Use the new Articles panel in InDesign CS6 to provide an improved reading experience in accessible PDFs. Choose and organize your content by dragging images, text frames, and other content into the new Articles panel to define the order in which they'll export. You can control the sequence of text, images, and graphics in the exported document, ensuring it is optimized for accessibility.
Articles provide designers and production artists an easy way to create
relationships among
page items. These relationships define the content to be
used while exporting to ePub, HTML or
Accessible PDFs; and to define the
order of the content.
You can create articles from a combination of existing page items within a
layout, including
images, graphics, or text. Once an article has been
created, page items can be added, removed,
or re-ordered. While articles can
be created manually by dragging one or more page items to
an article in the
Article panel, there are also mechanisms for adding bulk content to an
article,
including adding all selected content to an article, or adding an
entire document to an article.
The Articles panel is designed to be simpler and easier to use for people
without XML skills.
However, the ability to use the XML Structure panel has
NOT been removed, but is now an additional
option that complements the use
of the Articles panel during the export process.
