What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "PMD") to another (referred to as "PDF"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, PMD file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format PMD to format PDF becomes essential.

These tools work by reading the data from the file in format PMD and transforming it into format PDF.
