Adobe Page Maker 7.0

Adobe PageMaker 7.0 includes a host of new features that make it easier for business and educational producers to create professional-quality documents.
What follows is an overview of PageMaker 7.0’s top new features. For more details, see the Adobe PageMaker 7.0 At A Glance or theAdobe PageMaker 7.0 New Feature Highlights,

• Data Merge. Create customized content, such as direct mail, form letters, business cards, and catalogs using text and image data exported from databases or spreadsheets and saved as comma-separated files in .csv or txt format.

• Support for placing native Adobe Photoshop® 5.0–6.0.x files. Eliminate the time and effort of creating flattened Photoshop (PSD) files for import. Automatically update placed PSD files after making and saving

changes to the file in Photoshop. Manage and store only one image file for use in multiple documents and applications.

• Expanded support for placing native Adobe Illustrator® files. Place native Illustrator 9.0.x files as easily as you place native files from earlier versions of Illustrator. Because Illustrator 9.0’s native format is Adobe PDF, the Import PDF dialog box opens when you place 9.0.x files. Note: PageMaker 7.0 does not display or print transparency effects in native Illustrator 9.0 files. However, you can display and print transparency by first saving the Illustrator file as an EPS file.

• Place Adobe PDF files created in Photoshop or Illustrator, as well as PDF 1.3 and 1.4 version files created in other applications. (PageMaker also continues to place PDF 1.2 files.) Now you don’t have to worry about locating the original files for information that’s stored and distributed in Adobe PDF files. Just place the

PDF files instead.

• Updated EPS filter. Place EPS files saved as Adobe PostScript® 3™ files for maximum quality. Print and

perform in-RIP separations of these files on PostScript 3 devices.

• Improved user interface for exporting Adobe PDF files. Access Acrobat® Distiller™ 5.0 Job Options directly, including document-level security controls. Produce more compact Adobe PDF files because of updated support in Acrobat Distiller 5.0, which is included with PageMaker 7.0. (Acrobat Distiller 5.0 typically generates more compact Adobe PDF filesthan Distiller 4.0, which was included with PageMaker 6.5 Plus.)

• Tagged PDF support (eBooks). Make content more portable: Check the eBook (Embed Tags) option in the Export Adobe PDF dialog box to automatically tag the text and graphics in the publication, making them

independent of page size and viewing device in the final PDF file. View tagged PDF publications on a wide

variety of devices, including popular PDAs. PDF tagging enables the publication layout to reflow for optimal

readability on different displays.

• Updated converter for QuarkXPress and Microsoft® Publisher. Easily convert documents from QuarkXPress 4.0 and 4.1 (Mac OS/Windows) and Microsoft Publisher 2000 (Windows only). Work efficiently with a single converter utility that handles conversion of both QuarkXPress and Publisher documents on the Windows platform. With this new support, PageMaker 7.0 now converts QuarkXPress 3.3–4.1 documents and Publisher 97–2000 documents.

• Updated filter for Microsoft Word and RTF file import. Import content from Microsoft Word 2000 (Windows) and 2001 (Mac OS), and enjoy enhanced support for .rtf and .txt file import.

• Enhanced operating system support. Enjoy greater stability and reliability due to updated support for the

latest operating systems, including: Apple system software versions 8.6 (with Apple Software Font Manager

Update version 1.0), 9.1, and OS X (Classic); and Microsoft Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0 with Service
