How to open FZIP file?
An often recurring problem with Foxit Reader Add-on is that FZIP is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open FZIP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FZIP 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 Foxit Reader

If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support FZIP files.
Programs to open FZIP file
Remember to download programs supporting FZIP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Foxit Reader with FZIP files
If, despite the installed application, the FZIP file does not start in the Foxit Reader application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Foxit Reader application as the default for handling the FZIP file.
Step 3. Update Foxit Reader to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Foxit Reader program, it is possible that Foxit Reader Add-on requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Foxit Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FZIP 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. This suggests truncating the FZIP file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FZIP file. However, remember that not every infected FZIP 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 FZIP 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 FZIP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Foxit help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FZIP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move FZIP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FZIP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the FZIP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
