Adobe InDesign CS5.5 What’s New
Drag-and-drop anchored objects
As text reflows on the page, an anchored object remains in position, moving with the text it’s
anchored to. Now you can add anchored objects quickly and intuitively. Simply drag the small blue
box from the frame of a selected image or text to the position in the text to which you want to
anchor it.
PDF accessibility enhancements
Reduce the time it takes to create PDF documents that people with disabilities can use more
effectively. Apply accessibility features within your InDesign document, rather than having to make
the changes in Acrobat. PDF tags, alt tags, and the content order you assign stay with the document
as you revise it.
Now you can more easily add, edit, and
view alt text attributes that are associated
with an image or object. For example,
rather than creating new alt text, you can
use description metadata that was added to
an image in Adobe Bridge, or include alt
text already attached to an object you
imported from Microsoft Word. It’s also
easier to add alt text directly in InDesign
using the new Object Export Options
dialog box.
The new Articles panel and the ability
to map styles to PDF tags let you ensure
content flows in the expected order when
viewers use screen readers and other
assistive technologies.
