RTFD File Extension Description

The file extension .rtfd represents the Rich Text File, that contains attachments which are usually in the form of photographs, and commonly seen under the Mac OS X Operating System platform. The file extension .rtfd implement a directory format that incorporates an RTF file type, which is combined with images and usually requires the TextEdit software application for proper access.

The .rtfd file extension is based on the Rich Text Format Directory (which can also be taken as the meaning of the file extension), which is a native application for NeXTSTEP as well as the Mac OS X environments, and has been known to have been ported to some of the UNIX Operating System versions.

The .rtfd file extension is commonly considered as a containment folder or usually referred to as a bundle, because it stores the TXT.RTF which is in a Rich Text file format, along side with its associated formatting commands, including the instructions for the incorporation of its other attachments that are bundled within the file in their native forms. As opposed to a plaint RTF format, the file extension .rtfd is specific to the Mac OS X Operating System environment, which makes it inaccessible to software applications from other platforms.

Considered perhaps as the biggest advantage for the deployment of the file extension .rtfd, is its inherent support for high quality scalable image files, including the PDF types. The .rtfd file extension?s capability results in the ability to print via large paper sizes various images, without data loss, which holds true for other metafile types of scalable images that do not share the same versatility exhibited by the format PDF.

The RTF (Rich Text Format), referenced by the file extension .rtfd, is essentially a free format introduced by Microsoft Corporation that was intended for cross platform data interchange implementation. Compared to the .rtfd file extension, the RTF format can be easily written and read by many word processing software applications even if it is native to the Microsoft Windows Operating System platform.
