When Adobe first introduced InDesign a few
short years ago, analysts and professional
designers expressed skepticism that the software
would make any significant inroads into a market
that had long been ruled by a few
well-entrenched and respected programs. With
Adobe InDesign CS2 for the Macintosh, the
writing is now clearly on the wall. What was
thought to be a pipe dream just
yesterday--Adobe InDesign being considered as
the standard software package for professional
publishers and designers--is today on the verge
of becoming a reality. Book, magazine and
high-end publishers and designers of all types
are making the switch to Adobe InDesign. A
glance at the new features that InDesign CS2

3. brings to the table makes it easy to see why.
Browse, search, organize, label, and preview
graphics and InDesign documents, templates,
and snippets in Adobe Bridge. Drag and drop
assets from Adobe Bridge into layouts easily and
efficiently. Tighter Integration with Adobe
Applications Adobe has practically cornered the
market with PhotoShop, Illustrator and Acrobat.
With each of its past upgrades, Adobe made it
increasingly easier to incorporate those and
other Adobe applications--such as GoLive and
InCopy--into InDesign workflow. InDesign CS2
continues that trend, and then some. Adobe
Photoshop and PDF layer support, for instance,
allows you to selectively display layers and layer
comps in Photoshop and PDF files so that you can
experiment with different design options or use
multiple variations of a file in your layout--all the
while linking to a single file. And a streamlined
interface that's more consistent across Adobe
graphics applications allows you to export
directly to PDF while maintaining layers in
exported Acrobat 6.0-7.0 files. These features
can significantly shorten production cycles of
projects and introduce greater flexibility to your
designs during the work flow. Adobe Bridge

4. Adobe Bridge software is the new navigational
control center that allows you to browse,
organize, label, and preview graphics and
InDesign documents and templates quickly and
efficiently. (Adobe Bridge is also available
separately in Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, and
GoLive CS2 software.) Adobe Bridge is based on
the File Browser introduced in Photoshop 7.0 but
goes a step further by providing centralized
access to your suite project files, applications,
and settings. With file organization and sharing,
plus Adobe Stock Photos at your fingertips all the
time, you simply search for the files you want to
place using metadata--such as key words, colors
or image resolution--and seamlessly drag and
drop your files into your InDesign CS2 file. You
can even browse and search royalty-free images
from leading stock photo agencies using Adobe
Stock Photos in one convenient location. Adobe
couldn't make it any easier. Without ever leaving
InDesign CS2, you can purchase images from
several agencies in a single shopping cart and
manage all of your imagery. It's as simple as that.
Easily export InDesign objects as snippets, which
can be shared with colleagues or reused in other
documents. When you place or drag a snippet

5. into a layout, InDesign re-creates the original
objects, their formatting, and their relative
positioning on the page. InDesign Snippets and
Collaboration Features Some of the most
significant enhancements are InDesign CS2's
collaboration features. The Snippet feature
allows you to export InDesign objects as
"snippets" that can be shared with colleagues for
review or used in other documents. When you
place or drag the snippet back into a layout,
InDesign CS2 re-creates the original object, its
formatting, and its relative positioning on the
page. InDesign CS2 also features a collaboration
tool that lets you to assign specific sections of a
document to your colleagues while you continue
to work on your own components. Taken together,
these features add tremendous efficiencies to
your workflow, giving you the ability to work
simultaneously with several colleagues and
making it much easier to beat your deadlines.
Improved Microsoft Word and RTF Support Adobe
has done wonders to increase InDesign's
compatibility with Microsoft Word. With InDesign
CS2 you can import Word styles into your
document, and you can even save Word import
settings for future use. You can also import

6. tables designed in Word and Excel, or create new
tables from tab-delimited files generated by
Excel. PageMaker Conversion Features Adobe has
made it nearly impossible for PageMaker users
not to switch to Adobe InDesign CS2. For starters,
Adobe has crammed InDesign CS2 with built-in
support for numerous features that PageMaker
users most desire, such as multiple undo, robust
style support, flexible gradients, and easy table
creation. Added to that is additional support for
converting PageMaker 6.0-7.x files, a set of
PageMaker compatible keyboard shortcuts, and
such popular PageMaker features as data merge
and InBooklet Special Edition for imposition. And
if all that were not already enough to convince
you to switch, Adobe now offers Adobe InDesign
CS2 Upgrade from PageMaker for the Macintosh
at an exclusive upgrade price for licensed
PageMaker users. In short, if you're a die-hard
PageMaker aficionado, there had never been
better time to make the switch to InDesign. Read
