How to open FCDT file?
The most common problem when using FormsCentral Design Template is that a specific FCDT is not associated with the program. This causes the file FCDT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FCDT 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 FormsCentral
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe FormsCentral is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe FormsCentral into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file FCDT.
Programs to open FCDT file
Remember to download programs supporting FCDT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe FormsCentral with FCDT files
If, despite the installed application, the FCDT file does not start in the Adobe FormsCentral application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FCDT file with the Adobe FormsCentral application.
Step 3. Update Adobe FormsCentral to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe FormsCentral program with the FormsCentral Design Template file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FCDT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The FCDT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FCDT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FCDT file. Sometimes virus-infected FCDT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of FCDT 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 option of recovering data from damaged FCDT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe Systems, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FCDT 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 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 FCDT file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the FCDT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
