Correct answer BobLevine

You will need CS6 or earlier to convert those files. Perhaps someone still running it on an older system will be able to help.

I have CS6 and can convert it for you, if you'd like.

Hello! I am an old designer from Chile.

Do you can translate for me an Pagemaker to InDesign.idml?

If you can my mail is [email removed as per forum guidelines]

Thanks so much. Pardon for my poor english.

This seems so correct. Yes PFB part of the font is also present with me.
But I am not sure how do i use it.

Can you please create a video on it. It shall help a lot of people like me
to sort things. I had google for 2days to sort this issue and then finally
asked the community to help as I was feeling out of option.

I am not that pro with the font thing. Moreover, neither of these fonts
shows in the fonts section in InDesign. That's another hurdle for me.

If you wish I shall share the full font folder with you. So that a video
can be created.

@shree_5060 : I forgot to ask what system and CC version you are on.

Hello. I am very glad to hear you explain about CS6. I have pagemaker files from a magazine I did in the early 2000s. I need to open them because I did not save them as pdfs. I have InDesign versions up to 19 something, but I do not have InDesign CS6. I went to prodesigntools.com as you mentioned above. I did not find trial download exe files, just user manuals. Am I missing something?

All the authorized sources for CS6 have been deleted from Adobe servers, I believe...

How many files do you have and how soon do you need them? If @Brad @ Roaring Mouse doesn't pop in shortly and volunteer I can probably do it for you over the weekend, but I'll be unavailable for the next few days.
