Adobe PageMaker
is a professional page layout package more widely favoured by
business users than designers-who tend to opt for QuarkXPress. It is
suitable for producing publications
of any size
either for in-house output or for high-quality printing. It has an
interface which is easy-to-use and yet powerful.
