Creating document templates in Indesign, editing in Acrobat

Question

Hello, hoping someone can help me. I have googled to try and find the answer like I would usually but have had no luck!

I've been asked to create some templates for policy and procedural documents, and to get the best looking documents I would ideally want to create these in Indesign. However, we're talking a lot of text changes - I would essentually be giving someone the 'tools' (where the headers go, style etc) and the colleague in question would be wanting to drop text in via Adobe Acrobat.

Is this even possible? I've always had to use Word previously for these kinds of documents and I hate designing in Word, it's horrible to format things and just doesn't look as good.

Hi @7274694-warman,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

While editing text is possible with Acrobat, the advised method would be to do the editing in InDesign before exporting to Acrobat.

Acrobat can be used as the final resort to make minimal changes, but most of the heavy lifting can be done in InDesign.

Hope this helps.
