How to open AWE file?
The main problem with Adobe Acrobat Bookmark XML is that the AWE file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open AWE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AWE 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Adobe Acrobat in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open AWE files.
Programs to open AWE file
Remember to download programs supporting AWE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Acrobat with AWE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AWE file to open in the Adobe Acrobat application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 AWE file with the Adobe Acrobat application.
Step 3. Update Adobe Acrobat to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adobe Acrobat with Adobe Acrobat Bookmark XML there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 AWE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the AWE file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. 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 AWE file. However, remember that not every infected AWE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of AWE 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AWE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems Incorporated help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AWE 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move AWE to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AWE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AWE to close. However, some background programs may block the AWE file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
