HOW TO USE ADOBE PAGEMAKER 7.0

Adobe PageMaker, the industry standard desktop publishing software for business and education, is taught and supported by University Information Services.

With Adobe PageMaker, you can create professional-looking fliers, newsletters, brochures, booklets, PDF files, and more, even if you do not have any formal design or page layout training.

Getting and Installing PageMaker

PageMaker is available for institutional purchase from HoyaComputing. Visit HoyaComputing's Getting Software page and log in to the UIS Software Database for purchasing information.

Before you start using PageMaker, install a PostScript printer driver on your computer. PostScript allows you to print high-quality, professional-style documents on laser printers. If you don't install a PostScript printer driver, you will not be able to print your PageMaker document exactly as you created it.
