DRF to PDF Converter

Discreet Render Format (DRF) is a file format for modeling and rendering games and animation design. It is used exclusively by 3ds Max (3D Studio Max) to create 3D content and graphic scenes. The main advantage of this file type is its open architecture, which makes the file type adaptable and supports improvements.

How to open a DRF file?

As stated above, the only software program available to open DRF is 3ds Max (3D Studio Max). The company Autodesk sells this program, but a free trial period is available.

You can use FreeConvert.com’s DRF to JPG to convert DRF files to JPG, which is a more common file type that most platforms support.

The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a universal file format that comprises characteristics of both text documents and graphic images which makes it one of the most commonly used file types today. The reason PDF is so widely popular is that it can preserve original document formatting. PDF files always look identical on any device or operating system.

How to open a PDF file?

Most people head right to Adobe Acrobat Reader when they need to open a PDF. Adobe created the PDF standard and its program is certainly the most popular free PDF reader out there. It's completely fine to use, but I find it to be a somewhat bloated program with lots of features that you may never need or want to use.

Most web browsers, like both Chrome and Firefox, can open PDFs themselves. You may or may not need an add-on or extension to do it, but it's pretty handy to have one open automatically when you click a PDF link online. I highly recommend SumatraPDF or MuPDF if you're after something a bit more. Both are free.
