How to open ICST file?
The most common problem when using Adobe InCopy Document Preset is that a specific ICST is not associated with the program. This causes the file ICST 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 ICST 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 InCopy
In this case, you should first verify that the Adobe InCopy application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe InCopy into the operating system search engine. 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 ICST files.
Programs to open ICST file
Remember to download programs supporting ICST files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe InCopy with ICST files
If, despite the installed application, the ICST file does not start in the Adobe InCopy application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ICST file with the Adobe InCopy program.
Step 3. Update Adobe InCopy to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe InCopy program with the Adobe InCopy Document Preset file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ICST file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The ICST file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ICST file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 ICST file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ICST files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ICST 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ICST file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems Incorporated help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ICST 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ICST file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ICST 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 ICST to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ICST file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
