Add a set of Roman numerals to script fonts.
I design a lot of invitations and it would be nice not to have to manually create them from other typestyles to look pleasing to the eye. This also goes for addressing them as well.

Distribute gradient colour stops evenly
It would be nice if there was a button in the gradient palette that automatically distributed all the colour stop locations evenly from 0% to 100%.
Often gradients have 5+ colour stops in them, and it becomes tricky when adding more stops to then rearrange them all across the entire length.

idml icons
In InDesign CC 2019, its hard to see the difference between the icons of INDD and a IDML files. I propose to Adobe to keep the INDD icon unchanged and to make IDML icone with a purple coulour but not so saturated that on INDD icons. Maybe it should be almost grey.

Bookmark highlited
Once I set a bookmark on a page, I would like the bookmark name to be highlighted in the bookmark panel when I'm on the page. Just like how when an image is selected, the name is highlighted in the links panel.

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.

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…

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

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.

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.

Don't add an extra page when endnotes are imported
The new endote option is nice (could be better, but hey, it's something). The only thing that bugs me is the fact that a new page is added everytime I place text that contains endnotes, or when I copy/paste that text.
It screws up much of my design, and I have to manually delete the page and put everything back in it's right place.
Would be great if the endnote frame would just be placed on the same page as the end of the text flow!

Preference setting for "Preview" switch in dialog boxes
I am wishing for a preference to switch on all the dialog box Preview switches in ALL InDesign dialog boxes; such as especially the Paragraph Styles dialog box, the Character Styles dialog box, the Text Frame Options dialog box, etc...
Everytime I upgrade InDesign or sit in front of another classroom computer, I have to switch these on one at a time. I would love to streamline that.

Object alignment to frame
Can there also be an option in the Align window to enable embedded or grouped objects to align with their parent frame? The feature would be disabled by default for parent or objects that don't have any child (embedded or grouped) objects.
The feature would enable users to align objects that are grouped/embedded to be aligned to the frames boundaries and horizontal/vertical centres, which would not be possible with current alignment options. It could also help users to align objects that have uniquely shaped frame boundaries.

Background Task Panel
Please make the Background Task panel smaller. There doesn’t seem to be any reason for it to be this big. For laptop users it is a real space hog.

Publish Online iPhone view Disappear the URL Search Bar
When we publish a document online, the chances are it will be 16:9 or a double page spread. Many client may wish to view this on a device such as iPad or iPhone.
We have found that when we try to do this and turn the device (iPhone, Safari) to landscape mode, the URL search field bar can appear and NOT disappear again. This takes a lot of screen space and ruins the effect and view of the page.
Is there a solution to this?
