Desktop publishing application and design tools by Adobe.
Adobe InDesign is a professional publishing design tool which has been around for quite a while but recently improved to support newer generation devices such as iPads and other portable tablet PCs.
The newest version of InDesign includes support for book and magazine publishing and can also create web pages with PDF forms and Flash animations.
Managing objects in Adobe InDesign CS6 has seen some welcome improvements. It also integrates nicely with other Adobe applications such as Adobe Illustrator. It works well hand-in-hard with other, more complex Adobe CS6 apps.
If you're used to Adobe applications, then InDesign shouldn't be too hard to get a grasp of. If you aren't every experienced in desktop publishing software, then the learning curve for InDesign can be rather steep.
