Complete integration of InDesign Form and Acrobat Form
Scenario: The client needs content changes after approving design/form process -- that means I scrap all of my acrobat calculations in the form fields to make the changes in InDesign.
It would be great(!) if InDesign supported either a "round-trip" editing process or has all of the features of Acrobat forms. I really don't care to edit in Acrobat, because InDesign is far superior for layout of complicated forms, with more editing tools, master pages, layers, etc.
As a side note, I think a really great feature would include a "form cell" style, for both character and paragraph. It is really tedious to edit in Acrobat a cell, one at a time, for alignment, type (i.e. number), size, etc.
Thanks for listening. Becki

100% agree! The amount of lost/wasted time having to reconfigure every field in Acrobat for a minor change in the InDesign doc is absurd. At the very least allow format options for text fields.
Oh, and the tab order window in InDesign needs addressing as well. -

Basic compatible functionality between Acrobat InDesign would be a good start. For example, setting a text field to be numerical only has to be done through Acrobat instead of InDesign. As soon as you have acrobat only functionality, you lose the ability to keep revisions within Indesign.

push this idea.
also great: a form field with two (or more..) column just like the indesign layout is..
