What is DBM file?
The DBM (ColdFusion Server) file extension is used for a server resource file created by Adobe ColdFusion, an application server used for creating dynamic web pages. This file format stores server variables, such as cookies and queries, used by the application server. They are mainly called “database files” as they are metadata about the data in the database. The files may contain queries, stored procedures, triggers, forms, or griddata. [ ⏩ ] DBM file extension

How to convert the file from DBM to PDF?
To successfully convert the DBM file to PDF, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.DBM). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case PDF (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than PDF).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. DBM to PDF. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting DBM files to PDF files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension PDF, while before this step we had the DBM file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new PDF file, or not.
