How to open AKF file?
An often recurring problem with Adobe Acrobat Key is that AKF is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open AKF, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AKF 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 Acrobat
The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe Acrobat program installed. This can be achieved by typing Adobe Acrobat into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open AKF file
Remember to download programs supporting AKF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Acrobat with AKF files
If, despite the installed application, the AKF file does not start in the Adobe Acrobat application, you must create a file association. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AKF file with the Adobe Acrobat application.
Step 3. Update Adobe Acrobat to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe Acrobat program with the Adobe Acrobat Key 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 AKF file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AKF file. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AKF or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AKF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of AKF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AKF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems Incorporated
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AKF 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. It is best to move AKF to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AKF file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
