What it is
iStudio Publisher is Mac page-layout and desktop-publishing software for documents such as newsletters, brochures, flyers, booklets, reports, posters, and yearbooks. Users can begin with a designed template or a blank document in any size. Layout tools include master pages, automatic page numbering, spread editing, text columns, linked text flow, and text wrapping around shapes. The app supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, GIF, PSD, PDF, EPS, and AI image types. Finished work can be printed or exported as PDF, text-only EPUB, or RTF; print-shop PDFs can include high-resolution images, CMYK colors, and embedded fonts. The maker lists version 1.7.5 for macOS 14 and later, including M-series chip support, and says it runs on Sonoma, Sequoia, and Tahoe. A fully functional 30-day trial permits saving, printing, and exporting without watermarks and requires no credit card details. After the trial, those actions are disabled, though existing documents can still be opened and viewed. The App Store listing notes that Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text input is not supported.
