  2. Check the Header: Inspect the first bytes in a text editor or hex viewer:
    • Readable XML/JSON suggests a structured project file.
    • "PK" indicates a zipped archive.
    • Scrambled text implies a proprietary binary format.
  3. Use the Original Software: The original program is usually required; try PDF Index Generator by PDF Colony, or ask the sender if uncertain.
  4. Use this Webpage: Drag and drop your .PDFIG file onto this page to detect its format, extract readable text or metadata, and preview contents when possible.
