Adobe PageMaker

Adobe PageMaker

PageMaker was one of the first desktop publishing programs, introduced in 1985 by Aldus Corporation, initially for the then-new Apple Macintosh and in 1987 for PCs running Windows 1.0.

PageMaker was awarded an SPA Excellence in Software Award for Best New Use of a Computer in 1986.

PageMaker relies on Adobe Systems' PostScript page description language, and in 1994 Adobe Systems acquired Aldus and PageMaker.

As an application relying on a graphical user interface, PageMaker helped to popularize the Macintosh platform and the Windows environment.
