David, 

I have to do this all the time. Make sure the Mac file ends with the suffix .p65. This is similar to ending Mac files in .doc or .xls with Off ice 98 files you want to open on a PC. The PM file should open right up. 

Be prepared for some font exceptions though as the fonts on your PC may not match the ones on your Mac. A dialog box will allow you to choose a font that is near the one you used on your Mac. Otherwise it uses Courier which looks and displays horribly! (I wish Adobe would change the default to Times). I guess Courier forces you to make a change for the better. 

Good luck! 

Daniel
