Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard 

What’s New

As eBook reading devices grow ever more sophisticated, InDesign lets designers keep pace. Create 
visually compelling eBooks that take advantage of advanced capabilities in devices such as the 
Apple iPad, Sony Reader, and Barnes & Noble nook.*

•  Transform the eBook reading experience with compelling video and audio—whether it’s a

soundtrack in a children’s book, a virtual-walkthrough video in a travel guide, or contemporary 
news footage in a history book. In InDesign CS5.5, add video and audio for eBook reader 
applications that support HTML5 video and audio tags.

•  Deliver eBooks with images that resize automatically to look crisp on a wide variety of screens.

Set conversion options for the entire document or individual images when you export to EPUB 
format. You can also rasterize InDesign shapes, text frames, placed graphics, and groups created 
in InDesign so that they export as dynamically resizing images.

•  Save time and improve consistency by using styles to automate text formatting. Now you can

map paragraph and character styles directly to HTML, EPUB, and PDF tags to help ensure that 
styles you define in InDesign are correctly exported to the appropriate specifications. Drop caps, 
bulleted and numbered lists, and tables are handled automatically, and other text formatting
appears as desired in exported documents. For more advanced workflows, you can add CSS class 
names and enter your own tags.

In InDesign, you can map styles to HTML, 
EPUB, or PDF tags in the Export Tagging 
pane of the Paragraph Style Options and 
Character Style Options dialog boxes. 

Though the tags don't affect the appearance 

of the layout in InDesign (below right, in 
color), they're mapped to the correct 
specifications when you export HTML, 

EPUB, or PDF documents for display in 

Adobe Digital Editions (below right, in black 

and white).

To make images resize automatically 

to fit difference device screens, use the 

Object Export Options dialog box in 

InDesign. Select Custom Conversion, 

and then choose Relative To Page 

Width from the Size menu. (If you 

don’t want the image to resize, choose 

Fixed from the Size menu instead.) The 
image size automatically adjusts to the 

page width in different layouts (right), 

displayed here on two different 

devices in Adobe Digital Editions—

digital reading software from Adobe.
