How to Convert PFM to ODD

STEP 1

Click inside the file drop area to upload your PFM file or drag & drop it.

Locate your PFM file on your device—typically used for various purposes. Ensure the file is under 50MB to avoid upload issues. If the upload fails, check your internet connection or try compressing the file first.

STEP 2

Select ODD as the output format and click the 'Convert' button.

Choose ODD based on your needs—different formats suit different purposes, like JPEG for smaller file sizes. The conversion process typically takes a few seconds, depending on file size and server load.

STEP 3

Download the converted ODD file instantly after conversion.

Once the conversion is complete, click the download link to save your ODD file. You can then open it in software like a compatible viewer. If the file doesn’t download, ensure your browser allows pop-ups from RunConvert.

STEP 4

You can also send a link to the converted file via email. (Optional)

Enter an email address to receive a secure link to your converted file, which is useful for sharing with clients or accessing later. Links expire after 24 hours for security, and RunConvert ensures your data is protected during transmission.

What is PFM (Printer Font Metrics)?

PFM (Printer Font Metrics) is a companion file format used with Adobe Type 1 fonts in Windows environments. It contains font metrics information rather than the actual glyph outlines.

PFM files work alongside PFB files, providing the operating system with information about character widths, kerning pairs, and other measurements needed for text layout.

While the actual font shapes are stored in PFB files, PFM files are essential for proper font spacing, alignment, and rendering in Windows applications.

How to open PFM files?

PFM files are typically not opened directly by users but are read by the operating system and applications when using the associated Type 1 font.

For examination or editing, specialized font tools like FontLab Studio, DTL OTMaster, or FontForge can open and modify PFM files.

Font management utilities may also display information contained in PFM files when examining font properties.

PFM is Developed by: Adobe Systems

PFM was Released on: 1985

What is ODD (OpenDocument Drawing)?

ODD (OpenDocument Drawing) is a file format used for vector drawings and diagrams in the OpenDocument format standard. It's most commonly associated with LibreOffice Draw and Apache OpenOffice Draw applications.

ODD files store vector graphics, text elements, and object information in an XML-based format, making them portable across different platforms and applications that support the OpenDocument standard.

These files can contain multiple pages of drawings, diagrams, flowcharts, and other vector-based illustrations, with support for layers, text, and embedded objects.

How to open ODD?

ODD files can be opened directly with LibreOffice Draw and Apache OpenOffice Draw, which offer full editing capabilities.

Some other vector graphics programs may offer limited support for ODD files through import filters or plugins.

If you don't have these applications installed, you can use LibreOffice Online or other web-based OpenDocument viewers for quick access to the content.

ODD is Developed by: OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards)

ODD was Released on: 2005
