Sign Up As A Publisher

Yes!  We’ve drastically lowered prices for stand alone registrations this season ($75 per license is almost unheard of in this industry), but did you know that you can get even more of a discount when you sign up as a publisher?SpecialOffer

Our publisher signup/renewal fee is still $250.00 per season, and as of this year you get a lot more out of it:

License Discount:

All of our publishers get a 25% discount on every license purchased.  Are you doing 14 books or more?  If you are, then signing up as a publisher pays for itself in license discounts alone.

Private Label Branding:

We used to charge over and above our publisher renewal fee to include your company’s logo and contact information in the software.  Now, we offer this to everyone who signs up as a publisher.

Electronic Submission:

This is a feature that’s available to all of our registered publishers.  Once your customer is finished designing their book, they can submit the PDF to you electronically.

PDF Security:

Lock your end user’s high resolution PDFs with the password of your choice.  Ensure that your schools print their books through you.

Call or email us to sign up as a publisher today!

Video: Floating Toolbar Overview – Yearbooks Desktop

Posted by: admin In: Help and Tips, Tech Support, Tutorials, Uncategorized, Videos 03 Oct 2013 Comments: 0 Tags: candid, floating toolbar, text, toolbar, tutorial, video, youtube

As mentioned last week, we have completed shooting a new tutorial video on the Floating Toolbar in the new Yearbooks Desktop (download here).   We managed to record two videos during the session, and the first one was edited today.

The floating toolbar is one of the new enhancements granted to us by developing the Canvas page editor.   The toolbar appears on the right side of your screen when you right click on any object and choose “Object Properties”.  From the toolbar you have access to a context sensitive menu – when you click on a text object, the text controls are enabled; likewise when you click on a shape or candid image, the corresponding controls are activated.    We made this change to provide more screen ‘real estate’, and the result is that the draw area of the Page Editor has gained about 20% more workable space.

Here’s the video, we’ll be adding more videos very soon.  Don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel to be the first to know about new videos and announcements.

Yearbooks Desktop Help Videos – New Content Coming Soon

Posted by: admin In: Help and Tips, Tech Support, Tutorials, Videos 24 Sep 2013 Comments: 0 Tags: help, import, playlist, PSPA, tutorial, video, year book, yearbook, youtube

If you are brand new to our software and are looking for some instruction on how to get started, or an overview of the major features of the program, you should definitely visit our YouTube channel.  We’ve created tutorial videos of how to Import Students from your PSPA File, Generate PDF files, Auto-Flow your Panels, and over a dozen more helpful videos for Yearbooks Desktop.

Each year we review our video archives to share new best practices, highlight new features and promote our software around the net.   This year we have decided to create some new videos, and the production will start immediately!  Dave and Simon are setting up the recording studio space and will be adding new videos to our channel very soon.  We don’t have a voice actor this year, so it’s likely we’ll hear one of their voices on the audio track.  This year we are recording the videos with CamStudio and editing them with Sony Vegas Pro and Photoshop (our previous videos were mostly created with CamTasia).

Do you have any suggestions or topics you’d like discussed or demonstrated in a video ?  Leave us a comment below.   Here is our current Yearbooks Desktop YouTube playlist, which you can also get to by clicking the ‘Videos’ button on the Registration Screen.
