How can I open .ewf file format on iOS (MacBook)

I've dowloaded a form from a local government site in .ewf format.

How can I open it on my MacBook Air?

EWF is "... a file type used to store media images for forensic purposes."

It is used by the Library of Congress for that purpose.

If what you downloaded is supposed to be a fillable form, something is probably wrong with the website that offered it. Contact whoever it might be that created it.

I used several search engines (Google, Brave, DDG, Ecosia) and nothing comes up on .ewf files. .swf does return results.

Ask the website form where you got the file on how to open it.

Hi John,

That I had also found... but it should indeed be a fillable form.

By the way I also searched if perhaps there was anything for Windows, nothing either.

I've asked the institution having the file on their site, to check with their IT... or export to .xls or whatever.

May I learn something, I let you know (just for interest). Thank you
