PageMaker Pro

Adobe has released PageMaker Pro 7, the newest version of their page layout program. PageMaker offers tools for each person in the publishing cycle: graphic artists and designers; writers and editors; production artists, typesetters, prepress and Web professionals. With PageMaker, you can integrate text and graphics from many sources into virtually any kind of publication for the Web or print, from newsletters and brochures to color catalogs and magazines to Web pages, with maximum precision and control, but little or no design experience. The new PageMaker Pro release provides tighter integration with Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat; allows reuse of existing content with its updated support for importing and converting Microsoft Word, Publisher, and QuarkXPress files; and allows users to create tagged PDF files to display documents properly on a variety of devices including laptop computers, PDAs, and other wireless devices. PageMaker Pro 7 is part of Adobe's vision of network publishing software, which allows users to create a document once and view it on any device, anytime, anywhere. To meet the needs of business professionals, educators, and small office/home office users, Adobe has included in PageMaker Pro 7 hundreds of professionally designed templates for newsletters, brochures and more, plus 4,700 stock illustrations in Adobe Illustrator and JPEG format, 300 high-resolution stock photographs and more than 150 Type 1 fonts. Adobe PageMaker Pro 7 has been designed to meet the needs of three types of user: Business marketing communications, sales, or administrative individuals, with little or no design experience, who must produce polished and professional material such as marketing plans, business reports, and policy guides. Small office/home office producers, who need polished materials to compete with bigger companies, but don't have much time or training, and want to create business cards and letterhead, project proposals, newsletters, flyers, and ads
