The way you work

Large workspace canvas for off-page construction and storage.

Easy-to-use master page.

Create documents of up to 999 pages, Landscape or Portrait, Letter or Business Card, standalone or on a spread, the choice is yours. Once you have decided on the type of document, you may choose to let iStudio Publisher set up a default text container on every page and automatically flow text throughout the document.

Any content you add to the master page will be replicated on all pages throughout a document.

Create any shape and add text, pictures and effects to it at the same time.

Be exact with your custom margins and grid, snapping to them if you like. Or you may prefer to turn them off, work in Preview mode, and "freestyle it".

Zoom in to 5000% for really close up work.

Kick-start your designs with standard shapes from the handy Shape Library.

You can draw any shape you can think of using the Multi-Line Tool heads-up display (HUD). As you draw, click on different settings in the HUD and let your imagination run wild!

Use the Reshaping Tool to edit node positions and Bezier handles of shapes from the Shape Library or drawn with the Multi-Line Tool.

Export your masterpiece as a PDF to show off to your friends.

Manipulate those images

Scale them, stretch them, crop them, tile them. You can now resize, position and rotate any image with complete freedom within its containing shape. Any part of an image lying outside its shape remains hidden, so you can just focus on the parts that matter.

Use the new Image Tool to jump into a shape and move and resize an image by hand, or use the fitting and alignment options to let iStudio Publisher do the hard work for you.
