Extract text from diagnostic data files (IDDX)
To convert IDDX diagnostic files to another format, you need Jaltest Diagnostics or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Vehicle Diagnostic Data File" file type, you need software like Jaltest Diagnostics or a similar tool.
The .iddx file format is predominantly used as a vehicle diagnostic data file by Jaltest, a leading multibrand diagnostic tool for commercial, agricultural, and off-highway vehicles. These files act as proprietary containers for critical telematics, engine fault codes, and maintenance logs. A secondary, less common use for the .iddx extension is as a Static Default File within Adobe InDesign.
The major disadvantage of the .iddx format is its strictly closed ecosystem. When a technician saves a diagnostic session as an .iddx file, it can only be opened by someone possessing an active, high-cost Jaltest software license. This makes sharing fault logs with fleet managers, non-equipped mechanics, or clients incredibly frustrating. Your operating system and web browser will simply not recognize the file, and clicking it will result in an error.
If you need to share this data with a client, the best target formats are PDF or CSV. However, because .iddx is heavily encrypted to protect proprietary vehicle telemetry, standard online converters fail to process it. The most reliable way to convert the data is to export it directly from within the original Jaltest dashboard.
Why is this format so challenging? Manufacturers use undocumented, closed-source encoding to maintain control over commercial vehicle data. If our analyzer detects a supported underlying structure, viewing or partial conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your IDDX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 IDDX converter.
