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 only choice for print design\!" — 5.0/5 > **Ryan** | *7 February 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Started using Indesign from the first version, I never really got on with Quark and pushed my agency to Adopt it. > > **Cons**: I think it's pretty great to be honest, I'm using a slightly older version due to my older setup. > > Indesign is so easy to use but like other Adobe apps, it's really powerful. ----- ### "Industry standard software for a good reason." — 5.0/5 > **Sam** | *20 March 2025* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: As part of the Adobe Creative Suite it integrates well and is an industry standard piece of software. > > **Cons**: Steep learning curve can be off-putting. ----- 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
