InDesign and Acrobat: PDF Partners
While the applications can be used independently, you’ll gain powerful advantages by using the two of them together.
In the early days of desktop computing, PDF and Adobe Acrobat paved the way for documents to be created, viewed, and printed with fidelity across platforms. We take it for granted today, but in 1992 this idea was revolutionary. Some folks insisted it couldn’t be done. Happily, it was, and over the years, Acrobat was developed to fully exploit the capabilities of PDF. To this day, no other application provides the range of creation, editing, exchange, presentation and printing/preflighting capabilities that Acrobat has.
Developed just a few years later, Adobe InDesign fully supported the creation and import of PDF, and has developed a rich partnership with its elder software sibling. While each program can be used independently, you’ll gain powerful advantages by using the two of them together.
