Adobe's previous efforts toward creating this open source tool have included developing an image viewer called the 'GC browser,' a music player called the 'AGM Music Player,' and a word processor similar to Quark.

Adobe Pagemaker is no longer part of Adobe Systems Incorporated, as reported by Adobe Systems VP of marketing communications, David Glazier.
