Hello,

I am looking for someone that could help me by opening a 2001 .pmd (or .p65) file I have and saving it as an .indd. I've tried all that is possible suggestions I've got so far and have been researching all over the web but none of the solutions I've found are working for me. I don't have and can't find a InDesign CS version that works.

Does anyone here provide this service or could kindly open the file for me?

Thank you!

Correct answer John D Herzog

I just opened up a PMD in LibreOffice, although it was a PMD autogenerated from one of our printers.

Yes, to my surprise it did work. And it is true, that it does not hold a lot of the formatting, but it is a whole lot better than re-typing a 640 page novel. thanks

If you want you can send me a link to your file on priv - please click my nickname - I still have CS6 so can convert it for you.

Supposedly LibreOffice can open PageMaker files. I don't know how well it does and you would have to export out as a PDF to get it back into the Adobe system.

I have not heard anything about Libre Office being able to do that.
