It was released by Freedom Scientific, Inc..
How to open JFD file?
The main problem with JAWS Synopsis is that the JFD file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file JFD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JFD 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 JAWS
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that JAWS is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name JAWS into the 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 JFD files.
Programs to open JFD file
Remember to download programs supporting JFD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of JAWS with JFD files
If, despite the installed application, the JFD file does not start in the JAWS 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the JAWS application as the default for handling the JFD file.
Step 3. Update JAWS to the latest version
If, despite the association of the JAWS program with the JAWS Synopsis file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Freedom Scientific, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JFD 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 JFD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the JFD file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the JFD file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JFD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the JFD file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JFD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Freedom Scientific, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted JFD files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the JFD 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file JFD to close. 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.
