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.

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. Apply editable drop shadows, feathering, and other transparency effects. Maintain soft edges when placing transparent Photoshop files.

Unlock the full potential of OpenType fonts with support for multilingual and alternate glyphs including old-style numbers, fractions, ligatures, and swashes. 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. Import XML files with greater control, including linking to XML content for easier updating. Also apply XML tags to tables, and then import XML content into and export it from those tables.
