Trang 9One is reworking the selection and object-manipulation tools to make them more straightforward
to use while also more flexible and powerful Such changes are felt in many places, from the Layers and Links panels to the basic Selection and Direct Selection tools, as well as in the controls over frame fitting, object styles, step-and-repeat, page controls, and in the new multiple-page-size, text column-spanning, and Gap tool features
The other major change is moving InDesign further into the realm of nonprint publishing, in this edition through the addition of major new animation capabilities that let you create interactive Adobe SWF files from InDesign Plus there are a raft of improvements relating to hyperlinks, inter-active buttons, use of media files such as video and sounds, and PDF file creation
If you don’t work on nonprint documents, I think you’ll find the selection and object-manipulation changes more than sufficient reason to move to InDesign CS5 But I also urge you to become famil-iar with the creation of nonprint documents — in this electronic world, information will be pub-lished in all sorts of ways, and sticking with just one medium is a path to obsolescence That’s why this book gives more weight to nonprint document tools than past editions have, and why InDesign’s designers are steadily adding such capabilities Use them
These two major movements (improving object manipulation and delving further into the nonprint publishing) have led to dozens of functionality additions and capability improvements (check out Appendix B for the whole list) that are well designed and manage not to get in the way of all the other features you know and love — a real challenge for a program as complex and feature-rich as InDesign
But of course, there are lots of other refinements in InDesign CS5 that Adobe’s engineers and designers were able to add in beyond the major new areas of improvement For example, Windows 7 users will now find that InDesign supports the gestures enabled by the new genera-tion of touchscreen PCs (Mac users got this capability in InDesign CS4) InDesign users can now work with tracked changes in their layouts, no longer seeing this ability limited to InCopy users
And plug-ins, renamed extensions, are now managed across all Creative Suite applications with a common tool, the Extension Manager These three examples show the range of areas where Adobe has made improvements
Layout artists have an incredibly powerful tool in the form of InDesign to let them deliver on their creative aspirations and vision I hope that this book helps you achieve and indeed increase those ambitions

Trang 39through the publishing process, showing you how to make Adobe’s InDesign CS5 work for you
InDesign lets you take advantage of modern electronic publishing’s full range of possibilities Not only can you produce high-quality, lively flyers, newsletters, magazines, and similar publications
in InDesign, you can also create rich, colorful documents that can be viewed on the Web, uted by CD, or sent directly to a printing press for faithful print reproduction And you can create interactive documents, where the content changes based on what users click
distrib-In a nutshell, distrib-InDesign is meant to help those who educate, inform, and document today’s world
Join me in learning how to use this powerful program
What This Book Offers
So, because InDesign comes with good documentation that is full of examples, why do you need this book? To see the bigger picture
Publishing design involves much more than understanding a particular program’s tools; it involves knowing when, how, and, most importantly, why to use them In this book, I help you realize the potential of InDesign by applying its tools to real-world publishing design needs I also identify any weaknesses and explain how to overcome them — something that vendor manuals rarely do
Some desktop publishers have years of high-end creative, design-intensive experience Others are just getting started in publishing, perhaps by producing simple newsletters or flyers to advertise a community event Not a few are exploring the brave new world of Web publishing
Desktop publishers fall into several classes:
l Designers new to InDesign but familiar with other desktop publishing software
l Designers familiar with print publishing but new to electronic publishing
l Experienced designers new to desktop technologies
l Novice designers new to desktop technologies
Trang 40No matter which class you’re in, this book addresses your needs You don’t need a degree in design
or 10 years’ experience producing national ad campaigns — you can use this book if you’re responsible for developing and implementing the look of any document, whether it’s a four-page company newsletter or a four-color billboard ad The basic techniques and issues are the same for both ends of the spectrum
And of course, this book covers in detail the specialized needs — table creation, image control, color output, and electronic publishing for example — of specialty designers (If you’re just learn-ing such advanced techniques, be sure to read the sidebars that explain the underlying issues.) Regardless of your level of experience with desktop publishing, this book can help you use InDesign efficiently, and guide you to discovering more of the program’s potential
What distinguishes this book from the rest of its type is that it does not attempt to be a substitute
for the documentation that accompanies InDesign Instead, it guides you through the process of
publishing a document, regardless of whether that document is your first or your thousandth
How to Read This Book
Adobe InDesign CS5 Bible is made up of 37 chapters and two appendixes divided into 10 parts If
you’re a novice InDesign user but familiar with desktop publishing, I suggest you read the book in order, because the process of page design is presented in the typical publishing workflow
You first learn how (and why) to create basic pages, containers, placeholders, and templates; then you learn how to work with specific elements (such as text and graphics); next, you learn how to use special effects and deal with prepress issues (such as output control, image manipulation, trap-ping, and printing); and finally you learn how to use InDesign’s nonprint capabilities such as hyperlinks, button-based actions, page transitions, media-file playback, and animation creation for use in exported Web pages, e-books, interactive PDF files, and interactive Flash presentations
If you’re experienced with print publishing but new to the new forms of electronic publishing, be sure to spend some time with Part VIII, Multimedia Fundamentals, which teaches you how to cre-ate Web, PDF, e-book, and Flash files, and what InDesign capabilities work in each type of elec-tronic document
Whether you’re reading the book sequentially or nonsequentially, you’ll find the many references helpful Publication design is ultimately successful because the result is more than the sum of its parts, and the tools used to create and implement your designs cannot be used in isolation Because this is true, having one correct order or grouping of content is impossible The cross-references let you know where to get additional information when what you’re seeking to understand or learn doesn’t fit the way I’ve organized this book
cross-Following is a brief description of the parts in Adobe InDesign CS5 Bible.
