How to open HDPMX file?

The most common problem when using HotDocs Publisher Mapping XML Format is that a specific HDPMX is not associated with the program. This causes the file HDPMX 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 HDPMX 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 HotDocs

In this case, you should first verify that the HotDocs application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name HotDocs 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 HDPMX with HotDocs. Below you will find a list of applications that support HDPMX files.

Programs to open HDPMX file

Remember to download programs supporting HDPMX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of HotDocs with HDPMX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HDPMX file still does not use the HotDocs program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the HotDocs application as the default for handling the HDPMX file.

Step 3. Update HotDocs to the latest version

If, however, after binding HotDocs with HotDocs Publisher Mapping XML Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Matthew Bender & Company, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HDPMX file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The HDPMX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the HDPMX 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HDPMX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected HDPMX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HDPMX files changes over time. 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 ability to automatically repair HDPMX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use HotDocs help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file HDPMX 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 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. It is best to move HDPMX to a different directory.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HDPMX file again. However, some background programs may block the HDPMX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
