Adobe InDesign

Purpose:

InDesign is a desktop publishing (DTP) software application which can be used to create periodical publications, posters, flyers, brochures, magazines and books.
The latest version, InDesign CS4 Server (codenamed Thyme), is the tenth generation in the product line.

Features:

• Tightly integrated with other Adobe suite software
• Dynamic cross-reference support that updates content when moved within a document
• Spread rotation
• Smart guides (Quickly align space, rotate, and resize single or multiple objects with the help of dynamic guides.)
• Conditional text (Deliver multiple versions of a document for different users, all from a single Adobe InDesign source file. Hide text at paragraph, word, and even character level without relying on layers. The remaining text and anchored objects automatically reflow in the layout.)
• Smart Text Reflow (Automatically add pages at the end of a story, selection, or document when text is overset using this new preference.)
• Live Preflight
