How to open ADCP file?

An often recurring problem with Adobe Device Central Project Format is that ADCP is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that ADCP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ADCP 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 Device Central

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe Device Central is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe Device Central into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file ADCP.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Device Central with ADCP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ADCP file to open in the Adobe Device Central application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ADCP file with the Adobe Device Central application.

Step 3. Update Adobe Device Central to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Adobe Device Central program, it is possible that Adobe Device Central Project Format requires a newer version of the program.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 ADCP file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The ADCP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ADCP file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ADCP file. However, remember that not every infected ADCP 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 ADCP file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ADCP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ADCP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the ADCP file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ADCP file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
