PageStream 4.0

With all the work going on internally for the PageStream Windows final release, we realize that getting 4.0 finished is a top priority. PageStream4.0 is the first major update to PageStream in over 3 years. We have been saving your feature requests, looking at the current industry "leaders" (we use that term loosely around here!), and thinking of ways to improve an already great product. Obviously, the trick has been to try and deliver the features needed and still keep the same easy of use that puts us heads above the rest.

Features such as indexing, table of contents, complex page numbers, and figure numbering make long documents a snap. Editable kerning pairs, tracking tables, and hanging punctuation make PageStream's typographic capabilities even more outstanding. Doing color work? Than you will impressed with the color trapping of objects and text. Trying to generate both print and online materials? Let PDF and HTML export help you. PageStream4 has something new to offer in every step creating anything from color pages to technical drawings to newsletters to books.
