InDesign Client

Sometimes you need to go back to paper and print some product data out. The industry-standard application to do this is Adobe InDesign and because of this, we’ve created a special InDesign Client application to allow you to get your data quickly and easily out of pimsimple and into print.

We’re not the only PIM to offer a way of publishing your PIM data to InDesign, but we’re only one to offer it for FREE.  That’s right, anyone, even those using the “free” tier of pimsimple are free to download the client software and start creating catalogs, mailers, reports and price lists.

Not only that but we’re the only ones to have a client that is so simple to use and set up we can teach you how to use it in a series of simple quick videos. No training, no difficult manuals, not complicated tags to learn, no InDesign plug-ins to buy.

FAQs

  • The easiest way to explain it is to watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlmdJ8LMqsc

  • How many designers can use this?

    As many as you want. Copy the app to each machine and set up the connection to your pimsimple system. The InDesign client doesn't use any "user seats".

  • Does it work on Windows?

    Not at the moment but if we get enough demand we would consider it. Please email us at hello@pimsimple.com if you'd like to see it on Windows.

  • What versions of InDesign does it work with?

    We’ve tested in on many versions from CC2014 to CC2021 so it should work with any version from the last 6-7 years.

  • What Mac OS version do I need?

    macOS High Sierra (10.13) – macOS Monterey  (12.0)
    (Latest release of major version is required, such as 10.13.6)
    4GB RAM minimum
    (8GB recommended)

  • Does it work with QuarkXPress?

    What year are you asking from? No and it doesn’t work with PageMaker, “hot-metal” or the Caxton Printing Press 

  • Will it make my designers happy?

    No nothing will do that I'm afraid.

  • Seriously though... where's the manual?

    Yeah it's easy to use but a manual is always a good reference guide. You can find a guide of all the tag options here https://pimsimple.com/indesign-client-tags/
