Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium 

What’s New

Catching and keeping people’s interest online gets more challenging every day. Now you can add 
attention-grabbing interactivity, animation, video, and sound to your digital documents and 
presentations—and you can do this all in InDesign without learning new software.

InDesign CS5 includes support for FLV video and MP3 audio files, as well as dozens of motion 
presets that make it easy to create animations. Export a document or presentation from InDesign 
to SWF format for playback in Adobe Flash Player or a web browser. Or export a document as an 
interactive PDF file, complete with video and sound. Five new panels provide intuitive controls that 
enable you to create a wealth of dazzling effects.

•  Animation panel. Animate objects in InDesign using the same motion presets included in Flash 

Professional CS5. Simply select an object, choose a triggering event such as on page load, click, 
or rollover, and then select from presets ranging from fade in and fly out to bounce, dance, gallop, 
and pulse. Easily specify the duration, speed, rotation, scale, and opacity of animations. Quickly 
edit an animation’s motion path using the Pen tool, and convert a line drawing—even one you 
import from Illustrator—into a custom motion path with the click of a button.

•  Object States panel. Create multi-state objects that have different appearances depending on a 

viewer’s actions. An object state can be an image, text frame, or any other object or group to be 
displayed when the viewer clicks or rolls over an interactive button in a SWF or interactive PDF file.

•  Timing panel. Control when objects such as bullet points in a presentation or images on a page 

animate. Animation can occur when the page loads, or only after you click the page. Loop the 
animation or play it a specific number of times. Link objects to ani-
mate simultaneously, with the same or different durations.

•  Preview panel. Check animations, buttons, and other interactive 

elements directly in InDesign. Preview a selection, a page or 
spread, or the entire document before you export it to SWF format.

Drag and drop states to control the 
sequence in which they appear.

Open the Preview panel (above) to view, refine, and troubleshoot your animation before exporting a final SWF file. (Note the animated clouds above the skyline.) 
Use the Timing panel (above right) to control when animations begin to play and how many times they repeat.

As eBook technology continues to
evolve, designers are looking for

ways to deliver high-quality content
in the latest formats for the latest

devices. Create compelling eBooks

with enhanced support for the EPUB
file format. Author eBooks that can
be read on a variety of devices such
as the Apple iPad, Sony Reader,
Barnes & Noble nook, mobile phones,

or personal computers using Micro-

soft® Windows® or Mac OS. Include

interactivity, animation, sound, and

video to bring eBooks to life when
read on a personal computer using

Adobe Digital Editions, a desktop

reading application. Enhanced export

features include the ability to control

content reading order based on docu-

ment structure, support for prebuilt
CSS to provide consistent styling,
support for chapter breaks, improved
table formatting, and font subsetting.

In addition to controlling duration, speed, and other animation 
settings, you can preview motion presets in the Animation 
panel (left). When you select a preset, it’s applied to the 
butterfly so you can see the effect.
