Pros and Cons
- Simplicity: Adobe InDesign is much easier to use than other Adobe products like Photoshop. It’s easy to add a range of features to your publication, including tags, anchor text frames, tables, captions, and more.
- HTML support: Adobe offers HTML exporting so you can easily share simple code with your colleagues during the web development process. You’ll also get functionality built into the app to assist with getting rid of DIV tags that aren’t necessary for your code.
- Industry standard: The fact that this product is the industry standard for publishing means you can find plenty of forum support and help out there to get you started.
- Connections to creative cloud: If you choose to do so, you can access InDesign and Photoshop at the same time, alongside other creative apps in the Creative Cloud.
