Avoid Widows and Orphans in Paragraph Styles
It would be great to have a check box or even a separate tab for Widows and Orphans in Paragraph Styles. Right now you have to use GREP to get this to work or control them manually. It would be a huge time saver to add this option into the style settings. These are well-known and widely used typography rules that should be a part of InDesign.

Chrome OS support please!
Would be awesome not to have our team on Chromebooks totally locked out from doing simple text editing on InDesign files.

Grid Page View
An option to view the pages within a single document in a grid layout, rather than just one continuous column of pages one below the other. It would be a valuable tool for designers that wish to view a lot of their pages at once, rather than having to continuously scroll up & down the many pages of an InDesign document.

Place PDF comment text boxes into INDD as a text box
I have trained our marketing team to use the Acrobat commenting tools correctly so we can streamline our editing which is great now with the PDF import. However there are times when larger chunks of text are being added. They would draw a text box on the page with formatted text. It would be IDEAL if we could just click accept and the text box appeared in INDD. Then we can just format it.

Add rows to margins and columns dialogue
Within the Margins & Columns dialogue box, it would be very powerful to be able to add a series of rows as well. Basically, bringing the baseline grid within the margins that a user can create in this dialogue box. It can behave exactly as the columns do, only they show up horizontally along with the columns. It may also be necessary to have a checkbox for gutters, I could see a use-case for having gutters or not.

Add option to share direct link to specific page in PublishOnline
We love PublishOnline but feel it is missing a "jump to page" feature or "share direct link to specific page" feature. This way, when our publications go live, we can share direct links to specific articles on social media or with clients without forcing people toggle through each page to get there. pretty please? It would help us out immensely.

Possibility to change the default language in Middle Eastern version from Hebrew into English
I have the Middle Eastern version of InDesign. I understand the default for all settings is Hebrew/Arabic. I would really like to be able to change the default language into English when I will be working on an English document, and then be able to change the default back to Hebrew when I am working on a Hebrew document. As it is, I feel like I am constantly running into Hebrew formatting while trying to make an exclusively English product. It seems all the settings have to be changed individually, and even seem to automatically jump back into Hebrew format.…

sort paragraph styles
I'd like to have the option to sort paragraph styles by alphanumeric sequence. That would make it much easier to find the right styles after importing them from multiple documents.

Interactive PDF/Form Function
Interactive PDFs - Better functions for Setting Tab Order.
Being able to reorder interactive items in InDesign is a great feature (instead of doing so in Acrobat) but there is room for growth.
Having the ability to track the selections you're reordering would be nice. For example, you select an item in the box and it selects or highlights those items on your page so you know for sure what you're reordering.
You could use the active document to select an item and have the Set Tab Order box open/working to reorder.
Having the ability to expand the "Set Tab…

Allow user to change default color of Ruler Guides
For those of us with color-blindness issues (and it's my belief that there's a lot more of us than you think...), there really needs to be a simple preference switch for the default Ruler Guide color to be changeable. It should be so simple to just go into Prefs & select the guide color we can actually see, then simply carry on working. But currently it's a complete ball-ache every time to have to go into 'Layout > Ruler Guides > Change color > Ok'. The current 'long-way-round' change guide color process is just an added frustration to every job!…

Watermark-option when pdf-export (interactive) from InDesign
When you export a pdf-file from InDesign (as an interactive pdf), there should be an option for watermarks.
With this option you could save time because you don’t have to use Acrobat afterwards or create a new layer in InDesign.In Acrobat this option is already available, but with more opportunities (you don't need so many). It would be enough to have the following possibilities:
- „text of your choice“
- text scale
- text opacity
- text angle (0°, 45°, 90°)4 votes -

Update links in ALL open documents
When working with multiple open documents, usually with similar or same assets) it would be great if Indesign could update that assets across all open documents in the same action.
Often, I need to switch between the source application, eg. Illustrator. and change an asset effecting several similar documents that are open. Would it be wonderful to update that same asset when you switch back to the active Indesign session with multiple files/tabes open. Instead, we need to select file by file and update the same assets in each instance.

Layer comps (Different View States)
I need to be able to easily export different view states of the same LARGE documents that get incremental updates, showing and hiding different layers and objects depending on who the exported file will be going to.
Having the option to use Layer Comps would allow for different view states to be enabled for each export.

"Publish Online" change viewer language
The default language for the viewer is English and can only be changed from the viewer. As our clients are germans, it would be very helpful to set the language to German (or any other language) while publishing online.

Make Indesign UI bigger
People have been complaining for years about Indesign's hard to see UI and the inability to make adequate changes. Why is it 2020, and this issue is still unresolved? I shouldn't have to change my Windows UI to make it better, which by the way it doesn't. Attached pic of my display at the recommend UI setting of 250% on a 15 inch screen.
