.bk File Extension

Developer: N/A

File type: FrameMaker Book File

You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .bk. Files with the file extension .bk can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .bk files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .bk file?

Linux and Microsoft Windows-based systems can be integrated with support for creating, opening and editing the content of files appended with the .bk extension. This can be done by installing the Linux or Microsoft Windows installation versions of the Adobe FrameMaker 10 software. Files in the BK format are generally classified as data files, though these BK files are specifically known as FrameMaker book files. The content of these BK files consists of reference data regarding the text and image data among other text and image formatting attributes and page layout elements added by the author of the BK file. These BK files are output project files created using the Adobe FrameMaker 10 application, and these can be opened and edited with this program. These BK files are in a format packaged and finalized for printing. The images that can be embedded into a BK project by a user who wants to create a digital book using the Adobe FrameMaker 10 software should be in BMP or raster image formats.

how to open a .bk file?

Launch a .bk 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 .bk 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 .bk files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .bk file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .bk file will open the correct application.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .bk 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, .bk. 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.
