Adobe InDesign CS5.5 
What’s New
Still using InDesign CS4?
For those still using InDesign CS4, upgrading to InDesign CS5.5 also gives you the chance to catch 
up on all the great features added in InDesign CS5. These include streamlined review workflows 
and other productivity enhancements:
•  Interactive documents and presentations. Add interactivity, motion, sound, and video to 
documents and presentations, exporting directly to SWF for playback in the Adobe Flash Player 
runtime.
•  Simplified object selection and editing. Perform repetitive layout tasks efficiently using 
convenient tools and on-object controls.
•  Text-handling enhancements. Create text that spans or splits into multiple columns in just a few 
steps. Mark up text directly in InDesign, easily tracking copy revisions. Generate static or live 
captions automatically from image metadata.
•  Multiple page sizes. Create pages with different sizes in a single document.
•  All-new Layers panel. Easily manage page items with a Layers panel that is similar to the one in 
Adobe Illustrator software.
•  Production enhancements. Find and drag images into page layouts from Adobe Mini Bridge 
without leaving InDesign. Help eliminate font substitution issues with document-installed fonts. 
Export PDF documents in the background. 
•  Access to Adobe CS Review.

Still using InDesign CS3?
Upgrading from InDesign CS3 to InDesign CS5.5 also adds all the new features introduced in 
InDesign CS4. These include timesaving enhancements to the user interface and long-document 
publishing features, in addition to interactivity features, as well as the following:
•  Live Preflight. Preflight while you design. Continuous preflighting alerts you to potential 
production problems in real time so you can quickly navigate to a problem, fix it directly in 
layout, and keep working. 
•  Customizable Links panel. Find, sort, and manage all of your document’s placed files in the 
customizable Links panel. View attributes that are most critical to your workflow, such as scale, 
rotation, and resolution.
•  Conditional text. Deliver multiple versions of a document for different users, all from a single 
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.
•  Cross-references. Simplify the writing, production, and management of long documents with 
flexible and powerful cross-references that dynamically update as content is changed or moved 
within a document.
•  Smart Guides. Quickly align, space, rotate, and resize single or multiple objects with the help of 
dynamic guides. The guides, object dimensions, rotation angles, and X and Y coordinates appear 
dynamically so you can quickly snap an object’s edge or its vertical or horizontal center to 
another object or page edge in the layout.
