More about Adobe PageMaker

Adobe PageMaker is a discontinued desktop publishing software introduced in 1985 by the Aldus Corporation on the Apple Macintosh.

PageMaker development was replaced by InDesign.

The program allowed users to edit images, text, spreadsheets, graphics, and formatting within a document to give it the look and feel of various publication styles, such as magazines, newspapers, or books, in a professional and creative way.

PageMaker was supported by Windows and Apple, but most updates and new versions were released for Mac first and then for Windows.

PageMaker documents saved as PMD files use Adobe Systems' PostScript page description language.

PMD files also support cell, formula, chart, and multiple sheet formatting.

PMD files are saved in a proprietary format and are the main file type associated with PlanMaker, a Microsoft Excel-like spreadsheet application that is included with Microsoft Office.
