PMD files have a 'Low' Popularity Rating; this means that they are not present on most devices. To learn more about PMD files and their associated software applications, please see the information below. Plus, we provide a basic troubleshooting guide to solve problems with opening PMD files.
- If you open your Creative Cloud panel (where you install and update the software), you can download previous versions. Select Other Versions and then CS6.
- Check if the PMD file is not infected - When the file PMD is infected with a virus or malware, it probably will not be able to be opened correctly. In this case, scan the PMD file and take the actions recommended by the antivirus program installed on the system. Most often it is disinfection or deletion of an infected file.
Have a problem opening a .PMD file? We collect information about file formats and can explain what PMD files are. Additionally we recommend software suitable for opening or converting such files.
What is the .PMD file type?
The file type primarily represented by the filename extension .pmd is Adobe PageMaker Document (.pmd). This refers to Adobe PageMaker, a legacy commercial Desktop Publishing (DTP) product by Adobe Systems, discontinued in 2004 to give way to Adobe InDesign. Adobe PageMaker documents were saved as .pmd files using Adobe's proprietary file format, so a .pmd file is a DTP project created and saved in Adobe PageMaker. It is a container in which plain text is interspersed with binary structure and object data. Beside PageMaker itself, legacy Adobe PageMaker documents (.pmd) can be opened with certain limitations in the Adobe InDesign CS series, while in Adobe InDesign CC the support for the PMD format was dropped.

Alternatively, the .pmd extension belongs to the PlanMaker Spreadsheet Document (.pmd) file type used by and associated with FreeOffice PlanMaker. PlanMaker is a spreadsheet component of the free-to-use proprietary office productivity software named FreeOffice by SoftMaker. PlanMaker documents (.pmd) are saved using a SoftMaker's own file format that uses Microsoft's OLE2 Compount Document Storage container. A .pmd file may contain tabular spreadsheet data with multiple references to charts or diagrams. PlanMaker spreadsheets (.pmd) can be meaningfully opened using FreeOffice PlanMaker only.
Another file type denoted by the .pmd extension is MikuMikuDance Stage (.pmd). It is associated with a free 3D animation program named MikuMikuDance (MMD) by Yu Higuchi that allows to create complex animating involving dancing movements, vocals, and backstage effects. MMD uses several stage file types (.pmd, .x, .pmx). A single .pmd file contains a set of resources that define the dancing stage and the actor's model, along with other data. Several dedicated editors exist to work with MMD models and stage files (.pmd, .x, .pmx).
The .pmd extension also designates the Poser Morph Data (.pmd) file type that belongs to Poser, a commercial 3D scene animation solution by Smith Micro Software. One of the numerous file types used by Poser, the .pmd file combines 3D scene descriptions with the so-called Morph Data that defines object transformation rules. Morph data (.pmd) files are not used with all Poser content. Besides Poser, .pmd morph data files can be used with other 3D modeling tools.
Additionally, the .pmd extension is used by the FastReporter 2 post-processing software (EXFO Inc.) to denote Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) measurement files obtained as a result of running diagnostic checks on a fiberoptic cable. Such .pmd files contain measurement data and can be opened using the 32-bit version of FastReporter 2.

PMD/PMX Editor's DirectXPmd File Not Opening Tool
MISSING DLL ERROR FIX 12/25/2013
For people with Windows 7/8 there is a very important step you need to do in avoiding the missing .dll error pop ups at the start of PMD or PMX editors installation.
Here are the steps you need to take
1. Download the file but DO NOT UNZIP IT YET. (If you have the Missing .dll errors now you need to re-download the folder and do these steps!)
2. Right Click on the folder and click properties.
3. 'This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer.' When you see this message you want to click the 'Unblock' button.
4. Now you can Unzip your folder and there will NEVER be a missing .dll file ever again!
NO PMD VIEW WINDOW FIX (5/9/2014):
If you receive an ERROR (in is in Japanese FYI) at the start of PMD Editor opening that does NOT allow the PMD View Window to open, then you will need to update all the programs with the links below. BUT FIRST DOWNLOAD ALL THE LINKS BELOW THIS UPDATE, IF YOU DON'T THESE UPDATES WILL NOT WORK. THANK YOU!
It seems that you might need to update Net Framework, C++, and direct X 9.
Please download the following three updates after installing the MAIN program links below:
www.microsoft.com/en-us/downlo…
www.microsoft.com/en-us/downlo…
www.microsoft.com/en-us/downlo…

Where you Download the program:
Direct Site Link:kkhk22.seesaa.net/article/2829…
(Scroll down until you find PMD Editor 0.1.3.9 or if you want PMX Editor)
PROGRAMS YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO RUN PMD EDITOR 0.1.3.9/PMX EDITORThe following files must be double clicked and installed: C++, Net framework, and Direct X 9.0 (just like you would install a video game or another program like Firefox). The only thing that just needs to be extracted is PMX or PMD editor. PLEASE DO NOT JUST STICK THESE PROGRAM FILES INTO THE FOLDER OF PMX/PMD EDITOR. THAT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING!
NET FRAMEWORK 4.0(ALREADY INCLUDED FOR WINDOWS 8, IF YOU ARE A WINDOWS 8 USER PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD.)
Free Microsoft Download:www.microsoft.com/en-us/downlo…
I recommend Downloading NET Framework 3.5 first:www.microsoft.com/en-us/downlo…

IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS 8 DOWNLOAD THIS LINK INSTEAD OF THE ONE ABOVE. ALSO DOWNLOAD THIS ONE EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE WINDOWS 8!!!:www.microsoft.com/en-us/downlo…
C++ REDISTRIBUTION PACKAGE 2010(ALREADY INCLUDED FOR WINDOWS 8, IF YOU ARE A WINDOWS 8 USER PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD.)
(You need to check if you computer is 32/64 bit for this package. Just because you have Windows 7/8 doesn't mean that you have a 64 bit computer. Please check!)
Microsoft Download:
This is 32 Bit (also known as x86) (For Windows XP/7):www.microsoft.com/en-us/downlo…
This is 64 Bit (Windows 7/8):www.microsoft.com/en-us/downlo…
(YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED THIS! IF YOU DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS, PMD EDITOR WILL CRASH BEFORE START UP. OLD VERSIONS OF C++ 2008 ARE NOT SUPPORTED!)
Seriously that's it now! I know it is many downloads but they are all safe and free because they are from MICROSOFT.

PMDEditor English Transalation
Edit - I am no longer answering questions. A lot of you ask questions I obviously can't answer 'my computer cant handle pmd what can I do' uhm nothing because your computer cant handle it. ... do you expect me to send you a magic fairy to upgrade you computer? I cant make your computer run a program guys, if you cant use it you cant use it. Eveything I can do I have done.
This is the Original Patch
PMD ONLY
This is not PMX, and I uploaded this for the soul reason that the DL was taken down and I can't use the latest version without my computer flipping it's lid
I found it unfair to users who can't use PMX because their computer can't handle it, so here you guys go
I have complete respect for the person who made this originally, but I don't believe it's fair that they took down their version just because someone translated PMX Editor
Other Things You Will Need Are Here - fav.me/d67kn5p

Please tell me if there are any issues with the download.
Open Pmd Files
Make sure you download what you need too, if the program isn't opening the PMD Veiw, it means you missed a download that you need.
PMD May not work on computers under Windows 7 Correctly, and you will just have to wait to get a new computer, i'm sorry but there is nothing i can do about your computer's graphics card.

Sorry that it gets repetitive at times. But that's all you need to do; download the needed components, download the program in .zip file form, unzip the .zip file/copy and paste the files and run the program.
I've added all the Set Up downloads in the description if for some reason you cannot click them. However, please remember that I am not the link fairy. If something doesn't work for your system then google another version of it e.g. x64bit/x86bit. I am also not responsible for making sure links are working.
Likewise you can also google PMDeditor or MMD and you will probably find links to the programs. Again I am not the link fairy.ALSO FOR PMXEDITORWhen you go to click it and open it, it will take a while to load, and it will probably result in error dialogues (missing .dll's) when it is opening. Just close the windows and PMXeditor should open as normal.
Note: If one download doesn't get one of the programs to work e.g. PMDeditor, then it won't hurt to install another package e.g. .NET Framework 3.5 (Package includes 2.0) and .NET Framework 3.5 (Service Pack 1).
Your computer will tell you if somethings already installed on it, so don't worry about it overwriting something important because it won't. It'll just cancel the installation if it already has the following programs installed on it.
That's what kept happening with me with Windows7 and PMXeditor. I had everything needed for it to work, I just needed SlimXD.
Please note that latest computers may have all the .NET Framework's already installed on the system. My Windows7 does.
