Your search engine of choice would have made short work of finding you the answer to that

When I use my preferred search engine (google) to search for "pdd file" (as you recommended to the OP) it opens up up with:

<quote>
A file with the PDD file extension is most likely an Adobe PhotoDeluxe Image file that was created with Adobe PhotoDeluxe. This type of image format is similar to Adobe's PSD format in that they can both store images, lines, text, and layers.May 12, 2017

If I google for "ppd file" (which, I think, was probably your intended advice) I get:

<quote>
PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files are created by vendors to describe the entire set of features and capabilities available for their PostScript printers. A PPD also contains the PostScript code (commands) used to invoke features for the print job.
</quote>

I don't really see how either of those searches results in anything useful for the OP.
(Admittedly, there are other hits listed, but they all seem to elaborate on the initial advice ... for the first page of results, at least.)

In an earlier post, you wrote "Since you've used ActiveState it'll be where ever the ppd file installed it to" ... but those ppd files don't contain any info regarding the destination of the files. They merely determine which tar.gz file will be downloaded from the server.
The actual destination is determined by the PPM utility itself, in accordance with the contents of the gzipped blib (ie the tar.gz file) that was downloaded.

So, don't be too hard on the OP.

Cheers,
Rob
