Developer: Adobe Systems

You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .xdp. Files with the file extension .xdp can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .xdp files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .xdp file?

The .xdp file extension was developed by Adobe Systems and used as XML files in an XML Data Package format. Files that use this extension contain contents of the whole PDF document such as information about templates and forms. This file extension is very important because it is the major file format allowing the transformation of PDF files into XML files and vice versa without the risk of information loss. With this file format, PDF data can easily be read by any XML program. Applications such as the Adobe LiveCycle, Adobe Reader, and other Adobe programs support these files and can be used to open them. XD Profile also used the .xdp file extension and they are attached to scripts that are used by XD Profile. Other applications that support this file extension and can be used to open these .xdp files are Playstation, UNIX, as well as PDF Creator.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .xdp files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .xdp. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
