Troubles Opening PMG Files

Adobe InDesign is Not Installed

When you double-click your PMG file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Adobe InDesign for %%os%% installed on your computer. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.

Tip: If you don't have Adobe InDesign installed, and you know of another program to open your PMG file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

Wrong Version of Adobe InDesign is Installed

Sometimes your installed version of Adobe InDesign won't support your PageMaker Group File file. If you do not have the proper version Adobe InDesign (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This problem is predominately due to having a PageMaker Group File file version that was created by a newer version of Adobe InDesign than what you have installed on your PC.

Tip: Right-clicking on your PMG, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.

Conclusion: The majority of PMG file opening issues are due to not having the correct Adobe InDesign version installed.
