NOTE: You may get a lot of useless data mixed with your document, or could not read the content. If it happens, try to change the font and delete unwanted data since it will only before or after the document content.

Alternatively, You can use Adobe Pagemaker itself if you haven’t used it before. I don\’t know whether it is available for purchase today, but you may download a free trial Adobe Pagemaker 7.0 from the following link:
