Create compelling print content, interactive PDFs, and immersive publications for viewing with Adobe Flash Player - all with beautiful typography and stunning page design. Adobe InDesign CS4 software, available for both Mac and Windows, breaks down the barriers between online and offline publishing. With powerful new features and streamlined workflows, you can now deliver sophisticated and engaging layouts as easily onscreen as in print. Create persuasive personalized content and tailored long documents using fewer steps and taking advantage of new enhancements - inspired by customers - that provide fluid and efficient workflows. Tight integration with other Adobe Creative Suite 4 components includes new cross-product support; you can now, for just one example, open InDesign layouts directly in Adobe Flash CS4 Professional software with page design and typography preserved. Use InDesign CS4 as your layout tool of choice to deliver dynamic, interactive content across media.
Create high-impact documents tailored for distinct audiences in less time thanks to new features such as conditional text, which makes it simpler to publish unique versions of a single source document. For example, create a book with student and teacher editions or in multiple languages. And work faster with dynamically updated cross-references, improved variable-data publishing, and automatic page addition and deletion.
