How to open PMDX file?

The most common problem when using PlanMaker Spreadsheet Format is that a specific PMDX is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open PMDX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PMDX file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install PlanMaker

Programs to open PMDX file

Remember to download programs supporting PMDX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of PlanMaker with PMDX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PMDX file still does not use the PlanMaker program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the PlanMaker application as the default for handling the PMDX file.

Step 3. Update PlanMaker to the latest version

If, despite the association of the PlanMaker program with the PlanMaker Spreadsheet Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SoftMaker Software GmbH page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PMDX file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PMDX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PMDX file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PMDX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PMDX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PMDX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PMDX except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move PMDX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PMDX file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
