A PDF Converter Plugin item used with PDF-XChange Editor or as a Nitro Pro plugin.

A project file for pavement data analysis (used with Pavement Designer or Pavetracker) that employs a ZIP archive structure.

PVP file format details:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our evaluation of the PVP files is as follows:

PVP is not a common file extension and includes various formats for various programs. The file formats most commonly found in PVP files are:

• 35% of all PVP files internally use the Microsoft Compound File format, known also as OLE2 Compound Document format or Composite Document File format. Compound document files are used to structure the contents of a document in the file. It is possible to divide the data into several streams, and to store these streams in different places in the file. In this way compound document files support a complete file system inside the file, the streams are like files in a real file system, and the sections are like subdirectories. Header signature for the CFB format with 8-byte Hex value D0CF11E0A1B11AE1 (which looks like "DOCFILE"). Sections and streams in the file have names like Session. The files are often between 140 KB and 1 MB in size. It is a modern file type. These files are often associated with eurol.
• 20% of all PVP files start with the bytes PV, which are crucial for this file format. They consist of unreadable binary data. The file size is in the range of 110 bytes to 1 KB. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as WindchillEPM and PV-PVP0202. Some examples of file names are wvspvp.pvp.

All the rest of the PVP files (45%) have different formats, such as EXE, ZIP and RPK. Sometimes used for data, minion, voice or english. If you want to find out what your PVP file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
