Adobe InDesign Tips
Adobe InDesign is a commercial software package used for page layout.
InDesign is available for Windows and macOS (but not Linux or mobile devices, such as tablets and smart phones.)
Adobe InDesign is a part of the Adobe Creative Cloud.
Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) has a license for the complete Adobe Creative Cloud, and it is installed on our Design Workstations 2 and 3.
