Need help opening *.pfc files

[Gibbo_the_Clown]

Hey everyone:

I have a problem: I once scanned some notebooks using an an Astra 1200S scanner on a machine running Win98SE. They were saved as *.pfc files, and I unfortunately don't remember what software I used to scan the things. Anyway, I can't seem to locate any software that is capable of opening them. They are not actually individual images, but sort of like "cab" files containing many images stored together. Any info as to how to accomplish this will be GREATLY appreciated.

Thx for listening ;-)

I know you said they are scanned images in a cab type format with the file extension .pfc, could these files be related to AOL "Personal File Cabinet" files? If so, here are a couple links: <A HREF="http/www.pwcrack.com/pfc/pfc.html" target="_new">.pfc</A> and <A HREF="http/www.linkdragon.com/aol.htm" target="_new">Importing AOL Favorites</A>

I'm sure if this will help, but I use this program to convert graphic file type. You can download a free evaluation copy of "Graphic Workshop" from <A HREF="http/www.mindworkshop.com/alchemy/alchemy.html" target="_new">Alchemy Mind Workshop</A>, go to the one that says Digital Camera Users. Hope you find this useful.

Yep, I just checked, this will do what you need. check the file formats capable of converting <A HREF="http/www.mindworkshop.com/alchemy/gwspro.html" target="_new">here</A>. Good luck!

Eureka!!! The missing app is actually called Presto! Pagemanager. Not even Adobe can open these things...

Hi Gibbo - I have the same problem - I just downloaded a trial version of Pagemanager 8 in the hope that it could read the .pfc files ... no such luck ... Were you able to read your files (and ideally convert them to .pdf?)? Would love to know how - thanx

Your having problems opening these files because you dont have archive manager,
If you're using Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT or Windows 2000 then you'll need an archive manager application to open Cab files.
Try using Bitzipper < theres a free version of this you can download.
bitzipper can open Zip files, Cab files, Rar files and 17 other popular compressed and encoded file formats.

Hope this helps.
