SVG Kit for Adobe Creative Suite is a plug-in, which adds full-functional support of SVG  images to Adobe InDesign and Adobe Photoshop. Because of the fact, that Adobe's SVG support is limited (the most up-to-date version of Adobe Creative Suite at a current point in time is CS5), it is possible to work with SVG directly only in Adobe Illustrator

SVG Kit for Adobe InDesign features

• All InDesign graphics editing commands and options are supported.
