Getting Started
Welcome to Adobe® InDesign® CC (2019 release), a powerful page-design and production
application that offers precision, control, and seamless integration with other Adobe professional
graphics software. Using InDesign, you can produce professional-quality, full-color documents
and print them using a variety of output devices, including desktop printers, high-resolution
imaging devices, and high-volume color printing presses. You can also design publications for a
broad range of electronic devices, such as tablets, smartphones, and readers, and export InDesign
documents in several formats, including PDF, HTML, and EPUB.
Writers, artists, designers, and publishers can communicate to a broader audience than ever
before through an unprecedented variety of media. InDesign supports this with its seamless
integration with other Creative Cloud (CC) components.

Installing the software
Before you begin using Adobe InDesign CC Classroom in a Book (2019 release), make sure that
your system is set up correctly and that you’ve installed the proper software and hardware.
The Adobe InDesign CC software is not included with this book; you must purchase the software
separately (visit adobe.com/products/indesign). In addition to Adobe InDesign CC, some lessons
in this book have steps that can be performed with other Adobe applications. You must install
these applications from Adobe Creative Cloud onto your computer. 
Follow the onscreen instructions.

Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app
In addition to Adobe InDesign CC, this training requires the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop
application, which provides a central location for managing the dozens of apps and services
included in a Creative Cloud membership. You can use the Creative Cloud desktop application
to sync and share files, manage fonts, access libraries of stock photography and design assets,
and showcase and discover creative work in the design community.
The Creative Cloud desktop application is installed automatically when you download your first
Creative Cloud product. If you have Adobe Application Manager installed, it auto-updates to the

Creative Cloud desktop application.
If the Creative Cloud desktop application is not installed on your computer, you can download it
from the Download Creative Cloud page on the Adobe website
(creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud) or the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop apps page

Classroom in a Book fonts
Most of the fonts used in the Classroom in a Book lesson files are installed with Adobe
InDesign. Some fonts are not installed with InDesign but are instead available through Adobe
Fonts, a font-subscription service from Adobe that offers access to a vast library of fonts for use
in desktop applications and on websites.
The Adobe Fonts service is integrated with InDesign’s font selection features and the Creative
Cloud Desktop application. Adobe Fonts is included with your Creative Cloud subscription.
Internet access is required to activate Adobe Fonts.
