How to open file with .CFM extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .CFM file? Do you want to convert a .CFM file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .CFM

Full Name Developer Category
Adobe ColdFusion Template Format Adobe Systems Web Files
.CFM

The .cfm file extension is associated with the popular web development tool, Adobe ColdFusion. This markup language is extensively used in the development of Active Server Pages (ASP) and server-side scripts.

Technical Details

The .cfm file contains ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML), which is an interpreted script language that can be used to generate HTML, JavaScript, XML, and other dynamic pages, as well as manipulate datasets of structured information. It is mainly used for creating data-driven, content-driven web applications that can accomplish database integration.

It is similar to other web development markup languages such as HTML. CFML allows developers to quickly create complex dynamic webpages. It supports powerful modern scripting language such as JavaScript, PERL and others, and it also supports SQL data sources and database systems like Access, SQL Server or Oracle. CFML files are similar to other scripting files such as cfc,.swf,.hsf and many more.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CFM) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .CFM extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .CFM file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .CFM extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .CFM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CFM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CFM file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .CFM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CFM file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .CFM file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .CFM file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
