This is Apple’s proprietary utility, a universal program in which you can write anything:

  • a brochure with a sophisticated layout,
  • a research paper or an abstract, quarterly report.

A huge number of templates greatly simplifies the search for optimal formatting. High-quality blanks for all occasions are provided. There is a function of joint editing in real time. Photos and videos, drawings, audio excerpts and other additions can be added to documents.
