Extracting data/photos from FileMaker Pro/.fmp12 files

[lizanne...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

We recently came across some .fmp12 files in a collection and are without a FileMaker Pro license. Has anyone had success extracting information (photographs and metadata in this instance, I believe) from .fmp12 files using other means, or is a trial version of FileMaker Pro our best bet? 

Thank you!

Trail is the quickest, they are good for at least 45 days. You can then create a script to output the media and metadata. Have done this for several clients.

I have successfully used fmptools to convert FM databases to JSON or SQLite multiple times.
