Design Interactive Resume using Adobe InDesign

Adobe InDesign is a standard software or tool for designing creative designs like magazines, newspapers, books brochures, posters, banners, and many more printed items.

You can also use it to create creative responsive documents like PDFs that can be shared online. We are living in a multimedia age or a time where media converge into one document. Let’s put it this way, you have a book with links that can lead to videos and audio to explain more about a subject.

Or you have buttons in your book when clicked change colors, enlarge, shrink, or might lead you to another page.
