File type:
Adobe Bridge Data File
You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .abdata. Files with the file extension .abdata can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .abdata files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .abdata file?
Files appended with the ABDATA extension are created and used by older versions of the Adobe Bridge software, particularly version 1.0.2 or earlier. These ABDATA files are classified as data files, and the Adobe Bridge software uses the data stored in files with the .abdata extension as reference data. These ABDATA data files contain keywords and preferences associated to specific output files created using this Adobe Bridge software, which is a program developed by Adobe Systems for efficient file management applications. This means when a user opens and accesses the content of an output file developed using the Adobe Bridge software, this application locates the associated ABDATA file and retrieves the necessary data from the content of the .abdata file. It then performs the processes required by the integrated functions requested by the user. The Adobe Bridge CS6 software can be installed in a Microsoft Windows-based system, so users can integrate support into their systems for these ABDATA files.
how to open a .abdata file?
Launch a .abdata file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .abdata file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .abdata files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .abdata file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .abdata file will open the correct application.

Be careful not to rename the extension on .abdata files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.
what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .abdata. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
