coordinates) and size (height and width) for an object

This option is available as Size and Position Options in Object Style Options dialog.

The October 2017 release of InDesign CC focuses on improving the user experience with more control over commonly used features and workflows Read on for a quick introduction to these features and links to resources offering more information.

For a summary of features introduced in earlier releases of InDesign CC, see Feature summary | earlier releases

Trang 8

There are three options available for size:

• Width only

• Height only

• Height & Width

You can modify height and width based on the selection made from these options

For example, if you choose Width only then you can modify width only The option to modify height will be

Duden, a trusted German brand for dictionaries, is now integrated natively in InDesign Now, you can use Duden for more accurate German hyphenation and spell checking

For more information, see Duden dictionary

Add and share text assets using Creative Cloud Libraries

Now, you can add text objects from your InDesign documents to Creative Cloud libraries and then share them with other users and across applications Text assets in a library retain the character/paragraph styles and other attributes originally applied to them You can reuse text assets in libraries across InDesign or Illustrator documents However, if

a text object has effects and appearances applied to it, you must add it to the library as a graphics asset to preserve them For more information, see Creative Cloud libraries in InDesign

Trang 10

Support for footnote: Proper footnote tagging is now supported in tagged PDF.

Anchored text frames and anchored groups tagging: Support for anchored objects tagging, which was not available earlier, has been added Now, you get tags for anchored text frames and anchored groups in exported PDF

Master pages tagging Any page object on master page is not tagged in exported PDF and has an artifact tag in contents panel of Acrobat Overriding master page items shows the tags of page items in exported PDF

Index tagging: Earlier, you were able to create index but the index tag was not exported to PDF Now, this can be done and index tagging, which was previously role mapped to paragraph, is now mapped to index only

List tag language: Earlier, list tag language was set to English by default in the exported PDF Now, the correct list language gets exported in the tagged PDF as set by the user

List tagging: Earlier, nested list tag structure was contained in LBody of primary list which was read incorrectly Now, the correct structure of nested list tagging is implemented

Caption tagging: InDesign now supports Live Caption tagging Figure captioned with live caption gets a caption tag as

a child of figure tag

TOC: Support for TOC tagging structure is implemented, which was previously mapped to paragraph tagging Also, now it is mandatory for a TOC containing hyperlinks to have tags

HTML export improvements

Now, there is an option in the HTML export dialog which tells InDesign to not include classes in the HTML It removes the class and id attributes present in the tag during HTML Export Any redundant div tags present in the HTML are also removed to provide a clean looking HTML and remove unnecessary grouping of content

For more information, see Export content to HTML

New Document dialog for MENA versions

GPU Performance

The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), found on video cards and as part of display systems, is a specialized processor that can rapidly execute commands for manipulating and displaying images GPU-accelerated computing offers faster performance across a broad range of design, animation, and video applications This means that you get a significant performance boost: InDesign runs faster and more smoothly than ever before

• MacBook Pro Retina

• Mac Pro connected to a HiDPI monitor

• Mac mini connected to a HiDPI monitor

To check for VRAM values:

• Mac 10.9: Choose Mac > About This Mac > More Info (Graphics information).

• Mac 10.10, 10.11: Choose Mac > About This Mac (Graphics information).

To find out if your computer supports the required OpenGL version (4.0 or later), see this Apple Support document

What is the benefit of GPU for InDesign?

HiDPI monitors are becoming the standard With the high monitor resolutions, it is getting difficult for CPU to handle the rendering

Also, InDesign’s default display performance has always been set to Typical Quality Due to this you do not see the images placed in the document in their full fidelity This was done to provide you with optimum performance when you perform operations like zooming, scrolling, panning etc

This is where the GPU comes into play Rendering on high-density displays is best handled by the GPU GPU

acceleration makes the rendering of the documents faster while zooming, scrolling, and panning With the GPU

enhancements, InDesign now shows images in their fullest fidelity without compromising the performance

If your system has a compatible GPU card, InDesign renders the document using the GPU by default and sets the Display Performance to High Quality

The enhanced performance from using the GPU in InDesign powers features like Animated Zoom which make zoom actions smooth and animated Here is how it works:

Trang 26

Select the zoom tool (Z), and do one of the following:

• Press and hold down the mouse button (long press) to zoom in to the center Press Option and hold down the mouse button (long press) to zoom out

• Press and drag the pointer to the right to zoom in or to the left to zoom out

• Press Shift to switch to marquee zoom mode

Enable GPU Performance

After making sure your computer meets the System requirements for GPU Performance, follow these instructions to enable the feature in InDesign

1 In the application bar, click the GPU Performance icon to display the GPU Performance settings in the

Preferences panel

2 Select (to enable) or clear (to disable) the GPU Performance check box and click OK

Toggle between preview modes

When the GPU Performance feature is enabled, you can switch (Ctrl + E) between the GPU Preview mode and the CPU Preview mode

• To switch to GPU Preview, choose View > GPU Preview.

• To switch to CPU Preview, choose View > Preview on CPU.

You can also toggle between GPU preview mode and Overprint preview mode by using the

Command+Option+Shift+Y shortcut

GPU Performance settings

You can change GPU Performance feature settings in the Preferences panel

Trang 27

You create and manipulate your documents and files using various elements, such as panels, bars, and windows Any

As you move panels, you see blue highlighted drop zones, areas where you can move the panel For example, you can

move a panel up or down in a dock by dragging it to the narrow blue drop zone above or below another panel If you drag to an area that is not a drop zone, the panel floats freely in the workspace

Note: The position of the mouse (rather than the position of the panel), activates the drop zone, so if you can’t see the drop zone, try dragging the mouse to the place where the drop zone should be.

• To move a panel, drag it by its tab

• To move a panel group, drag the title bar

Trang 34

Narrow blue drop zone indicates Color panel will be docked on its own above the Layers panel group.

Press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) while moving a panel to prevent it from docking Press Esc while moving the panel to cancel the operation.

Add and remove panels

If you remove all panels from a dock, the dock disappears You can create a dock by moving panels to the right edge of the workspace until a drop zone appears

• To remove a panel, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac) its tab and then select Close, or deselect it from the Window menu

• To add a panel, select it from the Window menu and dock it wherever you want

Manipulate panel groups

• To move a panel into a group, drag the panel’s tab to the highlighted drop zone in the group

Adding a panel to a panel group

• To rearrange panels in a group, drag a panel’s tab to a new location in the group

• To remove a panel from a group so that it floats freely, drag the panel by its tab outside the group

• To move a group, drag the title bar (the area above the tabs)

Trang 35

Stack floating panels

When you drag a panel out of its dock but not into a drop zone, the panel floats freely The floating panel allows you to position it anywhere in the workspace You can stack floating panels or panel groups so that they move as a unit when you drag the topmost title bar

• To stack floating panels, drag a panel by its tab to the drop zone at the bottom of another panel

• To change the stacking order, drag a panel up or down by its tab

Note: Be sure to release the tab over the narrow drop zone between panels, rather than the broad drop zone in a title bar.

• To remove a panel or panel group from the stack, so that it floats by itself, drag it out by its tab or title bar

Collapse and expand panel icons

You can collapse panels to icons to reduce clutter on the workspace In some cases, panels are collapsed to icons in the default workspace

Panels collapsed to icons

Panels expanded from icons

• To collapse or expand all panel icons in a column, click the double arrow at the top of the dock

• To expand a single panel icon, click it

• To resize panel icons so that you see only the icons (and not the labels), adjust the width of the dock until the text disappears To display the icon text again, make the dock wider

• To collapse an expanded panel back to its icon, click its tab, its icon, or the double arrow in the panel’s title bar

Trang 36

If you select Auto-Collapse Icon Panels from Preferences > Interface > Panels, an expanded panel icon collapses

automatically when you click away from it.

• To add a floating panel or panel group to an icon dock, drag it in by its tab or title bar (Panels are automatically collapsed to icons when added to an icon dock.)

• To move a panel icon (or panel icon group), drag the icon You can drag panel icons up and down in the dock, into other docks (where they appear in the panel style of that dock), or outside the dock (where they appear as floating icons)
