Great article. I was able to open my really old .psf files using the 15-day trial on ArcSoft. Thanks a bunch for saving me a lot of time and agony.

Hi I’ve managed to get mdi files created within Vista, which I can now view (via memory stick
) on XP operating systems. The problem is when I try to open it in Vista ‘MS Office Picture Manager’ ‘opens’ the file and all I see in an ‘icon’ of the file? I can’t actually see the content! I.e. the printed document within it! How can I ‘open’ the file as an MDI file i.e. straight into the content as it does with XP.

Thanks for your article. I was struggling to save MS Project format file in some readable format so that other users can view it. I got error while trying to save file in pdf format. Based on your suggestion, I did print to file and it worked! I wasted one hour trying to figure this out! Appreciate your help!

how to open a file which shows type of file: ‘file’ in properties?

[...] For me, showing the file extensions for known files types is mostly distracting. It does come in handy when Windows does not recognize the file type and only shows “File” as the file type. In that case, it’s useful to show the file extension so that you can Google it. It helps to open files with PRN, MPP, PSF, MDI, PUB, etc file extensions. [...]

Thanks so much even though I thought I had already installed it, it was not bringing up any mdi files, so I followed your instructions above and now I can view all of my saved mdi files. Thanks a bunch! I appreciate a website where you can come to and get direct help, instead of having to read through tons of message board help pages!
