InDesign Feature Support



The PrintUI web app cannot mimic every feature of InDesign, partly due to limitations of Flash itself, and
partly because it would take many, many years of effort to match every feature that Adobe has created.

of InDesigns feature over time. This document shows the various features that we have delivered since
October of 2012.
