The FDM file extension is used with Exchange Forms Designer Form Message files. This type of file is used by the Exchange Forms Designer software, which enables users to create custom forms in an custom and enterprise organization environment. Exchange Forms Designer helps users streamline business processes that require the use of forms as part of their workflow.
Exchange Forms Designer Form Message files are XML-based and hold all the definitions and settings required for a specific form. The FDM file extension defines the form solutions for all browsers, such as MS Office, Input Forms, Web Forms, and other types of forms. These files are widely used for collecting data from a variety of sources such as questionnaires, surveys, and subscription forms. The FDM file is stored in the user's computer and includes all the design information, which is then merged into the HTML markup during form rendering.
Uses for FDM Files
FDM files can be used to create custom forms including online surveys, invoice forms, educational forms, questionnaires, registration documents, and a variety of other common forms. All these forms can later be used by the user's web browser or an Office applications. FDM files are commonly used with XSF, CFM, and MDC file formats.
Creating FDM Files
The user can create an FDM file in Exchange Forms Designer by selecting a template and editing it in Design View or Source View. Design view provides several customization tools like text boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons and dropdowns for quick design customization without needing to manually enter the code. HTML manipulation is also available in the source view for more advanced users who require it. Once finished creating or editing a form solution file, users can save it as an FDM extension to be used with other applications.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FDM) 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 .FDM 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 .FDM 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 .FDM 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 .FDM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FDM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FDM 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 .FDM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FDM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FDM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
