This version isn't signed for Windows yet: if SmartScreen warns you, choose More info › Run anyway. Why?
Publish by Zaweba is a page layout app for the things people pin up, post and hand out: flyers, newsletters, posters, menus, certificates, cards, tickets and leaflets. Start from one of 20 templates or a blank page, flow text through linked boxes across pages and let it wrap neatly round pictures and shapes.
Pub Converter by Zaweba brings your old .pub files across. When you are done, export a print-ready PDF with bleed and crop marks, a lighter PDF for the web, a picture of each page, or print it yourself.

Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Linked text frames
Text flows from box to box, even onto another page. A red plus shows when a story has more to say.
Pictures with wrap
Insert, paste or drop pictures, crop them inside the frame, and text wraps square, tight to the outline or top and bottom.
Master pages
Set headers, footers and page numbers once on a master page and they appear on every page that uses it.
A document palette
Name your colours, then change one to update it everywhere it is used, across text, fills and lines.
Snap, align and arrange
Rulers with guides, snapping to margins, frames and the grid, align and distribute, group, lock and rotate.
Print-ready PDF
3 mm bleed, crop marks, fonts embedded and pictures at full resolution, ready for a print shop.
Start from a template
Twenty templates cover the jobs that come up most: event and sale flyers, a concert poster, 2-page and 4-page newsletters, restaurant and café menus, certificates, folded birthday and thank-you cards, business cards, tickets, a trifold leaflet and a brochure. Swap in your words and pictures and you are done.
- 20 built-in templates
- A4, A5, A3, Letter, DL, postcard, business card or custom
- Single or facing pages
From screen to print shop
Publish measures text from the font files themselves, so what you see on screen is exactly what lands in the PDF and in pictures of the page. Export print-ready with bleed and crop marks, a web PDF with smaller pictures, or PNG and JPEG pages at up to 300 dpi.
- Bleed, crop marks, trim and bleed boxes
- Web PDF with pictures reduced to 150 dpi
- PNG or JPEG at 96, 150 or 300 dpi

Publish FAQ
Can I open my old .pub files?
Yes, with Pub Converter by Zaweba installed. File > Import .pub converts the file and opens it as a new publication, and the converter reports anything it couldn't keep.
Will a print shop accept my PDF?
The print-ready PDF has 3 mm bleed, crop marks, trim and bleed boxes, embedded fonts and full-resolution pictures. Colours are RGB, so ask your printer if they need CMYK.
Does it do mail merge or spell check?
No. For letters to everyone on a list, use Write by Zaweba with the address book in Labels by Zaweba.
