Adobe Indesign CS 5.5 Reviewers Guide

Adobe InDesign CS5.5 Reviewer’s Guide

Create dynamic, accessible documents that deliver revolutionary reading experiences on the web, e-readers, tablets, and desktops. Take advantage of productivity enhancements in Adobe InDesign CS5.5 software, whether you’re designing for print, mobile devices, online publication—or all of the above.

With InDesign CS5.5, your documents can reach and engage audiences in new and exciting ways. The new Folio Producer tools let you create interactive content in InDesign for publication to tablet devices with the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite hosted solution.* EPUB export† enhancements help you create stunning eBooks more effectively—and more efficiently—than ever before. It’s also easier to create Adobe PDF documents that are accessible to people with disabilities. And no matter how your designs will be viewed, InDesign CS5.5 includes timesaving features that can make page layout faster and easier.

Develop stronger, more compelling messages with rich interactive documents for viewing on a tablet, smartphone, or computer. With InDesign CS5.5, you can create an attractive eBook, with greater control of content and typography. New productivity features—including linked stories and the Articles panel—help make page layout simpler and smoother. For example, if you’ve ever wrestled with anchored objects, you’ll appreciate the simplified process for that common layout task.

This Reviewer’s Guide provides a hands-on tour of the most important and powerful new features in Adobe InDesign CS5.5. Here is an overview:

Folio Producer toolsPart 1: Create interactive overlays—Use the Folio Producer tools to add interactive overlays to your page layouts, including 360-degree views of objects, panoramas, slide shows, HTML content pulled from websites, and scroll-and-pan image windows. Interactive overlays are supported only in the .folio format used by Adobe Digital Publishing Suite.* (Page 3)

Part 2: Save a .folio file—Use the Folio Builder panel to create a new .folio file for use with Digital Publishing Suite.* (Page 7)

Part 3: Preview a .folio file—See how your interactive overlays and the entire publication will appear on tablets with Content Viewer for Desktop. (Page 9)

Layout and EPUB featuresPart 4: Set images to resize automatically in eBooks—Maintain the image’s relationship to the page width on virtually any screen size. You can control other ways an image displays in eBooks, too. (Page 11)

Part 5: Link stories—If you’re using the same text in multiple places in a document, link the stories so you can update them all at once, reducing editing time and increasing consistency. (Page 12)

Part 6: Map styles to tags†—Ensure eBook readers and web browsers display text as you intend in exported EPUB and HTML files by mapping paragraph and character styles to the appropriate tags. You can also map paragraph styles to PDF tags to communicate your intent for accessible PDF files. (Page 14)

Part 7: Embed video and audio†—Add another dimension to eBooks with embedded video and audio, which can be played in eBook reader applications that support HTML5 and EPUB 3 standards, such as Apple iBooks. (Page 15)

Part 8: Drag and drop anchored objects—Quickly anchor objects so that they reflow with the related text. The new drag-and-drop process makes anchoring objects much simpler than before. (Page 16)

Part 9: Organize content using the Articles panel—Decide which page items to include and what order they should appear in when you export eBooks, HTML files, or accessible PDF files. You can arrange stories, graphics, and images in the new Articles panel. (Page 17)

Part 10: Export an EPUB document—Take advantage of all the enhancements in EPUB export, from the ability to keep footnotes near related text to support for headers and footers in tables. You have much greater control over the look and feel of your eBooks with the new EPUB export options. (Page 19)

Accessible PDFPart 11: Include alternate (alt) text—Alt text is used by screen readers to describe images for people with disabilities. Now you can include alt text in PDF documents you export from InDesign much more efficiently. (Page 21)

Part 12: Organize content for the PDF file—The Articles panel and the ability to map styles to tags aren’t just for eBook creation. They help you make your PDF files more accessible, too. (Page 22)

5. Click New at the bottom of the Folio Builder panel.

6. In the New Folio dialog box, name the folio Local.

The folio size defaults to the resolution for an iPad (1024 x 768). You’re creating a magazine for an iPad, so that setting is fine. If you were creating a publication for different device, you’d need to design the document for that device resolution, and select the appropriate resolution here.

SECONDPROJECT:PrepareandexportanEPUB(eBook)fileInDesign CS5.5 introduces several new features to help you lay out pages more efficiently, especially when you’re designing them for print and digital publication. In this project, you’ll explore many of the improvements that make it easy to prepare documents for EPUB and HTML export. As you’ll see, you have greater control over which content is exported, and in which order. You can export better typography, and determine how images are displayed. You’ll also have the opportunity to try out general productivity enhancements, including the ability to link stories and to more easily anchor objects to text.

Part 4: Set images to resize automatically in eBooksGone are the days when everyone viewed digital documents on standard monitors. In InDesign CS5.5, you can export eBook publications with images that resize with the rest of the page. The Relative To Page setting recognizes the width of the image in relation to the width of the page in InDesign. When readers view the eBooks you export with this setting, the images appear at the appropriate size, whether they’re viewing the eBook on a tablet, a smartphone, or a desktop e-reader such as Adobe Digital Editions. If you don’t want images to resize, you can specify that they remain at a fixed size.

InDesign CS5.5 gives you control over more than just the way the images resize. You can specify theimageformat,itsresolution,theimagequality,andmore.Youcanselectresizingandotheroptions for individual images, and you can set a default for all images in the document when you export the EPUB file.

Try it: Set image options1. ClickthedocumenttabforMy_Local_eBook.inddtobringittothefront,andgotopage4.

2. With the Selection tool, select the image of people walking over a bridge.

3. ChooseObject>ObjectExportOptions.

7. Click Done.

The image you selected will be exported as a 150-dpi PNG image. It will resize to fit the reader’s screen in an exported HTML file or eBook, regardless of the settings you select for images in general when you export the document. Settings for individual images override settings for the entire document.

8. ChooseFile>Export.

9. In the Export dialog box, choose HTML for the format, and then click Save.

11.ScrollthroughtheHTMLfileuntilyouseetheimageyouwereworkingwith.

12. Resize the browser window. The image grows and shrinks, relative to the page width, as you change the page size.

13. Close the browser.

Part 5: Link storiesWhen the same text appears multiple times in a document—whether it’s a block of copyright text, photo credits, or repeated stories, keeping that text consistent can be challenging. Now you can link copies of stories using the same familiar Links panel you use to link to external content. When you edit the text in the original (parent) story, you need only update the link to apply the same


edits to the copied (child) story in your document. In this project, you’ll link text for an EPUB document, but this feature is a time-saver no matter how you output your publication.

Try it: Link stories1. Go to page 2.

2. Select the text frame that contains the copyright language. This is the original text that will become the parent story.

You can select text to link by selecting a text frame or by clicking an insertion point in the text. The entire story is linked.

3. ChooseEdit>PlaceAndLinkStory.

InDesign loads the cursor with the copied story.

4. Go to page 15, and drag a text frame in the lower-right corner of the page. The copied text becomes a linked child story.

There’s a missing word in both copies of the text. You can correct the text in the parent story and update the link to correct the child story.

5. ChooseWindow>Links.

The child story is in the Links panel.

6. SelectthelinkintheLinkspanel,andclicktheEditOriginalicon . InDesign returns you to page 2, with the original story active.

7. Addtheword“this”beforetheword“document,”sothatthetextreads“Nopartofthisdocument.”

You’ve changed the original text. In the Links panel, an alert appears next to the copied story.

8. In the Links panel, select the link to the child frame, and then click the Update Link button.Whentheoriginalstoryhasbeenmodified, an alert appears next to the linked story in the Links panel, and the story’s status is set to Modified.ClicktheUpdateLinkbuttontoupdatethelinkedstorywiththemodificationsmade to the original.

As you place a linked story, InDesign displays a loaded cursor, just as when you place any other text item.

Oncethestoryisinplace,abadge appears, indicating it is a child story, linked to a parent story. The badge appears only if Show Frame Edges is selected.


9. Go to page 15. The text you added on page 2 is included in the story on page 15 because you updated the link.

You can create multiple links from the same story in a document. However, you can only apply changes made to a parent story to its children; changes made to a child story can’t be applied to the parent story or to other child stories.

If you want to unlink a story, select the link in the Links panel, and then choose Unlink from the Links panel menu. The child story becomes a regular, unlinked story.

Part 6: Map styles to tagsIn the past, when you exported a document to EPUB, HTML, or PDF, InDesign exported all block- leveltexttoa<p>(paragraph)tagandusedCSS(cascadingstylesheets)tocreatethevisualpresentation. However, third-party applications could not infer the organization from the tags, so accessibility readers, for example, were unable to read heading text as different from body text. EPUB readers that didn’t support CSS presented all the information as generic paragraphs, relying onlyonthe<p>tags.Ifyouwantedtomakeyourexporteddocumentmoreuseful,youhadtousepost-processingscripts,editthecodebyhand,orusetheStructurePane>MapStylesToTagsfeatures in InDesign.

Exporting appropriately tagged text just got easier. New in InDesign CS5.5, you can map styles to tags for EPUB, HTML, and PDF within the Paragraph Style and Character Style dialog boxes. Styles remain mapped to the tags you specify as you continue to edit and refine the document, ready for InDesign to apply them accurately when you export your file.

Try it: Map styles to EPUB tags1. ChooseWindow>Styles>ParagraphStylestoopentheParagraphStylesdialogbox.

2. Make sure nothing is selected in the document. Then, double-click the Header style name to opentheParagraphStyleOptionsdialogbox.

3. SelectExportTaggingfromthelistontheleft.

4. In the EPUB And HTML area of the dialog box, choose h1 from the Tag menu.

You can select one of the standard default tags (body, h1-h6) or type your own tag. You can also enter a CSS class, if you’ve defined classes you want to use in the document.

5. For Class, type my_head1.Themy_head1classisdefinedintheCSSfilethatwillaccompanythis document.

In addition to mapping paragraph styles, you can map character styles to tags for EPUB or HTML.

7. ChooseWindow>Styles>CharacterStylestoopentheCharacterStylespanel,ifit’snotalready open.

8. In the Character Styles panel, double-click the Directory Subheads style.

9. IntheCharacterStyleOptionsdialogbox,selectExportTaggingfromthelistontheleft.

10.ChooseStrongfromtheTagmenu,andthenclickOKtoapplyit.

You’ve made changes to the way text will appear in the EPUB document you export, but you won’t see any changes in the InDesign layout. Mapped styles affect only exported files.

Part 7: Embed video and audio†

You probably already know that you can embed video and audio into InDesign. Now, MP4 video (h.264) and MP3 audio plays in eBooks you export, when you play them in an application that supportsHTML5<video>and<audio>tags.Currently,onlytheAppleiBooksapplicationplaysvideos in exported EPUB documents.

Try it: Embed video and audio1. Go to page 7. You’ll add a video to the page, where the blue frame serves as a placeholder.

Character style options are similar to those in the Paragraph StylesOptionsdialogbox,exceptthat you can’t map character styles to PDF tags because PDFs don’t use character-level tags. The tags available for character styles (strong, for example) are different from those available for paragraph styles (such as h1) because paragraph-level formatting is different from character-level formatting in EPUBandHTMLfiles.

9. Choose From Current Frame from the Poster menu, and then click the Apply button next to it. The frame you’ve selected appears on the page.

When you export the EPUB document, the video will play in eBook reader applications that support HTML5 video tags. In other applications, the image is static.

10.ChooseWindow>TextWrap.Withthemovieposterselected,selecttheJumpObjecttextwrapoption in the Text Wrap panel.

11. Press Ctrl or Command and click the movie poster to bring the blue placeholder to the front. Then delete the placeholder.

Part 8: Drag and drop anchored objectsYou’ve been able to anchor objects to text in InDesign for a while now, as long as you were willing to work at it. Anchoring still works the same way—as the page reflows due to edits or screen size changes, the object you anchor moves with the text you’ve anchored it to—but the act of anchoringobjectstotexthasbecomemuchsimpler.Eachobjectframehasalittlebluesquareintheupper-rightcorner.Justdragthatbluesquaretotheanchorpointwithinthetext.Theblueboxchanges to an anchor icon to show you it’s anchored. And you’re done! It’s that easy.

Try it: Anchor objects1. Go to page 7, if you’re not already there.

2. With the Selection tool, select the video frame you created in Part 7.

3. Click the blue box on the object frame, and drag it to the end of the paragraph that ends “…annualoutdoorevent.”

The poster is the image that appears whenever the video is not playing, either because it can’t play (whenyouprintthefileoropenitinanapplicationthat doesn’t support video) or because it hasn’t started playing.

You can select a frame from the movie to use as a poster, or you can select a separate image.

Drag the blue box to the anchor point in the text. The blue box changes to an anchor icon, indicating that the object is anchored. To see whereit’sanchored,chooseView>Extras>Show Text Threads.

Anchored objects flow with their articles, staying in position as the text of the article moves. We’ve already anchored other objects for you, so they’re ready for export.

Part9:OrganizecontentusingtheArticlespanel†

The Articles panel makes it much easier to create eBooks that flow smoothly from documents that were designed for print or PDF—without having to change the layout of your document in InDesign. You can select which page items to include and in what order those items should appear. An article can include a single page item, or it can include a combination of existing page items in a layout, including images, text stories, and graphics. You can add more content to existing articles, edit them, or change their order in the Articles panel.

The article flow you set up in the Articles panel is also used in HTML documents you export. Additionally, you can use it to determine the reading order in accessible PDF documents, as you’ll see in Part 12.

Try it: Add content to the Articles panel1. ChooseWindow>ArticlestoopentheArticlespanel.

Four articles are already in the panel. You’ll add the table of contents section.

2. Go to page 2 of the document.

3. Select the Table of Contents frame with the Selection tool.

4. Click the New Article icon in the Articles panel.

What about XML?

Ifyou’recomfortableusingXMLtodeterminetheorderofexportedcontent,don’tworry—theXMLstructurepanelisrightwhereyouexpectittobe.TheArticlespanelprovidesamethodfororderingcontentwithoutneedingtounder-standXML,butXMLguruscanopttouseXMLinstead.


5. In the New Article dialog box, make sure Include When Exporting is selected, and then name the article TOC,andclickOK.

InDesignautomaticallyaddstheselectedTableofContentsstorytotheTOCarticle.

6. DragtheTOCarticleupintheArticlespanel,sothatitisbetweentheCoverandOld Town articles.

Using the Articles panel, you can select which items are exported to an EPUB document. Here, you’ll include the table of contents and the copyright information, but not the maps that are on the right side of the page.

7. Drag the text frame that contains the list of contents onto the Articles panel, directly beneath the<TableofContents>item.Dropitwhenyouseeadarkblackline,indicatingthattheobjectwillbeaddedtotheTOCarticle.

As you drag the text frame, it moves out of position temporarily. As soon as you drop it over the Articles panel, it snaps back into place.

Items with check marks next to them in the Articles panel will display in the exported eBook in the order they appear in the Articles panel, regardless of their order in the InDesign layout. If you want to leave an article out of the exported file, deselect it in the Articles panel.

8. Drag the copyright text frame from the bottom of the page onto the Articles panel, adding it to theTOCarticle.

When you drag a text frame to the Articles panel, its entire story is added. That is, any text threadedwiththeframeyouselectedisalsoincluded.Inthisdocument,theOldTownarticlecontains text that flows across several pages. You could break the threaded text into multiple text stories, and create separate articles for them, placing graphics in the appropriate positions. However, anchored images are automatically included in articles, so the images you anchored (and the ones we anchored for you) will appear in the appropriate locations.

As you drag any object to the Articles panel, the entire objectshifts,butitwillsnapbackintopositionafteryoudrop it over the Articles panel. In this way, adding objects to the Articles panel is similar to adding items to the Library panel.

If you drop the object before you get to the Articles panel, Undoisyourfriend.JustpressCommand+Z(MacOS)or Ctrl+Z (Windows) to restore your layout.

THIRDPROJECT:ExportanaccessiblePDFfileIf you are tasked with preparing accessible PDF documents, you might find this section the most exciting. Substantial changes in InDesign CS5.5 make the process of creating accessible PDF documents that meet WCAG 2.0 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) or Section 508 standards much more efficient and much easier, especially for users who don’t have a strong knowledge of structured documents. In particular, it’s much simpler to tag content and add alt text for screen readers directly in InDesign, without having to make the changes in Acrobat. The PDF tags and alt text you apply stay with your document as you revise it.

Part 11: Include alternate (alt) textScreen readers for the visually disabled cannot make sense of images, so accessible PDF files need to include alternate text that the screen reader can read to describe the image. It’s easier to add alt text to images in InDesign CS5.5, especially if alt text has already been added to the metadata for animageinAdobeBridge,MicrosoftWord,oranotherapplicationthatwritesXMLmetadata.Afteryou’ve added alt text to an image, the alt text stays with it as you design your layout.

Add alt text in InDesignYou can add alt text by typing it directly into InDesign.

Try it: Add alt text to images1. OpentheMy_Local_eBook.inddfile,ifit’snotalreadyopen.

2. ChooseFile>SaveAs,andnamethenewfileAccessible.indd. Save it to the InDesign_CS5.5_RG_Assetsfolder.

3. Go to page 4.

4. With the Selection tool, select the image at the top of the page.


6. SelecttheAltTexttabintheObjectExportOptionsdialogbox.

7. Choose Custom from the Alt Text Source menu.

8. Type A bridge at Sandhill Parkinthetextfield,andclickDone.

The alt text you entered is included whenever you export this InDesign file as an EPUB, HTML, or PDF document. However, it is not added to the metadata for the image file itself, so you’ll need to re-enter it if you use the image in a different document. To ensure the alt text remains with the image, enter it as metadata in Adobe Bridge.

PDFX-4:2010 support

Youcanproducehigh-qualityPDFfilesforprintfromInDesign,too.InDesignCS5.5addssupportforPDFX-4:2010toitsextensivesupportforPDFstandards.


Import existing alt textYou no longer need to re-enter alt text for images in each document. If alt text was entered for an image in Microsoft Word or Adobe Bridge, for example, you can easily assign the same text in InDesign CS5.5.

Try it: Import alt text for images1. Go to page 10.

2. Select the image of the street scene.


4. Select the Alt Text tab.

5. ChooseFromXMP:DescriptionfromtheAltTextSourcemenu.Thetext“GreenLightDistrictwhereParkStreetand7thAvenuemeet”appearsinthetextfield.

6. Click Done.

When you export the document, the alt text you’ve assigned will travel with the image.

Part12:OrganizecontentforthePDFfileScreen readers and other assistive devices attempt to identify the logical flow of a PDF document so that it will make sense as it’s read. Now it’s easier to create tagged PDF files, with both tags and articles identifying the content that should be read, the order in which it should be read, and the reading style.

Organize content in the Articles panelYou used the Articles panel in the second project to organize content for an eBook. You can use the same Articles panel to arrange content logically for an accessible PDF file. In fact, in this case, the content has already been arranged logically, so you do not need to make any changes to the order of items in the Articles panel before exporting an accessible PDF file. However, you do need to instruct InDesign to use the panel order when it exports.

Try it: Use the Articles panel in tagged PDF1. OpentheArticlespanel,ifit’snotalreadyopen.

2. ChooseUseForReadingOrderInTaggedPDFfromtheArticlespanelmenu.

Map styles to PDF tagsInearlierversionsofInDesign,taggingPDFdocumentscouldbeatediousprocess,requiringyoutounderstand and use the Structure pane or the Tags panel. Now, you can map paragraph styles to PDF tags easily. When InDesign exports the tagged PDF document, those mapped tags automatically define the role map in Acrobat.

Try it: Map styles to PDF tags1. ChooseWindow>Styles>ParagraphStylesiftheParagraphStylespanelisn’talreadyopen.

2. Double-click Header in the Paragraph Styles panel to edit it.

3. SelectExportTaggingfromthelistontheleft.

4. InthePDFareaofthedialogbox,chooseH1fromtheTagmenu,andthenclickOK.

PDF tags determine how screen readers read content. For example, the H1 tag indicates that the text is a heading. The PDF tags you map to paragraph styles appear in the role map in Acrobat.

Export the PDF documentWhen you’ve organized and tagged the content in a PDF file, you’re ready to export. There are two options for exporting PDF— interactive and print. You can export a tagged PDF file using either option. You’ll export the PDF document and then take a look at your work in Acrobat.

Try it: Export the PDF document1. Savethefile.


3. Choose Adobe PDF (Interactive) from the Format menu.

You can create tagged print PDF files or tagged interactive PDF files. To create tagged PDF files for print, choose Adobe PDF (Print) from the Format menu instead.
