The file type with the file name extension .pmd mainly stands for Adobe PageMaker Document (.pmd). This refers to Adobe PageMaker, a traditional commercial desktop publishing (DTP) product from Adobe Systems that was discontinued in 2004 to give way to Adobe InDesign. Adobe PageMaker doc uses Adobe's proprietary file format to save as .pmd files, so .pmd files are DTP projects created and saved in Adobe PageMaker. It is a container in which plain text is interspersed with binary structures and object data. In addition to PageMaker itself, in the Adobe InDesign CS series, legacy Adobe PageMaker files (.pmd) are somewhat restricted when opened, while in the Adobe InDesign CC support for the PMD format has been dropped.
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is an electronic drawing file format originally developed by AutoCAD and widely used. It is used to exchange and share 2D and 3D graphic data between different CAD (Computer Aided Design) software.
DXF files are in plain text format, which is readable and editable. It can store various types of graphic entities, such as points, lines, circles, polylines, polygons, arcs, text, and so on. In addition, DXF also supports storing metadata information such as layers, colors, linetypes, fonts, sizes, block definitions, and block references.
Due to DXF being an open file format, many CAD software supports importing and exporting DXF files. This enables the exchange of drawing data between different CAD software, facilitating collaboration and collaborative work between designers and engineers.
In DXF files, graphic data is saved in ASCII format and can be viewed and modified using a text editor. The structure of DXF files is clear and easy to parse and process. It is widely used in fields such as mechanical design, architectural design, and circuit design, becoming a universal data exchange standard between CAD software.
