ACD Systems Ltd. developed the DDF file extension as a representation for its Photo Disc Data File or what it refers to as the Use Database for the ACDSee application. This file is primarily utilized as a database for tracking the user's activities when using the software. The usage of this particular file is commonly in conjunction with the DTF format type. These files can be deleted by the user if the system begins to show signs of slowing down. The application will automatically generate a new version of the file to continue tracking the user's actions. This particular file type supports the various functionalities of the shareware application designed to operate as an image viewer and organizer for the Microsoft Windows Operating System environment. The newest version of this program includes Unicode support along with the usual features of thumbnail viewing and file type conversions. The application is also capable of producing slideshow presentations, HTML gallery, photo sharing upload site support, optical media authoring, and indexing and editing of image metadata like Exif. The DDF file extension also supports the execution of image manipulation techniques such as rotating, cropping, and scaling.
