Liquid Layout is a way to automatically or semi-automatically adapt page content and objects from one page size or orientation to another. And yes, if you are planning any multi-output publishing, it will solve a need you actually have. It will cost a little bit of up-front learning time for a long-term payoff (like with styles). It will impact our work positively (by lessening it).

And in this article I’ll tell you how to use it, but first, here are the answers to those other questions I mentioned. The new feature under that scrutiny today is Liquid Layout in InDesign CS6. But in this article I’m going to go one further and tell you the answers to the questions than we all need to ask before we wonder how to use a new feature: (okay, actually it’s several) What can the feature do for us? Will it impact our work positively or negatively and to what degree in either direction? What will it save us-or cost us-in terms of productivity? Does it solve a need you and I actually have-or will have in the foreseeable future-or is it just something cool (or not) that sounds like we might want to use but probably never will? Many InDesign experts then rush to tell us how to use that feature through articles, videos, blog posts, presentations, and so on. This PDF is best viewed in Adobe Acrobat or the free Adobe Reader.Īny time a feature is added to InDesign or any mission-critical tool, Adobe is always keen to tell us what that new feature is. In addition to the HTML version of the excerpt below, you can also download the excerpt as a PDF that retains the full design of the magazine. Excerpted from InDesign Magazine, April/May 2012 (issue 47).
