InDesign Turns 20 Years Old

Where were you on August 31, 1999? Downloading your favorite song from Napster on a new 56k modem? Stockpiling canned goods for Y2K? Waiting in line at the bookstore for the new Harry Potter? Folks at Adobe were busy changing the landscape of publishing by releasing a new program called InDesign.

Today, more than 91 million unique InDesign PDFs are generated annually. That’s got to be over a billion pages, give or take.
To mark the occasion, Adobe has published a celebratory blog posts, videosfont packs, and this awesome infographic (download a PDF version here).
