... Right because Adobe ONLY produce InDesign.
For digital publishing, Adobe have Dreamweaver, Muse, Edge, (part of InDesign), Flash... all linked with Creative Cloud, which allows you to publish 'to-the-web' (Great for non-technical designers).
I would hazard a guess that you work for Quark, or are an Apple-like fanboy of them, to present such a one sided argument with a fraction of the complete information.
- digitalengineer 14y agoYou would guess wrong. I'm actually a huge InDesign fan and have been accused of being an Adobe fanboy.

- sbuk 14y ago"Apple-like fanboy" really? I come here to avoid idiocy like this. Your point is valid, but you've rendered it moot by behaving like that.
- Volpe 14y agoGreat contribution, my point is still valid regardless of what you think of me... you, on the other hand, didn't make a useful point. To say Adobe is tied to Postscript unlike Quark comes across as fanboy-ism. Given adobe are heavily invested in HTML. That said the OP clarified what he means by Desktop Publishing and it makes more sense.
- sbuk 14y agoNo, it's moot. Especially given the GP's disclosure. Just because someone has a differing opinion to yours, it doesn't make them a 'fanboy'.
- digitalengineer 14y agoWith regards to your other arguments: I'm talking about Digital Publishing (Magazines, Newspapers, eBooks, on tablets, see http://www.adobe.com/nl/solutions/digital-publishing.html http://www.adobe.com/nl/solutions/digital-publishing.html ). Dreamweaver, Muse, etc play almost no role in that field because Adobe/InDesign are tied-to-the-hip with Postscript. Quark on the other hand is not and is free to utilize HTML.
- Volpe 14y agoHTML is inherently bad for print because of the pixel-inches transition... I'm not sure how quark gets around that, but it's a serious issue. What CSS/HTML does Quark support?
- digitalengineer 14y agoDon't know about Quark but InDesign allows you to create an RGB / pixel based documents (like Illustrator). Suppose Quark works the same way. It's all HTML5. Here is a tutorial I just found http://www.jamie-cross.net/?cat=26 http://www.jamie-cross.net/?cat=26 From a developer's perceptive it might suck, but from a designer's perceptive it's 'good enough' and better than static PDF files like InDesign creates.
- Volpe 14y agoSorry, I wasn't talking about the ability to create pixel based documents, and/or inches based. I was referring to transitioning between them. (i.e. normalizing your ppi of all your artwork and converting a pixel based document into an 'real' width).
