PDB to SHP Conversion: FAQ
What are PDB files?
The PDB extension is attached to Palm Desktop Database files, which can be found on several types of PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) devices. Data stored by PDB files can vary a lot; from maps and other image files to documents, spreadsheets and e-books. The PDB format can also be associated with Media Monkey, a program specialized in cataloguing and organizing the content of the music you store in digital format. Additional uses of the PDB format include two programs which offer image processing features: TealPaint and Photo Deluxe.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
