Welcome to Adobe InDesign CS2. InDesign is a powerful design and production tool that offers precision, control, and seamless integration with other Adobe professional graphics software. Using InDesign, you can produce professional-quality, full-color documents on high-volume color printing presses, or print to a wide range of output devices and formats, including desktop printers and high-resolution imaging devices. Also, you can create PDF files, and convert your documents for use on the Internet by exporting layouts to Adobe GoLive or XML.
Writers, artists, designers, and publishers can communicate to a broader audience than ever before and through an unprecedented variety of media. InDesign supports this with its seamless integration with Creative Suite 2 applications: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Acrobat, and Adobe GoLive. The Adobe InDesign CS2 Classroom in a Book introduces and describes new features, workflows, and techniques that support this new wave of publishing.
