The ALF6 file extension is associated with default files created or used by Adobe PageMaker, Adobe's desktop publishing software. The file contains PageMaker default data.
Adobe PageMaker was available for Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS X. The software is obsolete and Adobe no longer supports it, so ALF6 files are mainly encountered with legacy PageMaker installations.
Use Adobe PageMaker on Microsoft Windows or Adobe PageMaker for Mac on Apple macOS or Mac OS X. These files are intended for use by PageMaker rather than for direct editing.
Because PageMaker is obsolete and unsupported, it may not run on current operating systems. Do not rename or edit the file if it is part of an existing PageMaker installation.
An ALF6 file contains PageMaker default data and is normally used by PageMaker in its original context rather than converted separately.
Publication files, rather than ALF6 default files, should be opened in PageMaker and exported or converted when possible.
