The PFL file type is a project file created by PDFill, a Windows application from PlotSoft. It is designed to store different types of documents, such as images, data, text, and PDFs, in one convenient location. It allows users to open, edit, and save all of these documents in one easy-to-use program. The PFL extension is used specifically for project files, which may be used for various tasks such as creating PDF forms with fillable fields, merging and splitting PDFs, or adding headers and footers.
File Structure
The structure of the PFL file format follows the Open XML formats. It contains separate files for each document features, including the data, text, image elements stored within it. Documents are stored within the file as streams divided into 512-byte sectors. Each sector can hold up to 1024 bytes of information including the type of document (data, text, or image) and it's size. Additionally, the file contains unique file identifiers to indicate the start and end of documents.
Compatibility
The PFL file extension is not intended to be opened directly by other applications. However, it is possible to use PDFill and other PDF editors to convert a PFL project into a PDF format with compatibility for most popular web browsers. Other similar file extensions include .PFF, PFW, and .PFV.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PFL) 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 .PFL 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 .PFL 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 .PFL 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 .PFL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PFL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PFL 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 .PFL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PFL file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PFL file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
