Reading a .pdb file

Question

I have a lot of files in .pdb format, some of them downloaded, but until now I can\'t use or read what\'s inside, so I\'m looking for how to read and view the .pdb file form

If you mean PDB as in a "program database" that the debugger uses:

PDB files contain data about a file such as an EXE or DLL that is used to aid in debugging. There are public interfaces that allow you to extract data from the file. See examples here:

If you mean PDB as in a Palm Pilot Database, then I know nothing about it, but the file format is available here:
