Good: I've managed to fix my low audio problems and the videocast should be much more listenable now. Better: InDesign CS5 includes a nice feature that allows you to export PDF files in the background while you work on other stuff! Worse: This background export functionality doesn't work with Book files. Better: This episode of Dirty Words Design explains how it works and how it doesn't.
