How to start and create documents

Where Can I Find the Registration Code?
Owners of the download version of the program are getting the registration (license) code in the purchase confirmation e-mail.
Owners of the boxed version receive the code inside the product package. The code is printed on the back side of CD's envelope.

The license code you gave me isn't being accepted by my program. How can I register it?
Please carefully Copy&Paste your license code into the License dialog. Or, if you have boxed edition, enter it manually — be attentive: don't use 'O' character, type only 0 (zero) digit in the license code. Please pay attention that there is also no capital letter 'I', but only 1 (one) digit in the license code.

My logo is an .eps file. How can I add it to my document?
You can simply drag-and-drop the logo file into Swift Publisher. Or you can do the following: Save your logo as PDF from the application, used for its creation (or other graphical package). Then in Swift Publisher, choose the File->Place Image command to insert this PDF image into the document. The quality will not be lost.

Can I add my own artwork to the images supplied in the application?
Yes. Select Custom Folder in the collection switch. Navigate to the folder you wish and its contents will be displayed in the left part of the document window, same as a built-in clipart collection.

Can I use text symbols as clipart?
You have discovered a new source of good-looking clip arts! You can use symbols from the Mac OS X symbol fonts. In the Font Panel select Show Characters from the pop-up menu. You'll get Character Palette window. Toggle on the text editing mode and double-click on the symbol, it will be pasted in the text.

How can I make all objects the same color as that one?
It's easy! Select the required object. Its color buttons in the Inspector window will get its color. Drag&Drop the color with the mouse to assign it to other objects.

Can I export my document to PDF or other file format?
Swift Publisher can export to PDF, TIFF and JPEG file formats.

Printing

Does the licensed version turn off the line "Trial Version"?
This line will disappear immediately after you purchase the full licensed version of the software and register it with the license code.
