Faster performance
Under-the-hood improvements throughout InDesign keep you working quickly and smoothly. Harness all of your system's RAM with native 64-bit support. See the greatest improvements in speed and stability when printing and when exporting PDF and INX files.
Modern UI
InDesign has a new look. Because the updated user interface is consistent with Adobe® Photoshop® and Illustrator®, it's easier to work across your Adobe applications. And now you control the brightness of the UI so you can see your layouts more clearly.
HiDPI and Retina display support
From text to complex artwork, every element of your design will have greater clarity and vibrancy, thanks to support for the high-resolution Retina display on the new MacBook Pro.
Sync Fonts
Sync Fonts — part of Creative Cloud — will change the way you work with type. Quickly find the perfect font from the growing library of Adobe Typekit® fonts, sync it to your system, and have it immediately available for use.
Font search and filter
Find the perfect font — fast. Type any portion of a font name, such as "bold," "semicondensed," "italic," or any part of a font family name, and see only the fonts that match your criteria.

OpenType enhancements
Just click to see OpenType font properties of any selected text or text box, and then quickly apply properties to characters, words, or a whole story.
Arrowhead scale control
Scale start and end arrowheads independently of line stroke weight, and switch them with a single click.
Easier Adobe Stock search
