What’s New
•  Stretch control for brushes. Define how art and pattern brushes scale along a path. Select areas 
of the brush graphic to stretch and those to keep in proportion. For example, you can stretch the 
center of a decorative banner while preserving the proportions of the scrolling ends.
•  Brushes with corner control. Apply art and pattern brushes to a path and get clean results, even 
at tight bends or corners. Where strokes of different widths join, or form obtuse or acute angles, 
choose options to properly fill the points where the joins occur.
Simplified object selection and editing in InDesign
Aligning pictures in a grid, tweaking the white space between objects in a layout—finicky adjust-
ments like these take time. InDesign offers several elegant features for performing common 
repetitive, time-consuming layout tasks precisely and quickly. Whether you’re designing a docu-
ment that will be printed, viewed onscreen, or both, everything from aligning and distributing 
objects to adjusting corner effects is faster and easier in InDesign CS5.
•  Multiple transformations with a single tool. Use the same tool to select, align, distribute, rotate, 
resize, reposition, crop, and scale frames and frame content. InDesign CS5 dynamically switches 
to the right tool for the job, so you don’t have to keep moving back and forth between the 
toolbox and your layout. The new Content Indicator lets you quickly reposition or rotate content 
within a frame, just by clicking and dragging. A real-time crop preview helps you position the 
content precisely where you want it.
•  Gap tool. Adjust the white space between objects to dynamically reposition page items while 
maintaining spatial relationships. Shift the white space up or down, left or right, without cropping 
or resizing each object on the page. Persistent frame-fitting keeps the relationship between the 
object and its frame consistent even though the frame dimensions may change. You can even 
expand or contract the white space between adjacent objects, dynamically resizing or cropping 
the objects accordingly.
•  Live corner effects. Drag the corners of a 
frame to dynamically change their radius and 
shape directly in the layout. Modify one corner 
at a time or all four corners simultaneously.
•  Easy grid placement. Take the tedium out of 
creating a grid for placing images, as in a 
catalog or directory. Simply press arrow keys 
to add columns and rows for images or 
threaded text frames.
Click to make the corners active, and then drag the corner 
diamonds (inset) to new positions. On-object controls make it 
simple to dynamically change the look and feel of a frame as 
you design.
More timesaving features in 
Illustrator CS5
See Adobe Illustrator CS5 What’s New
 
to learn more about these and other
new features:
Perspective drawing. Draw shapes
and scenes in accurate 1-, 2-, or
3-point linear perspective.
Shape Builder tool. Intuitively
combine, edit, and fill shapes
directly on your artwork.
Drawing enhancements. Work
faster with everyday tools. Join
paths with a keystroke and draw
behind or inside an object.
Use the Gap tool to adjust multiple 
images simultaneously while maintaining 
the spacing between the images. When 
Auto-Fit is enabled, InDesign honors 
object fitting settings (such as Center in 
Frame) to maintain the relationship 
between objects and their frames as you 
adjust the gap between objects. Simply 
drag the Gap tool to adjust the cropping 
of all the abutting images. Press 
Command or Control to resize a 
gap instead of moving it.
Instead of switching from the Selection 
tool to the Direct Selection tool to 
reposition content within a frame, simply 
click the Content Indicator in the center 
of the frame, and then drag.
Before: The image in the left column needs to be wider, while preserving the gutter 
space between it and the two images on the right.
After: With Auto-Fit checked, use the Gap tool to drag the gutter space, widening 
the image on the left while automatically adjusting the cropping of the other two.
