The vlb file extension identifies a Corel Ventura Library file. The file contains library data and reusable resources associated with publications created in Corel Ventura.
Corel Ventura was developed by Corel as a Windows desktop publishing application. VLB is a native support format for the program rather than a general document interchange format, and it is now mainly encountered in legacy Corel Ventura workflows.
Open a vlb file with Corel Ventura on Microsoft Windows. The file is intended to be used from within the application as a library resource, rather than opened as a standalone document.
Because Corel Ventura is legacy software, a compatible Windows installation may be required to access the library.
A vlb file usually cannot be converted directly to a modern, general-purpose format. Open it in Corel Ventura and export or copy any usable library resources into a publication or another supported format.
