Adobe InDesign CS4

A quick look: InDesign CS4 is a high-end page layout program ideal for creators of periodicals, posters, and other print media.

Adobe^® InDesign^® CS4 page layout software, designed as a successor to PageMaker^®, integrates smoothly with Adobe Photoshop^®, Illustrator^®, Acrobat^®, InCopy^®, and Dreamweaver^® software. InDesign CS4 software breaks down the barriers between online and offline publishing. Create compelling print materials, immersive content for playback in the Adobe Flash® Player runtime, and interactive PDF documents, all with beautiful typography and stunning design.

• Design high-quality, consistent materials
  Adobe's Live Color technology lets you immediately edit colors and see results. It's easy to experiment with effects like transparency and gradient feathers, because such effects are nondestructive. InDesign is capable of printing accurate, consistent results with sophisticated preview and export abilities. You can even create professional-looking typography with the Paragraph Composer, OpenType^® fonts, glyphs, and margin alignment.
   
• Work efficiently
  Enhanced productivity features like Quick Apply, frame fitting and the visual Pages panel increase your efficiency. Automate processes using scripts and further the program's capabilities with the ExtendScript toolkit. Advanced bullets and numbering logic offers long-document support, smart text handling can import styled text and replace fonts from Microsoft Word.
   
• Integrate with other programs
  InDesign can import documents from Microsoft Word^® or Excel^®, including tables and tab-delimited text files. Integration with a variety of other Adobe programs let you share presets and color settings, work with native file format support, and publish to multiple media. For publishing to the web, InDesign can export content as XHTML, which can be edited in Adobe Dreamweaver (also available at RoyalDiscount.com) and transformed using CSS.
