ALD2 files are associated with Adobe PageMaker for Mac. Adobe PageMaker was used to create and arrange page layouts containing text, images, and other elements for print and digital publishing.
This is a legacy PageMaker data format intended for use with the Mac version of the application. It is not a modern, general-purpose document format, and its exact role may depend on the PageMaker publication or other files with which it was created.
Adobe PageMaker is discontinued, so the format is no longer in active use. A compatible installation or legacy Mac environment may be required to access an ALD2 file.
Open an ALD2 file with Adobe PageMaker for Mac on a compatible Mac environment. If PageMaker does not open the file directly, it may be supporting data that must remain with the related PageMaker publication.
Current versions of Apple macOS may not run this legacy software natively.
If Adobe PageMaker recognizes the file as part of a publication, use PageMaker's own save or export functions to create an output file from that publication.
An ALD2 file that is only supporting data cannot usually be converted meaningfully on its own.
