For applications beyond print, InDesign can import and export XML files, with embedded meta-data tags making it easier to track, manage and retrieve documents. The application can build XML-based structures into new and legacy documents, and can generate tagged Adobe PDF files for eBooks.

In positioning the layout application versus its other offerings, Adobe asserts that PageMaker is targeted to business publishers who create brochures, newsletters, signage and reports; and FrameMaker is designed for corporate publishers who produce printed manuals and e-books.
