You can set up master style sheets for headlines, body text, subheads, etc, so everything with match exactly. I highly recommend this to anyone. > > **Cons**: You cannot draw in it. I wish they would bring some features from Illustrator into InDesign so you can draw more. Wish I could make printer pdf spreads from pdfs like you used to be able to do directly in the software. > > Ive been using it since before when it was Pagemaker and then went to Indesign. Adobe has great software for designers. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "You cannot upload anything" — 1.0/5 > **NORMAN** | *27 July 2024* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing > > **Cons**: I have been trying to upload a pdf book to InDesign for weeks, unsuccessfully. > > Terrible. It doesn't work. Again, no matter what file I try to upload to InDesign, it will take it. ----- ### "a key tool for layout-heavy projects like brochures" — 5.0/5 > **Rafia** | *16 January 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The layout control is excellent, especially for multi-page documents. Styles, grids, and typography tools make it easy to maintain brand consistency across large projects. It’s also well integrated with other Adobe tools. > > **Cons**: There’s a learning curve, particularly for designers coming from purely visual tools. Like other Adobe products, the subscription cost may be high for very small teams. > > InDesign is a key tool for layout-heavy projects like brochures, reports, and brand guidelines. It helps keep complex documents clean and consistent. ----- ### "Adobe Indesign a very good software" — 5.0/5 > **Cyril** | *15 December 2024* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: A very nice software that make desing easer and really time efficient. The software is updated very often and offer cool features, and AI intergated. > > **Cons**: Can't think of something. Very good software. > > My overall experience is very good and unmached till today. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/353247/adobe-indesign?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/353247/adobe-indesign) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
