Lesson 9 Newsletter on the Web Built-in support for both HTML and PDF in PageMaker 7.0 makes it easier to publish new or existing PageMaker ﬁles online. In this project you will prepare a back issue of a news- letter for the Web. You will add hyperlinks, or active areas, to the newsletter, so that your audience can navigate to different pages or Web sites. Then you’ll export and view the newsletter in PDF and HTML, comparing how each format affects the production work- ﬂow and the readability of the publication.
