Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Pagemaker shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Pagemaker offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Pagemaker at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Pagemaker? Wrong! If the Pagemaker is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Pagemaker then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Pagemaker? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Pagemaker and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Pagemaker wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Pagemaker then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Pagemaker site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Pagemaker, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Pagemaker, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

PageMaker was the first desktop publishing program, introduced in 1985 by Aldus, initially for the Apple Macintosh but soon after also for the IBM PC compatible. It relies on Adobe Systems' PostScript page description language. In 1994 Aldus and PageMaker were acquired by Adobe Systems. The current version is PageMaker 7.0, released July 9, 2001, though updates have been released for the two supported platforms since. PageMaker was awarded a Codie awards for Best New Use of a Computer in 1986.

Many of the graphical user interface (GUI) elements pioneered in the program have since migrated to the rest of the Adobe suite. Adobe has positioned PageMaker to compete more for the small business market, with Adobe InDesign aimed at the high end, professional designer. PageMaker's feature set is well suited for publications such as corporate newsletters and the straight-news sections of newspapers, but for layouts that need a more complex design, such as magazines or the feature sections of newspapers, it may take much longer to accomplish the task in PageMaker than it would in InDesign or QuarkXPress, if the desired results are possible at all.

While PageMaker is less powerful than InDesign or QuarkXPress, it is simpler to learn than those two packages and yet more powerful than Microsoft Publisher. It is not uncommon for schools that teach page layout to first teach their students PageMaker to get them comfortable with the concepts of desktop publishing, then move them on to QuarkXPress or InDesign.

In 2004, Adobe announced the ending in development of Adobe PageMaker. Adobe will continue to sell and support it. InDesign is seen as the successor product.

The Macintosh version only runs in Mac OS 9; there is no native support for Mac OS X, nor is there support for Intel-based Macintoshes. It does not run well under Classic (Mac OS X) (which may have lead to its nickname of "RageMaker"), and Adobe recommends customers use an older Macintosh capable of booting into Mac OS 9.



According to Adobe, PageMaker "does not install or run on Windows Vista."
