How to open JRPRINT file?

An often recurring problem with JasperReports Print Format is that JRPRINT is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that JRPRINT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JRPRINT 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 JasperReports

In this case, you should first verify that the JasperReports application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name JasperReports in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open JRPRINT files.

Programs to open JRPRINT file

Remember to download programs supporting JRPRINT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of JasperReports with JRPRINT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the JRPRINT file to open in the JasperReports 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the JasperReports application as the default for handling the JRPRINT file.

Step 3. Update JasperReports to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the JasperReports program, it is possible that JasperReports Print Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Jaspersoft Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JRPRINT file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the JRPRINT file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the JRPRINT file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JRPRINT 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 JRPRINT 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged JRPRINT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Jaspersoft help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JRPRINT 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move JRPRINT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the JRPRINT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. 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.
