How to open FHD file?
The main problem with FreeHand Drawing Format is that the FHD file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open FHD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FHD 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe FreeHand is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Adobe FreeHand in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FHD with Adobe FreeHand. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FHD files.
Programs to open FHD file
Remember to download programs supporting FHD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe FreeHand with FHD files
If, despite the installed application, the FHD file does not start in the Adobe FreeHand 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FHD file with the Adobe FreeHand program.
Step 3. Update Adobe FreeHand to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adobe FreeHand with FreeHand Drawing Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FHD 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 FHD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FHD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FHD or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FHD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FHD file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FHD file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FHD 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. Copying the FHD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the FHD file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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 FHD file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
