📰 PagePress

REPLACES ADOBE INDESIGN for one price.

Real page layout, without the subscription. Build multi-page documents the way layout software is supposed to work: master pages that stamp every page, text frames you link into chains so a long story flows from page to page, paragraph styles that update everywhere at once, placed images — and a print-ready PDF rendered from your layout itself, not from a screenshot of it.

PagePress is page layout; PageForge is CertSight's word processor — if you want a flowing document of paragraphs, that's PageForge; if you want pages, frames and masters, you're in the right place.

$39 one-time. No subscription. Yours forever.

What it does

• Documents with real pages. Letter, A4, Legal and more, portrait or landscape, your margins — add, remove and reorder pages.
• Master pages. Put a header, a footer or a rule on the master and it appears on every page that uses it. The page-number placeholder prints the actual number on each page. Edit the master once; every page updates.
• Linked text frames that flow. Chain frames together across pages and your story pours through them in order — overflow in frame one continues in frame two. Text that doesn't fit is counted and shown as overset, never silently dropped. Remove a frame and the story reflows.
• Paragraph styles. Heading, Subhead, Body, Caption — font, size, leading, alignment, spacing, colour. Change a style and every paragraph using it changes with it. Bold and italic runs inside paragraphs.
• Images and shapes. Upload PNG or JPEG images into the document and place them in frames with fit modes; rectangles and lines for rules, boxes and bands.
• Print-ready PDF, from the model. The exporter renders your document model itself: exact page size, embedded images, resolved page numbers. What the PDF says is what your layout says.
• Take your work with you. Export a package (your document model plus its images in one zip) and import it back into an editable document any time.
• Start from a real template. Newsletter, event flyer, booklet and business report starters — actual editable documents, not pictures of documents.

What PagePress does not do — stated plainly

• No CMYK or prepress separations. PDFs are RGB — right for screens and office printing, not a substitute for a print shop's colour workflow. No Pantone, and no crop, bleed or slug marks in the export.
• No .indd files. PagePress cannot open or save InDesign documents. Its own package format is how documents move.
• No data merge or mail merge, no GREP styles, no book files, and no interactive PDF forms in this version.
• Layout, not drawing. Shapes are rectangles and lines — there is no pen or bezier tool here (that's VectorVault's job), and DesignForge remains the pick for single-canvas social graphics.
• Saving is explicit. There is no autosave in this version: press Save in the editor, or unsaved edits are lost when you close it.
