PageMaker 7.0 was the final version release of Adobe PageMaker, with version 7.0 released July 9, 2001, and an update to version 7.0.1 released in February, 2002. Adobe's development of PageMaker ended with version 7.0.1 and legacy support ended a few years later.
- DL #1: "Adobe_PageMaker_7_PPC.sit". This is a "Release Candidate" (RC) development beta release of PageMaker 7.0. It is a fully enabled, working beta and appears to be a stable RC.
- Also included with this RC, is the updater patch to PageMaker v7.0.1. - The update appears to go OK but then - cripples itself once the update is complete. When you next attempt to run the updated PageMaker 7.0.1, it kills itself on launch and will no longer run from then on. See the "Workaround" for this, below
- DL #2: Full Adobe PageMaker 7.0 install CD as ".iso" image file in a StuffIt 5.5 ".sit" archive.
This archive also includes the version 7.0.1 update installer.
- DL #3: The Contents CD accompanying the PageMaker 7.0 CD release. This is a hybrid Mac/Win ".iso" image in a StuffIt 5.5 ".sit" archive. It contains clip-art only, in Illustrator ".ia" format and bitmap JPEGs.
- Workaround: (For DL #1, only)
- Install the Release Candidate (DL #1)
- Fill in the personalization details and use the provided serial to complete the install.
- When done, launch PageMaker to test it works (it should do so at this stage).
- Quit PageMaker, then run the included updater v7.0.1 patch to update.
- When done, launch PageMaker again (it should now fail and exit, but this step is important).
- Open the "Preferences" folder inside of the start-up disk's System Folder and locate the file named "Adobe Registration Database".
- Open the Adobe Registration Database using a plain text editor such as BBEdit.
- You should see an entry in the database, beginning:
- [PageMaker 7.0]
- PLANG=1
- REGTYPE=1
- SERIAL=nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
- Copy and paste, replacing the SERIAL line with: SERIAL=103902346092228653486130
- Save the database and quit the plain text editor.
- You should be able to launch and run PageMaker 7.0.1 OK from now on.

Comments
The long wait for a PM 7 CD install has finally ended
The workaround above, appears to work well at applying the 7.0.1 upgrade successfully.
@tmm; No worries. Thanks for looking out for it, anyway.
Dang, I was wrong yet again... It was the WINDOWS PM7 installer that I found... I only have 6.52 for Mac (which I still think is the best version). I'll use my network of MacOS Old resources and see what I can find...
I've no problem with doing that, tmm.
@MTT, seeing I have it installed on my system, I'm pretty sure I have the 90+MB(?) installer file (not official CD img). If you can combine my installer file + Acrobat 5.0 installer on the one download, that would be awesome too... give me a few hours when I get home...
That would be awesome if you can locate it, tmm.
I believe I have the 7.0 Installer, with templates...
I will search through my archives (I believe the archive is renamed to InDesign, which makes it very difficult to find, but I can tell by the size of the archive) :-/
It may have been renamed to stop it getting removed all the time... dunno.
I'll install it under SheepShaver to check if it is the full or RC version too...
On closer inspection of the current archive above, I discover that it is a development "Release Candidate" (RC) version, a Beta release (version rsrc viewed in ResEdit returns "Development").
[Edit] remainder to this comment, moved to description, above.
[Edit] added full (preinstalled) version 7.0 to page (2nd DL).
Many thanks mrdav (and soudesune too), for having the archive.
The upload came from a big disk of goodies that soudesune sent me a while back.
PageMaker 7.0
should now be archived here and the purchase link above removed:[Edit] is now archived above.On the PageMaker support page, it states:
Visiting the PageMaker forum, users field questions about "Where to purchase 7.0?" with responses bordering on the sarcastic like "good luck finding a copy, sunshine".
One of the forum's regulars, replies to such requests with a: "Pagemaker is dead and as far as I know is no longer available." and elsewhere, more succinctly; "Pagemaker is DEAD!".
Even the trial version of PageMaker has disappeared from Adobe's site.
Its time for us to give it some love.
can't get this downloaded Pagemaker to accept the 7.01 update (btw: Powerbook G4 1ghz Titanium booting 9.2.2 - NOT Classic...!!!)
Is this version of Pagemaker some kind of pre-release ..(ie. creation date issue)..? even tried "merging" with the Demo version of 7.01 (..boy was that a disaster..)
thoughts? - ideas? - questions? - perhaps someone else can re-submit
The "Manual" is not exactly a MANUAL, it is more like a promotional brochure,
but it looks good though.
Sorry, NO WAREZ!!!!
"In 1994 Adobe Systems acquired Aldus and PageMaker."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldus_Pagemaker
But, the Wikipedia entry let's miss the version information back in 1994.
When I used Pagemaker, than was Aldus product, not Adobe
The war was short for me. We used PageMaker for everything, but it had two major flaws: documents took an eternity to print and sometimes they became corrupted, and when that happened there was no way of recovering them. They had to be recreated from scratch, usually in a hurry. When I found out that QuarkXPress didn't have those flaws I switched with my eyes closed and never regreted it. I still used other Adobe products, mostly Photoshop and Illustrator, but PageMaker, never again.
However, there were those who stayed with the fallen king until the bitter end, so this page should be a lifesaver for them--until it's taken down.
Another versions Pagemaker (1-6) are here: http://machut.valleyofthelights.com (DTP directory).
I remember sweet 90's years. Pagemaker was a King at PC computers.
And remember war aganist PageMaker and Quark Xpress users
I know you were kidding but what you say is true. People usually want old software to open old documents and export them to a forward-compatible format, or copy and paste whatever they can salvage. That's it. And it's not worth $499, not even the $79 for the upgrade if you are lucky. So when I said that we should lose the buy link and pretend we don't know, I wasn't kidding. This page represents $499 in savings for anyone who needs to open an old PageMaker document. But it's not my site and therefore not my call.
Just google "buy (application)" if you want to know, but I think you are safe in that area. Some things like AppleWorks 6 and Virtual Game Station are already up, so search the site before uploading to avoid duplicates.
Sorry I was kidding, (and surprised)
Yeah, thats too much money even if it was the last version, and on the same context
I also have some Mac software which I don't know if its Ok to upload here
I mentioned that on this post:
http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/bryce-20
(I know most of them are Ok but I'd like to know which ones are Not Ok)
THX
No ma'am. 499 US dollars plus shipping and handling. And they admit it doesn't run well in Classic.
Maybe we should remove the link to Adobe and pretend we don't know.
You mean $499 Mexican Pesos right?
Cuz tht'stoo muchforamerican dollars amigo!
Sorry to give you the bad news guys but if it's still being sold then it's not abandonware; although charging $499 for this outdated thing is outrageous! So if you want it download it now before Balrog takes the link down to keep this site legit.
Thanks anyway TataMisia and keep the file around because one of this days Adobe will finally dump Pagemaker 7.0. By the way do you have any previous version like 6 or 5 that you could upload instead? Those are abandonware all right.
Thanks!, I got it,
For some reason the Stuffit 5 didn't work for this files, so I upgraded to v7 and ran with no problems.
thanks for the upload.. this is a good program.
I try unpack once more. It's OK. Stuffit Expander 5.5, Mac OS 8.6
I dont know. I unpack it without errors. Use Stuffit 7.0.3
Excuse me but, How do you open this type of files? (.sit_bin )
Because when I try to uncompress them, it opens the Stuffit expander and at first, seems to be Ok
but when the progress line reaches about 10% it goes back to Zero and starts doing it over and over again, this is the same with SheepShaver and Basilisk, also I have the same problem with Adobe Acrobat Pro,
