How to open DEU file?
The main problem with Adobe Reader German Language is that the DEU file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that DEU 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 DEU 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 Reader
In this case, you should first verify that the Adobe Reader application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Adobe Reader into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file DEU.
Programs to open DEU file
Remember to download programs supporting DEU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Reader with DEU files
If, despite the installed application, the DEU file does not start in the Adobe Reader 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Adobe Reader application as the default for handling the DEU file.
Step 3. Update Adobe Reader to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adobe Reader with Adobe Reader German Language 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 DEU 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DEU files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DEU or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected DEU files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DEU file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DEU 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 DEU files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 DEU to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DEU file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DEU file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DEU file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
