In reviews of previous versions of InDesign, the looming question was always, “Is this version worth the cost of the upgrade or can I skip it?” But with Adobe’s switch to the Creative Cloud subscription model, this question is meaningless. Every subscriber receives the latest version as soon as it’s available. Based on the quality of updates released since Creative Cloud was launched a little over a year ago, the result of Adobe’s subscription model seems to be good for customers. Bolstered by the confidence that they’ll receive your ongoing upgrade dollars, Adobe is spending less time developing shiny new features intended to entice customers to pay for an upgrade. Instead, they seem to be focusing on improving the real-world usefulness of InDesign. InDesign CC 2014 has giant improvements for ePub book producers and lots of long-overdue improvements to meat-and-potatoes features such as creating tables, hyperlinks, footnotes, scaling effects, packaging of project files and printing to PDF printers.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Continue reading at 'PC World'

Twitter is quite the medium. An endless source of looping GIFs, "viral" videos, and, sadly, bad advertising.
