| Introduction | PageMaker was one of the first desktop publishing programs, introduced in 1985 by Aldus on the Apple Macintosh. A key aspect of PageMaker's success was its native support for Adobe Systems' PostScript page description language. In 1999 Adobe released their "Quark Killer", Adobe InDesign. The last major release of PageMaker was in 2001, and customers were offered InDesign licenses at a lower cost. | The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format used to present documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it. |
| Technical details | A PMD file is a page layout file created with Adobe PageMaker, a program used for creating professional publications such as newsletters and brochures. It contains formatted text, images, and drawn objects. PMD files also support images created in other Adobe programs. | The PDF combines three technologies: A subset of the PostScript page description programming language, for generating the layout and graphics. A font-embedding/replacement system to allow fonts to travel with the documents. A structured storage system to bundle these elements and any associated content into a single file, with data compression where appropriate. |
