How to open file with .PM6 extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .PM6 file? Do you want to convert a .PM6 file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .PM6

Full Name Developer Category
Adobe PageMaker Document Format Adobe Systems Layout Files
.PM6

The PM6 file extension stands for a PageMaker 6.0 Document created with the now obsolete desktop publishing software, Adobe PageMaker. This document format is still used to some extent today and has been used with several versions of Adobe PageMaker. It is a multi-platform text and graphic-based file, which was commonly used to create publications such as books, pamphlets, magazine articles, newsletters and more.

File Contents

A PageMaker 6.0 document contains text, formatting, graphics and other elements that are used to produce the desired layout of the publication. This includes shapes, imported graphics, fonts, typographic features, before-and-after paragraph markers and tables. PageMaker documents also use master page sheets which contain headers, frames and settings that are applied to multiple pages within the publication.

Compatibility

Although no longer supported or developed by Adobe Systems Inc., PageMaker 6.0 documents can still be opened and edited by various versions of Adobe InDesign, including the latest versions of CS6 and CC (Creative Cloud). Some earlier versions of Microsoft Word may open and edit PM6 documents as well. If not supported by the current version of Word or InDesign, the document should be saved in a newer version such as PMD or IND (InDesign Document). Other similar programs that can open PM6 files include P65, PMD and PM7.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PM6) 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 .PM6 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 .PM6 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 .PM6 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 .PM6 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PM6 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PM6 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 .PM6 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PM6 file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .PM6 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 .PM6 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.
