What is X_B file?
The X_B file extension is a 3D CAD modeller part format, commonly used by Parasolid software. This file format is used to store data and changes related to the 3D models that have been designed and constructed using Parasolid CAD modelling tools. The X_B file format is based on and follows the currently accepted industry standards for universal 3D data exchange, such as the STEP-AP 203 Standard, as well as those used by the modelling packages from Siemens PLM Software.

What is PDF file?
PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file format that can represent documents of any text, graphics, images and links in a manner independent of any application software, hardware, and operating system. It was created by Adobe Systems using its own PDL (Page Description Language). PDF utilizes modern encryption and compression algorithms in order to store the content of a document and provide multi-functional features such as textual annotations, text search, audio annotations etc. [ ⏩ ] PDF file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from X_B to PDF?
To successfully convert the X_B file to PDF, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.X_B). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case PDF (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than PDF).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. X_B to PDF. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting X_B files to PDF files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension PDF, while before this step we had the X_B file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new PDF file, or not.
