Adobe Indesign is undoubtedly the best product for creating static pages on the world market.

However is a tool strongly oriented to manual creative activity and, although easily automatable for small tasks, is not suitable for efficiently managing large publications (for example catalogs of different hundreds of pages, in different configuration and language variants)

If, on the one hand, its extreme flexibility is a strong point for creating documents of relatively limited size, it is however a great weakness for large and complex publications that require continuous updates.

It is also extremely disadvantageous to use Indesign as an information repository; this is perhaps one of the greatest limitations that can be attributed to this tool, not for the tool itself, but for the use made of it by the majority of users.

Companies often write valuable information directly to Indesign that can then be used in various media, making it the de facto product information database.

From here they often proceed by copying and pasting the Indesign file to other documents or to other media such as CMS or Excel sheets for sending to other systems.
