Hi.

I am using Adobe XD for my Pitch Decks and Treatments. I think its the easierst of all the Adobe products for that use case. However, there are some limitations to XD as far as formatting goes. I wish XD had the capabilities like InDesign in the UI of XD. Also, what's a huge issue is that when saving to PDF there is no compression feature. It saved the PDF as a massive file. It would be so amazing to get options for pdf compression build in.

    @mynameismicky It keeps the high quality when you export as a PDF. If you wanted to reduced the size, you can double-click it and reduce size PDF. XD is mant for prototyping and wireframes; it just so happen that you can also do similar InDesign or Illustrator work too. 

    Because it is under maintenance, there will no chance 'in hell' this will become a feature, or fix it. It's a take it or leave it.
