Adobe InDesign CS is, for many, the next generation page layout application of choice, set to unseat QuarkXPress as the leader in the desktop publishing arena. It contains a host of advanced text, colour, print and layout features not found in any other application. It also boasts and interface similar to many of Adobe s other leading design applications and so is reasonably intuitive for users of these applications. Further, Adobe InDesign integrates seamlessly with the other Adobe applications and can include native Photoshop and Illustrator files. PDF output, XML , and export to GoLive output are also supported, making InDesign the perfect tool for repurposing content.
