It is recommended to use Calca to handle this file. This is a program created by Krueger Systems, Inc..
How to open CALCA file?
An often recurring problem with Calca Document Format is that CALCA is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file CALCA to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CALCA 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 Calca
The first step is to check if the computer has the Calca program installed. To do this, enter the name Calca into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support CALCA files.
Programs to open CALCA file
Remember to download programs supporting CALCA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Calca with CALCA files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CALCA file still does not use the Calca program, it means no association. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CALCA file with the Calca program.
Step 3. Update Calca to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Calca program with the Calca Document Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Krueger Systems, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CALCA 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CALCA file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 CALCA file. However, remember that not every infected CALCA 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 CALCA 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CALCA file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CALCA 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move CALCA to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CALCA file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
