Newspaper folks! - Multi-Ad Creator to InDesign

[robg2251]

I've always been a big fan of Multi-Ad Creator. ?I see the industry in the future leaning toward an Adobe workflow. ?I'm not at all ready to make the switch from Creator to InDesign, but I have considered it. ?I ?believe InDesign has topped Quark as a layout/design program. ?The functionality in the program beats Quark and far surpasses Creators abilities. ?
My other reason for this thought, is hiring for Graphic Designers. ?Although learning Creator isn't too difficult, colleges are beginning to teach InDesign as the main layout program. ?
I guess to sum this up, the reason for this shpeal - ?The main problem we would have is opening a Creator document into InDesign. ?Right now, it isn't possible. ? I spoke to Adobe, who said they are well aware of the problem - but as we know, it takes a bunch of requests to get something implemented into a program. ?
If anyone is with me on this, please take a minute to fill out this form and make the suggestion to Adobe to be able to open a Multi-Ad Creator document into InDesign. ?Thanks! ?

There's also been a small movement towards InDesign based pagination systems. DTI uses InDesign 2.0. They're working on the InDesign CS version.

Yeah, we're demo-ing new editorial systems now. Baseview, SCS, Sacotech - all have moved to InDesign, and it appears to be their main program they are developing for. All support Quark still, but they showed the demo's in InD. Good program.
