Xerox Imaging Systems says that PM Mate is the first software
designed to interface your scanner to Presentation Manager.
Designed specifically for the PM versions of Aldus Pagemaker and
(the as-yet-unannounced) Ventura Publisher, it lets you scan in
camera-ready photographs and line art without having to exit
from your Desktop Publishing program.
 
PM Mate gives you the capability to scan the images, write the
images to a file in TIFF file format, or load them directly into
your publishing program. The program, however, does not include
any image editing capabilities. You'll need an editing program
(such as Corel Draw) to makes changes. Xerox says PM Mate has
extensive online context-sensitive help that lets even the
inexperienced use it easily.
 
Price: $129.
