Adobe Universal Container Format
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
The Universal Container Format (UCF) was developed by Adobe for use in PDFXML. It is based on the Open Container Format (OCF) used in EPUB, itself based on OpenDocument. It is a subset of ZIP, specifying a mandatory initial uncompressed mimetype
file, an optional META-INF
folder containing XML files, and other restrictions on file names and compression methods.
It can contain XMP metadata in the file META-INF/metadata.xml
.
Some formats include +zip
at the end of the mimetype
file's contents, and some do not.
