    "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."

    Ars Technica, Dave Girard, June 2, 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."

    TechByter Worldwide, Dave Girard, June 13, 2011

    "For those still using older versions of the software, upgrading can prove easier thanks to the new subscription model."

    Renderosity, Sergio Rosa, May 30, 2011

  • The Seybold Report

    The Seybold Report

    "Overall, CS5.5 is a solid and useful software suite. For access to the ebook production and EPUB support features alone, it is worth the upgrade."

    The Seybold Report, Staff, May 9, 2011

    "Our reviewers found the new functionality in these modules useful enough to warrant the upgrade costs of time and money."

    The Seybold Report, Staff, May 9, 2011

    "Whether it’s creating magazines for the iPad, authoring eBooks in InDesign, or simply creating more feature-rich PDFs, Adobe has done a nice job of making it easier to create and integrate dynamic content into your publication anddeliver it however you want to."

    AppleTell, Kirk Hiner, May 16, 2011

    "If you've been holding out on upgrading to CS4, this is the product you were waiting for. With one investment, you can increase the productivity of your shop by leaps and bounds."

    Printing News, Toni McQuilken, 6/14/2010

  • Newspapers & Technology

    "Production teams, especially those that are still crawling along on CS4 or lower, will find the new suite admirably sweet."

    Karyn Sader, Newspapers & Technology, 5/01/2010

    "So. Is it worth it? Yes, but not because of the new features. Yes, for the added performance and speed. I've been using this in a production environment for a couple of months now, and my workflows have become shorter and more efficient; it is much easier to work between applications and without pauses."

    Patric King, PRINT, 4/12/2010
