What is a BDOC file?
BDOC is a file extension used for document files digitally signed by authorities. The format is very popular in Estonia and Finland. BDOC format is the successor to DDOC digitally signed document format. BDOC files are used for authenticating digital documents or various secure operations that require user verification.
BDOC files are created with qDigiDoc, a software for issuing and authenticating digital signatures for documents.

How to open BDOC files
If you cannot open the BDOC file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports BDOC among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the BDOC file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the BDOC format files
The inability to open and operate the BDOC file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the DigiDoc Client Container file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a BDOC file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the BDOC file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the BDOC from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the BDOC format
- The BDOC file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the BDOC file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a BDOC file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the BDOC file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the BDOC file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the BDOC file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.
How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.BDOC) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected BDOC file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the BDOC file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. BDOC) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
