FEATURES
Product overview
With its sophisticated design and production controls and unmatched integration with 
other Adobe applications, Adobe InDesign CS2 software is not only a better choice for 
page layout—it’s a superior way to work. 
Put your creativity in control
Sophisticated graphics production
Adobe Photoshop® and Adobe PDF layer support
 Selectively display layers and layer comps in Photoshop files, and layers in Adobe PDF 
files, to experiment with different design options or use multiple variations of a file in 
your layout—all while linking to a single file.
Anchored Objects
 Easily anchor callouts, pull quotes, margin notes, and graphics to text. Precisely control 
the positioning of Anchored Objects, apply text wrap settings, and more.
Repeated transformations
 Automatically repeat transformations, such as scale, skew, rotate, and fit, from one 
object to another.
Pathfinder commands
• Quickly turn simple shapes into complex forms using Pathfinder commands that can 
combine, subdivide, or isolate overlapping objects.
Shape-to-shape conversion
 Use convenient buttons in the Pathfinder palette to convert an object from one shape to 
another, such as turning a rectangle into an ellipse of the same size.
Tables
• Import styled Microsoft Word and Excel tables, create tables by importing from tab-
delimited text files, or build from scratch in InDesign. Further refine your tables with 
formatting options such as color fills in alternating rows and automatic running 
headers and footers.
Stroke style editor
• Create and save striped, dotted, and dashed stroke styles and apply them to underlines 
and strikethroughs, as well as to lines and paragraph rules.
Drawing tools
• Use the convenient Pen, Pencil, Shape, Erase, Smooth, and Scissors tools to quickly 
create and edit simple graphics in your InDesign layouts.
Multiple Undo/Redo
• Experiment freely and retrace multiple steps using the Undo and Redo commands.
Text on a path
• Create graphical elements by aligning text to any path with full typographical control. 
Apply special effects to create eye-catching designs.
