The .pdb filename extension refers to the program database file format authored by Microsoft. The format is used for storing debugging information about executable files and programming libraries or DLL files. The pdb format was designed to ease the debugging process of executables and program modules by decoupling the debugging information from the end of the program or class library itself to allow the integrated debugger and linker to access the pdb files directly. It doing so, the PDB format facilitates the stepping into/out of runtime libraries. The format and its internals remain the proprietary asset of Microsoft.
The LRF format is a proprietary format developed by Sony in collaboration with Canon, as a document and text encoding standard for the Broad Band eBook file format. The format specifically targeted Sony portable eBook readers and was capable of encoding both text, pagination, and images. Being unencrypted, LRF encoded files do not enforce DRM. This is in contrast to the LRX format which is also part of the BBeB eBook file format which does support encryption for DRM files. The Sony eBook store announced in July 2010 a discontinuation of support for the LRF format in favor of the public and open EPUB format.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for PDB to LRF conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload PDB files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized LRF results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent LRF audio with dependable progress tracking.
Within windows, when an application is debugged using the Microsoft suite of debugging tools, the program database file or .pdb file is used to determine the current execution state and to locate symbols within the applications source code. Typically, the pdb file will contain global/local variables, function names and their point of entry, frame pointer omission records, and source line numbers.
The LRF format is an XML derivative. It represents the compiled and compressed binary format of the BBeB file. The structure of an .lrf file included a header, an object stream, and an object index. Though the LRF format is a proprietary asset, many freely available programs are able to convert and or open LRF files for viewing.
