Introducing the Creative Suite

you can import media such as movie clips and sound files in InDesign CS4 and export them to

PDF. Because PDF is the reliable standard for onscreen document viewing and output to profes-

sional printing devices, the CS4 programs take advantage of core PDF architecture. Finally,

Fireworks CS4 can also author PDF. This allows a Web site to be shared and commented upon

using standard Acrobat tools and techniques.
