Adobe InDesign is a desktop publishing (DTP) software application produced by Adobe systems which can be used to create anything from posters, flyers, and brochures to full magazines or books.
Designers and graphics production artists are the principal users, creating and laying out periodical publications, posters, and print media. Longer documents are often still designed with Adobe's FrameMaker(manuals, technical documents, etc.) or with QuarkExpress (books, catalogs, etc.). Using a relational database, the Adobe InCopy word processor uses the same formatting engine as InDesign.
