Object styles

Apply and globally update object-level formatting more efficiently using object styles. Save a wide range of graphic, text, and frame-level attributes as object styles to create more consistent designs and speed up production tasks.

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.

InDesign snippets

Easily export InDesign objects as snippets, which can be shared with colleagues or reused in other documents. When you place or drag a snippet into a layout, InDesign re-creates the original objects, their formatting, and their relative positioning on the page.

Adobe InCopy CS2 assignments

Assign only the elements of a document that an editor using Adobe InCopy® CS2 software needs to work on while you’re designing the rest — whether that’s specific frames on a page, frames on one or more spreads, or all the frames in a document.

Save backwards to InDesign CS

Export your InDesign CS2 document to the InDesign Interchange (INX) format and open it in InDesign CS for sharing with people still working in the previous version.
