Open PPB File

The file extension PPB is associated with two main types of files. One, it refers to the Serif PagePlus Publication files and two, it's used by the Borland C++ Precompiled header files. It's critical to note that these two use completely different applications to open and use the files.

Borland C++ Precompiled Header Files

PPB is used as an extension for Precompiled Header Files by Borland C++. Borland C++, developed by Embarcadero Technologies, is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) used to write, compile, debug, and run programs written in the C++ programming language. It's an exceptional tool for software developers.

The precompiled header files are created with the purpose of holding frequently used information. Instead of reinventing the wheel each time the programmer needs to use the same data, the precompiled header files accelerate the process by providing ready, reusable information. For more details about Borland C++, you may visit the C++ Builder official page.

Serif PagePlus Publication Files

The PPB Suffix is also used by Serif PagePlus Publication files. Serif PagePlus is a popular desktop publishing software designed by Serif, a UK-based software company. The PPB files contain document layout and style information used in desktop publishing making it an ideal tool for publishing businesses, graphic designers and marketers. For more information, users can explore the software on the Serif PagePlus official page.

These files can be opened and edited using Serif PagePlus. Please note that this software has been discontinued by Serif but users who have it can continue to use the software normally.
