How to open A4R file?
An often recurring problem with Adobe Authorware Package Course is that A4R is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open A4R, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the A4R 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 Authorware

Programs to open A4R file
Remember to download programs supporting A4R files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Authorware with A4R files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the A4R file still does not use the Adobe Authorware program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the A4R file with the Adobe Authorware application.
Step 3. Update Adobe Authorware to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe Authorware program, it is possible that Adobe Authorware Package Course requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the A4R file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The A4R file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the A4R file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our A4R file. However, remember that not every infected A4R file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the A4R file. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular A4R file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file A4R except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the A4R file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the A4R file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
