Personal Information Exchange (.pfx) file is a certificate format that contains both public cert and private cert, it is normally used in Windows platform. For example, IIS only supports to import certificate in pfx format.
If you have you private key in PEM format, and public certificate in cert format (DER encoded). Then you use the following command to generate the pfx file. In the example iis.jackiechen.org is the hostname, to keep it simple I also use it to name the key and certificates.
# Convert DER cert to BASE64 encoded cert
openssl x509 -inform DER -in iis.jackiechen.org_DER.cer -out iis.jackiechen.org.crt
# Generate pfx file, append '-certfile CAcert.crt' to the end if you need to add the CA certificate.
openssl pkcs12 -export -out iis.jackiechen.org.pfx -inkey iis.jackiechen.org.key -in iis.jackiechen.org.crt
