What is a .PDER file?
The .PDER file is a type of file that works with a special tool called ProntoDoc for Excel, which is added onto Microsoft Excel. This tool helps people in businesses create documents quickly and easily. The .PDER file is like a blueprint or a pattern for these documents. It contains a layout for the document and pulls in information from places where data is stored, like SQL Server, SharePoint, and Oracle databases.
Imagine you have a form that you use over and over again, but each time, the specific details in the form need to change based on the latest information from your database. The .PDER file helps by automating this process. So, instead of manually entering the new data every time, the .PDER file helps fill in the blanks with the latest data automatically.
Once the .PDER file has done its job, it can turn the document it created into different formats that are widely used, such as .XLSX (which is a standard Excel file), .PDF (which is a file that looks the same on any device and can be shared easily), and .XPS (a format similar to PDF, but created by Microsoft).
To open and use a .PDER file, you need to have Microsoft Excel installed on your computer because it's an Excel plug-in. This means it adds extra features to Excel, specifically for creating business documents quickly. Without both Microsoft Excel and the ProntoDoc for Excel plug-in, you won't be able to open or use .PDER files. This setup is particularly useful for businesses that need to generate reports or documents regularly based on the latest data from their databases.
