What is a VIEWFILE file

VIEWFILE files mostly belong to SAP Crystal Reports. VIEWFILE files are container files that embed one of several internal formats. The most common format is a Rich Text Format (RTF) file generated by Crystal Reports. This is used to store report data and layout details.
Other internal types found include:

PDF: A document file viewable with Adobe Acrobat. For more details, visit Adobe Acrobat.

JPG: A digital image file with embedded metadata, often handled by image editing tools such as Adobe Photoshop.

ZIP: A compressed archive that can hold metadata alongside documents; more information is available at this site.

FilExt.com notes: To open a VIEWFILE file, use the application that matches its internal format. If it is an RTF file, a Crystal Reports viewer or an RTF-compatible editor will work. For PDF, a dedicated PDF reader is ideal. Similarly, image or archive tools apply if the file is in JPG or ZIP format.
