PageMaker was one of the first desktop publishing programs, introduced in 1985 by Aldus, initially for the Apple Macintosh and, in 1987, for PCs running Windows 1.0. As an application relying on a graphical user interface, PageMaker helped to popularize the Macintosh platform and the Windows environment.
PageMaker relies on Adobe Systems' PostScript page description language.
In 1994, Adobe Systems acquired Aldus and PageMaker.
Aldus Pagemaker 1.0 was released in July 1985 for the Macintosh and in December 1986 for the IBM PC.
Aldus Pagemaker 1.2 for Macintosh was released in 1986 and added support for PostScript fonts built into LaserWriter Plus or downloaded to the memory of other output devices. PageMaker was awarded an SPA Excellence in Software Award for Best New Use of a Computer in 1986.
In October 1986, a version of Aldus was made available for Hewlett-Packard's HP Vectra computers. In 1987, Aldus was available on the Digital Equipment's VAXstation computers.
