Is Technology Making Design Obsolete?
There’s no doubt artificial intelligence (AI) is finding a permanent home in several industries.

It is revolutionizing the way that we work and how we go about our daily lives.

Question on: Wondershare PDFelement
What are the top features of this software?
I have only used it for OCR for which it has been instrumental, but, after going through this questionnaire, it seems that it is a lot more useful than I was aware.
Hi James, great question! A lot of users rate PDFelement's protection features (the ability to password protect PDFs), sizing features, document management features, document scanning features, editing history features, and the ability to create new PDFs highly. Hope that helps!

Question on: Microsoft Publisher
How do you download new new templates to use on publisher?
I would like to know how I will gain access to newly updated templates for my new designs.
There is not a specific update or download for adding templates to Publisher, all new content is managed by an ondemand system.
With internet access, click on the File Menu, then select New.
In the Search Bar you can enter the type of template you are looking for or select a suggested search to narrow the results.
You can also select Built-In and select the type of document to find those specific types of templates.
Using Google or whatever your preferred Internet browser is, simply search "publisher templates" and you will find a huge amount of free download able content.

Question on: Adobe InDesign
Can you make it easier to export a single page or multiple like in illustrator's artboard export?
I tend to send a lot of progress photos to clients and prefer to export png's vs sending screenshots. If there were an easy way to export faster I would really appreciate it!
Depending on the file type you can always save a single or any combination of page ranges when you export as a pdf under the general tab. Actually most file types during the export dialogue ask for a page or range just by separating each page with a comma for individual pages, or a dash for consecutive page numbers. If it's hard to keep track of specific photos (page numbers) when exporting, I would definitely recommend not using InDesign for large numbers of photos. Photoshop and Lightroom is definitely more suited for a higher quantity of files, even Illustrator is not the best when it comes to images.
when you are exporting from indesign to a pdf. just choose the page number you want to export.
Command + e will take you directly to exporting to jpg or pdf.could not be easier.
you will find all the parameters within the dialog box of adobe pdf presets.
