The combination of all the options for typesetting and designing and vector editing and creating makes it number one for me. > > **Cons**: Limited options for gradients and also the lack of angled grid lines. > > It’s my number one tool, I design 99% of my designs using InDesign. I love the fact that it has advanced text options while being vector programme at the same time. In designing layout options are crucial and it has the best layout options for print and web (and mobile) ----- ### "Create multipage layouts for professional looking books and brochures" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 March 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Once you get past the learning curve, InDesign is perfect for your print design needs. As a part of the Creative Suite, it seamlessly integrates with other programs meaning that assets and design elements can easily be shared. Also it is very easy to create templates for future projects. > > **Cons**: You will need to use Photoshop or Illustrator for image/vector file editing support. Also as part of the CS subscription based model it can be costly to run particularly for hobbyist or freelancers. ----- ### "The industry standard these days - popular, low cost, fairly easy to use." — 3.0/5 > **Clifford** | *11 April 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's the industry standard these days - everybody uses it. > > **Cons**: I personally prefer Quark Express for DTP design, though I realise Indesign is preferred by others, and Quark can work out more expensive. > > As you might expect, it's compatible with other Adobe products (Illustrator, Photoshop etc) which is helpful when you're designing and you get various files you need to import into the layout. ----- ### "The industry standard" — 5.0/5 > **Oliver** | *6 January 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Being able to create literature and presentation for any client with any brand and having full flexibility over design and layout > > **Cons**: Some glitches within the software making previews glitch and needing to be up to date to with software versions for some files. > > Great, I use this software daily and it is the industry standard for graphic design. There isn’t another product that comes close when it comes to designing presentations and literature ----- ### "Easy styles and grids for professional printed materials." — 5.0/5 > **Christopher** | *16 March 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy-to-use design software for setting up booklets, 48 sheets and any other printed material. Great for setting up grid systems, and also styles for text and paragraphs. It works well with all the other adobe software and makes designing print easy and stress free. > > **Cons**: Some of the design features from illustrator would be useful to be able to use in indesign. I think the rounded corners option should be easier to access and the way it is in illustrator would make it better. > > I use Indesign daily and I think it is great for designing any print material. Using styles for text and paragraphs, means you can work fast and make edits to full documents quickly and easily. The grid layouts means you can keep everything aligned properly and keep your looking profesional. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1015781/adobe-indesign?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1015781/adobe-indesign) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
