When you create publications, you inevitably do more than just layout and print the page. You write text, design graphics, enhance images, import content, and more, then share your work in print, as PDFs, or as emails. PagePlus X4 makes all this easy, it’s a publishing package designed to be as flexible as you are.
Open PDFs and fully edit their contents with PagePlus X4 just like they are regular publications – so you can source and customise designs from almost anywhere. You can also combine PDFs, or pages from different PDFs, even when they’ve been made by different applications on different computing platforms.
Include photos in your publications and make sure they’re at their very best with the all new PhotoLab. Offering over 70 adjustments, corrections, filters and effects, with some incredible instant artistic styles, your images can really stand out from the page.

And in the Logo Studio, these tools are grouped together in a view that focuses on your drawing or logo without the distraction of seeing the rest of your page design.
