    You can use the Find Text and Find Grep features to look for certain constant values, e.g 'point size 12 pts', 'tracking 75', 'space before 6 pts'.

    But it's not possible to search for relative values, e.g. 'point size less than 12pts'. And it's not possible to do negative, e.g. search for certain text in paragraphs that do not have a certain paragraph style applied.

    These features would make it much easier to find text with missing or incorrectly applied formatting, and generally would mean that the search scope can be specified more flexibly, which in turn means that InDesign's search feature would become even more powerful.

    There have been feature requests for negative values (see links below), but not for relative values. I mention the other links here to consolidate these similar requests.

    Find searches for anything that is NOT the term. eg. Find NOT 12 pt will select text that is not 12pt
    https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/39775783-find

15. Change label for "Use Document Bleed Settings" to "Use Active Document's Bleed Settings"

    When exporting a book under Export Adobe PDF > Marks and Bleeds > Bleed and Slugs, it would be helpful (for other users to avoid the frustration of learning the hard way as I just did) to know that this setting uses the active document's settings rather than each document's respective settings (Guessing this is a limitation with how PDF is constructed, otherwise is this perhaps actually a bug?), or if no document is active that it will apply all zeros.

    The latter was the problem I encountered and was not expecting, as every document in my book has the same bleed settings (as I assume is the case for most users). Because I happened to have a document open for the last hundred or so exports I became accustomed to this feature setting bleed as expected, and so this was no longer on my manual checklist and consequently didn't realize the bleeds were set to zero until receiving my print proof (as I knew this was likely my final export I started to tidy everything up including closing all my active windows).

    Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, otherwise I think there's a very simple change that could be made that might save others this potential frustration, which is to merely change the checkbox label to "Use Active Document's Bleed Settings", and ideally disable the option if no documents are active.

    Thank You.

    Edit: Perhaps a bug after all, or at least related to one?... now when I use the setting, with an open document (which has correct bleed, and whose values are entered into the four disabled value inputs), the export still has no bleed. Setting those same values manually worked. Maybe just get rid of this feature (the "use document bleed settings" checkbox)? Cheers.

17. Zip Fonts When Packaging

    It would be great if there was an option to have fonts collected in a zip file when packaging a document. Fonts are often corrupted when transferred via the cloud, or FTP, and need to be zipped to maintain their integrity. It would be time saving if InDesign could do this automatically.

19. Deprecated GPU renderer

    I found out today that indesign uses the OpenGL engine on Mac Mojave, despite the fact that Apple no longer supports the technology. Why? Can you fix it to improve Indesign GPU performance, and use it for raster more faster previews, effects like shadows and exports?

    Indesign 15.1.1 , running on Mojave 10.14.6
