Encrypted Executable: Other variants are built as EXE files. These are used by tools like OMFL Optimizer and are known as the Overlay Maker file format.

PDF Overlay: A number of OMFL files contain PDF documents with errors or overlay data. They are handled by applications such as PDF-XChange Viewer. More details can be seen at PDF-XChange Editor.
