SUMMARY

The best software for creating flyers on a Mac includes Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, as they provide extensive design capabilities that surpass basic tools like Microsoft Word. Users with graphic design experience prefer Illustrator for its advanced features, while Photoshop is utilized for image editing before incorporating designs into Illustrator. Although Adobe Acrobat was considered, it is not favored for flyer creation due to its limitations compared to Illustrator. Pages is mentioned as an alternative, but it lacks the functionality required for professional design work.

I've been thinking of purchasing some sort of software like Adobe Acrobat or something, because I really want the ability to put together handouts, flyers, newsletters, etc. for my PC biz and also for church stuff that I do. Is anyone familiar of something that's good for a Mac?
 
I've never worked with Acrobat but after years of graphic design I love Illustrator. Too expensive to do just what you want to do though! It makes me so frustrated right now to try to "design" in Word!!
 
I am a graphic and web designer and a hardcore Mac user. :D
I use both Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop (easier to edit some images before going into Illustrator). Occassionally I use Pages, but you can do so much more with Illustrator.
