TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I've often wondered why there are third-party products that can translate
Adobe's PDF format used in Acrobat, but nobody's ever come up with a parser
for PageMaker. Did Adobe open the PDF specification? If so, why not do so
for PageMaker's files? Or was the former reverse-engineered but not the
latter?

PageMaker is not importable...other files can be imported into it, though.
Extensions are: .p65 or .pm6 or .pm5 (depending on the version used)
