How to open IDRC file?

The main problem with Adobe InDesign Resource is that the IDRC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that IDRC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IDRC 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 InDesign

In this case, you should first verify that the Adobe InDesign application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Adobe InDesign into the system search engine. 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 IDRC files.

Programs to open IDRC file

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

Step 2. Create association of Adobe InDesign with IDRC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IDRC file to open in the Adobe InDesign application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IDRC file with the Adobe InDesign application.

Step 3. Update Adobe InDesign to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Adobe InDesign program with the Adobe InDesign Resource 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 IDRC file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to IDRC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IDRC file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected IDRC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of IDRC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IDRC 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 IDRC 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move IDRC to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the IDRC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IDRC to close. However, some background programs may block the IDRC file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
