How to open HPR file?
The main problem with RoboHelp Settings is that the HPR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that HPR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HPR 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 RoboHelp
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe RoboHelp is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Adobe RoboHelp in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support HPR files.
Programs to open HPR file
Remember to download programs supporting HPR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe RoboHelp with HPR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HPR file still does not use the Adobe RoboHelp program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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 Adobe RoboHelp application as the default for handling the HPR file.
Step 3. Update Adobe RoboHelp to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe RoboHelp program, it is possible that RoboHelp Settings requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Adobe Systems Incorporated website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HPR 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:
The HPR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to HPR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HPR or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected HPR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HPR files changes over time. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HPR file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems Incorporated
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file HPR 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the HPR file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the HPR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HPR 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.
