File Extension PF

File type: Private File

About the PF file type:

If Windows cannot find the appropriate program associated with .PF files, then your registry may have errors. Check your Windows registry for errors (includes file association errors).

The PF file extension stands for Private Files. This file extension is used in password-protected files compressed and encrypted using the software Aladdin Systems Stuffit Deluxe. Files with the PF file extension are similar to SIT files. The only different is that SIT files require a password for un-encrypting and decompressing the files. This file extension is also used to archive personal or confidential pieces of data.
