Aldus PageMaker 4.0was a significant desktop publishing program for bothMacandWindows. Let’s explore its features and impact:
Origins and Evolution:
Initially released in1985, PageMaker was the first desktop publishing program for theMacintosh.
Over a year later,PageMaker 1.0was released for theIBM PC.
The PC version was notable because it ran underWindows 1.xand bundled a runtime version of Windows.
Aldus skipped version 2.0 on the PC to align the version number with the 3.0 Mac product.
After seven versions and a sell-out toAdobe, PageMaker met its end at version7.0.
Version 7.0 lacked native support forMac OS Xand did not run properly onWindows Vistaor beyond.
It was eventually replaced byAdobe InDesign.
Legacy and Availability:
PageMaker played a crucial role in early desktop publishing, enabling users to create newsletters, brochures, and other printed materials.
While it’s no longer actively developed, its impact on publishing remains part of computing history.
