JetForm Filler Form Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use JetForm Design to handle this file. This is a program created by JetForm.
How to open JFM file?
The most common problem when using JetForm Filler Form Format is that a specific JFM is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that JFM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JFM 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 JetForm Design
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that JetForm Design is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name JetForm Design in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file JFM with JetForm Design. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open JFM files.
Programs to open JFM file
Remember to download programs supporting JFM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of JetForm Design with JFM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the JFM file still does not use the JetForm Design program, it means no association. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the JFM file with the JetForm Design application.
Step 3. Update JetForm Design to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the JetForm Design program, it is possible that JetForm Filler Form Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the JetForm website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JFM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The JFM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the JFM file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file JFM or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JFM 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 JFM files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular JFM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JFM 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the JFM file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JFM file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
