How to open FH5 file?
An often recurring problem with Adobe FreeHand Drawing is that FH5 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file FH5 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FH5 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 FreeHand MX
In this case, you should first verify that the Adobe FreeHand MX application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Adobe FreeHand MX into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FH5 with Adobe FreeHand MX.

Programs to open FH5 file
Remember to download programs supporting FH5 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe FreeHand MX with FH5 files
If, despite the installed application, the FH5 file does not start in the Adobe FreeHand MX 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FH5 file with the Adobe FreeHand MX program.
Step 3. Update Adobe FreeHand MX to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe FreeHand MX program with the Adobe FreeHand Drawing 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 Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FH5 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FH5 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FH5 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected FH5 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 FH5 file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FH5 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe Systems Incorporated, 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 file FH5 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move FH5 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FH5 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
