Imposition, Bleed, Backgrounds, Page Numbers


Recommended Posts

I have been using PagePlusX9.  It had most of the features I needed but was too full of bugs for me to continue.  I am happy to try Publisher.  However, I am having problems getting started.

  • I see that some people have had difficulty seeing bleed lines and some are seeing them  I can't see bleed lines.  What do I have to do to make them visible?
  • I used backgrounds as assets in PagePlusX9.  Publisher does not seem to come with Background assets.  Can I import the ones I want from PagePlusX9?  If so, how?
  • Page numbering.  How can I set the starting page number?  I want the first page of my story to be page 1, even though it is the 5th actual page in the book.
  • Obviously, I need imposition.  PagePlusX9 was weak here but it did provide imposition of a single signature.  This was better than nothing.  I can't find imposition in Publisher.  Without it, I would need to create a pdf file and then find another application to do the imposition.  I tried simple re-arranging the pages in Publisher - but it then renumbered them!!

On the good side, so far Publisher is MUCH more stable than PagePlusX9.

I got notice, today, of an update to the beta and tried to download it - but nothing happened.  Any ideas?

Cheers,

Robin
