Overall Satisfaction with Adobe InDesign

it is only being used by the communications department. It allows us to create and design various projects for a variety of departments in our organization. We produce everything from invitations, programs, collateral material, social media images, brochures, magazines, etc.
  • InDesign has so many excellent features, too many to name. A few that I find very helpful are the Character Styles. Creating styles within my documents saves me much time when formatting content.
  • Another feature I use frequently is the feature to export selections as JPEGs.
  • There are many times I try to copy images from Illustrator into InDesign and the image is too large so it makes it an EPS rather than an editable image. It would be nice if there weren't limitations on this.
  • It would also be nice if the Paste Into feature allowed you to do this to images at different times without erasing the previous Paste Into image.
  • This program has benefited our organization positively by allowing the creation of brochures, flyers, and emails to our database of contacts.
  • We would prefer to have a one-time purchase for an actual install CD. We are not a fan of Cloud-based programs that we have to pay for monthly. The benefits do not outweigh the cost per year with Cloud.
I prefer the functionality of InDesign versus other software such a Quark, or the much older Adobe Pagemaker.
We have always gotten support when it is needed. We have few issues.

Would you buy Adobe InDesign again?

Yes

InDesign suits our organization and our needs perfectly. It is the main program the communications department uses on a daily basis. It helps us create the promotional materials we need for our various departments. The functionality of InDesign over the years has really us saved time and resources. We miss not having an actual install CD so will be forced to move to the cloud sooner than later.
