Hola Rachel,
I wanted to make sure I had understood your recent post. You are able to directly add a .pmf into ArcMap or drag and drop it into ArcMap, and then save it as a .mxd. I was asking because I just tested this work flow in 10.0.5 & 10.1, and I am not able to add directly a .pmf file (unsupported data format). If I attempt to drag and drop the .pmf file directly into ArcMap, I receive an error, so if you would please let us know your work flow. Gracias, Rachel!
