"...The program is in active development and we prepare v.3 for release. The structure of Swift Publisher was re-built and there was no sense to concentrate on adding grouping feature before completing these changes.
An update should appear on August - September this year."
It's now October 10 and still nothing.
And this from the developer's own forum:
"When will Swift Publisher 3 be out? Any info on upgrading?"
and the response:
"Hi,
I expect the release of the third version in the middle or end of 2010.
Nick"
To the developer: don't insult your customers by constantly making promises you have no intention of keeping.
I for one am sick of waiting and am going to buy another product. More than likely iStudio Publisher, a few dollars more than Swift Publisher but has more features.

Like $ir M. and Lvdoc I own Swift Publisher, a really good application I think, but like them was wondering what was happening with the 'grouping' ability promised back in 2008.
This afternoon I emailed BeLight Software, the developer, asking when and if 'grouping' was going to be added. Within an hour or so I had a reply saying that they are currently working on version 3 which should be available August - September. Now the really good news - 'grouping' will be available in version 3.
This will, I think, take Swift Publisher from being really good to fantastic!!!!

If, however, Swift Pub ever delivered grouping functionality (as promised back in Apr. 2008), it could have real game-changing potential; note, though, that it has since bumped only from 2.3 to 2.3.3.
Lots of time - not much improvement - the natural question arises: how active is this software's development? (Not intended as criticism)

I just purchased the software today and it has already crashed twelve times within a six hour period. The last crash caused my iMac to completely freeze requiring a manual restart.
This is too bad since it has everything my wife has been looking for in an affordable application for simple booklet layouts. I'm running this app on an late 2007, 24" iMac with a 2.8Ghz CoreDuo and 4GB of RAM.

I contacted them useing ichat and had immediate response explaining in simple english which I could understand to reduce the percentage size of the pictures by 50% using image tricks and this took no time at all.
This I did and all problems solved, and the quality difference in the picures seems very small. I have bought this product as I am very pleased with it. It is a little slow but I assume they are big files and for the price thats not a problem.

It has never, ever crashed for me, in fact it is so solid that it never occurred to me to be an issue. There were a few other issues, but never stability.

The problem is in the way Adobe opens this PDF file. The same result occurs when opening your document with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 on Mac as well. Maybe Adobe renders them into the lower quality to speed up display process, you may check Adobe settings to try to fix this.

Add your voice to those asking Apple to make Colorsync usable.
Apple has dropped the Pro Print industry in favor of undiscriminating consumers, despite all the chin music to the contrary.

I can suggest you to use PDF filters to reduce file size, filters are available in Options menu in Export dialog. You can contact our tech-support if you need more assistance.
