Their informational chart shows the features of many of the big players, such as PressRun, Quark App Studio, MAG+, Adobe DPS, and Twixl Publisher. It indicates which platforms are supported, software requirements, whether the final product allows font embedding, and if each will integrate with Apple’s Newsstand.
