There’s no doubt artificial intelligence (AI) is finding a permanent home in several industries. Whether we’re using face ID to unlock our phones, a web mapping platform to find the optimal route back home, or built-in text editor software to make sure our emails are error free, AI technology is at play. It is revolutionizing the way that we work and how we go about our daily lives.&nbsp;

### Digital Design for a Human World
](https://www.g2.com/articles/digital-design-for-a-human-world)
Society evolves over time. Whether due to social, political, scientific, or technological occurrences, there are significant moments, such as the current global pandemic, that shift the way we collectively perceive and behave. To help us adapt to these shifts, there’s design. Design responds to the changing world and helps us navigate unprecedented times.

Question on: Adobe InDesign
[Help me export in PDF with crop marks a book for saddle stitching](/discussions/29611-help-me-export-in-pdf-with-crop-marks-a-book-for-saddle-stitching)

?

If you go File \> Export \> Save \> Marks and Bleeds, there are options to include crop marks. You can then adjust these to fit your book's needs.

Question on: Adobe InDesign
[Are there any other application outside of Adobe that pair well with InDesign?](/discussions/29498-are-there-any-other-application-outside-of-adobe-that-pair-well-with-indesign)

I use Adobe products as my main tools for design and development. I have all of the apps connected to each other and it makes everything so much simpler to work with. Outside of Adobe, however, I am limited in my connectivity. Are there any apps or programs you use to connect to InDesign or Adobe in general? And how do those programs fare against other Adobe products?

Personally I have switched completely to the Affinity Suite. MUCH more affordable, for a non-pro in graphics design more intuitive - yet it is possible to Import InDesign or PDF Format. Many addons. While this does not really answer your question - you seem to want to stick to Adobe - it nevertheless might be worth a look. (https://affinity.serif.com/) . 1. Affinity Publisher 2.

Question on: Microsoft Publisher
[how to use microsoft publisher](/discussions/how-to-use-microsoft-publisher)

I want to make sure I'm using it to the best of my ability. What are some things you've done with it that have been successful?

At my office, I have used this program to make templates for our advertisements. Whether we are creating print publications or facebook ads, it helps to have a reliable format. Publisher allows me to have placeholder elements where I can drag and drop photos, edit text, etc. Since publisher is not very useful to me as a photo editor, I usually find myself using publisher in the final stages of a publication, especially since the print options line up pretty well with the office printer
