Re: Xara X1 ... how to make multi-page pdf?
Hi Helen,
You can use Xara to manage your pictures and get them ready to be exported into some form of DTP package but to use it as the main way of making a multi page PDF file has a few difficulties. Firstly as you suggest you can make at multipage doc. by assigninh a layer to a page then by switching off and on you can print that page. When using Extreme to generate your PDF the export routine flattens your layers bringing everything one to one. You woulld need to use a PDF file maker and "Print to that Driver" something like Adobe Acro and they are other ones that are avaiable to download but that is all hassel.
My recommendations would be to get a hold of Serif's Page Plus and I believe that version 7 is now free both to download or get from one of the mags. This programme is much better, faster and has the ability to produce a high quality output much higher than any MS software. If you want the ability to produce PDF's from this programme you would need to spend £28 for discs and postage from Serif for version 10. Give it a try, it is very good value, and it comes with a huge amount of resourses and templates to give your newsletter a more professional look and whats more it is very easy to use.
