Hi

The above message is caused by the file itself. Pagemaker installation is fine and have tried on several machines with pagemaker. Is there any way to recover these?

Which version of PM?
Mac or Win? Which version?

The error message "Cannot open file. 8009:20481" indicates the file is not a Pagemaker file.

More info in the Adobe Support KB: Links to Commonly Referred to Pages in the PageMaker Knowledgebase

Try opening the file in Word or text reader, and search it for the word "Pagemaker". If the word is not found many times and the fonts used are not listed amongst the code, the file is not a PM file. Note that the file may run to hundreds of pages in Word.

If you are certain that it is a PM file, then your best bet is to try to open it using the same computer and application that created it.

It is definitely a pagemaker file as I created it. I am using windows in this instance but will be transferring to mac. I have tried everything including the original PC and pagemaker installation.
