Description

Adobe® InDesign® CS4 software breaks down the barriers between online and offline publishing. Create compelling print layouts, immersive content for playback in the Adobe Flash® Player runtime, and interactive PDF documents.

Did you know...

InDesign is part of the InDesign family

InDesign provides a versatile foundation for dynamic publishing workflows, both now and in the future.

Creating digital documents is a snap

See how the strengths of InDesign CS4 and Adobe Flash CS4 Professional together deliver an engaging SWF file complete with animation, interactivity, video, and sound.

Publishing long documents has never been easier

Create high-impact, personalized content and long documents tailored for unique audiences using logical, condensed steps and advanced features.


Features

Live Preflight

Live Preflight

Preflight while you design. Continuous preflighting alerts you to potential production problems in real time so you can quickly navigate to a problem, fix it directly in layout, and keep working.

Customizable Links panel

Customizable Links panel

Find, sort, and manage all of your document's placed files in the customizable Links panel. View attributes that are most critical to your workflow such as scale, rotation, and resolution.

Conditional Text

Conditional text

Deliver multiple versions of a document for different users, all from a single Adobe® InDesign® source file. Hide text at paragraph, word, and even character level without relying on layers. The remaining text and anchored objects automatically reflow in the layout.

Cross-references

Cross-references

Simplify the writing, production, and management of long documents with flexible and powerful cross-references that dynamically update as content is changed or moved within a document.

Interactive document design with SWF file export

Interactive document design with SWF file export

Transform page layouts into dynamic SWF files without working in the Adobe Flash® authoring environment. Create digital documents with interactive buttons, hyperlinks, and unique page transitions for playback in the Adobe Flash Player runtime.

Smart Text Reflow

Automatically add pages at the end of a story, selection, or document when text is overset using this new preference. Smart Text Reflow works hand in hand with conditional text as pages are automatically deleted or added when conditional text is hidden or shown in the document.

Page transitions in SWF and PDF files

Page transitions in SWF and PDF files

Apply page transitions such as curl, wipe, dissolve, fade, and more to individual pages or all spreads, and output to SWF or PDF. Preview a page transition before it is applied, and experiment with speed and direction for greater design control.

Export to Adobe Flash CS4 Professional

Export to Adobe Flash CS4 Professional (XFL)

Export documents to the XFL format and open them in Flash CS4 Professional with the visual fidelity of your original InDesign layout maintained. Use Flash to add sophisticated interactivity, animation, and navigation to complex layouts for an engaging reading experience.

Smart Guides

Smart Guides

Quickly align, space, rotate, and resize single or multiple objects with the help of dynamic guides. The guides, object dimensions, rotation angles, and x and y coordinates appear dynamically so you can quickly snap an object's edge or its vertical or horizontal center to another object or page edge in the layout.

Spread rotation

Temporarily rotate the spread view without physically turning your monitor. Enjoy full editing capability at 90- and 180-degree angles so that you can easily include nonhorizontal elements in your designs.

Multichannel publishing

Deliver an engaging reading experience for print or screen. Export immersive SWF files for playback in the Adobe® Flash® Player runtime, interactive PDF documents complete with video and sound, or sophisticated layouts for publishing to print.

Integration with other Adobe design applications

Take advantage of tight integration with other Adobe Creative Suite® 4 components to quickly design and deliver engaging page layouts for multiple media. Use common presets and color settings and a standard user interface for a more efficient workflow.

Layout productivity tools

Quickly and precisely produce sophisticated page layouts with gorgeous designs using productivity tools that were created or enhanced based on the input of Adobe InDesign® users worldwide.

Professional typography

Create beautiful, sophisticated typography for any media with the power of text and table styles, text wrap control, the Paragraph Composer, OpenType® support, drop caps, and more.

Extensive creative tools at your fingertips

Explore creative possibilities directly in InDesign, resulting in more nuanced page layouts in less time. Powerful tools include built-in Adobe Photoshop® effects, support for Photoshop artwork in 3D, integrated drawing tools, nondestructive effects, and finer transparency controls.

Preflighting and print controls

Use a range of tools, presets, onscreen controls, JDF technology, and live preflighting to fix errors while you work, so you can speed up production, increase reliability, and deliver your document correctly for print - the first time.

Automation for long-document creation

Rapidly create complex long documents with cross-references, conditional text, automated bullets and numbering, dynamic page addition and deletion, and more, which minimize manual production, help ensure content accuracy, and enable consistent formatting.

Workflow automation

Create powerful automated workflows using standards-based XML features to automatically populate and lay out pages with text and images. Incorporate database-driven content for utmost efficiency while publishing across channels.

Extensibility

Rapidly build unique workflows and software solutions for custom publishing using InDesign Markup Language (IDML), an XML-based file format that enables developers to create or modify files using standard XML tools.

Online services

Tap into the creative community quickly, and collaborate smoothly with your customers, colleagues, and vendors. Share your screen, search for expert help, and get color inspiration through online services - accessed from within InDesign.
