# Overriding file types

Some file formats (for example, Adobe PDF files, and Rich Text Format files) are actually `binary` files, but they can be mistakenly detected by P4 Server as being `text`. To prevent this problem, your system administrator can use the `p4 typemap` command to specify how such file types are stored. You can always override the file type specified in the typemap table by specifying the `-t filetype` option.
