Reviewed on 2007-09-26 Do NOT upgrade if you do books If you use InDesign for books requiring indexes, do NOT upgrade to this version. InDesign CS3 (for both Windows and Macs) has serious problems with indexing multi-document books that does not exist in CS2. It drops entries and scrambles page numbers seemingly at random, while giving no warning that something has gone wrong. Any index it produces cannot be trusted. Imagine a publisher printing 50,000 copies of a book with a defective index and you get a sense of just how dreadful this problem is. Adobe could be sued for a flaw this serious. This bug was reported on Adobe forums back in late April, five months ago. I've talked to Adobe programmers and staff about it. They can't do any more than suggest a script that combines multiple documents into one, where the problem apparently doesn't exist. The real fix is awaiting upper management approval of a "point-release," which must mean the CS3.1 version. But this fix doesn't require a point-release. Every few weeks, Adobe's updater patches CS3 for some trivial reason, typically tweaking Adobe Bridge to sell more stock photos. They could do the same with this dreadful index bug. Adobe CS3 contains quite a few improvements that make the upgrade worthwhile for most users. But if you create indexes from multidocument books, I suggest you wait until this problem is fixed before upgrading. And if you don't hear otherwise, that means InDesign CS3.1 --Michael W.

Reviewed on 2007-08-23 Indesign CS3 Indesign CS3 is by far the superior layout software on the market. The reason for my poor rating is Adobe's poor customer service. 3 hours spent on the phone being passed around from department to department trying to resolve a licensing issue. Ridiculous.

Reviewed on 2007-04-28 Remains the best publishing software This is a highly worthwhile upgrade, especially for those of us with Intel Mac Systems. There are plenty of new features, and it runs faster and is better integrated with photoshop and other adobe software. This remains the current publishing software of choice. For those migrating from Microsoft Publisher, you will find that this is the closest that Adobe has ever come to making things as simple to use.
