OPD files, what are they?

[Maljonic]

Does anyone know which programs use ODP files, I never heard of them and someone just sent me a few. I know they aren't dodgy or anything, but don't know what I need to see them, or convert them to something I can use.

He says he scanned documents to make the files, if that makes any difference?

If that makes a difference to what? You already got an answer.

Well I tried googling etc and found there seems to be more than one meaning for OPD. I wondered if there was a common scanner program (used in offices or something) that someone on here knows about that creates files with a .opd extention. Then I could look for that and download it and see what the files are.

Try OpenOffice.org software?

I can't get any of those programs to open these files, interesting programs though so thanks. I think I vaguely remember someone mentioning those a few years ago but forgot all about them.

Think I might have to give up, I've tried about 10 different things so far.

Well, it's either an ODP or an OPD file make your mind up!
OPD files are from Omnipage apparently, which is an OCR program try downloading: http://www.brothersoft.com/downloads/omnipage.html

Yeah sorry, I typed it wrong in the first post, the thread title is right though.

Edit: how does that work anyway, how can it be shareware and cost 400+ dollars?

I guess you buy and then hand it out to your mates for free

Well OmniPage didn't work either, I was quite hopeful too because it changed all the files so they had its own icons... maybe it's the wrong version? I'll definately give up now.
