file.cdf

is a Computable Document Format file.

Details

  • CDF files, like Wolfram Notebooks, are structured interactive documents that can contain text, graphics, sound, calculations, typeset expressions, and user interface elements.
  • CDF files and Wolfram Notebooks (.nb) are both a deployment method for interactive use in Wolfram Player.
  • CDF files are automatically associated with the Wolfram System on systems that have the Wolfram System installed.
  • CDF files contain only printable 7-bit ASCII characters and are viewable and largely readable in any text editor.
  • CDF files are cross-platform, meaning that a file created on any supported platform can be read by a Wolfram System or Wolfram CDF Player installation on any other platform.
  • The Wolfram System can convert CDF files to many other formats using the File > Save As menu item and selecting the desired format from the drop-down box in the dialog that appears.
