How to open FRL file?
The most common problem when using Electronic Form Loader Format is that a specific FRL is not associated with the program. This causes the file FRL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FRL 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 LiveCycle
In this case, you should first verify that the Adobe LiveCycle application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Adobe LiveCycle into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FRL files.
Programs to open FRL file
Remember to download programs supporting FRL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe LiveCycle with FRL files
If, despite the installed application, the FRL file does not start in the Adobe LiveCycle application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FRL file with the Adobe LiveCycle application.
Step 3. Update Adobe LiveCycle to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe LiveCycle program with the Electronic Form Loader Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FRL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The FRL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the FRL file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FRL file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FRL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FRL 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FRL file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FRL 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the FRL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FRL to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
