Advantage Viewer

Data comes in all formats and sizes, and sometimes users find themselves searching the Internet for a specialized software to open a specific file. Advantage Viewer is a program that handles ADT tables and allows you to preview data from various documents.

The application is quick to set up. You only have to unzip the compressed folder, and you can use its features. The interface does not boast an attractive look, but it is duly organized for you to find your way around it.

You can open ADT tables and preview its contents. You are provided with all types of information about file's size, record count, protection status and encryption status. You can also preview the table structure and its data grid.

Although its name implies just a conventional viewing software, Advantage Viewer is capable of converting your data to a wide selection of popular formats, ranging from TXT, HTM or XML to more sophisticated ones, such SQL, MDB and Lotus spreadsheets.

You can convert the entire file, or you can specify a range of rows or a custom selection. You can also perform after-conversion actions, such as opening the file with software installed on your computer or e-mail the results as an attachment. There are sufficient tweaks and options to keep you focused on your task.

In conclusion, the application provides sufficient functionality to cater the needs of beginners and experts alike. The export formats are varied and well adjusted to the market's requirements. Unfortunately, there is no batch mode to speed things up and neither a multi-tabbed environment. Everything must be done sequentially, which might not sit well with some users. However, the application did not crash or display any errors during testing, so you can rest assured you will get the job done.
