Overall Satisfaction with Adobe InDesign

We use Adobe InDesign daily for all of our presentations. I use it when creating mood boards, as well as presentations for properties and plans, FF&E, etc. It is a great presentation tool, and super intuitive to use. It makes all of our presentations look seamless and professional.

Pros

  • Creating templates - so all pages read the same, and have the same margins, titles, etc.
  • Guides - ability to snap items to guides so that images and texts are laid out with equal spacing and setup as a beautiful presentation.
  • Packaging - pulling full presentations into a "package" so that all of your image links, fonts, settings are saved, and can easily share among team members.

Cons

  • Collaboration - it would be great if there was a way to have live collaboration between team members (similar to how microsoft word or google presentations can allow multiple users to modify a document in real time).
  • File sizes - sometimes file sizes are too large and it holds up the computer and takes a lot of time to save and share.
  • None - I think this is a great tool and use it daily.
  • Packaging.
  • Links to files.
  • Templates - for seamless presentations across the board.
  • Ability to cleanly line up margins and space items.
  • Increased efficiency.
  • Sometimes it takes a very long time to package or save, or export to PDF, which kills time.
  • Helps with getting awarded projects based on beautiful presentations.
Adobe InDesign is much more intuitive to use, and is set up better for beautiful design presentations.
