Why should I stop using Pagemaker

I have been using Pagemaket 7 for many years, what benefits would justify an upgrade to Indesign considering costs & learning process!

The capabilities of Indesign make pagemaker seem like a toy.
I'm not sure how fancy your forms are, so the graphics handling may not be important.
Graphics handling is much better with support for transparencies, built in gradients, drop shadows, bevels  etc. Much improved support for placed pdfs. Real color mangement, Separation panels, great for spot colors, etc.
For text I would think you could use things like character styles, better paragraph rules, page based baseline grids, nested styles and most importantly Native support of tables.
Although I haven't used it there is in CS6 added support for interactive forms.
I'm sure there are many other things that would help in forms that I have missed.
There will be a bit of adjustment, some people have a harder time than others. After a short time you wouldn't even think of going back to pagemaker.

  • Why should still we use String though we have StringBuffer?

    I hope StringBuffer is best instead of String. Since StringBuffer grows itselfs when the content increases with out creating new object .
    So now I have a question, Why should still we use String though we have StringBuffer? whether do you any proper reason or situation to go for String ?

    I hope StringBuffer is best instead of String.StrngBuilder is better than StringBuffer in Java 5.0. Both are different from Strings.
    Since
    StringBuffer grows itselfs when the content increases
    with out creating new object .Which is not necessarily a good thing. Strings can be relied upon not to change
    So now I have a question, Why should still we use
    String though we have StringBuffer? whether do you
    any proper reason or situation to go for String ?One reason: you can't intern StringBuffers and thus save on instantiation effort and emory space. You can do that with Strings because they cannot be modified.

  • Why should I continue using Mozilla when it fails to recognize legitimate web sites

    Why should'nt I use Windows Explorer as Mozilla refuses access ?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Firefox no longer safe, can't update on this operating system... should I stop using it?

    A message popped up saying that Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks... upgrade today.
    I have an older G4 mac powerbook laptop with OS 10.4 and when I went to update Firefox it said that I was not able to do it because the OS won't allow it... Do I need to stop using Firefox???
    Thanks for a reply,

    This is the message:
    " Security Warning. Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party."
    Correct?
    Does this happen on a specific site? This is a problem for the web site to solve, not Firefox.
    Just because Internet Explorer 8 is not warning you about it, does not mean information is being sent encrypted on any given page.
    You can turn these warnings off: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window+-+Security+panel#Security_Warnings_Dialog

  • Should i stop using this power supply??

    ok i know that i asked toooo much about my pc but forgive me i am sorry
    i searched for new Power suplly but the best is only 400 watt (+12---15a)
    so. should i use my one tell get an other or stop tell buy new one . is there any danger on my pc from using this week psu
    thanks
    my pc spec:
    pro:p4 3.2 1mb cash fsb 800
    board: Msi 865 PE NEO2 P SERIES
    VGA : HERCULES RADEON 8500
    SOUND : CREATIVE LIVE
    POWER SUPLY : 300W
    +3.3V 12A
    +12V 12A
    -12V 0.5A
    +5V 22A
    -5V 0.5A

    Let me repeat this one last time.
    You current PSU is too weak with only 300watts to spare and only 12A on +12v for a Prescott system. That's not the end. I've told you that a minimum of 18A ~ 20A is needed for any Prescott system and still you choose this 400watts with only 15A. This 15A on +12v PSU will not help out much nor long enough even if it can struggle for a few months, period at times.
    Get something like Antec 430watts TruePower or Enermax 465watts or above PSU that has met the requirements of a Power Hunger Prescott.
    Right now you situation is like trying to ask a person who's already starving from hunger to take 1 piece of bread per day and later told him that he can have a cup of water to go with the bread which isn't enough to kill the hunger as he needs more than what is provided.

  • Why should I NOT use Finder to remove old TM backups?

    I have a new Macbook Pro running Mavericks, and my old Macbook was backed up to an external hard drive using Time Machine.
    I want to create some space on the external drive, but I don't want to delete all of my prior backups, in case I find out later that something I migrated to the new machine is corrupted or broken.  I understand you can delete old backups using either TM or Finder (or Terminal, but I don't feel comfortable with that), but many posts I've read warn against deleting old backups using Finder; is this a bad idea, and if so, why?
    Also, I know that TM creates hard links to files that are in previous backups, rather than actually making multiple copies of the same folder. Are the actual files stored in the backups.backupdb folder, or in a different location?
    Thanks!

    Time machine is an incremental backup - if you back up everything you can restore your hard drive to a point in the past - hourly - last 24 hours - end of day - last month - end of week until Time machine starts consolidating for room.
    Time machine does an initial full backup - all other backups are files that changed only. You will get large backups if you rebuild IPHOTO library as that entire library will be backed up rather than only that which changed.
    Cleanup is the point where daily is merged into weekly (most recent in the time frame is kept) and hourly is merged into a daily so you may see GB used on your time machine drive decrease or fluctuate around a point for a period of time.
    Also means you can restore folder, items, and at least in snow leopard - if you want one IPHOTO picture - simple open IPHOTO - then go into time machine and you can get it.
    In Yosemite - time machine if active will keep missed backups on your hard drive until you connect the TM drive (that is new for lap tops I guess)
    Desktop I keep time machine connected and the hourly backups and cleanups don't cause any problems.
    If a file does not change there may be only one backup on the TM drive.
    If you want to keep a backup of something you downloaded - but want to delete it off your hard drive - back it up to a separate device - as time machine will eventually remove it from TM.
    If you want to delete something on time machine that you no longer want user enter time machine - does prompt you if you want to remove all instances of the item.    Doing it that way will keep the chain clean.

  • Should I stop using Firefox now that Mozilla is headed by a homophobe?

    At issue is Brendan Eich, a co-founder of Mozilla, inventor of the much used Javascript programming language and the newly appointed CEO of the company. Eich made a $1,000 donation to the campaign for California's Proposition 8, which defined marriage as only between a man and a woman. The donation had come to light in 2012, but fizzled.

  • Why should I ever use iBooks to purchase books for iPhone again?

    I have purchased books from my iPad and opened them in iBooks. I now cannot transfer/sync them with my iPhone or iMac. Mac products have always been supportive of their users. However, this is a slap in the face of loyal users (me, since 1988)
    Doesn't anyone know of a way to transfer iBooks content from iPad to my iPhone? ( I noticed that Apple has been conspicuously absent in resolving this issue for years— much the same way as it handled the iMovie fiasco in 2010.)

    Bob McAdams wrote:
    I purchased a document in pdf format;

  • Why should i use Ipod

    Hey guys,
    i want to know why should i want use ipod .. i am having a Philips Mp3 Player .. Whats the Difference between an ordinary mp3 player and ipod .. If the Question looks like silly am sorry .. i want to knowthe salient features of ipod comparing to other Mp3 players!

    The iPod has what some people call an "ecosystem." That means there are a lot of companies creating and selling thousands of accessories that work with iPods. It means that car companies are building iPod connectivity into cars. It means the iPod becomes more than an "ordinary MP3 player," and such accessories and options are not available for players that are not iPods.
    You also have iTunes. The iTunes software (even without the Store) is the best program for managing and playing your digital music collection on your computer (Mac or PC), and integrates using an iPod as part of the experience. If you choose to use the optional Store, you can buy media to play on the computer or on your iPod, from the world largest and most diverse collection (including free downloads and podcasts).
    All iPod's except for the shuffle can now play video. I don't know if your "Philips Mp3 Player" is a +media player+ or just an MP3 Player. The best iPod is obviously the iPod touch; it's basically a tiny touch-controlled computer with WiFi and a browser. Doing a comparison between the iPod touch and an MP3 Player would be like comparing a typewriter to a computer.
    If you are happy with your player and what it does, an iPod probably won't do those things any better. It's the combination of iPod, iTunes, and third-party accessories/options that makes using an iPod "better."

  • Should I keep using keywords in addition to faces?

    Normally I would use keywords to identify each person in my photos. Now that I have faces, should I stop using keywords to identify people? What do you guys think?
    Thanks!

    I agree with Larry. If you want to share your photos with others with PC their applications will only read the keywords, titles and description metadata and not the faces. Keywords are, IMO, very important.

  • Should I stop now?

    I heard there is a problem with items going missing in 08. should I stop using it until 2.0.2? I use iWebsites software and I am presently using a copy of my domain.sites file. I guess if things go wrong I can go back to my masteer domain file. I just won't make a butch of changes...

    Tony:
    Do you have multiple sites that you're using with iWebSites or are all the sites in one domain file? If it's the latter then there should be no problem. However, if you have multiple domain sites then there is a big problem. iWeb 2 will delete the previously published site when publishing a new site. Do a search for multiple sites in this forum and you'll find several topics that go into this in detail.

    Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family  and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

    I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?
    Regards

  • Why should i use Apple 'Mail' if i use others like G-Mail?

    Simply:  Can or should i just remove 'A-Mail' so it's icon stops jumping & bothering me to sign up? 
    •THANK YOU, and gratitude to whoever can help me unerstan.
    *I'm 67 and not up to speed on such things.
    BACKGROUND, if necessary:
    •For years I've used only the Mail service of my ISP, Dslextreme ('DSLX').
    I've never used Apple 'Mail' , & never set it up to service mail from any of the mail services that i do use.
    I never activated 'A-Mail'  and i don't think there is mail in it.  Nor have i deactivated 'A-Mail', and it's still on my screen in the 'Dock'.
    •But from time to time, and inexplicably to me,  the 'A-Mail' icon seems prompted to start 'jumping' and wanting me to use it somehow, like sign up for it.  This was a minor annoyance so i just clicked to close it and so ignored it and moved on.
    This seems to happen when a website i'm on wants me to e-mail them and on their page i seem only have a choice to use 'A-Mail', none other, so i am pre-cluded from communication.
    •Just recently DSLextreme switched all us users over to G-Mail.   They turned over their mail operation to GMail and urged us to also getting a G-Account, which i have finally done.
    •I know that A-Mail 'works with the most popular email systems' like G-Mail.
    •"A-Mail"  = Apple's 'MAIL'.   To avoid confusion caused by the generic word 'Mail',  I'm going to call Apple's 'Mail' "A-Mail".
    I've spent over an hour trying to make my problem clear to you.    I hope i have succeeded.

    Apple mail is simply the default email application in OS X. It is not an email service/email address.
    Using an email application, you can read all your email in the same place and store them on your local drive.
    To answer your question, "Why should i use Apple 'Mail' if i use others like G-Mail?"
    You use a mail application for the same reason you use the internet when you could simply drive to the store to buy things or go get a newspaper or go to the library or go to the movie theater, etc.
    But from time to time, and inexplicably to me,  the 'A-Mail' icon seems prompted to start 'jumping' and wanting me to use it somehow, like sign up for it.  This was a minor annoyance so i just clicked to close it and so ignored it and moved on.
    This seems to happen when a website i'm on wants me to e-mail them and on their page i seem only have a choice to use 'A-Mail', none other, so i am pre-cluded from communication
    because the website is attempting to open your email application.
    Sounds like you simply use a web browser to view all your email.
    If you want to send an email from a web page, you need to copy an email address,  open your email account in your web browser, create a new email and paste the address.
