How to open INCD file?
The most common problem when using InCopy Document is that a specific INCD is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open INCD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INCD 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe InCopy is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe InCopy into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file INCD with Adobe InCopy. Below is a list of programs that support the file INCD.
Programs to open INCD file
Remember to download programs supporting INCD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe InCopy with INCD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the INCD file to open in the Adobe InCopy application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 INCD file with the Adobe InCopy program.
Step 3. Update Adobe InCopy to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe InCopy program, it is possible that InCopy Document requires a newer version of the program. 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 INCD file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the INCD file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our INCD file. Sometimes virus-infected INCD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of INCD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair INCD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted INCD 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the INCD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
