The BDL file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the BDL files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the BDL file on each system platform.
What is BDL file?
The file with the extension BDL is the CAD Files file type. It was designed by Parametric Technology. In addition to this file, the CAD Files category includes 158 related files. CoCreate Bundle Format is most often found on 2 operating systems. These systems consist of Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Adobe Acrobat to handle this file. This is a program created by Adobe Systems Incorporated. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs. CoCreate will apply when it is not possible to use Adobe Acrobat.
How to open BDL file?
The most common problem when using CoCreate Bundle Format is that a specific BDL is not associated with the program. This causes the file BDL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BDL file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Adobe Acrobat
The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe Acrobat program installed. To do this, enter the name Adobe Acrobat into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file BDL.
Programs to open BDL file
Remember to download programs supporting BDL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Acrobat with BDL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BDL file to open in the Adobe Acrobat application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BDL file with the Adobe Acrobat application.
Step 3. Update Adobe Acrobat to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe Acrobat program, it is possible that CoCreate Bundle Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BDL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BDL file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BDL file. However, remember that not every infected BDL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BDL file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BDL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Parametric Technology, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BDL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move BDL to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BDL file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
