Adobe® Digital Publishing Suite for higher educationDeliver engaging campus communications and learning experiences with a complete solution for publishing interactive magazines, newspapers, brochures, books, and learning materials to tablet devices.

Adobe Digital Publishing Suite integrates with Adobe InDesign® software to give higher education institutions everything they need to create, distribute, and optimize digital publications for a range of tablets.

Increase communication impact and reachFrom campus brochures to scholarly publications to student magazines, your institution’s communications play a significant role in promoting your brand and helping you recruit, retain, and educate the best students.

Consisting of hosted services and viewer technology, Digital Publishing Suite works with InDesign to help you transform your print publications into rich digital experiences. Reach students, faculty, and staff more easily—and use interactive content to immerse them more deeply—in key publications including:

And because digital publications are dynamic, you can quickly push changes out to all editions and formats.

Promote sustainability and reduce costsNot only does digital distribution of campus publications and learning content help you reach more people—often more effectively—on their favorite tablet devices, but it can also help your institution reduce its impact on the environment and boost its bottom line. The move to digital publishing supports your sustainability goals as you strive to go as paperless as possible. It also enables you to avoid the high costs associated with traditional paper-based publishing. With Digital Publishing Suite, your institution can:
