“The advances and features central to InDesign CS4 enable customers to produce inventive and high-impact layouts for online and offline publishing,” said David Burkett, vice president of Creative Solutions at Adobe. “As a result, InDesign CS4 allows publishers, design agencies and other organizations to remain competitive through design, enable business growth and attract new audiences through multi-channel publishing, all while streamlining costs as a result of productivity gains.”

Increase Productivity with Fluid Workflows
Adobe InDesign CS4 introduces new features that enable smoother workflows, productive collaboration, and reliable delivery of interactive documents for online or offline publishing. The new Live Preflight feature highlights potential production problems in real-time from within the layout and directs users to the problem area to resolve the issue, saving time and lowering production costs. A customizable Links panel enables users to find, sort, and manage placed files in a document, view attributes such as scale, resolution and rotation - and identify files faster using thumbnails.

Create Rich Interactive Documents
With this release, designers can combine the page layout strength of InDesign with the interactive authoring power of Adobe Flash CS4 Professional to create rich, dynamic documents. Designers can export an InDesign document as an XFL file and then open it in Adobe Flash CS4 Professional to add sophisticated interactivity, animation, and navigation for a more engaging online reading experience. Or, designers can create interactive brochures, dynamic presentations, and other online materials by adding page transitions, interactive buttons, and hyperlinks to documents and then exporting them as SWF files - for playback by the Adobe Flash Player - or interactive PDF files.
