How to open FRELF file?
An often recurring problem with Abbyy FineReader Engine License is that FRELF is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open FRELF, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FRELF 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the ABBYY Finereader Pro program installed. This can be achieved by typing ABBYY Finereader Pro into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FRELF with ABBYY Finereader Pro. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FRELF files.
Programs to open FRELF file
Remember to download programs supporting FRELF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ABBYY Finereader Pro with FRELF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FRELF file to open in the ABBYY Finereader Pro application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FRELF file with the ABBYY Finereader Pro program.
Step 3. Update ABBYY Finereader Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ABBYY Finereader Pro program with the Abbyy FineReader Engine License 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 ABBYY website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FRELF 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 FRELF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FRELF file. However, remember that not every infected FRELF 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 FRELF 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.
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 FRELF files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ABBYY, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FRELF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 FRELF file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FRELF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FRELF file again. However, some background programs may block the FRELF file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
