Aldus Corperation created the Placeable Metafile to specify how a metafile is to be mapped and scaled on output devices. These files are not supported by the Windows API due to the placeable metafile having a 22-byte header.
Here is an example of a APM Header.
typedef struct
{
DWORD key;
HANDLE hmf;
RECT bbox;
WORD inch;
DWORD reserved;
WORD checksum;
} APMFILEHEADER;
To playback a placeable metafile in Windows you need to save the file the open it in a Hex Editior and remove the header that starts at Offset 0x16.
Today APM belongs to Adobe Systems due to Aldus Corperation being merged with Adobe Systems in 1994.
