Adobe PageMaker (formerly Aldus PageMaker) is a desktop publishing application that was first developed by Aldus Corporation.
Product history[]
On August 31, 1994, Aldus was acquired by Adobe Systems,[1] which released its own first version as Adobe PageMaker 6 in 1995.[2] PageMaker 6.5 was announced at Seybold SF '96 and shipped at the end of the year.[3]
Adobe PageMaker 7 was last major version. Adobe introduced Adobe InDesign as a modern replacement for desktop publishing.[4] A "PageMaker Edition" of InDesign CS was released in January 2004 with additional features and plug-ins to help users migrate. Adobe stopped selling PageMaker 7 at the end of March 2006, with Adobe InDesign CS2 (which had the migration features built-in) as an alternative.
