Why not just save as PDF?

A PDF looks right but you can't edit it. Converting the PDF to Word scrambles the layout. Free converters often break newsletters and brochures: when a story flows through several linked text boxes, they copy the whole story into every box, so the text piles up on top of itself. EditMyPub re-flows each story through its boxes in reading order, so each box holds its own part of the story.

Where EditMyPub makes the biggest difference

Multi-column newsletters and bulletins

Stories that continue in the next column or on page 3 are re-flowed through their boxes in reading order. Free converters tend to stack the whole story into every box.

Brochures with text around pictures

Text that wrapped around a photo is fitted into the space beside it instead of hiding behind the picture.

Archives of recurring files

A season of bulletins or a shelf of old newsletters. Packs cover a whole folder at a lower price per file.

Honest limits

Text that wraps around a picture follows the picture's outline in small steps, using extra text boxes; where a story still runs long, its text is shrunk slightly (at most 15%). You can switch wrapping off when you upload. Tables, WordArt and some special effects may come through as plain shapes or text. If a font from your original isn't installed on your computer, text can wrap slightly differently. Always check the free preview first.
