How to convert xls to pmd file

As far as we know, the only way to produce .pmd spreadsheets from MS Excel sources (.xls, .xlsx) is to use PlanMaker. It appears the PMD format used in PlanMaker is not that well supported in other spreadsheet programs, perhaps with the exception of programs based on Ashmapoo software. Nonetheless several more file types use pmd extension, so it might be very well possible that some other type of xlsx to pmd conversion exists.

Understanding XLS and PMD file formats

XLS is a file format used by Microsoft Excel, a popular spreadsheet application. It stores data in a tabular format, allowing users to perform calculations, create charts, and analyze data efficiently. XLS files are widely used for financial analysis, data management, and reporting.

PMD is a file format associated with Adobe PageMaker, a desktop publishing software. PMD files are used to create and design professional-quality publications such as brochures, newsletters, and flyers. They contain text, images, and layout information, making them suitable for print and digital media.

Converting XLS to PMD

Converting an XLS file to a PMD file involves transferring data from a spreadsheet format to a desktop publishing format. This process is useful when you need to incorporate spreadsheet data into a publication layout. However, direct conversion is not straightforward due to the different nature of these file formats.

Best software for XLS to PMD conversion

While there is no direct converter for XLS to PMD, you can use a combination of software tools to achieve the conversion:

  • Microsoft Excel: Open your XLS file in Excel and format the data as needed. Then, use File → Save As to save the data in a format compatible with Adobe PageMaker, such as CSV or RTF.
  • Adobe PageMaker: Import the saved CSV or RTF file into PageMaker. Use File → Place to insert the data into your publication layout. Adjust the layout and design as necessary to fit your publication needs.

By using these tools, you can effectively transfer data from an XLS file into a PMD file, allowing you to incorporate spreadsheet data into your desktop publishing projects.
