DTP

Brochure creation software

DTP stands for desktop publishing, the use of computers and software to create documents with professional-quality text and graphics.

The term emerged in the 1980s when personal computers first enabled individuals to design newsletters, brochures, and books that previously required professional typesetters: She learned DTP to produce the company newsletter.

DTP also appears in medical contexts as an abbreviation for the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine.
