How to open ASTX file?

An often recurring problem with Adobe Story Exported Script is that ASTX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file ASTX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ASTX 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 Story

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe Story is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Adobe Story in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ASTX with Adobe Story. Below you will find a list of applications that support ASTX files.

Programs to open ASTX file

Remember to download programs supporting ASTX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Story with ASTX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ASTX file still does not use the Adobe Story program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 ASTX file with the Adobe Story program.

Step 3. Update Adobe Story to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Adobe Story program with the Adobe Story Exported Script 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 ASTX file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to ASTX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ASTX file. However, remember that not every infected ASTX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ASTX files changes over time. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ASTX 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 ASTX 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ASTX 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. 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 ASTX file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
