Transcription
Overview
iStudio Publisher can be used for the page layout and word processing of brochures, newsletters, booklets, magazines, posters, adverts, reports, essays, greeting cards and many other document types, of any page size, and with the option of spread editing facing pages.
iStudio Publisher has been designed to simplify desktop publishing and enable users to get started quickly. Users are required to understand one main principle - each element of document content is held by a shape. All shapes act as content containers and can contain any combination of text in columns, text around their outline path, an image, a corner style, a line style, a fill style, a drop shadow and a text runaround ("wraparound"). Users can select and draw standard shapes from the Shape Library, construct shapes using the drawing tools provided, or create default shapes automatically when pasting, dragging in or inserting new content. Inspectors are provided to examine and adjust style and format settings of shapes, text and images.
iStudio Publisher can export colour managed PDF files suitable for use in a prepress workflow for professional print jobs. It can also export to booklet PDF, EPUB or RTF file. iStudio Publisher has an XML based file format and supports Unicode character encoding. Using right-to-left languages, such as Arabic, Persian and Hebrew can be achieved by using RTL Fixer (https://www.rtlfixer.com). Arabic, Hebrew, Indic and East_Asian (CJK) writing systems.
The official user guide "Introduction to iStudio Publisher"[2] has been produced using iStudio Publisher and can be downloaded from the developer's website in PDF format. Video tutorials and a Rapid Start Guide are also available.
iStudio Publisher 1.0.4 received a generally favourable review by Macworld on Mar 9, 2009.[3]
