Extract text from HDX files
To convert your HDX file to another format, you need HedEx Lite or other E-Book software.
To convert other file formats to the "Product Documentation Package" file type, you need software like HedEx Lite or a similar tool.
The .HDX file extension primarily identifies the Huawei Product Documentation Archive, a specialized format used to package technical manuals, network equipment guides, and software documentation for Huawei Technologies. These files are typically viewed using the proprietary Huawei HedEx Lite (Huawei Electronic Documentation Explorer) utility. While efficient for organizing thousands of pages, the .HDX format presents significant accessibility barriers: it requires specific legacy software to open, is not natively supported by web browsers or mobile devices, and often locks content behind a proprietary interface. Users frequently need to convert these archives into standard PDF documents or extract the underlying HTML structure to share technical specifications without requiring the recipient to install specialized viewers.
A secondary but notable use of the extension is for Home Design 3D Project files. Created by Home Design 3D, these files store architectural layouts, furniture arrangements, and 3D rendering data in a JSON or XML-based structure. Designers often face compatibility friction when trying to share these concepts with clients who do not own the software. Converting these project files to universal 3D formats like OBJ or standard 2D image formats (JPG, PNG) allows for easier collaboration, visualization in other CAD tools, or simple viewing on any device. Whether you are an engineer managing network documentation or a designer sharing a floor plan, converting .HDX files removes software dependencies and ensures your data is viewable anywhere.
Convert.Guru analyzes your HDX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

If you want to convert HDX file to PDF, SHP, KML, KMZ, GPX, GEOJSON, TOPOJSON, TIF, TIFF, ECW, SID or IMG, you can use HedEx Lite or similar software from the "Technical Documentation Archive" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert LAZ, KMZ, DTM, CSV, DEM, PRJ, LAS, GPX, DSM, SHP, DBF or KML files to HDX, try HedEx Lite or another comparable tool in the "Technical Documentation Archive" 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 HDX converter.
