Ability to Start a new section through a paragraph style
Is it possible to add the ability to start a new section to a paragraph style so that when adding or removing text the beginning of the section is shifted to the desired page?

Different line lengths with paragraph shading
Paragraph shading is great but even if you choose to set it to text instead of column, the length of each line is the same for all lines of the paragraph (the longest one). It would be great to have the ability to set it according to the length of each line. For now, you have to use paragraph rules wit a hard return at the end of each line.

Rulers ON by default, as a choice
Would like to be able to turn rulers ON by default, no matter what document I'm opening, creating, whatever. I see this was mentioned in the Illustrator side, and it applies just as much for InDesign.
I know it's a simple key stroke away, but document after document after document, all day long, gets old quickly.
Thanks!

Support "Go-to-Page Button" interactivity in a PDF
It would be nice to create a BUTTON that links to another page in the document (PDF).
Don't quite understand why this type of button interactivity is "dropped" in the first place.

Add ''SAVE ALL'' and ''CLOSE ALL'' into INDESIGN ''File MENU''. Using Indesign for years and years, I never see that the shortcut exists ! And past many time saving or cloqsing file by file. Don't you thik it could be a great idea to code it inthe FILE MENU of Indesign... It could be great when using Books and many files at the same time.

Title interrupting frame border
For a title within a frame, a not-uncommon graphic design method is to have the title interrupting the frame. You can create a title with a paragraph border and shading and then shift the paragraph, border and shading up, but instead of overprinting over the frame border, the frame border goes through the middle of the title.

Can someone please explain what the "story list.xml" is about, which (from time to time) is created when exporting to InCopy?

Clipping masks with varied transparency
The ability to apply an image as a clipping mask to another image from within InDesign instead of needing to rely on other software like Photoshop would be really helpful.
I have hundreds of pages that need editing together with 1 - 3 images per page. Each of these images needs a png applied to them as a clipping mask with the text positioned around them. Currently the only way to do this in InDesign is to import something like a .psd file that you can't make live edits on. Constantly flicking between different software to get the layout right…

Have a Dropdown arrow in the middle of Control/any Panel in Indesign So when the Mouse is Hoverd/Clicked on it The Menu/Options show up
I like the Properties Panel idea And Hiding the Control Bars on top to maybe look less daunting to newcomers but What if It has a DropDown arrow. A small panel tucked inside on top of Indesign while having a dropdown arrow in the middle so when the mouse is clicked/hovered on top it falls down occupying the same amt of space. Can also be used on every other Panel the Right one as well. Just Hover the Mouse to the extreme Right and the Panel shows up and when not more viewing space for the file. I m not…

Print dialog reverts to 1 copy
I wish the print dialog box defaulted back to 1 copy like all other software programs that I am familiar with.
As a teacher I am updating student printouts every semester. When I am ready to proof read my changes, I hit Cmd+P and walk over to the printer to find 87 copies sitting there waiting to be proofed, because I had printed 87 finished copies the previous semester. Yes, I am aware of this quirk of InDesign, but hitting Cmd+P followed by return is muscle memory. I know I have wasted several reams of paper over the years.

Possibility to ignore stroke type in object styles
Whenever you export EPUB with some object style you have made, it always comes with a border style. For example, border-style:solid;
In cell styles it's possible to ignore the stroke type so it would be great if same can be done in object styles.1 vote -
Preserve positioning data when pasting graphic from one frame to another
When I copy an image from one frame and paste it into another, I expect this action to preserve two sets of attributes: scaling factor and positioning data.
I get one out of two (scaling).
No offense, but QuarkXPress could do both back in 1990.
Why does this matter? Imagine a layout with a horizontal row of head shots, each in a separate frame of the same shape and size. Client says, "Oh, please move photo 3 to frame 10, and scoot everyone else up one frame."
I don't have to imagine this situation, as I'm currently working on a…

When creating/editing a PDF Export Preset, please make the "View pdf after export" available again. It is currently gray'ed out.
It is currently gray'ed out during preset creation, but had been available for MANY previous versions. I hate it that my PDFs no longer open automatically in Acrobat after creation. I found it VERY useful.

Export All Comments
Hello,
I would like to request the ability to export all comments, whether from pins or drawn shapes, made on documents on assets.adobe.com. Once files are moved off of Creative Cloud, all comments are lost, so it would be great to be able to save comments for posterity prior to files being archived somewhere else.
Thank you.

Stop hiding the known issues, and release notes for each release
Where's the link that leads to the latest releases known issues list? It's hard enough to find the release notes for the newest version release.
It should be a simple link right under the is this compatible with your computer info in The creative cloud desktop app.
I need the list of known issues with the latest release to determine whether or not I'm going to upgrade to it or wait until a critical issue is resolved.
Sometimes an issue will not be in the feature I use so I will update other times it is something that will majorly…

Control the limit of up and download speed for Creative Cloud sync
Today you can not control the sync speed for Creative cloud on an actual speed like 10Mb/s or similar its more like Fast, Medium, Slow. on cooperate networks its better to set a fix max limit so not one user slows down the whole network GW. It would be great if this value could be set when creating the package in admin console
