FreeFlow uses VI files for projects that define variable-information documents, such as documents that combine a common design with changing text or data. The file belongs to the FreeFlow project rather than representing a general-purpose document format.
A VI file is intended to be opened and edited in FreeFlow on Microsoft Windows. It may depend on the project's associated resources and data, so moving only the VI file may not preserve the complete project.
Install FreeFlow on Microsoft Windows, then open the VI file from the software's file menu. If the project uses external resources or data, those items may also need to be available.
A VI file is not normally converted with a general-purpose file converter. Open the project in FreeFlow and use the software's own print or export workflow, when available, to produce the required output format.
