Like much of Adobe's output it is a feature rich program, but is quite inaccessible for the beginner. Adobe Pagemaker 7 0 was originally released in 2002, and it is showing it's age It was designed for small businesses and professionals, and while it's adequate as a desktop publisher, the next generation of programs are more suited to today's world. However, for most people desktop publishing has become obsolete, as word processing applications can now create pages for printing ideal for the amateur user, and professional design suites are much better suited for business.Īlthough it is still sold and supported by Adobe, its functions are now covered by InDesign CS4. If you were happy using desktop publishing programs, you'll be pleased that Pagemaker is still available. If need be, I will go buy an older Mac to use this software since everyone says this won't run on anything later than windows 2000.
