Since I like to keep older versions of my programs on my computer, accumulated garbage files may have kept CC from working. Now knowing that InDesign CC and CS6 will back save down to CS4 gives me some comfort. Now, in the 21st Century either the clients have moved on, or went out of business and newer clients require updated versions of CS/CC documents.
Pagemaker 6.5 indesign upgrade#
It was an expedient to get CS6 NOW and get the job done.īy nature I am loath to upgrade to anything unless forced to by clients, hence up to a few years ago I used PageMaker and OS 9 versions of Adobe programs running under Classic. That damned error message rendered my CC subscription useless, the down side to cloud based systems. In my circumstance and for some reason, I kept getting an error message from CC that simply wouldn’t resolve quickly enough in time to get ‘real work done’. That I should have replied to that thread is now obvious.īut I was in the same straits.
Pagemaker 6.5 indesign download#
It’s a good deal for $49.My response goes to the request above for a download of CS6 with no CC subscription. It adds long-established PageMaker automated-bullet and -numbering tools, as well as options that simplify access to InDesign’s various functions. PageMaker Plug-in Pack will prove useful to many InDesign users. But you’ll still need to use InDesign’s Selection and Direct Selection tools since the Position tool doesn’t completely replace them.įinally, Plug-in Pack lets you import PageMaker 6.0 files, in addition to the PageMaker 6.5 and 7 formats that the standard edition of InDesign supports. The other is the Position tool it selects an object’s container or content contextually, instead of forcing you to pick the correct tool, as you would with InDesign.
This adds yet another palette to InDesign CS’s cluttered interface, but it’s worth it.
Pagemaker 6.5 indesign windows#
One is a handy toolbar taken from the Windows version of PageMaker 7 that gives you one-click access to common functions such as opening a file or inserting pages.
Plug-in Pack also adds two interface features. In addition, Plug-in Pack comes with templates and a template viewer. It’s easy and can even adjust each page’s layout automatically to allow for creep - a phenomenon that occurs when material on the outside pages creeps into the fold due to the thickness of the folded pages. The plug-in arranges the pages in the correct order for printing - double-sided and ready for folding. Plug-in Pack also includes a lowly apprentice production’s InBooklet SE tool to create folded brochures. That means you can’t insert or remove words condition-ally (say, to create a form letter addressed to both individuals and couples). This process is similar to using Microsoft Word’s Mail Merge feature, except that Data Merge has no way to set up conditions for variable-text handling. Just set up a comma-delimited or tab-delimited text file with your data (text and/or links to images), and import the data into InDesign. The most useful plug-in of the pack is Data Merge, which lets you create documents featuring variable text, form letters, catalogs, and business cards. Though it’s marketed as a transition aid for PageMaker users, the pack isn’t a bridge from PageMaker rather, it’s a collection of PageMaker tools that InDesign should have featured in the first place, along with some InDesign interface enhancements. PageMaker lives on, sort of, via the new PageMaker Plug-in Pack that adds to InDesign CS eight PageMaker modules, three of which are from version 7. Even with the new InDesign CS, Adobe is not quite ready to let go. InDesign long ago overtook PageMaker as Adobe’s publishing flagship, but the company has let the OS 9–only PageMaker 7 languish on life support.
