What is an LST file?

LST files mostly belong to Acrobat by Adobe. An LST file is a data list saved as plain text. For example, IDLE code editor uses an LST file to save a list of recently opened files while Visual Studio saves an EXE file's bootstrap information in an LST file. Another type of LST file contains spool information saved by Oracle Database. SyncTERM saves a dialing directory in an LST file. Aircrack-ng Wi-Fi network cracking software saves a compressed password list in an LST file. BPM Studio uses an LST file to store a playlist. SAS statistical data analysis software saves procedure output in LST files.

How to open an LST file

You need a suitable software like Acrobat to open an LST 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 LST file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a LST file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

LST file extension format:

A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Below is our analysis of the LST files:

LST is a very commonly used file extension and includes many different file formats. The following file formats are most commonly found in LST files:

15% of all LST files belong to Adobe FontList. These files are text files, so they contain words and text. The file size is in the range of 230 bytes to 8 KB. The file type was developed 10 years ago and is still in use today. The keywords %BeginFont, Handler:DirectoryHandler, %Locale:0x409, OutlineFileName, FontName, FamilyName, StyleName, FontType:Invalid, %!Adobe-FontList 1.22, MenuName, %!Adobe-FontList 1.20 and Users are typical for these files. A usual file name is AdobeFnt22.lst or AdobeFnt21.lst. Such LST files store data about adobe and acro.
4% of all LST files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters " Â´ Â´Â´Â´ Â´Â´Â´Â´ Â´Â´Â´Â´Â´Â´Â´Â´ Â´Â´Â´Â´Â´Â´Â´Â´Â´Â´Â´Â´Â´Â" at the beginning. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. A typical file size is 15 GB. A usual file name is realuniq.lst.

The remaining 81% of all LST files are different files with different signatures, frequently e.g. SyncTERM dialing directory, XML, config, WordPerfect, UTF-16 (LE), UTF-8, SQL, DETAIL, PLA, Drill, List, Incoming and User. Files like these are sometimes linked to autoinstall, means, password, list, menu or recent. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your LST file!
