Open FMF File

A file with the .FMF extension generally denotes a 'Fax Man Document' file or 'Form Maker Form' file. These are two different types of files and are used by different software. Let's dive into each of these types to understand better.

Fax Man Document File

Fax Man is a software that is used to send and receive faxes directly from a computer. The .FMF file type is a proprietary format used by the Fax Man software to save faxes. The FMF files are typically not meant to be manually opened by the user; instead, they are handled by the software itself.

To open a .FMF file as a Fax Man Document, you would typically need the Fax Man software installed on your system. However, as this software has been discontinued, opening these files could be challenging.

Form Maker Form File

The .FMF file extension is also associated with Form Maker, a software that allows users to create forms for websites. In this context, an FMF file contains form data, including the layout and fields, which can be loaded into the Form Maker software.

To open an .FMF file in Form Maker, you can simply open the software and use the 'Open' command to navigate to your .FMF file.

Converting FMF Files

Converting an .FMF file will largely depend on what type of .FMF file you have. For example, Form Maker Form files might be able to be exported to HTML or another web-friendly format using the Form Maker software. As for Fax Man Document files, since the original software has been discontinued, conversion might not be possible.

FMF File Important Information

The .FMF file extension serves different purposes depending on the context and the software it's associated with. If you come across an .FMF file, it's important to know which application it's intended for before trying to open it. Given the proprietary nature of these file types, opening them without the correct software can be challenging. Always ensure files come from a trusted source to avoid potential security risks.
