How to open FLST file?
The main problem with Adobe InDesign Flattener Presets Format is that the FLST file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open FLST, 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 FLST 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 InDesign
The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe InDesign program installed. To do this, enter the name Adobe InDesign 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 FLST with Adobe InDesign. Below you will find a list of applications that support FLST files.
Programs to open FLST file
Remember to download programs supporting FLST files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe InDesign with FLST files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FLST file still does not use the Adobe InDesign program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 FLST file with the Adobe InDesign program.
Step 3. Update Adobe InDesign to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe InDesign program with the Adobe InDesign Flattener Presets Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Adobe Systems Incorporated website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FLST file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the FLST file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FLST file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FLST files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FLST file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FLST file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FLST 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the FLST file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FLST file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FLST to close. 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.
