What is Adobe InDesign, and Who is it for?
A professional page layout application for print and digital publishing, Adobe InDesign lets you design, preflight, and publish a broad range of content for print, web, and tablet apps. It offers precise control over typography, built in creative tools, an intuitive design environment, and tight integration with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, and Animate. And because InDesign is part of Adobe Creative Cloud, you get access to all the latest updates and future releases the moment they’re available.
The October 2018 release of InDesign (version 14.0) is the latest as of May 2019. However, updates are automatically pushed when available.
