The only tool I've found for mail merge with image

Likeliness to Recommend

6 /10

What differentiates Adobe InDesign from other similar products?

I think what differentiates Adobe InDesign from other similar products is that the mail merge function is capable of inserting not only text, but also inserting images dynamically from a directory.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favourite aspect of Adobe InDesign apart from the image mail merging, is the ability to disable hyphenation on a paragraph. I find that some designs call for hyphenation, and some designs don't look right with hyphenation.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Adobe InDesign is expensive!

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

My recommendation for considering Adobe InDesign is to take a good look at its capabilities, and consider if there is a cheaper product that may do the task you require. For example, for most mail merge tasks, Microsoft Word would be a better value product.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Unique Features

Cons

  • Security Frustrates

What differentiates Adobe InDesign from other similar products?

Useful assets for taking care of a lot of text, with full command over void area, kerning, support, driving and any remaining parts of typesetting. Strong Prepress controls for pre-flighting your print distribution, dealing with overprints and catching, and doing both Pantone spot tone just as 4 shading process detachments.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

We use InDesign on the every day when dealing with inventories, decks, deal sheets. It's an extraordinary apparatus when you need to spread out various pages including spreads while submitting fine art over to our printer. Simple to work with and love the general format when you need to oversee pages, resources, and an or more while adding hyperlinks to objects.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The main thing I don't like with regards to InDesign is the CS Live Adobe Community Help interface. It's profoundly buggy and hard to look. It's typically a lot more straightforward to simply do a Google look for an answer or element you cannot find, instead of attempting to utilize the Community interface.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It is appropriate when you have a staff part that can be devoted to learning the cycle. It's not really the most straightforward to simply "get" and go for it. My colleague had the option to truly delve in and figure out how to utilize it, and afterward train myself a short time later.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Efficient Service
