FORMAT QUESTIONS
About PM6 files
What is PM6 best used for?
PM6 works especially well for recovering newsletters, brochures, and other fixed-page print layouts.
What can change during conversion?
Linked graphics, fonts, text flow, and printer-specific settings may not import completely. Features that do not exist in the chosen output format cannot be carried across exactly.
Should I keep the original PM6 file?
Yes. Keep the original until you have opened the result and checked its layout, quality, data, media tracks, or other important details.
