I've used Canvas on and off, trying new versions over the years. Version
2 was good for the magazine/newspaper work I did until I got Aldus
PageMaker, which was significantly better. Canvas has too many problems
to be reliable for high quality color printing. I need WYSIWYG; there's
no time to clean up program errors. I suspect that few Mac
professionals use Canvas; the Mac customer base has been shrinking for a
long time. The last time I tested Canvas, it couldn't do a lot of the
things I needed, and the output was full of errors.
As user-hostile, and expensive as it is, Quark XPress works very well
and doesn't need to be cleaned up. Neither does Adobe InDesign. I use
mostly InDesign, but would buy QXP7 if I were still working full time,
especially if it still has command-shift-option-k delete space-alien.
Try InDesign. Or if you hate InDesign's annoying Illustrator-like
interface, Pages might be all you need. Scribus? Multi-Ad Creator?
How do you use Canvas? What are your needs? Are you ready for something
new, or is v.10 OK? Who is ADCSee? What happened to Deneba? Why doesn't
their search engine work?...
If you do architectural or scientific drawings, there are other choices,

I'm a registered user, and a Mac owner, and I was about to pony up my 100
bucks, when I read:
"Canvas 11 is available for Windows only."
I don't understand this. With the increasing popularity of the Mac, and (my
assumption) that's it's not that difficult to port a Win-intel version to a
Mac-intel, why are you doing this? Why are you throwing away your Mac customers?
