What Is the File Extension DTP?

Desktop publishing is a type of software program used to create documents that contain a combination of pictures and text. There are a number of desktop publishing programs, including Publish-it, which utilized Dtp files.

Identification

A file with a Dtp file extension is a Publish-it document. The Dtp file extension serves as a marker to your computer, signaling the document requires Publish-it to access it.

Location

You are most likely to find a Dtp file in your "Documents" folder.

Function

Dtp files contain a document created with Publish-it and can serve a number of possible functions such as a newsletter, brochures, menus or invitations.

Considerations

Dtp files can only be accessed with the Publish-it program. If you do not have Publish-it installed, you will receive an error message if you attempt to access a Dtp file.

Solution

If you need to print or access a Dtp file on a computer that does not have Publish-it installed, you can export the file as a Pdf, which can be viewed on most systems.
