367282 2005-06-27 04:58:00 I have just received a couple of files with the extension "PFS".
Nothing I have got can open them.


Searching for an answer the following is the best I could come up with
PFS PFS:File or PFS:Write Document

These files are scans from a book.

Help PLEASE.

Whoever scanned them and sent them to you, get them to save it in another format like jpeg. Or something u can open it with.

P.S. I should have looked at Google first. (So should you ... :( ;) )

"pfs scanner" to google will find you some links (ignore the first) which will point at PFS Manager, which looks like a good candidate. One of the links is for download ...

There are a couple of things they could be.

367286 2005-06-27 05:20:00 I have already asked for fresh copies saved as doc or rtf.
But the problem is the elderly lady who sent them doesn't have too many clues. She says she scanned them and sent them to e-mail.
Both files are over 4 megs and she sent them on dial-up. Hate to ask how long it took.

367287 2005-06-27 05:43:00 If they are files from PFS Manager, she won't have .doc or .rtf text versions. From what I say, they are "pictures" from a scanner. Have a look at those links Google will give you. Graham L (2)
