Add content
Fill your frames with your chosen content — text, images or rich media — and refine your design for maximum impact.
Publish
Export in the formats of your choice, including EPUB, PDF, HTML and EPS or create print separations for a printer.
Text wrapping

Imagery in tables
Punch up your tables and infographics with images to hold the eye.
