.ADF File Extension

ADF files can be created on a Windows PC using ADF Opus ane opened using several other programs, such as WinUAE, WinFellow, and Cloanto Amiga Forever.

You can install the unADF tool on a Linux Debian operating system (OS) by typing the following command in terminal:

#sudo apt-get install unadf

An ArcInfo binary grid can contain multiple raster layers, forming a layer stack. This can be used to overlay different views on surfaces and perform statistical analysis on the spatial data.

ADF files can store metadata about the raster set or actual raster data. When you create a binary grid, the files named dblbnd.adf, hdr.adf, sta.adf, vat.adf, and w001001x.adf provide metadata about the raster grid, while the file w001001.adf contains the actual raster data. These files are typically separated out into their own folder so that they are easy to manage as an entire grid coverage set.

You most likely will only encounter GTAVC ADF files if you are looking in the game installation directory to modify the music played by the radio station in the game or convert the songs to a different, more widely supported audio format. There is one ADF file for each radio station.

ADF files are not meant to be manually opened. Instead, they are referenced by the GTAVC game. However, gamers looking to convert ADF files can use the Vice City Audio Converter utility developed by Raptor to convert them to .MP3 audio files.

The Archimedes family of computers were discontinued in the mid-1990s. But if you owned an Archimedes computer or are just a curious retro techie, you may want to mount an ADF file with an Archimedes emulator to use the software.

There are several Archimedes emulators available that can mount an ADF file. Some examples are Arculator, ArcEm, and Archie.

You will most likely only encounter Actual Drawing ADF files if you used Actual Drawing to create a website in the early 2000s. Since Actual Drawing is no longer developed and its features are outdated, ADF files are uncommon.

If you find an ADF file and need to open it, you can open it with Actual Drawing by selecting File → Open.... You can then export the design to an HTML file by selecting File → Export to HTML file....
