Question

Where is the direct download link to InDesign 2017?

I have had nothing but issues with the Creative Cloud app, itself, so resorting to direct downloads of the apps themselves. I did manage to find Ps and Ai 2017, but not InDesign. Can someone with more savvy than me please post the link to the direct download since I CC continues to unsuccessfully download it to my iMac?

On my brand new PC, my $50/mo creative cloud app would not download 3 tools. Lightroom, InDesign, and Bridge. My Mac has similar issues. The PIRATE BOOTLEGS INSTALL FINE. Then the cloud will approve it and legalize it. But seriously guys. If it doesn't work for multiple users on multiple platforms, you have a problem. Just fix it.

Hi,

Please try direct download of InDesign from Adobe Creative Cloud desktop apps | Adobe Creative Cloud

Hi Sanyam,

this link is not "friction" free.


What I await would be a downloadable installer like a dmg file (Mac) or an exe (Windows) file that I could download without:

1. Getting a message that my OS is not able to install the app and then I could get not further in the process.
Note: The machine that I am using for downloads might not be the one I'd like to install the app.

2. Asking me about my knowledge status using InDesign.

3. A utility that installs InDesign and not a downloadable dmg or exe file for installation.

Thanks,
Uwe

Hi,

As of now this is available way to download InDesign. We are also in process to have direct link available(dmg or zip) to install InDesign.

Watch out here for further updates - Download Creative Cloud apps

If you're having problems with the Creative Cloud desktop app, I'd suggest posting in the Creative Cloud Download & Install forum:

Creative Cloud Download & Install

Here is a tutorial I wrote about working with th Creative Cloud desktop app, including how to reinstall it, which might help:

Thank you for the thorough article. Since Creative Cloud installer has been corrupted this does not exactly help. Closer, though. I am using Adobe remove tool to wipe my iMac.

Adobe has not yet released these for InDesign and several other CC 2017 tools, so we are still waiting...

In the meantime, you may be able to use the CC 2015 direct download links (a complete set) instead.

You may update the CC Desktop app. And install it from there

As I mentioned in the OP, I cannot use the Creative Cloud installer.
