How to open PMD file?

After double-clicking on the unknown file icon, the system should open it in the default software that supports it. If this does not happen, download and install the Adobe PageMaker software and then manually associate the file with it.

  1. PMD files are used by Adobe PageMaker 6 or later. They can also be opened by Adobe InDesign, the successor to PageMaker. However, only Adobe InDesign CS6 or older will open PMD files. InDesign CC does not open PMD files.
  2. In the following table, you can find a list of programs that can open files with.pmd extension.This list is created by collecting extension information reported by users through the 'send report' option of FileTypesMan utility. The product name, description, and company name are taken from the version information of the.exe file.The 'Actions' list is taken from the context menu items added.

Step 1. Download and install Adobe PageMaker

If '.pmd' file exists in your project and referent with ruleset.xml, you can solve your issue choosing between the above solutions. Delete.pmd file open your ruleset.xml, and your configuration according this sample.

If there is no Adobe PageMaker or similar software in the system that supports files with the PMD extension, you must first download and install it. Below you will find a list of the most-used applications that work with PMD. After going to the subpage of the program you will find a link to the developer's website, where you can safely download the software installer.

Step 2. Associate Adobe PageMaker with the PMD file extension

If the user already has one of the applications installed, the next step will be to associate it with the file extension PMD. This can be done in two ways - one is to manually edit the Windows Registry and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT keys. The second way is simpler and definitely recommended for less advanced users.

  • Right click on the unknown PMD file you want to open
  • Select 'Open with' from the menu
  • Click 'Choose another application'
  • Click 'More applications'
  • Click 'Find more applications on this PC' and indicate the installation location of the appropriate program
  • Finally, select the 'Always use the selected program to open PMD files' option and confirm the whole operation.

Remember! Manually editing the system registry is only recommended for advanced users, and changes made to it without proper knowledge may result in damage to the system.

Step 3. Check out other possible problems related to PMD files.

Sometimes it happens that despite having the right application and the correct configuration, there are still problems with opening the PMD files. You should then find out what is the reason of the problem.

  • Check if the PMD file is not infected - When the file PMD is infected with a virus or malware, it probably will not be able to be opened correctly. In this case, scan the PMD file and take the actions recommended by the antivirus program installed on the system. Most often it is disinfection or deletion of an infected file.
  • Check if you, as the operating system user, have appropriate permissions to work with the file PMD
  • Check if the icon is an element of the correct file but not only a shortcut to the location where the PMD file no longer exists.
  • Check that the system has the necessary resources to run the Adobe PageMaker application and open the PMD file.
  • Check if the file is complete - Sometimes it happens that the PMD file was not copied completely from the external Flash memory, or downloaded from the Internet. When the file is incomplete, it is not possible to open it correctly. In this case, please download or copy the file PMD again.

Step 4. Contact an IT expert

When all of the above methods have failed, it remains to contact an IT specialist or developers of the ADOBE PAGEMAKER program.

Possible problems with the PAGEMAKER format files

The inability to open and operate the PAGEMAKER file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the file. Below is a list of possible problems.

  • Corruption of a PAGEMAKER file which is being opened
  • Incorrect links to the PAGEMAKER file in registry entries.
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the PAGEMAKER from the Windows registry
  • Incomplete installation of an application that supports the PAGEMAKER format
  • The PAGEMAKER file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
  • The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the PAGEMAKER file.
  • Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a PAGEMAKER file are out of date.

If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the PAGEMAKER file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the PAGEMAKER file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the PAGEMAKER file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. PAGEMAKER) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
