Adobe InDesign Reviews & Product Details

I use Adobe InDesign for most of my graphic design work, and I find it user-friendly. Everything I create looks professional, which I really like. The ability to work in layers and create master pages saves me a lot of time because I don't have to repeat elements on every page. It's awesome that I can use many fonts for my designs, helping me meet my complex graphic design and marketing needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fonts sometimes don't link up correctly with Creative Cloud. Also, the AI feature occasionally changes things that I didn't select, like cutting a line of text in a certain place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It gives me the power to creatively lay out text and images in a way that works well for both print and online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much to add. I use it every day, and it consistently exceeds my design needs. Every so often I run into minor glitches with screen rendering, but they’re easy enough to work around and don’t get in the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

InDesign is one of those apps you think you won't need until you use it. For years i've concentrated my work on Illustrator and Photoshop, until the day I had to use InDesign and it all changed. InDesign is light on your computer, it allows you to create layouts for pages, place images from other softwares and also work with Adobe's Library, creating an live ecosystem where you can organize your work for better presentation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes my fonts aren't recognized by InDesign and I have to restart the app after reinstalling the font, also, the Package action don't always embed all the used files in the folder Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

InDesign is an amazing tool for designing templates and documents, and it provides a high level of customization to fit different needs and styles. When working off a Mac it works smoothly and never run into performance problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can’t edit files on network shares. The lack of support for a basic function like this, and having to rely on local copies instead, has created complications for some of our users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Indesign is a great tool to create nice looking brochures, layouts, pages, and pdfs. It has awesome templates and can make the layout process simple and fast. It's a great return on investment. You can also convert pdf and revise the layouts. A great feature if you can't find the pdf's orignal file . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can seem a little intimidating to use at first with the abundance of menus and features. Once you familiarize yourself with the tools, you can edit pretty quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When working on documents that need to look polished and consistent, Adobe InDesign feels dependable. Page layouts, master pages, and text styles make it easy to manage large documents without losing formatting control. I regularly use it for brochures, reports, and multi-page designs, and the precision it offers for typography and spacing is hard to replace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance can slow down with very large files or heavy image usage. The subscription pricing may also feel expensive for users who only need it occasionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the ease of use of Adobe InDesign. I started my design career with InDesign, and I loved that I was able to create professional-looking pieces even with limited experience. Now, as a professional designer, I'm able to do so much more with the system. InDesign allows me to create pieces for clients that are of professional and of printable quality, even on incredibly large scales. I can export in whatever format a client needs, and I really like the integration with other tools like Photoshop and Illustrator to get exactly what my client needs in their design. The software's user-friendly nature allows me to be more creative, and no matter what a client needs, InDesign's ease of use makes it possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were more of an integration with Illustrator, but Illustrator really does provide the ability to do anything InDesign can't. In my opinion, you have to use the two in tandem if you're going to be a professional designer. There is a little bit of a learning curve with InDesign, especially if you're used to another system. Adobe tools don't have exactly the same functionality from app to app. I don't prefer to use InDesign on a laptop. I find the experience is far better with a desktop and traditional mouse and/or a tablet with a smart pen. It's hard to get the control you need on a traditional laptop with a trackpad. Besides some gaps in the functionality that are solved easily by integration, there isn't much to complain about with InDesign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of creating my newsletter for my company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes when there are updates, they are harder to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Adobe InDesign because it allows us to create reusable templates for our email ads, product catalogs, and brand guidelines. I love how it makes content editing flexible and efficient, enabling us to tailor experiences to different customers or markets without needing to hire graphic designers or ad agencies. It's great that I can alter graphics using other Creative Suite tools like Photoshop and Illustrator and seamlessly integrate them into my InDesign templates. The setup is extremely easy with Adobe Creative Cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I can say about the program that is negative is that it is a little hard to learn in the beginning. I wish there was some more packaged templates you could edit without having to have a full understanding of the extent of the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is very flexible for creating pdf designs for client approval, digital and print outputs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like In-Design to offer a complete web design interface as I am familiar with all the settings and toolboxes. A design possibility like XD but the designer can actually build and launch the website, thus omiting the need for developers.

This would be the future, today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
