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
