The FT7 file format represents a vector graphics drawing created by Macromedia FreeHand 7, a now-discontinued illustration software subsequently acquired by Adobe Systems. These files primarily store scalable vector illustrations, page layouts, and graphic design elements used in professional print and digital publishing. As a legacy format, it is rarely encountered in modern workflows, though compatible viewers or converters such as Adobe Illustrator may still be required to access archived content.
Validation Code
How to validate .ft7 files in Python
Python
def is_ft7(file_path: str) -> bool:
"""Check if file is a valid FT7 by magic bytes."""
signature = bytes([0x41, 0x47, 0x44, 0x32])
with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
return f.read(4) == signature
How to validate .ft7 files in Node.js
Node.js
function isFT7(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
const signature = Buffer.from([0x41, 0x47, 0x44, 0x32]);
return buffer.subarray(0, 4).equals(signature);
}
Go
func IsFT7(data []byte) bool {
signature := []byte{0x41, 0x47, 0x44, 0x32}
if len(data) < 4 {
return false
}
return bytes.Equal(data[:4], signature)
}
