Record marked as obsolete and not updated for a long time.
The pdt file extension is associated with ProCite, reference management software developed and sold by Thomson Reuters. ProCite was available for Microsoft Windows, MS-DOS and Mac systems.
A pdt file stores a ProCite bibliographic database, including the reference records managed by the application. It is part of the ProCite database system rather than a standalone document format.
ProCite and the PDT format are obsolete and are no longer actively developed.
Open a pdt file with ProCite on Microsoft Windows. The file should be opened from within ProCite as a database rather than as a regular document.
Because ProCite is obsolete, newer systems may require a compatible legacy Windows environment or an existing installation of the software.
Open the database in ProCite and use its export functions to save the bibliographic records in an exchange or text format supported by the target reference manager.
If ProCite cannot open the database, conversion may not be possible without access to a compatible ProCite installation.

The pdt file extension is associated with Ancient Warfare, a series of tactical wargames developed by HPS for Microsoft Windows.
A pdt file stores data used by the game. It is a supporting game file rather than a document intended for editing in a general-purpose application.
The format is obsolete and is no longer commonly used by current software.
Open a pdt file through the Microsoft Windows version of Ancient Warfare that uses it. The game reads the file as part of its installed data, so it may not provide useful content when opened separately.
The file contains internal Ancient Warfare game data and is not normally converted to another format.
Keep the original file with the corresponding game installation. Converting or editing it may prevent the game from using the data.

The pdt file extension is associated with hydrology and pond settings in applications developed by Autodesk, including Autodesk Civil 3D and AutoCAD.
The pdt file stores configuration data for hydrology and pond-related functions. It uses a binary format and forms part of the software's settings rather than serving as a general-purpose document.
The format is linked to Autodesk Civil 3D on supported platforms, AutoCAD for Microsoft Windows, and AutoCAD for Apple macOS and Mac OS X.
Open the pdt file with the Autodesk application that created or uses it, such as Autodesk Civil 3D or AutoCAD. These files are generally loaded through the software's hydrology or pond settings features rather than opened as standalone documents.
Use Autodesk Civil 3D on its supported platforms, or AutoCAD for Microsoft Windows or Apple macOS, as appropriate for the file.
A hydrology and pond settings file is not normally converted to another file format. It is intended to be read by the Autodesk software that uses it.
To transfer the settings, use the application's own settings or configuration features when available, or recreate them in the target Autodesk installation.
