Swift Publisher overview

What is Swift Publisher?

Swift Publisher is a desktop publishing and page layout application designed exclusively for macOS. The application enables the creation of professional quality print and digital documents across a wide range of project types. It targets small business owners, marketing professionals, educators, authors and creative individuals who require a straightforward solution without the complexity associated with enterprise level software.

The application includes over five hundred professionally designed templates for brochures, flyers, business cards, newsletters, posters, disc labels and other marketing materials. Users can access two thousand clipart images and one hundred image masks in the base package. An optional extension pack provides forty thousand additional illustrations and one hundred fonts. The software supports customizable layouts, two page spread view for simultaneous editing of facing pages, master pages for consistent headers, footers, page numbers and backgrounds and unlimited editing layers for complex designs.

Text handling features include adjustable text boxes, circular and vertical text tools and linked text boxes that flow content across multiple areas. Custom text style creation ensures consistent typography throughout documents with single click application of saved styles. A collection of two dimensional and three dimensional heading presets enhances document appearance. Integration with a dedicated text styling application allows advanced text treatments. Design tools include drawing instruments, smart shapes, gradient fills, shadows, image tiling and a built in image editor. Precise alignment is enabled through a customizable grid and layout guides.

The software supports dynamic data fields and merge printing by sourcing information from the native contacts application or from external text files to batch print labels, business cards and name badges. Barcode generation covers standard formats including QR Code, UPC, Code thirty nine, EAN and ISBN. Media assets can be imported directly from the native photos library or from custom folders. Export options include PNG, PDF, TIFF, JPEG and EPS with selectable color models and bleed settings for print ready output. The application accommodates direct to disc printing with compatible hardware and double sided printing for documents. The solution operates on modern macOS releases and is available in multiple languages for global use.

    “One feature we use is the capacity to print labels merging a list of our contacts. That feature alone justifies the little price we pay.”
