The .PDW file extension is used to store ProntoDoc for Word Conventional Document Template files. It is a proprietary file format used with ProntoDoc, which is an advanced document automation and variable data printing software created by AL Software Solutions. ProntoDoc software lets users create templates for frequently printed documents such as invoices, letters, labels, envelopes and other business forms. The PDW template files store all the necessary instructions and design properties of specific document templates.
Technical Details
The PDW files are saved with a proprietary binary format that contains data about font types, paper sizes, barcode settings, conditional fields, label templates, image/logo placement, watermarks and other elements. When a document is created using ProntoDoc, the program first parses the PDW template file and then applies the necessary data from external data sources to generate the final output document that can be exported in various formats such as PDF, RTF, DOCX or TIFF. PDW files are recognized by both ProntoDoc for Windows and Mac versions of the software.

Other related document template format files developed by AL Software Solutions include .FODT, .XPX, CTLT, and CTLB.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PDW) 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 .PDW 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 .PDW 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 .PDW 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 .PDW extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PDW file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PDW 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 .PDW file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PDW file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PDW file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
