Summary: Down With Quark!!!
Review: PageMaker is simply a smarter, more logical and better program than Quark... by a wide margin. We are dumping Quark across the board, and nearly all print shops in our region accept files in PM7.0 for Windows (a big change from a few years ago). They are telling us that many of their customers are switching from Quark to PageMaker. And why not? Going pure Adobe for a fully integrated DTP operation makes perfect sense. Adobe is also far more responsive (and receptive) to customers than the Quark people.

Summary: Should Be Called Page-a-saurus
Review: What a disappointment!! I was so hoping Adobe would get present enough to upgrade their Aldus acquisition to better integrate with their other outstanding tools (Illustrator & Photoshop), creating a viable alternative to QuarkXPress ..... Instead we got the same old over-complicated, clunky, RAM-devouring, tool-challenged reason we kept going back to Quark to begin with. I won't go into depth about the problems with the program, because it never had that much going for it to begin with, and you can see plenty of coverage of its shortcomings in the other reviews. All I can say is, don't do what I did: I talked my boss into buying it for our art department because I felt we needed an Adobe alternative to Quark, and it was a BIG mistake - we will never use it, and it will no doubt come out of my pay check. Grrr ........On the upside, Adobe may have made up for this long-overdue-for-retirement publishing debacle with its new InDesign; now THAT program ROCKS. Now don't just take my word for it ..... go to Adobe's site, download the free 30-day tryout, and just watch the future unfold before your eyes. But if you've ever considered getting PageMaker, please just save your money and watch it go extinct like it should have about ten years ago.
