How to open ADPP file?

An often recurring problem with Adobe Device Profile Package is that ADPP is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that ADPP 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 ADPP 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

In this case, you should first verify that the Adobe Device Central application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Adobe Device Central into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ADPP files.

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

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ADPP 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 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ADPP file with the Adobe Device Central program.

Step 3. Update Adobe Device Central to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Adobe Device Central program with the Adobe Device Profile Package file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ADPP 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 ADPP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ADPP file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ADPP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ADPP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ADPP files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ADPP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ADPP 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. 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 ADPP 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ADPP to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
