How to open APXL file?
An often recurring problem with Keynote Presentation Data Format is that APXL is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that APXL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the APXL 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 Keynote
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Keynote is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Keynote into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file APXL with Keynote. Below is a list of programs that support the file APXL.
Programs to open APXL file
Remember to download programs supporting APXL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Keynote with APXL files
If, despite the installed application, the APXL file does not start in the Keynote application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 APXL file with the Keynote application.
Step 3. Update Keynote to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Keynote program, it is possible that Keynote Presentation Data Format requires a newer version of the program.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 Marek Jedlinski page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the APXL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The APXL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the APXL file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the APXL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected APXL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of APXL 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.
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 APXL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Apple
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file APXL 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. Copying the APXL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the APXL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the APXL file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
