What is an RPC file

RPC files mostly belong to Crafter by Synthrone. An RPC file is a document created by Crafter responsive HTML content creation software. This file contains images, markup files, scripts, stylesheets, and other resources which makeup web page content such as a product card. RPC format has been replaced by ELP format in recent versions of Crafter. Another type of RPC file is a report generated by Act! customer relationship management software. RPC is also the filename extension of a report created by the Crystal Reports package in Visual Studio version 6.

How can I open an RPC file?

You need a suitable software like Crafter to open an RPC file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your RPC file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a RPC file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

RPC file format details:

To find out what program is needed to open RPC files, you need to determine the file format. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Below is our analysis of the RPC files:
