These include the ability to copy effects from one object to the next, selecting similar objects to alter them all at the same time, or even creating a grid of objects in seconds.Īffinity Publisher 2 comes subscription-free on Windows, Mac, and iPad. We were impressed with these time-saving features, which range from simple yet necessary tools like footnote creation to serious object manipulation. You’ll find a wide selection of tools are available to help make document design a breeze. And really, that’s the worst you can say about an otherwise excellent DTP app. The page layout designer’s interface is polished, but nothing we haven’t seen before - although the icons and labels might be a bit too small if you have a pixel-dense display. With big improvements across the board, it feels good enough to rival big players Adobe InDesign and QuarkXpress. Affinity Publisher 2 is a serious step up from version one of Serif's popular desktop publishing software.
