Productivity enhancements
Live preflight
Preflight while you design for better results, greater time savings, and lower production costs. Continuous preflighting alerts you to potential production problems in real time. The new Preflight panel lets you navigate to and select the objects that are triggering the preflight error. View contextual tips to help you correct errors directly in layout. See Preflighting files before handoff.
Spread view rotation
Temporarily rotate the spread view without physically turning your monitor. Enjoy full editing capability at 90 and 180 degree angles so that you can work on non-horizontal design elements, such as rotated calendar spreads and tables. See Rotate the spread view.
Smart Guides
Align, space, rotate, and resize multiple objects in one step. Align to the horizontal, vertical, or center of page edges. The guides, object dimensions, rotation, and X,Y coordinates appear dynamically so you can snap objects in relation to other objects in the layout. See Use smart guides.
Smart Dimensions
When you create, resize, or rotate one object, Smart Dimensions shows the width, height, or rotation of your object, highlighting when the dimensions or rotation matches nearby objects.
Smart Spacing
Evenly space multiple items on your page by snapping objects into position without having to use the Align panel.
Smart Cursors
When transforming objects, the cursor displays X and Y position, width and height, or rotation information. The Show Transformation Values option in Interface preferences lets you turn smart cursors on and off.
Versatile Links panel
Find, sort, and organize placed content with the redesigned Links panel. Scan link attributes and click to view details such as scale, rotation, and resolution. Customize the Links panel to suit your working preferences.
Quickly replace low-resolution images used as placeholders with high-resolution images based on filename. Filename extensions are ignored. Simply relink to a new folder. See Links panel overview.
