The SDG file extension is associated with a graphics format that was used as the default format for the images in StarOffice Gallery versions 1 to 4, which were distributed with OpenOffice.org Suite and StarOffice Suite software packages. Developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc., this file format was used for storing vector images as well as images consisting of lines, curves, polygons, logos and pictures.
The SDG is considered to be an obsolete image format now, as it can be opened only with the old version of StarOffice software. It is important to note that modern versions of OpenOffice.org Suite such as LibreOffice provide compatible files with different format such as
Features and Advantages of using SDG Format:
The StarOffice Gallery uses SDG files to store vector-based images, which can be scaled to any size without losing its quality or resolution. This offers flexibility in printing documents to various sizes or formats, making it a good option for creating logos which need to be resized as per requirement. Moreover, this format also allows for compressions the same kind as ZIP compression.
In addition to that, the StarOffice Gallery allows preserving different layers of drawings under its own strong drawing layer boundaries, making it easier for users to work with numerous elements at once. Furthermore, documents saved in this format come along with an internal directory structure that organizes its parts into individual objects and also separates these objects into multiple layers.
Compatibility:
SDG have limited support for compatibility with external applications and services as this file type is obsolete now. However some third-party tools may help in transforming these files to other similar extensions like
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SDG) 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 .SDG 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 .SDG 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 .SDG 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 .SDG extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SDG file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SDG 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 .SDG file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SDG file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SDG file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
