What it is

iStudio Publisher is Mac page-layout software for making newsletters, brochures, flyers, booklets, reports, posters and yearbooks. Start with a designed template or a blank page of any size. Layout features include master pages, automatic page numbering, spread editing, text columns, linked text flow and text wrapping around shapes. Supported image types include JPEG, TIFF, PNG, GIF, PSD, PDF, EPS and AI. Documents can be printed or exported as PDF, text-only EPUB or RTF; print-shop PDFs can include high-resolution images, CMYK colors and embedded fonts. The listed version 1.7.5 supports macOS 14 and later, including M-series chips, and runs on Sonoma, Sequoia and Tahoe. The 30-day trial permits saving, printing and exporting without watermarks.
