AI65 is a legacy plug-in format associated with Adobe PageMaker for Mac. The file stores a PageMaker plug-in component that the application can load to provide additional functionality.
This file is part of the Adobe PageMaker software environment and is not a PageMaker publication or other user document. It is intended to work with a compatible Mac installation of PageMaker.
Adobe PageMaker is discontinued, so the format is no longer in active use. Current versions of macOS may not run the required PageMaker software or its plug-ins.
Open an .ai65 file with a compatible installation of Adobe PageMaker for Mac. The file is a plug-in, so it is normally placed where PageMaker expects its plug-ins and loaded by the application rather than opened as a document.
If PageMaker is not installed, the file cannot be meaningfully opened on its own. Compatibility may require an older Mac environment because PageMaker is discontinued.
An .ai65 file is a software plug-in, not a document format, so it cannot be meaningfully converted to a publication or common document format.
To use its functionality, retain the file and run it with a compatible version of Adobe PageMaker for Mac.
