  2. Check the Header: Inspect the first bytes in a text editor or hex viewer:
    • Readable XML/JSON suggests a text-based configuration format.
    • "PK" indicates a zipped archive.
    • Specific magic bytes may reveal a proprietary image format.
  3. Use the Original Software: The original program is usually required to open the file properly. Try using Blanchard Systems' DALiM LiTHO, compatible prepress tools, or ask the sender if you are uncertain.
