Chapter 2: Adobe InDesign CS5/CS5.5
For most designers and service providers, InDesign is the cornerstone of
Adobe Creative Suite 5/5.5 Design Premium and Standard. The
advanced layout and output capabilities in InDesign expand creative
freedom and streamline production workflows.
InDesign CS5/5.5 includes many new features to enhance productivity,
both for designers and print service providers. Such new features
include:
•Multiple Page Sizes: Using the new Page tool ( ), select a master
page or document page and changed its dimensions using the Width
and Height elds in the Control panel. Now, gatefolds and standard
pages can be built into the same document. When the document is
exported to PDF, each page retains its unique dimensions. While this
provides great exibility to document designers, it may require special
handling in export and imposition to ensure correct pagination.
Multiple Page Sizes
Gatefolds and standard pages can be built into the same document by using the
new Page tool.
•Easier Object Transforms: You can now rotate selected objects with
the Selection tool, without having to switch to the dedicated Rotate or
Scale tools. Move the cursor just a bit outside the corner of an object
or group and, when the cursor becomes a curved arrow, rotate the
object. e current angle is displayed in a gray ag as you rotate.
•Manipulate Multiple Objects: Scale and rotate multiple objects
without having to group them, by using the bounding box of selected
objects.
•Live Corner Eects: Click the small yellow square near the upper right
corner of a selected rectangle, and yellow diamond-shaped controls
appear on each corner, enabling you to apply corner eects. Eects
include rounded, bevel, inset, and fancy corners. Hold down Shi to
manipulate just one corner. Hold down Alt (PC) or Option (Mac) to
cycle through available corner eects. Hold down Shi and Alt/Option
to cycle through corner eects on just one corner. You can also use
the controls in the Corner Options dialog (Object > Corner Options) to
control individual corners numerically.
