How to open IPL file?
The main problem with CorelDRAW Pantone Spot Reference Palette Format is that the IPL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file IPL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IPL 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 CorelDRAW
In this case, you should first verify that the CorelDRAW application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing CorelDRAW into the operating 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 IPL files.
Programs to open IPL file
Remember to download programs supporting IPL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CorelDRAW with IPL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IPL file to open in the CorelDRAW 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the IPL file with the CorelDRAW program.
Step 3. Update CorelDRAW to the latest version
If, however, after binding CorelDRAW with CorelDRAW Pantone Spot Reference Palette Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Corel Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IPL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IPL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IPL file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IPL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IPL files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IPL files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file IPL 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the IPL file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the IPL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
