Convert APM to WMF

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert APM to WMF?
Yes - APM converts to WMF.

APM IS a WMF with a placeable header. Renaming .apm to .wmf is typically sufficient because all modern programs that open WMF also detect the APM magic and read it the same way. Stripping the APM header to get a bare WMF is rarely needed.

Also to WMF: EPS · SKF · EMF
