"Now, InDesign CS4 has Conditional Text and Cross References, not to mention Smart Guides, GREP nested styles within paragraph styles, and a whole lot more. If you use InDesign, this is one of the best upgrades in many years."

"If you're a designer, InDesign is worth buying no matter how you purchase the product — as a standalone program or in one of the suites that include it....Whether you're designing for print, the web, or both, you'll find enough new power on board to warrant the cost of either a new purchase or an upgrade."

"I like InDesign CS4. And it adds a half dozen or so new or significantly improved features, such as smart guides and improved link management, that will make designers' lives easier."

"I'm a proponent of InDesign's interactive features, so I'm pleased that InDesign CS4 has several improvements for creating Flash and PDF presentations....The Live Preflight feature might get my vote for 'Most Groundbreaking CS4 Improvement.'"

"InDesign CS4, with a raft of innovative new features, feels like a 21st century publishing tool whereas QuarkXPress 8 seems more like a retrofit. We'll give Quark a polite round of applause, followed by a loud standing ovation for InDesign CS4."

"With the new and enhanced features in InDesign CS4 it is clear Adobe is still committed to being the best."
Robert Barnett, PC-Review Online,

"The feature that most impresses me in the latest rendition of InDesign is the Preflight. I know, I know: InDesign has always had a great preflight function; however, the gang at Adobe has taken it up a notch or two or three thousand."

"InDesign CS3 firmly cemented its place as the industry standard design and layout application. CS4's sleek layout, navigation tools, and many new features will keep it there for years to come. Like the rest of the CS4 releases, InDesign CS4 will make you more efficient and more productive than ever before."

"A good buy....I would encourage people using older versions of InDesign or PageMaker to upgrade to CS4."

"When I launched InDesign CS4 for the first time, it took all of about ten seconds to see that I was going to like what I found. In the past, small feature additions made it difficult to decide if you should upgrade or not. With InDesign CS4, the answer is unquestionably, YES! With an interface that matches all other Adobe Creative Suite Design bundle applications, numerous new productivity enhancements, addition of Adobe Kuler, and feature-rich interactive export options, there's virtually no excuse not to upgrade."

"The designers gave careful consideration to functions that aid creativity, improve productivity, and allow repetitive features to be scripted. Because the developers are working on the next version, InDesign CS3 isn't the best InDesign will ever be, but it's the best document layout application available today."
Bill Blinn, TechByter Worldwide,

"With a slick new interface and a host of new productivity boosting features I believe Adobe has finally surpassed QuarkXPress as the must have page layout software. I highly recommend upgrading to CS3. In time, due to improved efficiency and time saved, it will pay for itself."

"InDesign remains the most capable page layout software available. The more I use the new version, the more I appreciate the subtle retooling throughout, not just the obvious new features. InDesign CS3 is an upgrade that you'll grow to like."

"[InDesign CS3] delivers powerful new time-saving features, a streamlined and customizable interface, large-scale improvements to existing functionality, and a great many small, useful touches....With an upgrade price of only $199 from InDesign 2.0, CS, or CS2, there's little doubt that the upgrade is worthwhile."
