Should Adobe PageMaker® users convert to InDesign CS5?
Adobe ceased developing the PageMaker codebase in 2002. Accordingly, PageMaker no longer runs on the most recent operating systems from Microsoft or Apple; does not include a modern interface; is not integrated with the most recent versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash Professional, and Acrobat; does not offer important creativity tools such as support for transparency effects, object styles, and multicolor gradients; lacks sophisticated typographic controls; does not support publishing interactive documents in Adobe PDF and SWF formats; and does not allow you to create eBooks in the industry-standard EPUB file format. Upgrading to InDesign CS5 will give you the tools you need to quickly and efficiently design and publish short- and long-form documents for delivery in print, online, or on devices.
