All code for handling the file formats supported
in PMView has been written completely from scratch. Therefore,
we are proud to be able of providing full technical support on
all of the formats below and enhance support
for a specific format when needed (for instance, the TIFF format).
If PMView fails to load a file that you need, please contact us
so we can try to support your file's format in our next release.
