It shares the same core engine as the desktop product. Plugins and scripts written for desktop will run on InDesign Server too. InDesign Server is a developer product and is most often used with Partner solutions who integrate it into a variety of content management, workflow, and printing solutions. InDesign Server can also be programmed to create digital output such as ads or content elements that require well-designed, fixed layouts.
