An .pbd file is a text file used by Vignette's Epicentric Portal to define a Java bean that operates as a portal server module.
The file contains the bean definition information that Epicentric Portal needs to use the Java component as part of the portal. It is associated with the module rather than being the Java bean's compiled implementation.
Epicentric Portal is Java-based and can run on multiple platforms through Java. The format is specific to Epicentric Portal and is primarily associated with installations of this server software.
To inspect an .pbd file, open it with a plain-text editor. Do not use a word processor, as it may add formatting that changes the file.
To use the file as intended, use it with the Epicentric Portal installation that contains the corresponding Java bean and server module.
There is no standard conversion for an Epicentric Portal .pbd file. It is a software-specific module definition, not a document format intended for export.
Keep the file as text when moving it between compatible Epicentric Portal installations. Editing or converting it to another text format may prevent the portal from recognizing the module.

Faxit uses the .pbd file to maintain its phone book. The file is intended for use within Faxit rather than as a general-purpose contacts database.
This is a legacy, application-specific format. Available information about its internal structure and current support is limited, so other programs may not be able to read it correctly.
This entry was verified by the File-Extensions.org team. At the time of research, no additional internet resource was found describing this file type. If you know more useful information about this extension, please submit it using the submit extension button at the top of the page.
Open the file from within the Faxit application that created it. If Faxit is not installed, a general text editor or contacts program is unlikely to interpret the file correctly.
No conversion method is documented here. If the installed version of Faxit provides a phone book export feature, use that feature to save the contacts in a supported format.
Without an export option, the practical alternative is to open the file in Faxit and recreate the contacts manually in another contacts or fax application.
