Top reasons to upgrade to Adobe® InDesign® CS5
Interactive documents and presentations
Engage and inform readers with documents and presentations that integrate interactivity, animation, sound, and video. Export documents directly from InDesign to SWF files for playback in Adobe Flash® Player.
Simplified object selection and editing
Perform repetitive layout tasks efficiently. Manipulate frames and
frame content without switching tools. Dynamically adjust white space between objects while maintaining the
relationship between frames. Use on-object controls to modify frame corners directly in the layout.
Integration with Adobe CS Review*
Create and share document reviews online from within InDesign
through integration with CS Review, a new CS Live online service.
*Invite colleagues and clients to comment
using just a browser. Using the CS Review integration in InDesign, you can view comments in the context
of your InDesign layout, making it easier to address feedback to meet project deadlines more efficiently.

Multiple page sizes
Create pages with different sizes in a single document to streamline file management.
Share the same master page across different-sized layouts for greater efficiency.
Tracked text changes
Mark up text directly in InDesign and easily track copy revisions. Get to final copy
faster by accepting or rejecting text changes within the document.
Paragraphs that span and split columns
Quickly format headlines, subheads, or any text to span multiple
columns in a single text frame without having to create separate text frames.
All-new Layers panel
Easily manage layers in simple and complex documents. Quickly find, select, lock,
hide, name, and change the stacking order of individual page items directly in the Layers panel. Drag objects
from one group to another. The new Layers panel behavior is similar to the Layers panel in Adobe Illustrator®
and Adobe Photoshop.®
Production enhancements
Speed up delivery of print and digital documents. Preview InDesign pages and
placed images in Adobe Bridge. Find linked assets used in one layout and drag them into another InDesign
document using the integrated Mini Bridge panel.
Eliminate missing fonts
InDesign automatically installs the required fonts when you open a document and
uninstalls them when you close it. Appropriate font licensing is still required.
Digital export
Export your page design and text layouts with greater fidelity to Flash Professional CS5,
retaining animation, video, and sound from your InDesign document. Export InDesign content as XHTML
with greater control over page order for editing in Adobe Dreamweaver® CS5. Export eBooks authored in
InDesign CS5 to industry-standard EPUB files for reading on laptops or mobile devices, including the Apple
iPad, Sony Reader, and Barnes & Noble nook. Include rich media to bring eBooks to life when read on a
personal computer using Adobe Digital Editions, a desktop reading application.
Live captions
Generate static or live captions automatically from image metadata, and add text before or
after the selected metadata tag in InDesign. Specify the position and style of the caption, optionally including
the caption on its own layer.
