The PDX (Adobe Acrobat Index File) file extension is used by Adobe's Acrobat software to store index files. The files enable quick searches of a large number of PDF documents and are created by the Adobe Acrobat Indexing service when cataloguing documents. They are binary files that are indexed and saved as a single data file. They will generally have an.pdx file name extension and are opened using Adobe Acrobat, or other programs that can read the data.
Technical Details
The PDX file is structured to save indexes from multiple PDF documents into one data file. This helps in avoiding redundant data and making it easier to search large numbers of PDF documents. When indexing a PDF document, the PDX file formats the document into an optimized form, which is usually a faster way to find the relevant information within a PDF document. The PDX files also take up smaller storage space than their PDF counterparts.
Similar File Extensions
Other similar file extensions include: fpdx, opdx, and ppdx.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PDX) 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 .PDX 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 .PDX 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 .PDX 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 .PDX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PDX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PDX 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 .PDX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PDX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PDX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
