Ars Technica
"With little extra work, you can turn print-ready layouts into EPUB books, Web content, and PDFs, making InDesign CS5.5 quite a little workhorse."
Dave Girard, Ars Technica, June 2011

"If you're still stuck on CS3 or CS4, it's time to upgrade! CS3 was a ground breaking application. CS4 extended InDesign's increasingly powerful feature set. CS5 and CS5.5 take the application where you want it to go."
Bill Blinn, TechByter Worldwide, June 2011

"InDesign CS5 is an impressive upgrade to an already mature program. Several of the new features will make print publishers happy, and the new web features make it a solid choice for creating dynamic online publications."

"I was impressed and suspect that anyone running InDesign CS4 will like and want to make the upgrade. Absolutely worth the money – tons of improvements and yet the cost to upgrade is minor."

Customer testimonials
"With Adobe InDesign CS4, exporting our layouts from InDesign CS4 to Adobe Flash CS4 Professional is the feature we've been waiting for. Instead of exporting layouts as JPEGs, which currently requires overlaying our animation on top of static pages, our InDesign content can now be modified and animated directly in Flash. This allows us to take advantage of the typography and layout features we love in InDesign and dramatically increases our dynamic media workflow efficiency."
—Eduardo Danilo Ruiz, president and CEO, Danilo Black, Inc.
"If we had to pick one favorite new feature in Adobe InDesign CS4, it's the Links panel. We are constantly producing complex documents with lots of linked content. Being able to see all our link details in a single, customizable panel with corresponding thumbnail images — which eliminates file name guessing — is an incredible time-saver and crucial to our ability to successfully manage so much linked content."
—Stefano Colombo, creative director/head of art, Publicis
"I love the fact that Smart Guides are available across Illustrator CS4, InDesign CS4, and Photoshop CS4. I can quickly align, space, rotate, and resize multiple objects. It's one more great way to find more time in my design day."
—Marta Cerda, graphic designer, Vasava
