PADS import Error

Hi,

I have found some PCB symbols for a component - LTM8001 - which are in PADS format. I was going to use Allegro-> import-> CAD Translators-> pads to convert this symbol to allegro format. However, I saw the file format is *.PCB not *.asc!. Anyway, I selected this file and tried to translate it but during translation I received below Error message:

Translating C:/Users/MyPC/Desktop/pads/LTM8001.PCB.
Using translator version @(#)$CDS:  pads_in.exe v16-6-112A 9/13/2012 Copyr 2012 CADENCE DESIGN SYSTEMS.
Reading PADS ASCII file header.
PARSE ERROR: Unrecognized format in header line of input file.
Line 1:  PCB 4.0 Binary File
ERROR: Finished with errors.

Could anybody help me find the source of problem?

Am I doing something wrong? I am wondering what the differences between .asc and .PCB are for PADS files.

I should add that I am sure this is not Altium PCB file format, the provider - Linear - insists that is a PADS file.


Thanks in advance,

Hossein
