| + | Master Pages | Applies shared page elements like headers, footers and page numbers automatically across many pages, keeping long documents consistent. |
|---|---|---|
| + | Paragraph & Character Styles | Bundles font, size and spacing settings into reusable style definitions that update every instance at once when edited. |
| + | Object Styles | Bundles stroke, fill, transparency and text-wrap settings for frames so entire publications can be restyled by editing one definition. |
| + | Data Merge | Combines a layout with a CSV or text data source to generate many personalised copies of labels, letters or cards from one template. |
| + | GREP Styles & Search | Applies pattern-based find-and-replace rules across a document to automate repetitive typography cleanup like spacing and punctuation fixes. |
| + | Liquid Layout | Adapts a single page design to different sizes and orientations using rules instead of manually rebuilding each version. |
| + | Alternate Layouts | Stores multiple page sizes or orientations for the same content within one file, useful for print and digital versions of a single design. |
| + | Flex Layout | Repositions and resizes design elements automatically when content length changes, reducing manual realignment across pages. |
| + | Content-Aware Fit | Detects the focal point of a placed image and crops it automatically to fit a frame without manual adjustment. |
