Convert PMP to PDF

Understanding the pmp and pdf file formats

PMP files are project management files primarily associated with PlanMaker, a spreadsheet application that is part of the SoftMaker Office suite. These files store spreadsheet data, formulas, charts, and formatting. PDF (Portable Document Format) is a widely used file format developed by Adobe for presenting documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, or operating systems. PDF files are ideal for sharing and printing as they preserve the original layout and formatting.
