Convert product data files (PDX) online for free
The converter easily converts your PDX data files to various formats - free and online. No PDXpert PLM or or other Data software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Manufacturing BOM Archive" file type, you need software like PDXpert PLM or a similar tool.
The .PDX file is primarily a Product Data eXchange package following the IPC-2570 standard. It functions as a structured container used by hardware manufacturers to share Bills of Materials (BOM), Approved Vendor Lists (AVL), and engineering drawings across supply chains. A secondary, but highly common, use of the .PDX extension is the Adobe Acrobat Catalog Search Index, which speeds up text searches across multiple PDF files in a specific directory.
Because a manufacturing .PDX package is technically a renamed ZIP archive containing XML data and attached documents, it is usually managed by Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software like PDXpert. Users often struggle with .PDX files because PLM tools are expensive and complex. Opening a raw .PDX file manually by renaming it to ZIP exposes a messy folder of raw XML code and untethered assets, making it difficult for non-engineers to read the BOM cleanly. Furthermore, Adobe's version of the .PDX file is entirely useless without its accompanying folder of PDF files, causing massive confusion when sent via email as a standalone attachment.
For universal data access, the best solution is to extract the .PDX package to access the internal XML, CSV, or embedded CAD files. If you need to share manufacturing data with purchasing teams, convert the extracted XML data directly to XLSX or CSV. For the Adobe index variant, conversion is impossible as it is just machine-readable search data - you must track down the original PDF documents instead. Drag and drop your file to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.

Users also converted PPTX, MPDX, ODX, PDF, PXD, EPUB, OPDX, JPG, DOCX, PRDX, PFX, PNG and JPEG files.
If you want to convert PDX file to CDD, CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF or DAT, you can use PDXpert PLM or similar software from the "Manufacturing Data Exchange Archive" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to PDX, try PDXpert PLM or another comparable tool in the "Manufacturing Data Exchange 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 PDX converter.
