Andy P. put me on this and pass it on here.

This would useful for those with the Page Maker files previously offered by Steiner years ago (got mine back in 2005 or so).

With LibreOffice you can now open Pagemaker files into LibreDraw. It looked very faithful except for the border was missing.

Here is a screen shot where I look the Great Britain Page Maker files and opened in Draw. Each page gets created.



In the process of trying to get these files into Scribus (running 1.5.3) I discovered Scribus can actually open Page Maker files and the conversion looks. I noticed in the conversion the borders are missing and the text boxes for the text inside the frame shows as overflow but there is no issue if you tweak the text box. Also, Scribus can open Draw files too.

Are all of these programs paid or are any of the free?

LibreOffice and Scribus are free but you can donate to them.

It would be nice to be able to edit the newer pages that are only pdf files. Anyone know of a free program that can do that?

You can convert PDF's to Power Point and then edit them.
