Open IFM File

An IFM extension file is a data file relating to a form created by Informed Filler.

Informed Filler is a program used to manage electronic forms that can be filled out and submitted.

Informed Filler is software developed by Shana Corporation.

The most popular versions of this product are 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0.

This program works with IFM, IPK, ITP, ITR and IXL file types.

This program was discontinued in the 1990s.

The IFM file, for Informed Filler, stores the data of a form filled out by a user.

IFM files are typically used by government organizations, businesses, and universities.

IFM files are related to ITP files, which, as stated above, are also supported by Informed Filler.

The design of the IFM files contemplates storing the data of an ITP form.

ITP forms and IFM files can be filled out, approved, signed and submitted electronically using Informed Filler.

Some examples of forms and data for an IFM file are bills, applications, and preferences for serving in the military.

An IFM file is designed to store the data for a single ITP form.

As expected, if the IFM file is deleted, the form data will be deleted.

Because the Informed Filler program is no longer supported and developed, the IFM files have been deprecated.

Software for opening and working with an IFM file

Although the software is outdated, it can still be downloaded from the official website of the British Columbia Forest Service in Canada.
