Adobe InDesign
Cross media resources
Need to repurpose your layouts for use on the Web or mobile devices? Adobe® InDesign® CS software features built-in support for importing and exporting XML.Now you can produce a layout in InDesign, tag the content, and export an XML file for integration into different publishing workflows.
With InDesign software, for example, you can quickly create multiple print layouts by importing an XML file into tagged InDesign templates. Or, dynamically generate a Web page by combining the XML file with an Adobe GoLive® CS template.
Apply XML tags to InDesign content to create structured documents. Then export XML files and easily redeploy them on the Web and in other media, using tools like Adobe GoLive.
