Extensive Integration
Work smoothly with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, InCopy, and
Dreamweaver software; enjoy consistency by using shared presets and color
settings; work more efficiently with native file format support; and easily
publish to multiple media.
Creative Effects and Controls
Design compelling page layouts that include transparency, creative effects, and
gradient feathers. Since effects are live and nondestructive, you can experiment
with ease. Apply effects independently to an object's stroke, fill, or content.
Reliable Prepress and Printing
Have confidence in your output. Get accurate, consistent results every time you
print using sophisticated preview capabilities, exporting reliable Adobe PDF
files, and sharing custom presets.
Productivity Enhancements
Perform a variety of tasks more efficiently using new and enhanced productivity
features, including Multi-file Place, Quick Apply, faster frame fitting, and the
visual Pages panel.
XHTML Export
Enable multiformat publishing, including print-to-web workflows, by exporting
InDesign content as XHTML. Edit the exported content in Adobe Dreamweaver CS3
software (available separately) and automatically format it using cascading
style sheets.
Professional Typographical Controls
Compose beautiful typography using professional controls including the Paragraph
Composer, OpenType fonts, drop caps, glyphs, and optical kerning and margin
alignment.
Full-Featured Tables
Create richly formatted tables. Import tab-delimited text files and styled
Microsoft Word or Excel tables, or build tables in InDesign. Apply a wide
variety of formatting options manually or using table and cell styles.
Robust Long-Document Support
Maintain consistency and streamline the production of long documents using
advanced bullets and numbering, running headers and footers, and synchronized
master pages.
Smart Text Handling
Control your text with intelligent text-handling features including the ability
to import styled text from Microsoft Word files, apply complex text wraps around
objects, and comprehensively replace fonts.
