If you need to create and publish physical or digital documents, Adobe InDesign CC is the first app you should look at. Whether you’re looking to publish a book, magazine, poster, or a simple PDF report, InDesign can take on the task.

Inside the InDesign app, you will find a toolbar on the left side with tools to let you build out and modify documents and pages, including those for selection, drawing, typing, shapes, transformation, and navigation.

During the past few years, new features have been added to InDesign CC including better document previewing, document presets for smartphones and tablets, document analytics so you can see how many people have read them, support for digital endnotes and annotations, HTML code exporting, and much more.

Like other Adobe products, InDesign CC is an expensive subscription-based application, which can be paid monthly or pre-paid per year. Other design apps like Quark Xpress and Affinity Designer are available at lower prices or without subscriptions.

 In the publishing software world, Quark has a long history of being a top Adobe InDesign competitor — Quark’s first publishing products, released in 1981, actually predate Adobe entirely. However, Adobe is at the top of the design food chain these days, and Quark has become more of a middle-tier competitor.

Xpress 2018 is the most recent version of Quark’s publishing software and the most full-featured app they've ever released. Xpress offers every modern publishing tool and can help you create physical and digital documents, as well as iOS and Android apps. The 2018 version of Xpress specifically adds in features including OpenType controls, new color fonts support, the ability to directly import InDesign documents, an updated PDF print engine, better HTML5 code exporting, and unlimited Android app creation.

Quark Xpress’ biggest selling point is the fact that you don’t have to subscribe like you do with Adobe InDesign, so once you buy a single license for $399, it’s yours forever. Xpress also claims to have a more intuitive user interface and less clutter than InDesign, so it’s worth trying both out before you commit to one.
