1. Select multiple, discontinuous paragraphs

   When applying paragraph styles throughout a document, it is only possible to select multiple continuous paragraphs in one go. If I want to style all first level headings, for example, I have to click on each, apply the paragraph style and repeat and repeat and repeat... Often finding the appropriate style requires scrolling in the paragraph styles window. It would be very useful, and much quicker, to be able to select all headings and apply Head A (or whatever) in one click. This might be achieved by clicking in the paragraphs with a keyboard combination pressed or, as was done in Ventura, with a separate tool.

2. Last Sentence Nested Style Option

   Add an option that will allow you to set up nested text at the end of a paragraph in addition to the beginning of paragraphs. Our magazine bolds the last sentences in one of columns and this would be a big time saver.

   Does including a GREP Style in your Paragraph Style to detect the last sentence in a Paragraph work? You can then automatically apply a Character Style to it.

3. Manage the opacity of fill color in Table options

   It could be great to be able to manage the opacity of the fill color of the table in addition of the tint. So that we can apply a table on top of an image but in keeping the text in full opacity like in the exemple below.

4. Ability to scroll/move on page while style options window is open

   In earlier versions of InDesign this was possible. Now I can only zoom in and out. While editing my styles I want to be able to still zoom AND scroll/move on the pages in order to see the changes where the take effect.

5. Reset to base for one single parameter of a paragraph/character/etc. style

   I wish there was an easy way to just reset one specific parameter of a style to base ([ignore]).

   For example:
   I have paragraph style p2 which is based on p1. I previously overwrote the Font Style of p2 but now I decided to change it back to inherit the Font Style of its base style (p1). It would be nice to have some way to do that only for the Font Style. Not for the Font Family or Size or any other parameter. Maybe by option–, cmd- or right-clicking on the parameter's name...?

6. Enable column rules to ignore text wrap and anchored objects.

   As it is now, column rules adhere to text wrap and will no longer "extend" if near an image with text wrap applied. Furthermore, placing an anchored object, an inline image for example, causes the rule to exhibit the same behavior in that it stops once it reaches the anchored object. Would like an option for column rules to simply ignore text wrap/anchored object so that the rules continue to extend.

   This would help me (and others) to keep a consistent appearance as needed. In the attached example, there's a 3 column product listing where you can see how awkward it looks to have the rule stop short rather than continue. Furthermore, without the picture, the rule stops short of the subhead, also awkward.

7. Easier to find Span columns

   I teach InDesign to beginners so we use the Properties panel a lot. I would like an easy way to find span columns directly in the Properties panel. Now you have to go to the Control panel and if it fits the screen you will find it at the right, otherwise in the Paragraph panelmenu. Such a great feature should be easier to access

8. Make Anchored text box and table content visible in InCopy story editor

   Anchored objects only appear as icons in the InCopy story editor tab. This is no problem for photos and graphics, however:

   My editors can't see tracked changes if they can't view the anchored text or tables in the Story Editor. They can make edits in Layout view, but can't tell if another editor made any edits.

   Unlike InDesign where I can see track changes in the Story editor just by clicking in the anchored text or table, InCopy has no alternative — editors have only the Story tab and it doesn't appear there.

   This is a crucial feature for us. We are now designing for ADA compliance and use anchored objects, text and tables to maintain reading order.

   Unfortunately, anchored text and tables slow down the editing process as our editors switch between views, and reduce accuracy since they can't see tracked changes. This feature will help improve the speed and accuracy of our production of ADA compliant PDFs. Thanks!

9. Allow closing of "Adobe InDesign 2020" palette

   Please allow closing of the "Adobe InDesign 2020" palette completely. I was able to extract it off the top of the top toolbar, but there's literally no way to close it and nothing in it that I would ever use on a regular basis. And I already know I'm in InDesign 2020—I don't need to lose 20 or 30 pixels all the way across the top of my screen telling me that, and I certainly don't need it lying fallow covering up part of my screen once I move it out of the top palette area.

11. Ability to create interactive PDF forms in InDesign

    Ability to create interactive PDF forms in InDesign with all fields available as Acrobat Pro and be able to live test the form and make changes within InDesign rather than having to export the PDF each time to test the form.

    I make forms for clients and it gets very annoying when I set up hundreds of fields in InDesign and finalise a form and a client sees a typo so I have to go back in InDesign and make the fix and then re-export the file and add other fields again to it.

    Would also like a feature with it where you can convert any frame or table column or row into a form field. So that way you have field info in one column and the column on the right to it has boxes that can be highlighted and converted into form fields and they stay looking like a table.

12. The dreaded Data Merge "There is at least one data placeholder that cannot be found" error

    when using Data Merge, so many of us have gotten the "There is at least one data placeholder that cannot be found in the data source. Make sure all the placeholders correspond to the fields in the data source." error and have spent way too much time trying to find the issue.
    
    Can Adobe add a way to highlight what InDesign is objecting to when this message happens?
    
    This morning, I gave up and inserted the text manually. There were only 4 elements on each of my 5 Master pages and I could not find the offending object.

13. Allow variables to be used within styles

    It would be great to have a more flexible method of configuring styles; the purpose being to cut down on the number of styles with only minor differences between them.

    We use page templates where the layout is pretty much the same, apart from minor differences / colours. But we have to define a complete set of styles for all colour variations, greatly increasing the complexity.

    However, if you can enable any setting to be stored as a variable, this could reduce the number of styles in a document by 90%. For example:

    A set of master styles for the document is created, with some settings being stored as variables. These variables are then associated with a particular page template. Then, when you use the master styles in the document, the appearance changes depending on which page template they're used on.

    Used this way, if you have 10 page templates and 10 styles, the total number of styles for the document would be 10. However, at the moment, you have to define styles for each of the page templates, which would mean 100 styles in the document.

    This also has other implications; for example, even though there are 10 styles with only subtle differences between them, they are used for the same purpose on each page (running headers, for example) - yet keyboard shortcuts can't be assigned as you'd have to use 10 different shortcuts, and remember which one is used for which template.

    There are also advantages to using variables too - if you configure a page using one page template, then need to change the style, simply changing the page template would completely change the look in one action (whereas at the moment all styles would have to be changed manually or by find and replace).

19. Export the data of forms not just by email

    Currently when you fill a .pdf document with forms created by Adobe Indesign CC (or Acrobat PRO DC) the just possibility to send the data is using a email client (outlook, thunderbird, ...) or sending this document in attachement of an email.

    It would be interesting to using an other solution because fewer and fewer users use email client... and used an attachement is less "user friendly".

    I think it would be possible to send the data using an interface or an bridge... for example a specific site (creativecloud.adobe.com ?) that would store the data directly using a URI : http://creativecloud.adobe.com/form/name_of_form?field_1=data_field_1&field_2=data_field_2&... ?

    All easily customizable in Adobe Indesign. You see what I mean ?

20. Add "Grid Calculator PRO" by default in Adobe Indesign CC 2020 or improve the setup of grid / baseline grid

    The plugin "Grid Calculator PRO" (https://www.designersbookshop.com/grid-calculator-pro-edition.html) is perfect.

    With this plugin you can configure the grid and/or the baseline grid precisely much more that with default setup of Adobe Indesign CC 2020.

    It would be interesting to integrate this plugin directly in Adobe Indesign CC 2020 or modify the currently setup of the configuration of grid / baseline grid feature adding more options for this elements.
