Extract text from 1C:Enterprise and CAD files (EPF)
To convert EPF files to another format, you need 1C:Enterprise or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Multi-format Application Data" file type, you need software like 1C:Enterprise or a similar tool.
The .epf file extension is highly fragmented and serves multiple distinct purposes depending on the originating software. Primarily, it acts as an External Processing Form for the Russian accounting and business platform 1C:Enterprise. It is also heavily used in the dental industry as a Dental CAD Project Archive by software like Exocad or Planmeca Romexis. In electronics engineering, it functions as an EAGLE Project Settings file by Autodesk EAGLE, and in enterprise security, it acts as an Entrust Digital Identity Profile.
The main disadvantage of the .EPF format is its extreme ambiguity. Because so many different programs use the exact same extension, operating systems frequently assign the wrong default application, leading to errors. Furthermore, these files are heavily siloed. Exocad DentalCAD files require multi-thousand dollar licenses to view natively, while 1C forms are proprietary binaries or 7z-compressed scripts that cannot be opened in standard editors.
To overcome these limitations, conversion or extraction is highly recommended based on the file's true origin. For Exocad Dental CAD archives, extract the internal files to STL or OBJ for universal 3D printing and editing, or convert to GLTF for web environments. Autodesk EAGLE project data is best exported to GBR (Gerber files) for manufacturing. Drop your file here to analyze and convert it securely right in your browser. Our tool can detect the file's underlying signature and help you access its contents without needing the original expensive software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EPF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted EPS, PDF, JPG, EPUB, ZIP, PNG, XLSX, TMP, REP, WEBP, TXT, DOCX and CRDOWNLOAD files.
If you want to convert EPF file to PDF, NPS, PPF, VPF, DWG, DXF, DGN, RVT, RFA, SKP, 3DM or STEP, you can use 1C:Enterprise or similar software from the "Industry-Specific Application Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SLDASM, DGN, PRT, IAM, X_B, CATPRODUCT, SLDPRT, RVT, ASM, DWG, CATPART or DXF files to EPF, try 1C:Enterprise or another comparable tool in the "Industry-Specific Application Data" category.
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 EPF converter.
