Adobe InDesign Reviews & Product Details

It is simple enough but also has all of the features one would require.

It can be a little bit difficult to navigate when you first get started. There is definitely a learning curve.

I use this for promotional materials like promo cards and flyers.

The thing I like best about Adobe InDesign is it's capacity for multi-page documents. Whether its a book, magazine spread, flyer, pdf, brochure, or large format design, InDesign can handle it all. This program makes it so easy to create these multi-page documents use it's Master Pages functionality. It's the most design-friendly program for visual organization.

The thing I dislike about InDesign is it's lack of ease when it comes to direct-design tools. Tools like the pen tool are not as friendly to use as they are in Illustrator, which can sometimes be a little frustrating. I also really dislike that I have to select the "Auto Size" button when scaling images within InDesign. The bounding box around images makes me crazy sometimes!

The biggest business problem we are solving using Adobe InDesign is creating multi-page proposals or PDF's--the Master Pages functionality is a life-saver in this process. We've also realized the benefit of design large-format things, like trade show banners, within this program. It's so much easier to manage in InDesign!

I love how it works woth the other Adobe products seamlessly.

I cannot think of one thing that i dislike.

Ease of layout.

It’s the industry standard and similar to all adobe products.

Sometimes the updates aren’t my favorite.

InDesign helps us to design business cards, flyers, brochures and more for our marketing department.

The ease in creating posters, books, flyers, and more!

Sometimes the links break if they are relocated.

I am able to creating all multi page designs with ease.

i love Indesign for new brochures. It makes creating and editing easy.

Lack of photo editing capacity can cause more time to be needed.

Inexpensive brochures

I like how InDesign can bring out better skills from its users by making it easy enough for them to learn how to use the tools and make something great.

I wish there would be a drawing tool like in Illustrator.

InDesign can be complicated for people to use, but it is easy enough for most users to figure out and work on together.

While InDesign does have a bit of a learning curve, once you familiarize yourself with the menus and layout of the tools on hand, it is so invaluable to design processes. And there's simply no beating the compatibility with the other Adobe products. In fact, if you have any experience at all with other Adobe products such as PhotoShop or LightRoom, the learning curve for InDesign lessens dramatically. This is my favorite tool to use for laying out and organizing designs.

As great as InDesign is, it is unfortunately not an industry standard here in Silicon Valley. For that reason alone, it can be kind of a pain to use, as many people don't actually have this software installed.

We use Adobe InDesign for a few steps in our design process, most notably simply laying out designs for a page. The main benefit is that it is incredibly easy to use and is a software that is typically easy to obtain since many companies already have overarching license agreements with Adobe.

I like how easy it is to make design using InDesign.

After the update sometimes my library doesnt sync.

I create a lot of things using InDesign. I make flyers, manuals and other things.

I love that you can save time and work by creating master pages and adding to them as you go.

It is such a complex program, it is difficult to get acquainted with in a busy work setting.

I create nearly all of my graphics with InDesign now. It saves me tons of time I would have spent designing page by page in Photoshop.

Easy to use and makes all of your presentations look great and professional.

I don't have any dislikes at this time. I find it easy to work with and quite professional.

I do all my flyers and brochures in indesign. I have also designed my professional portfolio with it and it came out FABULOUS

I love how easy it is to use, clicking and dragging elements and resizing is a breeze.

I’m not fond of the learning curve which can be a not as easy as other Adobe Products to use.

Used it to set up materials for printing such as books and advertisement.

InDesign is by far the easiest to use for creating catalogs, books, letters, etc.

It gets pretty cluttered when it comes to designing things like catalogs that include photos of products and what not. The bounding boxes on objects get pretty tiring on the eyes after a week of working on a certain catalog.

Most of our work with InDesign is done to create catalogs for products and letterheads for clients. The anchored pages help a bit and the ease of drag and dropping different objects is nice. I do wish resizing images wasn't such a difficult shortkey, because I swear that alone just seems like a flawed UX idea.

I love that InDesign files are small and they have pre set sizes for print and web

Updating links and fonts can be a pain sometimes.

Print materials, Web banners, social media

The ability to create professional looking collateral with ease

Learning curve to use the tool, it is not particularly intuitive

The ability to design brochures, invitations, and event materials in-house, saving us tons of money
