Ever try retrieving old Wang or WordStar word processing documents? Even some very old Microsoft Word documents will no longer fully or properly open. The issue of retrieving content from old, discontinued formats is not limited to PageMaker. That is a much longer run than PageMaker had in total. We are sorry you didn't heed that encouragement at that time.įWIW, I can still open my pre-release InDesign 1.0 documents with the current version of InDesign, 21 years later. Adobe continually encouraged PageMaker customers to migrate to InDesign including special pricing many years ago for PageMaker users upgrading to InDesign.
#Pagemaker 6.5 pdf
It was pretty apparent even at that time that PageMaker was on an EOL (End Of Life) course it was no secret and the vast majority of PageMaker users with archives of PageMaker documents took care to either convert those documents to InDesign or to at least make PDF versions and secure assets such as text and imagery for possible repurposing later. It has been over 20 yearssince Adobe released InDesign. [Moved from Community Help (which is about the forums) to a better forum. Why is there no conversion method available to graphics professionals and individuals? Are we just left for fodder? Thank you. ADOBE what is your opinion on this matter? i see nothing from you. there doesn't seem to be any third party out there creating conversion programs that will convert 300 MB 300 page PM6.5 files online or otherwise. I purchased a copy of Illustrator hoping i could just open the PM6.5 file and convert it, only to now read that i am many versions outdated. i've decided to go back to the original PM6.5 file and revamp it. i've been hanging on by threads with a less than decent PDF it made 10 years ago. it contains thousands of hours of work in it. why can we not get a better situation where we can convert older outdated files types to newer versions of adobe products? i have a LARGE pagemaker 6.5 file that is incredibly importmant to me. they are the ones who have created this issue with the newer version incampatibility and should also be the ones who should fix the mess.
I've read the older posts concerning this matter and have found, quite frankly zero help from ADOBE in this matter, when they should be the ones who should be spearheading this charge.
