Cross-media publishing
Publish documents in print, online, or on mobile devices. Create engaging interactive documents (SWF files) for playback in Adobe Flash Player, complete with animation, sound, and video, interactive PDF documents with video or sound, or sophisticated layouts for print publishing using a versatile, intuitive toolset.

Integration with Adobe design, web, and digital-reading applications
Move projects smoothly from design to print or digital output thanks to tight integration with industry-leading Adobe solutions such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, and Flash Professional, as well as Adobe Digital Editions.

Productivity tools
Produce sophisticated page layouts using customer-inspired productivity features such as the ability to include mixed page sizes in a single file, streamlined object selection and editing, an all-new Layers panel, smart guides, rapid table creation, and multiple-file placement with fewer clicks.

Robust text composition
Create beautiful, sophisticated text for any medium with professional typography features, including styles, text wrap, the Paragraph Composer, OpenType support, and drop caps. Include headlines that span or split columns without a separate text frame.

Built-in creative tools
Explore creative possibilities directly within InDesign using integrated drawing tools, nondestructive effects, built-in Adobe Photoshop effects, finer transparency controls, and support for 3D Photoshop artwork.

Preflighting and production
Speed up production, increase reliability, and deliver error-free documents with document-installed fonts, PDF export in the background, live preflighting, JDF technology, and on-screen controls.

Automation
Create powerful automated workflows to reduce the time you spend on repetitive tasks. Standards-based XML features can automatically lay out pages with text and images. Incorporate database-driven content for greater efficiency when 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.

Collaboration in editorial workflows
Improve collaboration between design and editorial teams with tight integration between InDesign CS5 and Adobe InCopy CS5 and the ability to track text changes in InDesign.
