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