InDesign Variable Fonts and Longform

Speed up editorial work with the latest InDesign touches:

• Variable font sliders in the Properties panel (no more jumping to Character); save weight/width axes into paragraph styles.
• Footnote enhancements: multi-column footnotes and custom markers for magazine layouts.
• Linked content re-link: swap a master PDF/image and retain crop + effects across all instances.
• Auto-generate TOC by content prefix (great for product guides with codes).
• PDF export now supports tagged AVIF placement for lighter, sharper inline art.

Tip: combine variable font axes with GREP styles to auto-italicize pull quotes without manual spans.
