Free Desktop Publishing Software

Desktop publishing somehow plays an important role in crafting catchy advertisements. It goes beyond the plain text-centric word processors giving you the power to exercise your creativity. However, most desktop publishing programs are too complicated for novice users to understand. More so, some packages are expensive that it can put a strain on your business’ budget.  Publisher Lite is a desktop publishing program giving you a quick and easy way to create professional looking prints. If you are looking for a sleek solution to your page layout needs, then this multimedia app is for you.

Editing Features

Publisher Lite offers professional advertising prints without the headache of fumbling around unfamiliar software. A free version of the Publisher Plus, it offers more than 45 ready-made templates for various marketing materials, including flyers, brochures, newsletters, adverts, calendars, and more. With this feature, you only need to add the details to your advertising material, no need to create the entire layout from scratch. 

But, if you want to put a personal touch to your layout, Publisher Lite gives you creative freedom. It comes with hundreds of cliparts that you can add to your prints for a more lively look. You can also search the web for images inside the app. More so, Publisher Lite has more than 50 professional backgrounds and over 15 photo frames and masks that you can use to create your marketing materials. 

Publisher Lite comes with various basic and advanced editing features, including the ability to apply any preset object or text in one click. It also allows you to reposition and resize any object with ease. More, it lets you select multiple objects and reposition or resize them as a whole.

App Usability and Support

Aside from its wide selection of art resources, what users would love most about Publisher Lite is its easy-to-use design. The app has a fairly typical interface that you see on most desktop publishers. The selection of the pre-made templates is displayed at the left side toolbar while the editing assets are placed at the right. The work area takes up most of the app’s space to give you a clear picture of the layout. Publisher Lite lets users set the page size and orientation and even supports customizing page margins. It also allows you to create and edit multiple pages.
