The PM5 (PageMaker 5.0 Document) file extension is associated with Adobe PageMaker, a desktop publishing program included with Adobe Creative Suite and produced by the Adobe Systems Incorporated. The program was a popular choice for creating newsletters, brochures, magazines, and books. It allowed for multi-page documents as well as master pages, tables, columns, object libraries, and many other powerful tools.
Technical Details
The PM5 file format was introduced with PageMaker 5.0 in 1994 and includes features such as full-color separations and support for RGB, CMYK, and spot color printing. The format consists of both a text component storing document markup and formatting instructions, as well as objects such as images which allow the user to create high-quality documents.
The files are commonly used in typesetting operations and print production environments. It should be noted that they do not support newer features of Adobe Acrobat Pro such as interactive forms. Alphabetically similar file extensions include AM5, BM5, CM5, and FM5.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PM5) 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 .PM5 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 .PM5 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 .PM5 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 .PM5 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PM5 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PM5 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 .PM5 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PM5 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PM5 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
