The person who sent the author the design document is at fault here. If you're hired to do a job, use whatever tools you want as long as your output meets minimum standards of quality. If the tools aren't there yet, it's up to you to bridge the gap.

Unfortunately this doesn't hold up in the real world, where managers dictate which tools are used, and directors dictate which are even going to be purchased for use. Sometimes the gap can't be bridged, but the onus is certainly not on the employee to bridge it.
