Learn how to use the Adobe integration with InDesign Server and a dedicated Render Client.

Installation InDesign Server

Prerequisites

  1. Check the software- and hardware requirements.

  2. Know the InDesign Server serial number.  You get the serial number from your Adobe vendor where you have bought the software.

  3. Know the End Customers Adobe ID. The reseller always orders the license from Adobe by specifying the end customer. Therefore, the end customers Adobe ID must be used during installation. Ask the end customer for his Adobe ID or if he doesn't have one, let him create a new one at  Adobe.com .
