Getting Started with PageMaker 6.5 > Introduction

  Introduction

Adobe PageMaker 6.5 is the "world's leading cross-platform professional page layout software". PageMaker is primarily used for designing and producing publications such as flyers and newsletters and any other application that requires a combination of text and graphics. PageMaker 6.5 has a rich array of facilities to import text and artwork from other computer application packages, as well as allowing you to generate these directly from within PageMaker itself. PageMaker can handle text better than Illustrator and PhotoShop and also gives you the flexibility of graphic control not available in word processors.


  New Features in PageMaker 6.5

Document Layers

Layers allow you to place elements one over the other. It can be thought of as sheets stacked up one on top of the other. You can place elements on these layers or temporarily hide the layers. These layers can be used for adding annotations, floating or background images.

Easier Layout

There is a new concept of frames in PageMaker 6.5, which can hold any type of text or images. PageMaker's freeform layout capabilities have become even more flexible with its frame and text controls.

Better Integration

PageMaker can work seamlessly with PhotoShop, Illustrator etc. It also builds the ability to drag and drop images and elements directly from one of these applications to the other.

Color Controls

PageMaker 6.5 introduces new color technologies, which helps in reproducing high fidelity colors in your publications. A new desktop color separation tool is also included. The Kodak color management system now supports the International Consortium of Standard for sharing device profiles.

Internet Ready

The current release of PageMaker (i.e. Version 6.5) includes an option to export your PageMaker documents to Internet ready HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) files with the links preserved. The document images are converted to GIF or JPEG format required by the Internet. There is also an option to export the PageMaker documents in to Adobe Acrobat format.
