Non Freeway Question

Hi All

I am totally mac based and have been asked by a client to produce a property advert page for them to self edit and print (change text and photos etc)

I have done the graphics etc and can use this for the basis of a background.

They would like a publisher file, so this is where I become a little stuck.

What would make this simple is publisher for a mac, so anyone have any ideas.

Thanks

I believe that Publisher can open a PDF – can you make a simple layout in InDesign, export in that format, and see if your client can make sense of it?

Need to leave them with editable text and picture boxes.
InDesign, wash your mouth out Walt, for better or worse 20+ year QuarkXpress user
Worse case, I will do it in word…

Try doing it in QXP, then. Anything that can make a PDF should be enough to start with.

I started DTP using QXP in 1989, so I’m a long-term user as well. (I taught a university class in Quark, Illustrator and Photoshop for three years, too.) But when it came time to buy a copy with my own money, Adobe bundled ID 1.0 with a new Mac I needed anyway, and that pretty much changed my mind. That and Quark were being horrible about Mac OS X at the time.

Reply was a tongue in cheek reply, not meant to offend

Yes I agree, Quark to expensive, I bought version 9 with my own money. Not fussed about 10.
I’ve just used it for that long, find it quicker to get the job done.
