Who uses InDesign?
Designers, production specialists, and printers use InDesign to lay out, preflight, and publish
documents for print, online publication, or delivery to mobile devices. InDesign offers precise
control over typography to produce the best results possible for both print and digital distribution.
Creative professionals take advantage of its tight integration with leading industry tools, including
Adobe Photoshop®, Adobe Illustrator®, Adobe Acrobat®, and Adobe Flash® Professional software.
Publishers, designers, and advertisers can take advantage of Folio Producer tools that integrate
with Adobe Digital Publishing Suite* to create and publish digital content through leading mobile
marketplaces for consumption on tablet devices.
Top new features of Adobe InDesign CS5.5
Folio Producer tools
Invite viewers to engage more deeply with your digital content using interactive overlays that offer
readers panorama views, the ability to rotate objects 360 degrees, the chance to scroll and pan
across an image, and access to placed websites. Use the new Folio Producer tools to add interactive
overlays to your documents and preview them within the context of your publication in InDesign.
Interactive overlays are supported in .folio files used in Adobe Digital Publishing Suite,* which lets
you create and distribute publications for tablet devices such as Apple’s iPad, BlackBerry Playbook,
and the Motorola Xoom. In addition to the new interactive overlays, you can also include audio,
video, slide shows, and hyperlinks in .folio documents.
You can preview how
your publication will
appear on a tablet—
including interactive
overlays such as
panorama views, 360-
degree rotation, scrolling
and panning, and placed
websites—using
Content Viewer for
Desktop, one of the Folio
Producer tools included
with InDesign CS5.5.
