Hi, Terence is rigth, but I have seen java applications that in some way store the data within the application and then it could not be seen as separated PRC/PDB files. Is this your case?
If you plan to convert the PDB using an external tool, then it could be simple as taking the PDB file from the desktop backup directory after a hotsync. Check if any of the files there could be the one you need.
