Switch Kit 09: Switching to DesignCraft — for InDesign Users

A practical, neutral 15-page PDF for people who use Adobe InDesign software and want to try DesignCraft, the free open-source page-layout app from the ArtCraft team.

Inside: the two tools at a glance · a self-assessment (good fit or better to wait) · what feels familiar and what is still in progress · a five-file compatibility test · plug-ins, AI and workflow notes · timing your exit from your subscription without surprise fees · protecting your work before you leave · safe installation · a gentle two-week migration plan · a printable checklist.

Written by Julian Beaumont, a former photographer, video journalist and marketing professional with 20 years of hands-on experience with these tools. Edition 1, November 2026 (facts checked 31 October 2026). PDF, A4, English.
