Open PM6 archives in InDesign

[Paulo Pereira]

Good morning

I have made books in PM6 until 2014, and now I need to open them in InDesign to republish them. I've tried but without sucess. Can anyone help me?

Best regards

Mac or Windows?

I believe the last version that can open PM files is ID CS6.

Here are some options I can think of:

You can  try to find someone still using CS6 and see if they will convert them for you.

You can also try contacting Markzware and see if their file conversion service can support PM to ID. 

If you can still open PM or have PDFs of the books, a couple of companies, including Markzware, make utilities to convert PDFs to ID files.

Hello Paulo,

Depending on the number of files to convert, I would be happy to do them for you using CS6 at no cost. You would need to upload them to a service such as dropbox or the like and send me a PM to download them.

Do know that depending on the contents, the conversion will range from OK to good. But not likely perfect.
