Pages for Adobe InDesign type job, can it do it?

I am starting up a new quarterly 32 page magazine (A4 size) and was thinking of buying InDesign, but if I can get away with not spending £699 on it then I would rather take a different route.
I have iWork and have taken a quick look at Pages, but aren't sure if it can do such a thing. For a start I can't find out how to lay out a spread over two pages i.e. centerfold, as this is how publishing houses need the pages, over a two page spread?
Any thoughts, or any alternative programmes if Pages won't do it?
Thanks.

Hallo Louis,
I think there is no way in Pages to place an object over the border of a page to lay it on two pages. The object will be cliped at the page borders. I don't know other programs with such "professional" layout features, only InDesign, Quark and Freehand.
The only way to do so, is to set the page align to landscape and design it as two pages. But this is a very bad one and not useable for professional printing.
Frank

    I doubt it will do graphics and layout, but maybe, depending on your version of Indesign you may hit lucky (but probably not).

  • I have paid my subscription for Adobe Acrobat Pro but can not install it- I always get an error message -also I did not receive any instalation code...

    I have paid my subscription for Adobe Acrobat Pro but can not install it… I always get an error message …also I did not receive any instalation code...

    With the subscription you sign in with your Adobe ID that you used to order the subscription. By installation code, I assume you mean serial number. You do not get one with the subscription, but use your Adobe ID.

  • I have been using pages for months and now I can not get it to open any templet or previous document to open?

    I have been using pages for months and now I can not get it to open any templet or previous document to open?

    A little more information would be helpful.
    What version of Pages are you using? The latest is 4.1 with the update released on July 20. In Snow Leopard 10.6.8 you need at least Pages 4.0.5. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
    If you are running at least Pages 4.0.5 & haven't made any other changes to your Mac since Pages was last working correctly, the likely culprit is corrupt preferences. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences & delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plst & restart Pages.

  • Trying to Sign Up for Adobe InDesign / Cloud

    I have registered copies of CS4, Web Premium, which includes InDesign and of CS6 Premiere Premium (which does not include InDesign.)
    I had a PC crash which required changing the C: drive, thus all software had to be reloaded.
    Adobe was helpful in getting my Premiere Premium programs downloaded and running again.
    But I can't find the CD with CS4 InDesign program. So I signed up for the Trial of InDesign/Cloud and downloaded that.
    Now I want to register for the InDesign (only) Cloud version @ $29.99 (For users of Adobe products).
    But when I enter either Serial Numbers from my CS4 disks (I have the package, not the right disk) or the serial number for my CS6 package (showing I have a valid Adobe product), it wouldn't accept those serial numbers.
    Where do I go from here?
    HELP.

    Kind regards

    Hello Jonna,
    I see that you inquired about the Adobe InDesign CS5 plugin and that Hedda Cohen indicated that there IS a plugin for MDM Publisher...but she did not indicate where to find the plugin for download. Can you tell me where to find the CS5 plugin?
    Thank you very much!
