Step 1. Install Adobe FreeHand MX

Remember to download programs supporting AGD1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe FreeHand MX with AGD1 files
If, despite the installed application, the AGD1 file does not start in the Adobe FreeHand MX application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Adobe FreeHand MX application as the default for handling the AGD1 file.
Step 3. Update Adobe FreeHand MX to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe FreeHand MX program, it is possible that Adobe FreeHand For Mac Drawing requires a newer version of the program. 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 AGD1 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the AGD1 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AGD1 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AGD1 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 AGD1 files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 AGD1 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems Incorporated
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AGD1 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.
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. Copying the AGD1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AGD1 file again. However, some background programs may block the AGD1 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
