What Adobe software is like Microsoft Publisher ???

I need an Adobe software that has all the templates, designs for brochures, menus, business cards, etc.



I already use Microsoft Publisher to get the design templates of the menus im making, but i cant make them into PDF files as id like to .



What adobe software can give you all the templates for restaurant menus, brochures , etc?

Professional software does not come w/ templates - just certain tool presets and filters. You MIGHT be able to find some Quark or InDesign templates for sale online though. But honestly, if this is for a business, wouldn't you prefer the menu and brochure reflected your company's branding...look and feel? A template isn't very original, now is it? Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark, InDesign...are all used by professional designers who have a good grasp of graphic design, and have been trained to visually communicate ideas. They know how to properly work with Fonts/Typography, Graphics, Layout, Composition...etc. These programs are a clean empty canvas waiting to be filled up.



Publisher shouldn't be used for anything you want to get printed professionally...as you can see it isn't really very compatible or useful unless you are printing at home.



Would you ever consider hiring a designer to take a look at your already created menu design, and they can recreate it (though they will not copy your template, but could come up w/ a similar look/concept). They already know how to work w/ the software - it takes some time to really know and understand these programs. Do you know how to setup the files for print? Do you know how to work with High resolution images, and what format the printer needs them in? Have you any experience working with a printer? These are all questions to ask yourself and decide if it is really worth trying to be a graphic designer or not. Could your time be better spent?



I have worked w/ many people who have their designs in publisher, only to need me to redo it. So please keep that in mind. If your on a tight budget, you could pay a local talented design student! Just some ideas for you.



I hope I've been of some help to you! Best of Luck!

You should be able to make a pdf if you have Adobe Acrobat/Distiller installed. And if you don't, it would be far less expensive to get it than to purchase InDesign (which doesn't come with templates like you are looking for -- it's professional software -- professionals design their own stuff).



To create a pdf from Publisher go to the "print" dialog box and select the pdf driver and check the "print to file" box. Then, under "properties", select the "Adobe pdf settings" tab and make sure that "Do not send fonts to Distiller" is deselected. Then click ok. This will generate a new file. Then open Distiller and open the new file, then it will generate your pdf.



I think I covered it all... I don't have Publisher here at home, so I couldn't double-check the steps. Email me if you need more information and I can check it tomorrow at the office.
