The
launch of Multi-Ad Creator sparked a revolution in the way
ads were produced. The install base for Creator quickly
grew and it became the preferred application for ad production
professionals.
Creator Professional is the cross-platform replacement for
the current desktop products. This new product is written
on a platform-independent code-base, providing Windows users
with the same ad production capabilities as Mac users.
All Features Included - We take pride in the fact that Creator
Professional is more complete out of the box than any other
desktop publishing program. With Creator Professional, we
furnish you with a complete program: no extensions or plug-ins
required. Much of Creator Professional's functionality is
unavailable in other layout software even with the addition
of Extensions and Plug-ins, but if you tried, you would
well exceed $3,000 per copy of layout software on your own.
Even then you could not match the way Creator Professional
delivers its features in an easy-to-use and learn interface.
If you develop advertising or promotional materials, MultiAd
Creator is made for the way you work. This sophisticated
layout software is ideal for design and production, with
powerful tools to boost your efficiency and creativity.
New
key features in MultiAd Creator 8
Soft
Shadows:
This feature opens up new creative possibilities for
professional graphic designers. You can apply a soft
shadow to any element, path or graphic. Live text or
text that has been converted to a path can also have
a soft shadow. You can adjust the horizontal and vertical
offset as well as the radius to create just the right
special effect.

Container
Self-Scaling:
This feature allows any element to be assigned its own
individual container setting. This setting supersedes
any previous setting on the tool itself. There is no
need for you to go back and review or change the tool
setting every time you wish to contain an item in the
element. You can simply double-click to select the element
info and choose from four container settings.
|

|
Sort:
This feature allows you to place a text block with information
that contains names, prices or addresses, and have the
option to resort that text block to accommodate a change
in the desired order of the entries. You can resort
the prices or numbers in ascending or descending order.
Words, such as names or addresses, can also be resorted
in a different order as well. Creator provides the option
to select sections of the text to resort, no matter
if the sort criteria is the first word in the paragraph,
the last word or any word in between.

 |
Multi-Column
Text:
This feature divides a placed text block into the desired
number of columns and allows for a user-defined gutter
width. You simply place a text block, click on a text
block setting and fill in the number of columns and
gutter width, and Creator will replace the original
text block. This feature allows you to quickly define
a space with a text block and move on immediately to
formatting.

Edit
Starting Point of Text on a Path:
Use text on a path feature to apply text to the contours
of a Creator shape element (rectangles, ovals, polygons
and paths). The insertion point will default to the
beginning of the path. You can now change the starting
point of the text by repositioning the handle.
|
 |
Frame
Weight with Key Equivalents:
Increase and decrease frame weight with command-option-period
and command-option-comma on a Mac or with alt-equals
and alt-minus on a PC.
|
Draw
Elements from Center:
Create custom shapes using the eight Creator drawing
tools. By default, Creator will draw the shape
from one side to the other. You can now hold the
option key (Mac OS) or Alt (Windows) to draw the
shape from the center. |
Mark
Elements as Unfinished:
Denote any element selected as a placeholder for
elements that require additional input. An X will
be placed over all selected elements to indicate
that they have become placeholders. You can indicate
a placeholder for art (such as photographs) that
is physically pasted into the document after it
is printed or create a placeholder to remind you
to add the element later. |
Variable
Underline Weight:
Use several typographical options to create a
document with the look you want. Choosing the
right typeface, type style, size and spacing are
some of the ways you can improve the appearance
of your document. The Character Attributes dialog
box allows you to apply existing type styles or
specify character attributes for selected text,
including applying an underline. The weight of
text underlines can also be changed. |
Edit
Master Spread Text and Elements:
Edit text or change elements in an active spread
that are in a master spread. This option allows
for the use of a master spread in many document
pages and the change in appearance of one or more
master spread elements or text on one or more
active spread pages. |
Text
Locking:
Use Text Flow Settings dialog box to specify default
tab settings, the first baseline offset in each
text block, and lock or unlock the text flow so
that it cannot be cut, cleared or reformatted. |
Zero
Degree Editing:
Edit rotated, skewed or flipped text in upright
orientation. |
