Free rotation of sheets
Hi.
InDesign allows you to rotate the sheet at 90º angles to the right, left and 180º.
It would be nice to be able to also rotate the sheet freely, as for example allows Photoshop.
Sometimes when you design, although you can rotate 90º in 90º, you end up having to twist your neck.
I hope you find the idea useful
.Thank you.

Drag an image directly from the links panel to the page.
There's something i'd LOVE to see in inDesign.
Imagine, you design a document, with different images, logos, etc. They come from libraries, folders, bridge, you name it.
Now you realize a logo you used on page 1 needs to replace a logo on page 24. But not ALL logos. And you want to do it visually by dragging and dropping.
You'd need to copy, paste inside, or use the relink command. And may be need to dig in your CC libraries to find it again.
Same thing if you'd like to place it somewhere else. You have all your links…

To implement the Advanced Composition Engine font technollogy
Advanced Composition Engine is a technology far superior than OTF and TTF so it would be a great engine to use within Adobe products. Not just for Arabic and eastern script but for every possible script. It is 2019 so let's get our options to max level.
You can read about Advanced Composition Engine at this article:

Style Application "Tool Tips"
When I create a "complex" style definition with a long set of embedded styles and a "next" style, I want my coworkers and contractors to apply the full style to the correctly selected copy by using the "Apply (style) then Next Style, Clear Overrides" option (right-click Style Name in the Styles Menu).
I would be great if I could attach a "Tool Tip" ("Style Application Tip?") to the Style Name in the Menu--it would appear on application of the style, or perhaps on rollover. Attaching the Tip to Templated Objects on the page would be great also.
Basically, I want…

Snap to frame edges/layers
In Photoshop, there are very robust options for snapping to guides, grids, layers, document bounds, etc. each of which can be turned on and off individually.
In InDesign, snapping is much more limited and it is only possible to snap to guides. This means that whenever snapping is desired, guides must be created, which is an extra step that could be streamlined by expanding snapping options to be more like Photoshop.

Hello,
In Indesign, it would be interesting in the 'text block' to have the option 'Adapt the text to the block'. The option exists for the image block 'to adapt the image to the block proportionally' to adapt this option to the 'text block' would be a saving of time and the possibility to automate a good number of works. For example, to change from A6 to A5 via the linked article system it works great with the image block and not at all with the text block. The only possibility of action with the 'Text block' is to enlarge…

Please see if using the “Free transform tool” solves your purpose
Just select the object, switch to the Free Transform tool, and place your cursor over one of the corner or side points. When you see the double-headed arrow, drag.-Thanks

Fit Page to Artwork Bounds or Selected Art
In Illustrator, there are two very useful features in the OBJECT >> ARTBOARDS menu:
--Fit to Artwork Bounds
--Fit to Selected ArtThese automatically adjust the size of the artboard to either the outer boundaries of ALL the artwork on that artboard, or to the outer boundaries of the currently SELECTED artwork.
I use this all the time in Illustrator. To my knowledge there is no equivalent InDesign feature that automatically resizes a PAGE to the artwork on it. This would be very handy

scroll through PDF pages while ALREADY placing with cursor directly in document
i'd love to have a feature where i can scroll through the pages of a multi-page PDF document AFTER i i've been in the import options and when i'm already placing stuff directly in the document with the placement cursor.
for expample using the arrows keys (similar to creating a grid when placing multiple images) to scroll to page 5 when the next page would actually be page 2. in addition to the little preview image next to the cursor this might speed up things a lot in some cases.
enlighten me if this is already possible. all i found…

Optimise for web function
Optimise for web function when export jpegs out of Indesign
I find it a lot faster to layout and crop images to various sizes for websites when using Indesign instead of Photoshop.
Could you please add this feature – the file size out of Indesign is too large.
Thank you

Corners option fill default to 0p
Whenever I create a new text box, I get the default of outline set to 1p. I always forget to change this, and in editing have to go back and remove all these boxes from picturs, etc. This wastes a lot of time. Have not found where I can set this, saving a changed empty doc does not seem to work.

sort by name in CC library groups
It would be nice to be able to sort by name when library items are in a folder group in CC libraries. Currently that option is grayed out for the group view, but not for the view by type view.

Type and select style from drop down list
Need to type and select the style from the drop down list. Currently we need to find and select the style using mouse scrolling. It will take time when we have lots of paragraph, character styles in InDesign document. Do this for all the drop down list available in InDesign palette. For example, we need to delete a style and replace with another style.

CC Libraries Export should remember last-used folder
When exporting CC Libraries from InDesign on macOS, the Desktop is always chosen as the last export location, even if you have already exported to another folder in that session.
ID should remember the last-Library-exporter folder and autofill it into the "Location:" section.
