Convert PMR to another file type
To convert PMR projects to another format, you need MiTek PAMIR or other Data software.
Convert a file to PMR
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Project Index" file type, you need software like MiTek PAMIR or a similar tool.
About PMR files
The .PMR file extension primarily belongs to two distinct proprietary formats: a MiTek PAMIR truss design project file and an Avid Persistent Media Record (or project media index) file. MiTek PAMIR uses the .PMR extension to save complex 3D roof and floor truss designs. Internally, this file is a compressed ZIP archive containing proprietary XML data and project assets. Separately, Avid Technology utilizes .PMR files in their video editing suites (like Media Composer) as a media index file (msmFMID) to track audio and video assets. Both formats are heavily restricted and tightly locked to their respective ecosystems. A MiTek PAMIR file cannot be opened natively by web browsers or standard CAD software, and its proprietary nature requires expensive official tools to access natively. Avid .PMR files are system-generated database indexes; they do not contain actual media but rather metadata linking to MXF or OMFI files, meaning they are completely useless for video playback outside the Avid environment. Because these are highly specialized files, standard online converters fail to process them. You might want to convert MiTek PMR files to ZIP to extract the internal XML data, or convert Avid PMR files to CSV or TXT to read the metadata. However, true visual conversion to generic formats like PDF or JPG is usually impossible without the original software. This file format is difficult to open or convert because it relies on closed proprietary structures. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. Just drag and drop your file to see what it is and convert it if supported. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, such as the ZIP container inside MiTek PAMIR files, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PMR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PRN, PDF, PM1, PM! and PMU files.

The PMR Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our PMR converter.
