Corporate Style, The Expert Way

Have you ever seen words “low-price” in the same sentence as the magical phrase “corporate style design”? Ok, there’s a trick involved: we know you probably haven’t. That’s because “design” is, by default, synonymous with “sophisticated,” which means “chic,” which means “expensive as a space flight, only four times lengthier.”

Now that the problem has been officially established, we can proceed with the solution. Jumsoft is happy to announce that its low-price template line, Pages Templates Expert, which provides great time and cost savings on corporate style design, has been fully revamped and is patiently waiting for you. The six sophisticated and even, shall we say, slightly chic template packs from Jumsoft are the best way to avoid dullness in your everyday work and impress the people you need to impress.

You may ask what is the difference between Pages Templates Expert and Pages Templates Pro? Simply put, there are plenty of new document types that have not been covered in the Pro line. These include Business Report, Calendar, Certificate, Evaluation, Fax, Invitation Card, Manual, Meeting Notes, Memo, Newsletter, Poster, Project Proposal, Quiz, Resume, Schedule, and Timetable. As a result, you can style virtually any document you may need in the way that suits your company best.

You also want to know how the new packs differ from the previous five Pages Templates Expert bundles. The answer is they are better looking, easier to use, more widely applicable, and available in both U.S. and European formats.

Pages Templates Expert contains six template packs with different designs and different attitudes. Color Fest shines with sunny and perky splashes of color, and instantly puts you in the vacation mood. Elementary exclaims ‘childhood,’ and radiates color and laughter. The Enterprise templates are prominent and charming in the most business-like way possible: indeed, the sky is the limit. Living Space has been designed specifically for real estate businesses and displays the warm, welcoming atmosphere of a dream home. The Subtle Mind pack has a marvelous feel of simplicity without looking unfriendly and detached. Finally, Sugar is a world of daydreaming, perfect for beauty-related companies.

Each pack of Pages Templates Expert includes up to 41 different templates in uniform style, matching each type of document. Single-page templates, such as Letter, Memo, and Poster, are for your basic documents, and the several multi-layout templates are perfect for brochures and other publications, from a 2-layout quiz to a horizontal or vertical brochure with as many as 12 layouts. Each object in the templates can be effortlessly recolored, reshaped, moved, or removed. Type or paste your own text, add and remove text boxes, and change the font if you wish. Drag your photos or pictures onto documents to replace the stock images. There are no boundaries to your creativity!

Feel free to preview the Pages Templates Expert samples and grab your own pleasantly priced pack here. These days, a movie ticket could set you back the same amount of cash.

How to Transfer iWork Files to the iPad

Now that many of you have that magic device called the iPad, you naturally want to make the best possible use of it. That includes easily transferring iWork files from your Mac to the iPad so that you can take your ultra-slim friend to meetings and presentations. We have prepared a basic guide to make this task as smooth as possible. In this way, you can also get your favorite Jumsoft templates and themes for iWork on your iPad – just save them as ordinary Pages, Keynote, or Numbers files first.

The first way of transferring iWork files from the Mac to the iPad is very simple: just send them via e-mail to your own address. Then open your e-mail account on iPad and save the attachment file wherever you like.

The second way to transfer files is via iTunes. Here, you are going to need an iPad (obviously), Mac OS 10.5.8 or later, iTunes 9.1 or later, and the iPad version of iWork.

First, plug your iPad into your computer. Launch the appropriate version of iTunes on your computer, select your iPad from the Devices section, and click on the Apps tab. Under the File Sharing section, you’ll find a list of apps currently installed on your iPad that support file sharing. Click on, e.g., Pages, and then simply drag and drop your documents into the Pages Documents area.

That's all you have to do on the Mac side. The data files will now transfer across to the iPad.

Now launch Pages on your iPad. Navigate to the Document Manager screen:

Tap on the folder icon on the top right. Now you'll see all of the documents you have just moved to the iPad from your Mac:

Tap on the file you want, and there it is, with every object ready to be edited, recolored, reshaped, moved, or removed:

If you wish to share or export the file from iPad, click on the bottom left icon:

This is what your recipient sees if you choose to send the file via e-mail:

If you choose to share the file via iWork.com, select an appropriate format:

The same goes for exporting the file to another format:

Now go on and do more with your iPad! For more information on file sharing, go to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4094. If you have any questions about our templates and themes, e-mail us at info@jumsoft.com.

Relationship Rebuilt. Oh, Yeah!

Every once in a while our tiny team produces something so…right…that we can’t help but brag about it--especially when the production of that something takes over 15 months. Today is one of those times. We proudly present a very special, brand-new version of our contact management gem, Relationship.

Relationships are at the core of every business. Every company is a unique bundle of connections among its employees, partners, and customers. Each of these connections requires special attention, and that’s what Relationship 2 is for!

The fully revamped version is so much more than just a contact management app. In fact, it’s a powerful solution for managing both contacts and projects, boosted by a linking feature for easier and more convenient access.

Apart from the linking capability and Jumsoft’s trademark smooth interface, Relationship 2 offers new top-notch options for contact grouping, an extensive project feature, event syncing with iCal, embedded emailing and browser, and an ability to add a variety of documents from your hard drive. Actually, you can do many different things without even switching to other applications. For example, you can simply import your Apple Mail account to Relationship, link essential email messages to your current business prospect, and create an event that reminds you to send them a touch-base email. You can then peruse prospect-related Web sites, bookmark relevant pages, and create a sticky note listing ideas for a future proposal.

In fact, you should try out all of this out right now. Click here to find out more about Relationship 2 and download the free trial version!

A Few Peeks at Relationship 2

You Asked for It: Money for iPad is Out!

This time of the year we become really quick and responsive. It’s all that sunshine, the birds, the bees, and the food supplements, you see. Powerful stuff. So it’s only natural that we’re releasing a version of our pride and joy, Money, adapted for a device that’s been on the market for 15 days or so. And no, it’s not Tell Me Your Secrets Bear – ain’t that exceptionally creepy, by the way?

So actually, it’s iPad. Lots of you have already picked up one of these toys and begun showering us with inquiries about Money. All there was for us to do was: 1) make Money for iPad; 2) make it quick; 3) make it free, just like the iPhone version. Happy days, eh?

The iPad version is essentially the same as Money for iPhone. It allows you to create different types of accounts for your cash, bank accounts, credit cards, and investments. Then, you can begin entering transactions and viewing the balances for each account. Budget Monitor helps you stay within your carefully planned budget, while the Bills section reminds you of amounts due to be paid. You even have report capability on your iPad, so you can obtain a decent idea of what you spent last week, last month, or last year. All of this, of course, is combined with an elegant interface and is completely free.

It goes without saying that you are able to synchronize Money on your iPad with the desktop version on Mac. For full security, Money for iPad features the ability to set a pass-code to boot, just in case someone gets a hold of your precioussss iPad, such as a foreign spy or a thrifty significant other.

Now that we’ve helped to make your dreams come true, please do stop by the iTunes App Store and get your free copy of Money for iPad, asap! Then send us your feedback at info@jumsoft.com or tweet us on @Jumsoft_team.

Pages Clipart Hits the 1000 (and You Thought the Holiday Season Was Over!)

If we’re not mistaken, you’re the kind of person who has a penchant for the unique, the creative, and the expressive. After all, you are now browsing this site and even bothered to peek at the blog section. You might also have an enthusiasm for teacup-sized dogs or monster trucks, which is perfectly fine with us--although incidentally, it also has less to do with us. But the unique, creative, and expressive part? Yeah, no problem, we can handle that!

And what can be a better way of lending these three magic qualities to your presentations, invitations, Web pages, posters, newsletters, and virtually any text content than 500 brilliant clipart images from Jumsoft, you may ask? 1000 brilliant clipart images from Jumsoft, we reply. That is ONE THOUSAND pictures of superb quality for $39!

As long as we’re at it, this vast collection of 1000 imagines consists of a wonderful palette of choices...a bed, a stapler, a CCTV camera, a positive pregnancy test, and a Bactrian camel. Such are just a handful of examples (in the order of probability of seeing them in real life, although the camel’s placement on the list highly depends on your residential area). The best part is that use of the Pages Clipart 6.0 images is not limited to Pages: you can also use them in Keynote, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, and a variety of graphic editing programs.

Pages Clipart 6.0 treats you to the same perks that led you to fall in love with its predecessor: transparent backgrounds that allow the placement of images on a variety of colors and patterns, as well as PDF format capabilities (in addition to the standard PNG) that enables images to be resized without sacrificing excellent quality.

In case you don’t want to get yourself into anything back-breaking, which we understand perfectly well, you can relax. Pages Clipart 6.0 is just about as easy to use as it gets. It is not even an application and does not require installation. All you need to do is download the package from this site, copy the Pages Clipart 6.0 folder to any location on your computer that you prefer (e.g., Documents) and use the images whenever you like. Use the Copy and Paste functions or simply drag and drop a selected image onto your document.

You’ll just have to experience it for yourself. So check the samples here, and hit the Buy Now button here to get your own 1000 images!

Make It Simply Good with Pages Templates Pro

When you're starting a new business, the last thing you want to focus on is failure. At least that’s what Google says after you enter the phrase “starting a new business” in the search field. This is definitely, absolutely correct. Having said that, there are a few next worst things to focus on: whom to fire first, what happens if your tax cheat gets caught, or which design agency would charge you the least for creating a flabbergastingly boring corporate style.

That’s the part where we step in with our capes flapping dramatically, our fists clenched and pulsing into the sky, and a cohort of scantily clad burlesque dancers performing a meticulously orchestrated routine on a staircase lined with flashing lights. Seriously, we do. And concurrently, we bring you an upgrade of our beautiful line of document templates created specifically for businesses, Pages Templates Pro. This is officially the easiest, cheapest, and most stylish way to obtain a decent set of exquisitely designed documents that will unfailingly represent your business.

Pages Templates Pro contains twelve packs that you are likely to have already seen on our Web site and eight fresh additions. The Acid Bright pack has a jolly ambience without being tacky and childish. Competitive Base is striking and original, making a display of sales offers quite stylish. Fresh Grass screams, “Think green!” and does it in a lively and attractive way. Mini Color flashes with bright backgrounds and minimalist details. Pattern Cut with its deep colors and subtle styling is a great way to convey reliability and harmony. Choose Retrospective for the über-cool feel of European cinema in the ‘60s, and this will also work for fans of minimalism. The unfussy Polaroid frames pasted to the elaborate vintage wallpaper of the Polaroid Portfolio templates injects some cheeky playfulness into the serious world of business. Finally, Star Studio is engineered for success, emanating spirit, strength, and reliability.

Each pack of Pages Templates Pro includes five different templates in a uniform style: Brochure, Business Card, Envelope, Invoice, and Letter. All documents are available in the A4 and U.S. Letter formats. You can type in the template or paste text from another place, add and remove text boxes, change fonts, and drag your photos or pictures onto placeholders to replace the standard pictures. There are so many ways to make the templates your own!
