Adding a built-in option to create side-notes in Indiesign, such comments that come next to the text where they are numbered. In addition, there will be control over whether to insert a separator between them and the main text, as well as control of the numbering style, and the paragraph or character style applied to them. Adding or subtracting one comment will update the number and position of the other comments, and if one comment goes beyond the page boundaries - move its content to the next page.
Also, the designer should be given the choice of three options -
1. A note corresponding to its numbering in the main text.
2. Side-aligned notes aligned towards up.
3. Side-aligned notes towards down.

And the option to pin the notes to the outside of the page, or to the spine.

Hello!
Adobe InDesign has many users writing and experiencing the Central Kurdish language which are living and a great part population of Iraq which is the Kurdistan Region, but unfortunately, the Kurdish language spelling dictionary isn't available in InDesign.
I hope you can add an option for users writing with this language to let InDesign get their phrases and sentences to be added to the Kurdish language dictionary and be available for other users.
Or if you create a translation web page to add the Kurdish language phrase and sentence spellings to be available in Adobe InDesign and other adobe products.
Thanks.

Please develop some kind of External Style file format, that can be applied locally, and hopefully, via the cloud. But at least locally, PLEASE.

It is a crime that InDesign currently has NO WAY whatsoever to keep multiple documents styles synced. I run into this deeply frustrating problem all the time.

Currently, If I create a template file with some styles, and use that to create documents, and then If I update or refine paragraph styles, character styles, table styles, etc — there is no way for me to easily carry over those same styles to all other documents that are using those same styles.

This is deeply insane.
Please. PLEASE. It is 2019. Fix this.

Styles should work like external Sketch file library updates do. They should work like External CSS code. It should be possible to update a style in one document and push that style update to ALL documents using that Style Library.

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.

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.

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).

In inDesign, the PDF dialog really needs to have all of the functionality when formatting interactive fields as Adobe Acrobat Pro does.

I try to set up my interactive forms in inDesign for ease and efficiency of workflow, but when my manager asks me to "create them as validated fields" (i.e. the phone number is pre-formatted to be a 10 digit number input only, a SSN is also formatted to be a 9 digit number only, etc.) then I have to add another step in the process by re-doing the interactive fields in Acrobat, which is a major headache and time-suck.

Is this something that can be added to the inDesign interactive PDF functions?
