Please bring back PageMaker file (.PMD) support or a conversion option in new InDesign versions

Hello Adobe Team,  

 

I would like to request that Adobe InDesign once again include support (or at least a conversion feature) for opening **PageMaker (.PMD)** files.  

 

Many designers and publishers still have important archives created in PageMaker, and it has become very difficult to access or update those files since modern InDesign (CC versions) no longer supports them.  

 

Even a simple **"Convert PMD to INDD/IDML"** option or a **legacy import plug-in** would be extremely useful. It would save time, preserve historical work, and help users migrate old projects without depending on outdated software like InDesign CS6.

 

I Know this is Very Old but if Including this Feature Indesign Again Market Leader and Forever.... I have tried many times to switch to InDesign, but I couldn’t because of this problem. I don’t just have one or two PageMaker files — I have a lot of them, and converting or recreating each one is very difficult. That’s why it would be really helpful if the new version of InDesign included a feature that supports opening or converting PageMaker files again. Please consider adding this feature.
