The most popular desktop publishing tool on Windows
Adobe InDesign CS4 software breaks down the barriers between online and offline publishing. Create compelling print layouts, immersive content for playback in the Adobe Flash Player runtime, and interactive PDF documents. Build variants of manuals, student/teacher textbook editions, or multilanguage publications within a single Adobe InDesign file. Quickly create and apply conditions to specific text, and then hide and show the text as needed without relying on layers. Text and anchored objects reflow automatically. InDesign was the first page layout application to introduce editable drop shadows, feathering, and transparent effects; the first to import styled Microsoft Word and Excel tables; and the first to fully support OpenType fonts and automate hanging punctuation, kerning, and paragraph-level composition for truly professional typography. Built-in effects, including inner glow or bevel and emboss, and finer transparency controls allow you to create more nuanced page design directly in your layout application. Producing pages with speed and precision is what it's all about. That's why InDesign CS4 is focused on improving productivity — both by fine-tuning older features to be more efficient and by introducing new ones. Quickly and efficiently produce unique documents for different audiences or sophisticated layouts with complex elements, illustrations, and photos using new long-document features such as cross-references and conditional text. And get the most out of InDesign on Intel based Mac OS and Microsoft Windows Vista systems. (Work smoothly on legacy PowerPC® based Macs and Windows XP systems as well.) With InDesign CS4, you can work faster — and better — than ever… More Edit

Best alternative to MS Word and such.
this program is a mind blower. it satisfies me in so many ways. love love love love it.
Love it for years!
Gosto muito. :)
InDesign is the best layout program. It allows you to work on a smaller file with links to larger files. It is compatible with all other Adobe Programs.
using it from 1.1 on. Still can be improved but it's the standard in Europe.
love it
Very Great app but it need some imporvment in the GUI , i like i wrote 3 books with it .
I've been using this app since Quark dropped the ball in the late stages of Version 9 of the Mac Os, I have no formal training in DTP, but this app more than suits my needs in creating professional looking documents, in particular the lengthy school text that I compile and revise each year.
great application
Great for layouts and everything in between. Must have for designers.
My primary work program.
I bow to the Adobe gurus who keep making this app better and better with each release. Quark, take note!
Great! Who need, knows it because with the last versions it become absolutely the best on its category.
But $699 is TOO MUCH!!!!!
This is a best software for my work. I like it
