Hello, I'm considering switching from LucidPress to InDesign but want to know if I will be able to work with InDesign on my Chromebook running Chrome OS. 

Correct answer Manan Joshi

InDesign runs only on WIN and MAC OS, so i guess the answer is no

I see that we can install WIN on Chromebook i am not sure if that is an official way but if you do that, check the minimum system requirement of InDesign to see if it will work on it or not

A Chromebook is very cool and inexpensive but it isn’t for running serious apps. It doesn’t run Windows.

Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out. As Manan pointed out correctly, InDesign is a desktop app and it works with Windows or macOS. You may post a feature request for InDesign app on Chromebook at Adobe InDesign UserVoice https://indesign.uservoice.com/
This forum is the best way of communicating with the Engineering and Product Management teams regarding issues and suggestions so they can be implemented in future releases. 

Hope it helps.

 

Regards,

Ashutosh
