How to open FFDATA file?
The most common problem when using ABBYY Eform is that a specific FFDATA is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that FFDATA files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FFDATA 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 ABBYY Finereader Pro
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ABBYY Finereader Pro is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ABBYY Finereader Pro into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support FFDATA files.
Programs to open FFDATA file
Remember to download programs supporting FFDATA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ABBYY Finereader Pro with FFDATA files
If, despite the installed application, the FFDATA file does not start in the ABBYY Finereader Pro application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ABBYY Finereader Pro application as the default for handling the FFDATA file.
Step 3. Update ABBYY Finereader Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ABBYY Finereader Pro program, it is possible that ABBYY Eform requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ABBYY website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FFDATA 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the FFDATA file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 FFDATA or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected FFDATA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FFDATA file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FFDATA file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ABBYY
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FFDATA 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the FFDATA 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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
