Qu'est-ce qu'un fichier DCX ?
A DCX file is a multi-page raster image that contains a series of .PCX images, with each image typically representing a separate page. ZSoft developed the DCX format as an extension of its PCX image format to support multiple images in a single file, commonly used to store multi-page fax documents and other scanned images.
Plus d'informations
DCX files were primarily used by fax, scanning, and image-processing software, particularly during the 1990s and early 2000s. Applications could store each page of a fax or scanned document as a PCX image and combine the pages into one DCX file.
The DCX file format begins with a header that identifies the locations of the individual PCX images stored within the file. Each embedded PCX image contains a separate page, allowing compatible software to move between pages without storing them as individual files.
REMARQUE: DCX is now considered a legacy format, with modern applications more commonly using .TIF and .PDF formats to store multi-page documents.
