Extract text from Invoice files (DD2)
To convert DD2 Invoices to another format, you need Retailer or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Supply Chain EDI" file type, you need software like Retailer or a similar tool.
A .dd2 file is primarily an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) document formatted according to the Data Distribution Version 2 standard. These files are widely used in retail and supply chain management - specifically within the Australian newsagency and pharmacy sectors using systems like Xchangeit - to automate invoice processing and inventory updates. Unlike standard documents, .dd2 files are structured data containers holding stock codes, pricing, and barcodes, designed to be ingested directly by Point of Sale (POS) software rather than opened by humans. A common downside for business owners is receiving a .dd2 invoice via email and being unable to view its contents without specialized ERP software like Tower Systems or POS Solutions. Converting these files to CSV or Excel allows for immediate analysis of unit costs and stock levels, while PDF conversion provides a printable, human-readable invoice layout.
In scientific circles, a .dd2 file serves a completely different purpose as a Vibrational Analysis output file generated by VEDA4 software. These files contain delocalized internal coordinates used to analyze data from computational chemistry packages like Gaussian. Researchers often struggle to parse these files without the original VEDA environment. For this use case, converting to plain TXT or LOG formats allows for easier data extraction and inclusion in research papers.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DD2 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted CSV, BEF, RML and KDT files.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our DD2 converter.
