Print designer

I'm a designer with a passion for beautiful, clean pages. From simple, one-color documents to sophisticated layouts with complex elements, I do it all under tight deadlines. Using new long-document features in InDesign CS4, I deliver great design and content on time, in fewer clicks, and with fewer headaches.

Cross-media designer

I have traditional print skills and with InDesign CS4, I can take what I know to the interactive world. When I want to create interactive publications, I can hand off layouts to my rich media designer, who can then add sophisticated interactivity, SWF animations, and more. My design won't be compromised since layout fidelity is maintained when my pages are opened in Adobe Flash® CS4 Professional.

Production manager

I'm a production pro and I know exactly how to get complicated designs to print. I need to ensure that jobs also destined to be published on the web are without mistakes. With Live Preflight in InDesign CS4, I can quickly find and fix problems. Even better, I can rely more on my designers to fix errors during design.

Writer / editor

Writer/editor

I write for publications that have complicated layouts and tight deadlines. With InCopy CS4 and InDesign CS4, I write my story the same time the designer creates the layout. My work doesn't get overwritten and I can control copy fit, no matter how intricate the page. This extensive integration and close collaboration with my designer helps us meet our deadlines with higher quality content.

Printer

My world is changing, and I look for ways to offer new services and add value to my customers. I've always depended on InDesign to keep jobs moving reliably through the presses, and now I have InDesign CS4 Server to power new services. I now offer my customers layout automation for direct mail, catalogs, classifieds, and personalized marketing.

IT manager

I'm responsible for keeping up with new technologies and software, plus I make sure everything is installed and managed efficiently. With the InDesign family, I get a consistent and standardized platform for authoring and publishing to both print and digital media.

Developer

I need to extend the InDesign family to meet our unique publishing needs. I could do this by writing C++ plug-ins or scripts, but thanks to automated publishing with new support for IDML, I can develop my solution even quicker than just using standard XML tools. This is a real time saver.

Business owner

The success of my business depends on understanding how the InDesign family helps the bottom line. My efficiency is top notch, with InDesign CS4 as our layout foundation and InCopy CS4 speeding up editorial. Now I'm learning how InDesign CS4 Server powers a web-to-print solution that allows us to offer new, and profitable, services to our customers.
