Adobe PageMaker was desktop publishing software from Adobe. On Microsoft Windows and Mac OS, its .swb files provided ColorSync component data used by the application for color-related functions.
The file is a supporting component of a PageMaker installation, not one of the application's main publication files. Adobe discontinued PageMaker and replaced it with Adobe InDesign, so this format is primarily encountered in older PageMaker installations.
This file is not normally opened as a standalone document. On Microsoft Windows and Mac OS, it should be kept with the Adobe PageMaker installation that uses it and allowed to be read by PageMaker.
A text editor or image application will not display useful content from the file.
An .swb file is a supporting component rather than an editable publication, so it usually has no meaningful standalone conversion.
If the goal is to reuse a PageMaker publication, work from the original publication file in PageMaker or migrate the publication itself to another desktop publishing application. The ColorSync component file should normally be retained with the old installation rather than converted.

Epson is a Japanese electronics company and a major manufacturer of computer printers, scanners, and related equipment. SWB files were used by applications developed by Epson to store application data.
The SWB format appears to be obsolete and is not used by current Epson applications.
Because the SWB format appears to be obsolete, current Epson applications may not open these files. If the file came from an older Epson application, try opening it with that original application on the system where it was created.
SWB files generally cannot be converted with a standard file converter. If an older Epson application can still open the file, use that application's export or save options to create a supported format.

IBM Sametime is collaboration software that was distributed as a standalone product and as part of the IBM Lotus Notes suite. The SWB file extension identifies data saved from its whiteboard feature.
An SWB file contains whiteboard content used in a Sametime collaboration session. It is tied to the Sametime whiteboard environment rather than being a general-purpose document format. On Microsoft Windows, IBM Notes, formerly Lotus Notes, is the software associated with this file type.
Open the file in IBM Notes, formerly Lotus Notes, on Microsoft Windows, or in the IBM Sametime installation that created it. The file may need to be loaded through Sametime's whiteboard feature rather than opened as a standalone document.
Open the file in Sametime and use any export, print, or copy options provided by that installation to preserve the whiteboard content in another format.
