How to open ALT4 file?
The most common problem when using Adobe PageMaker For Mac is that a specific ALT4 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ALT4 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 ALT4 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 PageMaker
In this case, you should first verify that the Adobe PageMaker application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe PageMaker into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open ALT4 file
Remember to download programs supporting ALT4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe PageMaker with ALT4 files
If, despite the installed application, the ALT4 file does not start in the Adobe PageMaker 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 ALT4 file with the Adobe PageMaker program.
Step 3. Update Adobe PageMaker to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe PageMaker program, it is possible that Adobe PageMaker For Mac requires a newer version of the program. 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 ALT4 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The ALT4 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ALT4 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ALT4 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ALT4 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ALT4 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ALT4 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe Systems Incorporated, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ALT4 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ALT4 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
