How to open JBIG2 file?
The main problem with JBIG2 is that the JBIG2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file JBIG2 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 JBIG2 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 Converter Pro
The first step is to check if the computer has the Converter Pro program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Converter Pro in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open JBIG2 files.
Programs to open JBIG2 file
Remember to download programs supporting JBIG2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Converter Pro with JBIG2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the JBIG2 file to open in the Converter Pro 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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 JBIG2 file with the Converter Pro application.
Step 3. Update Converter Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Converter Pro program, it is possible that JBIG2 requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JBIG2 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the JBIG2 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 JBIG2 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JBIG2 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 JBIG2 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JBIG2 file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JBIG2 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move JBIG2 to a different directory.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the JBIG2 file again. 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.
