The EMC file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the EMC files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the EMC file on each system platform.
What is EMC file?
The file in the EMC format belongs to the Encoded Files category. The creator of this file is Striata. Additionally, the Encoded Files category contains 236 of other files. Striata Reader Encrypted Document is most often found on 3 operating systems. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Striata Reader to handle this file. This is a program created by Striata. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs.
How to open EMC file?
The most common problem when using Striata Reader Encrypted Document is that a specific EMC is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open EMC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EMC 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 Striata Reader
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Striata Reader is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Striata Reader 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 EMC with Striata Reader. Below you will find a list of applications that support EMC files.
Programs to open EMC file
Remember to download programs supporting EMC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Striata Reader with EMC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EMC file still does not use the Striata Reader program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the EMC file with the Striata Reader application.
Step 3. Update Striata Reader to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Striata Reader program with the Striata Reader Encrypted Document file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Striata website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EMC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the EMC file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EMC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected EMC 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 EMC files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 EMC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Striata
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EMC 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the EMC file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the EMC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
