Advantages: A classic for DTP...

Disadvantages: Nothing new in the + version!

Except for a new box, a new tool bar and a few templates, Adobe has not really brought anything new to their dying DTP package.

Pagemaker was first created by Aldus in the early eighties when DTP was born on Macs. It then got bought by Adobe which surely developped it further but it finally lost its battle against Quark Xpress.

Don't get me wrong, Pagemaker 6.52 is great, but the Plus version is a con-trick for sure...Adobe just tried to extend its life for a few extra months before the release of InDesign 1.0

I think that you can now upgrade for quite a good price from PM 6.5 + to InDesign...hopefully!

If you're new at DTP go for InDesign 1.5
