Overall Satisfaction with Adobe InDesign

I'm a graphic designer of our design department. We are currently using [Adobe] InDesign for creating catalog, brochures, and sellsheets of our company's products. Every year our company will make new product catalog and new sellsheets, we are following the same template, which [Adobe] InDesign helps a lot with, so we just apply the master page and fill it in with new content, it makes our catalog style consist and also makes our lives easier.
  • master pages helps apply the same layout
  • character style
  • paragraph style
  • the linked text frame sometimes bugs me
  • maybe [Adobe] InDesign can automatically read a folder called "links" as AI does
  • besides, all good
  • it's standard and lightweight
  • it keeps the same layout for all the files
  • it's straightforward
  • [Adobe] InDesign speeds up of our department
  • It helps catch up with Sales' projects
  • It saves our time
We can use AI to make catalog or sellsheets too, but it can not compete with [Adobe] InDesign, AI is useful for single page stuff, but it's a bit heavy while carries more pages and more links. While we are doing some artworks, we prefer to use AI, but once it has few more pages, we prefer to use [Adobe] InDesign.

I really love the way [Adobe] InDesign allows us the apply and change the template briefly. When we are doing catalogs, it saves us a lot of time to play with the layout. Also, the character style and paragraph style help a lot, instead of changing the font type and size all the time, we just need to click on the style name.
