What is a .OFM file?
The .OFM file extension is used for a type of file called an OmniForm Form. This is a special kind of file that works with a program called OmniForm. OmniForm is a software that helps with scanning documents and recognizing the text on them, which is known as OCR (Optical Character Recognition). The .OFM files are created in a unique way by this software, making them "intelligent" forms. This means they can be filled out digitally using a specific part of the OmniForm software called OmniForm Filler.
To open or work with these .OFM files, you would need to use the OmniForm program by a company called Nuance Communications. This program lets you create, fill out, and manage these forms.
Additionally, .OFM files are quite versatile because they include detailed instructions for things like where to place a needle, how it should move, and in which direction it should go. This is particularly useful in embroidery and similar crafts. Unlike some other file types used in embroidery, .OFM files can also hold information about colors. This means they can tell the embroidery machine when to change colors during the stitching process. However, it's important to note that if you're using these files for custom embroidery services, like those offered by Zazzle, the design should not have more than ten colors to be compatible.
