Adobe PageMaker was one of the first Publishing software programmes on the market in the mid 1980s, when it was developed by the Aldus Corporation, and is generally credited with invention of what came to be known as Desktop Publishing. Aldus was acquired by Adobe in 1994 and after a number of updates culminating in version 7, the product was discontinued. Existing users were urged by Adobe to convert to Adobe InDesign. Whilst still able to offer courses on Adobe PageMaker, PPA no longer schedules these courses as demand is so low. However, if you're interested in receiving training to any level on Adobe PageMaker, please contact us to discuss your requirements, and we'll be happy to tailor a course to help you get the most out of the programme.

This is a “hands-on” course that explores the long document handling capabilities of the software as well as the more advanced features of the software. Students will be expected to have attended or be familiar with the features covered in the Introductory course.

There will be an opportunity for students to discuss specific problems or questions with the trainer.

This Adobe PageMaker training course can also be tailored to a client's particular needs.

Comprehensive course notes are provided. Lunch is also included for courses held in our Training Centre.
