How to open CPDT file?
The most common problem when using Adobe Captivate Design Template is that a specific CPDT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that CPDT 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 CPDT 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 Captivate
In this case, you should first verify that the Adobe Captivate application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe Captivate 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 CPDT with Adobe Captivate. Below is a list of programs that support the file CPDT.
Programs to open CPDT file
Remember to download programs supporting CPDT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Captivate with CPDT files
If, despite the installed application, the CPDT file does not start in the Adobe Captivate 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Adobe Captivate application as the default for handling the CPDT file.
Step 3. Update Adobe Captivate to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe Captivate program with the Adobe Captivate Design Template file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Adobe Systems Incorporated website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CPDT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to CPDT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CPDT file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CPDT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CPDT file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 option of recovering data from damaged CPDT files. 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 CPDT 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. Copying the CPDT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
