How to open DOCBOOK file?
The main problem with OXygen XML Editor Data Format is that the DOCBOOK file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DOCBOOK, 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 DOCBOOK 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 oXygen XML Editor
The first step is to check if the computer has the oXygen XML Editor program installed. This can be achieved by typing oXygen XML Editor into the operating 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 DOCBOOK files.
Programs to open DOCBOOK file
Remember to download programs supporting DOCBOOK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of oXygen XML Editor with DOCBOOK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DOCBOOK file to open in the oXygen XML Editor application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the oXygen XML Editor application as the default for handling the DOCBOOK file.
Step 3. Update oXygen XML Editor to the latest version
If, despite the association of the oXygen XML Editor program with the OXygen XML Editor Data Format 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 SyncRO Soft Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DOCBOOK file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The DOCBOOK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DOCBOOK file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DOCBOOK file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DOCBOOK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DOCBOOK files changes over time. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DOCBOOK file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DOCBOOK 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. It is best to move DOCBOOK to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DOCBOOK to close. However, some background programs may block the DOCBOOK file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
