Troubleshoot PMF Files


Common PMF Opening Problems

ESRI ArcGIS for Desktop is Not Installed

If you attempt to load your PMF file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open PMF Files". If so, it typically means that you don't have ESRI ArcGIS for Desktop installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your PMF with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: When another PMF application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Incorrect ESRI ArcGIS for Desktop Version

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a ESRI Published Map File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Installing the latest version of ESRI ArcGIS for Desktop from ESRI (Environmental Systems Research Institute) is recommended. Your ESRI Published Map File file was probably created by a newer release of ESRI ArcGIS for Desktop than what's currently installed your computer.


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


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening PMF files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


Other Causes of PMF File Opening Problems

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of ESRI ArcGIS for Desktop will resolve your issue. Other PMF opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Additional factors include:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for PMF
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry PMF description
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the PMF format
  • Something has caused file corruption of your PMF
  • The PMF is infected with a virus
  • Drivers associated with PMF software need to be updated
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the ESRI Published Map File format
