Herff Jones provides a group of yearbook-specific extensions to support Adobe InDesign Creative Suite 5.0, 5.5 and 6, as well as Creative Cloud (CC). If you have been using InDesign for some time, you’ll recognize many of these extensions – Image In for placing photos, Index Builder for gathering entries, Panel Builder for flowing portraits, and others – but now you’ll see them in a redesigned interface that functions within the newer versions of the Adobe software.
The video below provides an overview of the extensions. We recommend you watch it to get the “lay of the land.”
