SDL Trados comes with a lot of documentation Jan 15, 2011

Please try to follow the instructions in chapter "PageMaker Files" in the "SDL Trados 2007 File Formats Reference Guide" which should be available on your PC.

File Format Reference Guide Jan 16, 2011

this document is to be found in your Trados program group, subgroup Documentation - just point to Start, Programs and so on and you get there.
It is worth reading, as it includes a detailed step-by-step description how to process various format. Pagemaker ist detailed described there, among others.
