What is a file conversion utility?

Hey,.

I was wondering if anyone knows what a file conversion utility is and how it works?

I searched on the internet but still not found an answer.

Thank you Megan :)

A file conversion Utility is a specialized application that open many types of files and allows the user to convert the file to another type.

A good example on a Macintosh computer, computer is graphics converter that will open any type of converter, jpg200, png, gif, pdf and files jpg graphics it to different versions.

Let's say you have a drawing in gif, jpg, or png format and you want to convert to PDF to be merged into an existing to say PDF.   You would open this file in its original format. On Mac you use Save as and choose PDF, click OK. A copy of the file will be a PDF file.

I explain this in terms of Macintosh, because that's what I use. I am sure that there is equality Converter utility on UNIX, Linux or PC widows and the formulation of the commands will be different. But the principle works the same.

Most applications such as database, spreadsheet, word processing. Graphics program all have limited capacity to convert to different formats. But a converter or a conversion utility has a lot more rich capabilities.

    I just stumbled upon this problem there is, it's an easy solution to calm. If it's a .pdf to locate the file right click and select open with, then choose program select by default, choose the adobe reader software. What it does for each .pdf file it will use adobe reader instead of trying to use the wrong program to open the file. Same thing with .doc and .docx files only instead of adobe reader choose microsoft word

    When I open Adobe opens a window of file conversion and I can't view the file. I uninstalled Adobe and downloaded several different versions with the same result. I am running Windows 7 on my computer.

    Thank you; It is indeed the word.

    Right click on a PDF file and select Properties; What does say for ' file Type:' and ' opens with:'?

    It should be "Adobe Acrobat Document" and "Adobe Reader".  If this is not the case, use the "Edit" button to assign the Adobe Reader .pdf file extension.

  • What is the file or registry in mozilla application that gets launch to create the APPData\Roaming\Mozilla

    I do not know what is the file that fires when you launch Mozilla Firefox for the first time to create the AppData folder is local or roaming because I want to change to a different name because I want to have 2 versions of mozilla on the same computer with the old version I want to customize to my company only web application.
    I have open all files with the extension *. JS, but none of them have the setting to create the folder I also look into each INI file in the application of mozilla firefox, but no info found more.
    I use the ORCA MSI Editor to reveal the registry keys, but I'm not sure because many of them leads to the Mozilla folder but either none for the Appdata roaming or Local.
    Please let me know if you have some tips or the files I need to edit to change this name to perhaps MOZ2015

  • What is the file deleted the files in the main folder, and can / should I remove it?

    What is the file deleted the files in the main folder, and can / should I remove it? Is it too much room, I could use?

    This file stores a list of files from previous version of Firefox that are no longer needed or supported in the current version of Firefox. This file is only a few KB and it is best not to delete files in the Firefox program folder to avoid update problems. If the required files are missing or modified with a update Firefox will download the full version (approximately 10 MB) instead of a small incremental update which is usually only a few hundred KB.
