The most likely suspect I've come up with for this is a Corel Print
Office format.

Hey All,
For a set of digitized pharmaceutical cards, I am coming up against an image
file format that seems to be locked in time. It's supposedly a Compressed
PhotoDefiner (?) lossless (.cpd) file (http://www.photodefiner.com/home/).
Though when I try to load up the software, I can't get it to take on any of our
windows machines (running 8 and 7). Don't have a mac on hand so don't know if
that works or not, currently.
In my experience, though, I've always been able to find some rogue third party
file converter (or imagemagick) to be helpful in these scenarios but this
format is just not something that appears to have been accounted for.
Additionally, it's one of those file formats that seem to only pop randomly
generated answer sites with questionable downloads in a google search, such as
http://www.solvusoft.com/en/file-extensions/file-extension-cpd/
Just wanted to see if anyone has come across this format and whether there
might be any tools to convert it.
Thanks,
Drew
