What is a PJX file?

PJX files mostly belong to Trotec JobControl. PJX files are specialized data files with two main use cases.
Laser Cutting Jobs:
  • They are stored in a ZIP container format.
  • Used by Trotec JobControl to manage laser cutting or engraving instructions.
  • They hold precise machine parameters and design data.
  • Project Scheduling:
  • They serve as an internal file format for SQL Server Data Projects.
  • Used by project scheduling systems, like those from Peachtree Accounting.
  • Tip: You can try renaming a PJX file to .zip to view its contents with a compression tool, though it is best handled with the proper software to avoid issues.
