ExpertScan Survey Document Format | AutoData Systems | Text Files |
The .ESD file extension is associated with ExpertScan, an online data collection software from Congnito Software Inc. ExpertScan offers a suite of web-based survey and questionnaire building, design, and data management tools for companies. It is typically used to create standardized surveys, web forms, and documents.
An .ESD contains all the data associated with a survey document or questionnaire created using the ExpertScan software suite. This includes the raw answers to the questions on the survey as well as any reference media such as images, audio, and video that may also be included. The file also contains embedded style definitions such as font size, colors and so on.
Instructions for Opening ESD Files
When a user wishes to open an .ESD file, they must use the ExpertScan software suite. The exact program to be used depends on the features they need for their survey document or questionnaire. However, even without the software, users can view the underlying raw data associated with the file as it is saved in a human readable format.
Similar File Extensions
The .ESD file extension is closely related to extensions like .ESC, SRVY, and .QSF. All of these file types are associated with various forms of survey documents and contain similar types of data depending on the tool used to create them.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ESD) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ESD extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ESD file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ESD extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ESD extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ESD file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ESD file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ESD file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ESD file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ESD file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
