The .pdr file extension identifies a printer resource file for Symbian OS, the mobile operating system used on compatible mobile devices. The file belongs to the operating system's printer support components.
A pdr file provides resources used by the relevant printer support or driver software. Its exact contents depend on the printer package that supplied it, and the file is normally used together with other Symbian OS components rather than opened independently.
A pdr file is not normally opened as a document. On a compatible Symbian OS device, the operating system or associated printer support software loads it as a resource.
Desktop applications generally cannot use this file directly. Keep it with the Symbian OS printer package that supplied it, rather than opening it with a text editor.
There is no general-purpose conversion for a Symbian OS printer resource file. Its data is intended for use by the matching Symbian OS printer support software, not for export to a standard document or image format.
