• SimpliedobjectselectionandeditinginInDesign.Whether you’re designing a document that
will be printed, viewed onscreen, or both, everything from aligning and distributing space
between objects to adjusting corner eects is faster and easier in InDesign. Perform multiple
transformations with a single tool, adjust the white space between objects, create corner eects
directly on a frame, and create grids by simply pressing arrow keys to add columns and rows.
• MultiplepagesizesinasingleInDesigndocument.Streamline design and production of
projects with multiple page sizes by including dierent page sizes in a single InDesign document.
Use the Page Selection tool to select and resize individual pages, applying resizing options in the
Control panel. Easily share design assets by applying the same master page to dierent-sized
layouts while controlling the placement of master elements in each individual layout.
• MoreecientCSS-baseddesignswithDreamweaver.If you’re an aspiring or novice web
designer who prefers designing pages to writing code, you’ll appreciate CSS Inspect. CSS Inspect
lets you lay out web pages based on Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) more easily—without diving
into code or using additional soware. For designers who are new to web design or who want to
deepen their knowledge of CSS, CSS Inspect makes it much easier to learn about and work with
CSS-based web pages.
•ConvenientvisualbrowsingandassethandlingwithAdobeMiniBridge.Take advantage of a
customizable panel in Photoshop Extended and InDesign to sort, lter, and drag les directly into
your artwork or layout without ever leaving your design soware.
Features for extending the reach of your designs to digital media without writing code
When designers collaborate with developers to produce interactive content, they sometimes have
to compromise their creative vision. With CS5 Design Premium, designers can work on interactive
content and media-rich projects themselves using familiar tools, skills, and design processes—and
without touching a line of code.
• InteractivecontentwithFlashCatalyst.Built specically for designers, Flash Catalyst enables
you to create interactive content without writing code. Transform artwork created in Photoshop,
Illustrator, or Fireworks into high-quality interactive content. Design simple projects, such as an
interactive portfolio or product brochure, that you can complete yourself in SWF format. Or
tackle more complex projects such as a user interface for a web application built in collaboration
with a developer.
• DynamicdigitaldocumentswithInDesign.Add aention-grabbing interactivity, animation,
video, and sound to your digital documents and presentations in your familiar design soware.
InDesign CS5 includes support for FLV video and MP3 audio les, as well as dozens of motion
presets that make it easy to create animations. Export a document or presentation from InDesign
to SWF format for playback in Adobe Flash Player or a web browser. Or export a document as an
interactive PDF le, complete with video and sound. Five panels introduced in InDesign CS5
provide intuitive controls that enable you to create a wealth of dazzling eects.
• Delivercrispgraphicsforweb,interactive,andmobiledesignsinIllustrator.Create resolution-
independent vector graphics that appear sharp in Dreamweaver, Flash Catalyst, Flash Profes-
sional, and Fireworks—and on virtually any screen. With Illustrator, you can create clean, crisp
artwork that aligns accurately on pixels, leing you condently take your artwork to PNG, JPG,
GIF, or other raster formats. Precise controls streamline artwork creation for the web by auto-
matically correcting drawn artwork to make sure it aligns to the pixel grid, eliminating blurred
edges and “split pixel” lines. Text anti-aliasing options provide exact control over the appearance
of dierent fonts and type sizes, and each text frame can have its own anti-aliasing seing for
optimal readability.
• SuperiortextlayoutandtypographyinFlashProfessional.Now your typography can look as
good onscreen as in print with a text engine in Flash Professional that preserves the type you
create in InDesign. When you hand o InDesign pages to Flash Professional CS5, the text ows
into threaded text frames, making it easy to do last-minute edits. Also enjoy advanced typo-
graphic control directly within Flash Professional CS5, including advanced text styling and
advanced text-layout control.
