PageMaker was one of the first desktop publishing programs, introduced in 1985 by Aldus Corporation, for the then-new Apple Macintosh. PageMaker relies on Adobe Systems' PostScript page description language, and in 1994 Adobe Systems acquired Aldus and PageMaker.
As an application relying on a graphical user interface, PageMaker helped to popularize the Macintosh platform.
Version 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. Version 3 for Macintosh was shipped in April 1988.

Very good DTP app for us German folks. Maybe the last version coming on floppies?
I am still using PM6/6.5 occasionally as it does everything I want.
