file extension APM - Microsoft Windows Metafile image format (Aldus Placeable metafile)
.APMFile extension APM description:
Many Windows-based applications import or export Windows metafiles in a format known as the Aldus Placeable Metafile (APM) format. In this format, these metafiles cannot be used with the Windows metafile functions such as GetMetaFile(), CopyMetaFile(), PlayMetaFile(), and so on. To use these metafiles, the APM header must be removed from the metafile and the remaining metafile bits must be written to a newly created metafile.
Microsoft Windows Metafile Format (WMF) files are used to store both vector and bitmap-format graphical data in memory or in disk files. The vector data stored in WMF files is described as Microsoft Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) commands. In the Window environment these commands are interpreted and played back on an output device using the Windows API PlayMetaFile() function. Bitmap data stored in a WMF file may be stored in the form of a Microsoft Device Dependent Bitmap (DDB), or Device Independent Bitmap (DIB).

Microsoft Windows is a family of operating systems by Microsoft. They can run on several types of platforms such as servers, embedded devices and, most typically, on personal computers. Microsoft first introduced an operating environment named Windows in November 1985 as an add-on to MS-DOS in response to the growing trend of graphical user interfaces (GUI) popularized by the Macintosh. Microsoft Windows eventually came to dominate the world's personal computer market.
