Cheatsheet Pages / Adobe Free Alternatives

Free alternatives to InDesign — DesignCraft and Scribus

Page layout and print-ready output without the subscription.

In the cheatsheet, the flask mark means early alpha (it runs, but do not bet production work on it) and the check mark means mature and stable. Every alternative listed is free; the saving is the Adobe subscription you stop paying.

cargo run --release
brew install --cask scribus

Good to know

Scribus brings CMYK/spot-color and ICC color management for print work today; DesignCraft is the alpha in the Rust suite.
