I have to upload files from pagemaker...

I have a lot of files (posters, brochures, etc) created in pagemaker 6.5. I try to send them to graphics services but no one can open them. They all want pdf files but acrobat will not convert the p6.5 documents. Any suggestions. Or is pagemaker out lived its usefulness and I should get another program.

Pagemaker has outlived it's uselfullness, and you should upgrade to indesign, but you should be able to create pdf files out of pagemaker. What system are you operating on and what version of acrobat?

I am going to take a trial with Indesign. I am going to acrobat.com and I

just downloaded all the new upgrades. It just states that it will not accept

a p65 file.

Pagemaker comes with it's own version of Acrobat distiller that will allow you to create your pdfs.

I have seen acrobat distiller on my 6.0 version but I do not see it on my

6.5 version. I will go back to the original disc and see if I missed

something on the installation. Thanks,

Everything you need is on the PM Setup CD.  However, PM6.5 is ten years so if you are using WinXP SP3, expect problems.

There's some advice here, but it relates to PM7 and Win2K (which indicates it's no longer current).   ISTR that you cannot simply copy/extract Distiller because Adobe are very protective of it.

Installing and Setting Up PM7's Export… Adobe PDF… using the “Application” CD-ROM
