How to open HDUMX file?
The most common problem when using HotDocs User Mapping XML Format is that a specific HDUMX is not associated with the program. This causes the file HDUMX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HDUMX 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that HotDocs is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing HotDocs into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HDUMX files.
Programs to open HDUMX file
Remember to download programs supporting HDUMX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HotDocs with HDUMX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HDUMX file to open in the HotDocs application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the HDUMX file with the HotDocs application.
Step 3. Update HotDocs to the latest version
If, despite the association of the HotDocs program with the HotDocs User Mapping XML 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 Matthew Bender & Company, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HDUMX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the HDUMX 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HDUMX or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HDUMX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HDUMX 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HDUMX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting HotDocs, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HDUMX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move HDUMX to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the HDUMX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HDUMX to close. However, some background programs may block the HDUMX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
