The PMD file extension stands for PageMaker Document, a document created by Adobe PageMaker, a desktop publishing (DTP) application. A PMD file contains the text and layout of a publication such as a brochure, letterhead, report, book, or newsletter. The files are stored in the.pmd format and can include picture and vector graphics to create a professional-looking design. Also, fonts and macros may also be included.
Adobe PageMaker Format
The .pmd file format is supported by the majority of the versions of Adobe PageMaker from release 5.0 to 6.5. It is important to note that Adobe PageMaker is no longer being developed and is not supported by the company; however, the files can still be opened and edited as long as you have access to one of the most recent versions that supports it. Additionally, many new versions of Adobe Creative Suite products such as InDesign or Illustrator that can be used to convert and edit these documents.
Related File Formats
In addition to .pmd files, Adobe PageMaker also supports the saving of publications in other formats such as PDF or HTML. Additionally, PageMaker documents can be converted to other text document formats such as RTF or TXT using third-party conversion software. Some related file extensions for this program include .pmt, .pm6, .pmi, and .pmw.
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 .PMD) 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 .PMD 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 .PMD 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 .PMD 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 .PMD extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PMD file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PMD 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 .PMD file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PMD file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PMD file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
