Adobe InDesign 2.0.

Adobe has
done a great job improving InDesign. This new major version manages to
address both the needs of designers and print professionals that have a
totally different use of the product. InDesign
2.0
will be a marvellous resource of creativity for designers while print
professionals will be able to create long documents painlessly. The
performance improvements of the software are quite a hit as well as the new
exporting and revamped printing features. More powerful, more flexible, more
professional and more creative, InDesign
2.0
is definitely a winner. Adobe’s software is probably the best page layout
program you can find on the market.
