Objects just snap into place where they are most likely to be needed. Nudge is also customisable to position objects more accurately. I anticipate that this exciting new feature will encourage many to upgrade or migrate to PagePlus. I also expect that it will generate a storm of questions on the support forums as new users struggle with new concepts.
Some may be frustrated if they expect to just open any existing publication, choose the publish to E-book option, and expect it to just work.
Publishing for hand-held E-readers like the Kindle requires an entirely different design approach to print or PDF publishing. If, like me, you have no previous experience in designing E-books, be prepared to read the manual, and to redesign your publications to suit the free-flowing layout used by this format. Any photograph can be edited within PagePlus to remove its background.
The intelligent masking brushes in the Cutout Studio are faster and easier to use than other magic wand tools I have used. Even the most intricate backgrounds can be removed quite easily by adjusting the tolerance and size of the brushes. Hold the Alt key to toggle the brush function between remove and add. Many image backgrounds take just a few strokes of the brush to remove. After removing the background you can preview how it looks with a transparent background, or a uniform tint.
The mask can be saved as a Vector-cropped Bitmap, or as an Alpha-edged Bitmap. Imported PDF documents have fewer text blocks and greater accuracy. Optimise for accuracy or for text flow. Crop to page area leaving registration marks on the pasteboard. Embed fonts to allow document editing if permitted. With improvements to the manual flowing of text between frames, PagePlus is now a viable choice for editing PDF files if the source document is no longer available.
The popular, but outdated LogoPlus was replaced by Logo Studio. Users can edit any group of objects as a Logo within PagePlus, using an alternate interface focused on logo creation. The Logo Studio has its own customisable toolbars, studio tabs, guidelines, and a HowTo tab to help new users learn how to create logos. A wide range of predesigned logos provide the artistically challenged with some design ideas to get them started.
The implementation of OpenType features is particularly slick. For example, enabling Small Capitals, ligatures, or fractions in the Character formatting dialog will use OpenType features automatically if those features exist in a font. Times New Roman contains ligatures for fi and fl. The formatting fly-out can be detached as a floating palette.
Some fonts like Palatino Linotype have OpenType features that use glyphs with no code-points. Unless you know about these special glyphs you may never see them. Palatino also includes a full set of Petite Capitals. The Insert Symbol dialog has a radio button to show Glyphs instead of Unicode. Palatino Linotype is particularly unusual as the glyphs are not sorted in strict Unicode order. However, be aware that since it uses the glyph index, if the font is changed, another font may well have a different glyph in that position or no glyph at all, resulting in the.
An image adjustment studio with Quick Artistic effects, adjustment filters, and special effects. This powerful new feature can almost replace PhotoPlus, though you will still need PhotoPlus if you want to import RAW images or for extensive retouching and painting of images.
Filters are non-destructive — by default the original image is stored along with any changes made. This greatly increases the file size though, so you may prefer to disable the option in raster effects to save adjusted bitmaps. This will also speed up document loading. Photo Lab is so powerful I never need to open PhotoPlus to apply effects to images.
Create custom borders from bitmaps. A wide selection of artistic picture frames is provided, but you can define your own, and they will be shown at the top of the list.
The 1" border on the right was applied to a text frame on an A4 page. Mouse-over the image to see how it looks at 0. Drag them onto the page and then insert a picture, or drag and drop them onto a picture to add the border to the picture. In PPX4 or earlier, to add them to a text frame, table or Quick Shape, open the Line and Border dialog from the Format menu, and select a border from the drop list. To define a custom border, create a graphic with patterns that will repeat on the sides and top, and corners that are used only once.
Import the image into the line and border dialog, and open the widths dialog to define where the image will be split. Drag the lines to define the areas that will repeat and those that will not.
I used an image of about x pixels dpi, but x pixels would probably have been good enough — 96 dpi was not. More versatile shapes can be created by combining or intersecting existing shapes, e. More flexible management of resources. The picture properties dialog has been replaced. Instead the Resource Manager opens showing a thumbnail preview of the picture and details about it.
Images can be exported or replaced from the resource manager. Linked files can be embedded, and embedded files can be made linked. To locate the file in the document, double-click the asset name or click on the locate button. Sort document assets by filename, size, etc. Alignment of objects to the inside, outside, or centre of strokes. The screen shot shows a 0. Table and Calendar Autoformat Editor — Create calendar and table formats to apply to any calendar or table.
Apply fonts, fills, transparency, and borders as part of the cell definition. This custom format for a Year Planner has a Header row for the year and title, another Header row Caption for the days of the week, a Header Column for the months, and footers for other details. The month row repeats until the footer row.
Import most text formatting, footnotes, graphics, tables with formatting, index marks, and paragraph styles. I have added this tutorial section with tips and tricks to get the most out of PagePlus using some of its more advanced features.
Autocorrect option for numbered list breaks data entry for tables. Difficult to place text cursor next to column gutter. Gutters and Rules not saved with Text Frame defaults. Edit in PhotoPlus Opens in Background. Images set to use a line border are not placed at their native resolution and will be distorted unless they have a square aspect ratio.
Opening the Options dialog while editing returns focus to the top of the text frame. Picture frame borders are inverted if created from cropped pictures. Place as raster does not work as expected for EPS images. Table sort is not available for split tables. Windows jump lists do not respond as they should in Windows 7. Calendar Events Manager Calendar events are now managed globally. Convert Text to a Table Tabulated data delimited by commas, tabs, paragraphs or custom characters, can be converted to a Table, which is attached to the text, but can also be detached using the Anchor Properties dialog.
Two new scale factors on the Publish to PDF dialog are designed for exporting ISO size documents to the next smaller or larger size, e. Overprinting on a per-object basis for line, fill, and text content. Overprint simulation is also provided to quickly check your work in PagePlus before exporting.
Guide Tool The new guide tool makes it easier to copy guides to other pages or layers, to move pairs of parallel guides together, to position guides accurately using the Transform Tab, or to nudge guides with the cursor keys. Hunspell Support Spell-checking and hyphenation dictionaries for languages from Afrikaans to Zulu that are supported by LibreOffice can be installed for use with PagePlus.
Example: To install a dictionary for Hungarian:— 1. Master Page Improvements Master pages can be renamed and assigned to multiple selected pages at once using the Pages Tab. Text Spacing Improvements New options on the Paragraph formatting dialog allow space above and below paragraphs to be ignored for adjacent text styles, added instead of using the highest value, and to honour the space before a paragraph at the start of a text frame.
Tool Feedback As in DrawPlus, objects can now show live feedback when being resized. Recommendations If installing from a DVD, there are options not to install the extra fonts, samples, templates, etc. To work around this issue the installer can be extracted to a folder using 7-Zip , then setup. Edit the style sheets to check that everything is as you want it before you get to the final stages of your publication.
Optionally, remove the 10 point spacing after each paragraph, and use a first line indent instead. Modify or add shortcuts for each context, and save the keyboard profile. To save time, download my Customised Keyboard Profile and copy it to the Accelerators folder, then select it in Options. The shortcuts are shown on the menus. Download my Cheat Sheet and edit it to keep track of any changes.
Customise the Toolbars and menus. If you have a or aspect ratio monitor, try moving the toolbars from the left side to the top of the window. This gives quicker access to the Studios and reduces mouse movement.
Remove submenus wherever possible. For example, remove the Publications submenu from the View, Toolbars menu, and add items to the View menu to show or hide the publication tabs. If the publication tabs are on auto, the Toolbars submenu is not needed as right-click on any toolbar will show it.
Buttons can be added to the menu bar. Customise the Studios to suit your preferences. Save your workspace profile for future use or for sharing with others. Be mindful that the toolbars and menus have been heavily customised in this profile, but its easy to switch back to the default profile. There is space for a floating Studio tab on top of the menu bar. With large 24 pixel icons on a x monitor there is enough space for all of the icons that I need on one toolbar, with the context toolbar below.
Install my free OpenType fonts , which have a wide range of glyphs, or buy some Professional fonts with OpenType features. Get a font manager like MainType if you have a large font collection, or get the free AMP font viewer. Open the Fonts Tab, and mark your most used fonts as favourites. Then they will appear at the top of the font selection drop list. However, if you set up your styles properly, you will spend less time selecting fonts.
It also saves the most recently used fonts. Colours and Swatches The Colour Tab has been enhanced with a new mode to select colours from a picture. Edit in External Program Instead of Edit in PhotoPlus, the Image context toolbar now shows a drop list of programs that may be used to edit an image.
EPUB3 The latest specification for electronic publications is better suited to fixed layout publications. Paragraph Tab The most frequently used paragraph formatting options are now available from a Tab on the right of the workspace.
Column Rules The text frame properties dialog has an option to add column rules to the gutter to the right of the current column. Table Format Gallery The table format editor in previous versions has been updated with a more accessible method for editing, saving, and applying table formats. Complex Fills The swatches tab now contains plasma fills, radial fills, square, and three or four colour fills. It does not include color management or studios for extracting and enhancing images.
Nor does it contain some advanced text handling tools or controls for data management, like mail merge options. Free YouTube Downloader. IObit Uninstaller. Internet Download Manager. Advanced SystemCare Free. VLC Media Player. MacX YouTube Downloader. Microsoft Office YTD Video Downloader. Adobe Photoshop CC. VirtualDJ Avast Free Security. WhatsApp Messenger. Talking Tom Cat. Clash of Clans. Subway Surfers.
