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.
The PLY format is a 3D model format developed and released in 1994, primarily used to store 3D data from 3D digital scanners. The format, also known as the Polygon File Format and Stanford Triangle Format, can be either binary or text-based.
The file format stores 3D geometric information, such as vertices, faces, vertex normals, colors, and other custom data. Many PLY models still use this format, available for download, and PLY files can be loaded into popular 3D applications such as Blender.
