Extract text from FLW files
To convert your FLW file to another format, you need LinkWare PC or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Cable Test Report" file type, you need software like LinkWare PC or a similar tool.
The .FLW extension represents a proprietary data format primarily generated by Fluke Networks LinkWare PC, the industry standard for managing cable certification test results. These files function as SQL or JetDB-based containers that hold comprehensive test data for copper and fiber optic cabling.
Because .FLW files are designed for internal project management within the LinkWare ecosystem, they present significant accessibility challenges. Clients and stakeholders typically cannot open these files without installing specialized software, and the raw database structure is incompatible with standard office tools. To make this data usable, users must convert .FLW projects into PDF for finalized certification reports or CSV/XML for data analysis in Microsoft Excel.
Less frequently, an .FLW file may be a legacy vector diagram created by Kivio (part of Calligra Suite) or ComponentAce FlowChartX. These older formats are often unsupported by modern browsers and should be converted to standard image formats like PNG, JPG, or PDF for archiving and sharing.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FLW file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PDF, CRV, PNG, EXE, PKPASS, PKG, JPG, ZIP, CIQ and SQLITE files.
If you want to convert FLW file to INDD, QXP, PUB, PMD, PM6, PM7, PM8, PM9, PM10, PM11, OMP or P65, you can use LinkWare PC or similar software from the "Cable Certification Project" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MDI, PUB, PDP, PM4, P65, COMIC, WEBTEMPLATE, PMD, SPUB, INDD, PM5 or QXP files to FLW, try LinkWare PC or another comparable tool in the "Cable Certification Project" 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 FLW converter.
