The pam file extension is most likely best know for its use for a common bitmap format on UNIX platform.
The PAM format is designed to be used for any of myriad kinds of graphics, but can theoretically be used for any kind of data that is arranged as a two dimensional rectangular array.
Actually, from another perspective, it can be seen as a format for data arranged as a three dimensional array.
You can open these files in Adobe Photoshop or any other graphics editor and view that work with *.pam files.
Possibly can be exported or converted to other graphics formats in programs that have support for PAM graphics.

The PAM file extension is used by PAM (Property Appraisal Manager), an application designed to help property developers of all sizes manage development projects from concept to completion.
A .pam file contains a project created and saved in Property Appraisal Manager. It is the application's native project format and is intended to be used with the PAM software on Microsoft Windows.
Open a .pam file with PAM (Property Appraisal Manager) on Microsoft Windows. If the file is not associated with PAM, open it from the application's file-open command.
A .pam file is a native Property Appraisal Manager project file and is not normally converted with a general-purpose file converter. Open it in PAM and use any export or reporting features provided by the application when another format is required.
