![]() ![]() If they are merely doing PDF archives of the existing documents, then one will want to keep them in PageMaker. Regardless, converting is not the main issue here. If they have that (or any version of ID before that), conversion is possible. No, unfortunately OShea the last version to do so was CS6. ![]() "I think InDesign can still read PM7 files" There was a situation where some updates also required the serial number of a previous version, so it depends on whether the PM7 install disk is a full version or an upgrade. It's a 24-digit number in this format xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. I deal with people everyday that need old files converted (I do it as a billable service), and when faced with the cost of doing that as opposed to the cost of buying current supported software, it's a no : Yes, all PM7 requires is a serial number that came with the software package. The fact is, PM 7 was not designed to run in Win10, and even though it IS possible (I have it running on a Win10 virtual machine) there's nothing to say that the next minor "update" to Windows won't break PM for good, and now your professor is so far away from being able to convert old files to ID (since CS6 was the last version that could do that anyway) that delaying the crossover to ID will be a large lesson in regret. It sounds like you might have found the trial version that way anyway. Since there is so much malware infected versions out there, I hesitate to suggest this, but if you can find a disk image (.iso) "out there" or even buy old disk media on ebay, since you do have your serial number, you should be good to go. Full installers were only available on disk media. Unlike current products, the trial versions of PageMaker were not able to be used for a full install, hence there not being any way to insert your serial.
