The icon says PDF but the description says pds.

I made a video and edited it for two months, was about to submit to the client after I was about to fix

an audio problem, and SOMEHOW, it got converted to PDF when I tried to open it....must have chosen "use this program to open."

Any ideas what to do? I attached a picture of it.

That's .pds - the project name, not the resulted/converted video file.

Re-associate it in Windows with Power Director (instead of Adobe) or open it from inside Power Director.

But the end is not pdf, it's psd, which is what it should be, yet, the icon, as you can see in attachment, is a huge PDF.

PSD is PowerDirector's project file.

YES, and this is good, however, the desktop icon is a huge red PDF icon.

Hi Angela,

Right click on the file in File Explorer (or on Desktop) and then select Properties (the lowest item in the contextual menu that pops up). Then click the Change… button to the right of Opens with:. The rest should be self-explanatory.

Kind regards…

Jirka
