Ok, I see what you're saying. Do you have "Preview" mode off? Go to View - Preview Mode and uncheck that. That made a difference for me. Annette

Bryce, I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you say you can grab it but it's blank in that space. When I put something at the top of the pasteboard, yes, I guess I can also grab it if I know it's there (because I know I put something there) but as soon as you click off of it, the handles go away so I guess it's kind of invisible. Then you can click on the area where you know you put something and the handles are selected. This is for the top and bottom of the document, which Mark Daniel explained above. However, there is pasteboard on each side of the document where you can place things and they are visible, so that is handy. Annette

Got it, thanks so much for the quick response. I will eventually watch all of the available videos on this new, wonderful program, but I'm trying to get a couple things out to clients first using this program so I come up with some questions. Kind of like learning a new language but I'll get there! Annette

Hi everyone, happy launch day! I have a question about things in the pasteboard. I read about turning on Preview mode to be able to see things in the pasteboard. Works fine, also turning off view - view mode - clip to canvas, works great. My question is, I see that I can view things that are put on the sides of my document, but they disappear when putting them at the top or bottom. So I extended the bleed on the document setup and this seems to work, but is there another way to be able to see things that are put in the bottom or top of the pasteboard? This method will work for me, just checking to see if there was a better way.

Ok, thanks so much for getting back to me. I'll hope it's on the wishlist! Annette

Hi everyone, I was wondering if there is a "do not print" function in Publisher yet? I read some older threads where folks wanted this but I wasn't sure if it was implemented yet? I also see that I can turn off a layer but then you can't see the text block or item. I'm wanting to see the text block in this case, but not have it print. Thanks so much, Annette

Oh, great, I didn't know it would do that. I'll check it out. Thanks so much for the info! Annette

Joachim, if I uninstall Acrobat, I don't think I will have the ability to create pdf's from Publisher, will I? I could probably export the layout and have Preview generate the pdf but I need to be able to select my own settings, depending on the print shop I'm sending the artwork too. Most of them have their own pre-sets that they like me to use. Bad_Wolf, thank you for suggesting Nuance Power PDF. I am familiar with their dictation software but didn't know they had a pdf program, I will look into that!

Hi everyone, very excited about this new program! I am hoping to, one day, be able to kiss adobe goodby but I have a question. I've been using adobe products for so long, it's always been so automatic to make a pdf through whatever program I was using, so now I am wondering how to make a print ready pdf without acrobat? I am using a macbook pro and I know I have Preview installed but is that good enough for print ready files? I'm currently paying for Creative Cloud, and using multiple programs and I think there is the option to just pay for 1 program but if there is something else out there, I would love to get away from adobe all together. Thanks so much for any help/advise. Annette
