The InDesign designers could benefit from some UX training to make their interface less cluttered and allow designers to focus on their core page-layout tasks. With in-ports and out-ports for linking text, options for scaling a frame, adjusting rounded corners, this is just another thing to accidentally click within the text frame. What’s new in InDesign CC 2017 is that a small icon is added to the bottom of a text frame to access OpenType options. InDesign has supported the use of OpenType fonts for more than a decade. Existing documents retain the default setting of placing footnotes at the bottom of a column and only across the width of the column. The new default option is for footnotes to be placed across multiple columns when creating new documents, which is a change in the InDesign footnote functionality.

The new option is enabled by selecting the checkbox Span Footnotes Across Columns located in the Document Footnote Options dialog box. This formatting can be applied to individual pages or to all pages in a document. Traditionally footnotes were placed under a column, and InDesign CC 2017 lets designers place footnotes that run across the entire page, across several columns.

They range from working with footnotes and certain types of fonts, to minor changes relating to the way InDesign can handle a list of numbers such as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. They are minor enhancements rather than significant changes. Because of this, even if you don’t need the features added with InDesign CC 2017, if you share InDesign files with others for collaboration or workflow, you will still want to update to the latest version.Īdobe’s InDesign CC 2017 new features are what you might expect from an application that has been around for more than a decade. If you already have a subscription to the CC apps, it likely makes sense to get the latest version of the Creative Cloud, as InDesign makes it difficult to share files with users of older versions of the app. With updates to the Creative Cloud apps it is a good opportunity for AGI to provide an InDesign CC 2017 review and new features overview.
