Adobe InDesign is the leading desktop publishing and layout software for producing brochures, magazines, flyers, books, posters, and a wide range of digital documents. It allows you to rapidly draft your documents with precise control over typography, images, positioning, alignment, color, and other interactive features.

Additionally, you’ll explore advanced InDesign features such as text styles, parent pages, tables of contents, and pre-flighting.
