I am reverting your edits. PDF-XChange is almost an exact replica of Adobe Acrobat and Acrobat is a form of desktop publishing. I think a lot of people are getting confused with desktop publishing that doesn't stress or include on graphic technologies such as Encapsulated PostScript, typsetting aren't desktop publishing which isn't true. Technical Documentation datasheet and User Manuals commonly design through InDesign or Acrobat depending on preference are also desktop publishing. --Ramu50 (talk) 21:51, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Do you even read, I said "I think most people are confused," that it must be this way. Desktop Publishing is only graphic design, that is totally WP:OR. Just because desktop publishing have a large industry that utilize journalism, magazine that doesn't make it novels, technical documentations and yearly reports are not Desktop Publishing, less functions doesn't justify it is not a DTP. PDF-XChange, the viewing is only one of its function, as said before it has all of the function of Adobe Acrobat.
Just because, Adobe make it for easier interchange assist in meetings, that doesn't mean desktop publishing software can't be Layout orientated versus Graphic orientated. Says by who Desktop publishing main content focus must be graphics. Newspaper buisness reports often uses diagrams, tree charts also.
These tools aren't DTP
I've seen The Vancouver Sun publish their documents on pdf file before. Newspaper is definately DTP. --Ramu50 (talk) 21:03, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Interactive Graphic Design is only a spectrum of Desktop Design. The field Desktop Design includes
though too interactive like swf flash and rich internet applications would be totally off topic. Than I suppose we should add interchange section, it is quite big on the web and shouldn't be ignored. PDF and FrameMaker would be interchange, but QuarkXPress would totally be not DTP. It functionality is too limited and would be more correctly classified as a vector editing software like Adobe Illustrator. --Ramu50 (talk) 17:42, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
See Category:Desktop publishing software. The category is shown as a subcat of itself and the category page is shown (at bottom) as being categorized with itself. Can someone fix this please. Thanks, tooold (talk) 17:22, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
I moved commercial software to proprietary software because free software can also be commercial for the definition of freedom itself. In addition I propose to move the list freeware to the proprietary software section, because that also includes freeware, shareware, demo, ecc. --Valerio Bozzolan (talk) 21:42, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
