Add text wrapping feature to combo box for interactive pdf drop down boxes with statements/questions.
I am trying to create an interactive pdf interview guide for my company. We would like to have the possible questions they can ask in a drop down format to help ensure the same question isn't asked by multiple people. I need to be able to add more characters to the combo box, then I also need them to automatically text wrap so that the text isn't displayed as a tiny line of text that isn't readable. I think Excel allows you to create drop downs with sentences that will wrap text.

Styles order when importing or book synking
It would be a good thing to keep styles order from source file.
If i have the following list of styles
- Style 1
- Style 2
- Style 3and i create a "Style 2X", i can place ir right above "Style 2". But when it is imported from another file or inked on a book, new style goes to the end of the styles list.
We should have an option like "keep list order" when link or import.
Is it possible to do that?
Thanks!

Share for review—interactive documents
Loving the new Share for Review feature, but how about the ability to markup documents with interactivity. Currently, all the buttons, rollovers, etc. disappear when using this feature—which implies it's just a baked-in version of adobe DC's commenting feature for static PDF documents.

External (Global) Styles — (Paragraph, Character, Table, etc) to sync and apply to multiple documents
It is constantly frustrating that every year Adobe fails to update InDesign with external Style functionality.
It should be easy to define a set of Paragraph Styles and apply that as "Global Style" which can then be used
across multiple InDesign files. Updating a "Global Style" would then apply those Style changes to all affected documents.This should apply to all things that can have styles applied, Table, Object, Paragraph, Character, etc. Any of these different styles should be able to be saved to an External Global Style — that can be then saved externally locally — or saved to the…

Please reinstate this feature: Cmd-H to hide program with no open documents
In InDesign, you can’t hide the program with Cmd-H when no documents are open any more.
It’s a feature I use a lot, and has suddenly stopped working. As far as I know it has been there since the beginning.
Why on earth someone thought it was a good idea to remove this is beyond me.3 votes -
We need feature variables
Ideas for expanding the functionality of text variables have already appeared here. It would also be interesting to create variables to describe the properties of non-text objects. For example, color, font size, size (length / width), page position, styles, etc.
The benefit of such an introduction is obvious: you do not need to create many monotonous styles that differ only in one or two common features. It would also indirectly affect the number of master spreads created.
Each property of a certain object represented by a list (for example, color) can be expanded with variables of the corresponding types (color…

Export as FLA for Animate
It would be great to have FLA export back into InDesign. I totally understand that it might be time to remove the SWF export but to bring banner designs from InDesign to Adobe Animate it would be nice to have an export option.

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!

Import PDF comments in InCopy
If we're using a workflow that includes stories in InCopy, it'd be great if our editors/writers can manage the edits/markups to their content through InCopy so they can truly own the content (and prevent the back and forth of review/edits with designers and writers after a document has been reviewed).

Brushes
It would be great to be able to import Illustrator brushes in that can be used to style Frame Borders in the same way you can use it as stroke styles in Illustrator. InDesign is woefully behind in allowing procedural design.

Include chapter number in index
I'd like to include the chapter number as prefix for the page numbers in the index.
Background:
I have a book with 60 documents. Each document has another chapter number and page numbering restarts in every document at 1. The chapter number is separately styled, so that it is an eyecatcher.The index for the whole book is placed in document 1. For a useful index I need the chapter numbers!
My current workaround is:
Before I update the index I enable the option "Include section prefix in page numbering" in EVERY document. Then I update my index and then…3 votes -
Make it possible to use ParaNumOnly in InDesign cross-reference
When cross-referencing I would like to be able to use ParaNumOnly, like in FrameMaker. In Danish, and probably other languages, the reference to e.g. "Figure 1" mid sentence should be lower case - "see figure 1" even though I am cross referencing Figure 1. ParaNumOnly would make it possible for me to only cross reference the number and control whether the case in "figure" should be upper or lower.

Rename placed images (Bulk)
Be able to rename already placed images in InDesign as a bulk, something similar to Adobe Bridge Batch Rename, the issue with Bridge will be I will have to place each image at a time in InDesign if I used Bridge to rename my images.

InDesign should feature the same shape corner handles as Illustrator
It works so well! And has been adapted by XD. I'd love to see those little circular rounded corner handles in InDesign for shapes.

Actions! Photoshop has had that for 20 years or so -- and it saves tons of time. In ID, I have to endlessly repeat these manual maneuvers.
This is a non-brainer feature idea, and has been that for 20 years. Actions!

Enable more functions in right click
I wish right click would bring up more options - for example, right clicking a linked file should give me the option to 'reveal in finder' but I have to open the links pallets to get that. It would improve my workflow no end.
