What is 12U file?
The file with the extension 12U is the Font Files file type. The creator of this file is Adobe Systems Incorporated. Font Files consists of 109 similar files.

How to open 12U file?
The most common problem when using Adobe PageMaker Font is that a specific 12U is not associated with the program. This causes the file 12U to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 12U file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Adobe PageMaker
The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe PageMaker program installed. To do this, enter the name Adobe PageMaker into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support 12U files.
Programs to open 12U file
Remember to download programs supporting 12U files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe PageMaker with 12U files
If, despite the installed application, the 12U file does not start in the Adobe PageMaker application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Adobe PageMaker application as the default for handling the 12U file.
Step 3. Update Adobe PageMaker to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe PageMaker program with the Adobe PageMaker Font file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Adobe Systems Incorporated website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 12U file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to 12U files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 12U file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover 12U files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the 12U files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular 12U file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe Systems Incorporated, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 12U files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the 12U file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the 12U file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
