The most common use is as a PageMaker template stored in the Microsoft Compound file format. This file serves as a layout guide for designing documents and pages.
Other uses include:

• ProcessMaker Workflow File: This version contains process definitions and tasks for workflow management. For more details visit ProcessMaker.
• Payment / Pro Tools Session File: In some cases, the file holds payment data or session information for audio projects. Open these files using the proper accounting or audio production software.

PMT file format:

The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program.
