The PDL ( .PDL) file extension is associated with the Print Shop Deluxe project file. It contains the design elements that are used to create printable documents, such as greeting cards, posters and calendars. The PDL file stores resources and settings defined by the user, including text, shapes, logos and vector graphic tools. Additionally, the document may include comments, instruction and supporting material.
The user can save the PDL file at any point of the project for editing or archiving later. To view the content of the PDL file it needs to be opened in Print Shop Deluxe. It can be converted to other popular image formats such as JPG and PNG. Besides PDL, other associated file extensions used by Print Shop Deluxe are .FDX, .FDM, .FSM, .PED, and .PUB.
Advantages of PDL File Extension
The advantages of assigning a PDL file extension are related to its contents stored within the document. Since it contains resources such as clipart, it can be used and reused in different documents. Furthermore, it offers a great degree of flexibility as users can add and delete elements from the document to customize their project.
Compatibility Issues
The PDL file format is only compatible with Print Shop Deluxe software. If users try to open a PDL file in another application, it will not run properly since it cannot be read by other programs. Furthermore, if changes are made while working with other software, these will not be reflected in subsequent versions when opened in Print Shop.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PDL) 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 .PDL 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 .PDL 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 .PDL 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 .PDL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PDL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PDL 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 .PDL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PDL file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PDL file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
