What is PLAN file?
The PLAN file extension is used by the Calligra Plan Document program, a cross-platform open-source graphical project management application. It allows users to create, view, and edit project plans in native format, producing documents that can be used in the Calligra project planning system. The native PLAN file format is a binary format that contains the project plan, resources used for the plan, associated resources and tasks related to the project, timelines and dependencies.

How to convert the file from PLAN to CATOM?
To successfully convert the PLAN file to CATOM, 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.PLAN). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case CATOM (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 CATOM).
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. PLAN to CATOM. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting PLAN files to CATOM 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 CATOM, while before this step we had the PLAN file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new CATOM file, or not.
