Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the EDN file with the Adobe Acrobat program.

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to EDN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 EDN file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected EDN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of EDN file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EDN file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EDN 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the EDN file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the EDN 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 EDN to close. 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.
