What is a .FM file?
A .FM file is a type of document that you can make using a program called Adobe FrameMaker. Adobe FrameMaker is a special software that people use when they want to create, make better, organize, and share documents that are often technical. This means if someone is making a manual, a report, or any kind of document that explains how things work, they might use Adobe FrameMaker.
The .FM file contains details about how a page should look. This includes everything that goes on the page and how it should be arranged, especially if the page is going to be printed out or put on the internet. Sometimes, these .FM files are just single pages that someone wants to share by themselves. Other times, they are part of a bigger project, like a book, which in FrameMaker is called a .BOOK file.
If you have a .FM file and you want to open it, you need to use Adobe FrameMaker. Since the .FM file is made specifically for this program, Adobe FrameMaker is the best tool to view, edit, or manage these files. You can't easily open a .FM file with other programs because they might not understand the special way the information is organized in the file.
