What We Don’t Like
In the past, Adobe PageMaker was the leading desktop publishing software for Mac and Windows. Times have changed but PageMaker Pro 7 hasn’t, which is why it has these disadvantages:
- For all it’s worth, Adobe isn’t updating or supporting PageMaker Pro 7 anymore.
- Compared to newer software like InDesign, PrintMaster, and Scribus, PageMaker Pro 7 falls short in terms of features.
- Unfortunately, this app lacks built-in collaboration tools for team projects.
