How to open LFB file?
The most common problem when using Laserfiche Briefcase Format is that a specific LFB is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that LFB 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 LFB 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 Laserfiche Client and Server
The first step is to check if the computer has the Laserfiche Client and Server program installed. To do this, enter the name Laserfiche Client and Server into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LFB with Laserfiche Client and Server. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open LFB files.
Programs to open LFB file
Remember to download programs supporting LFB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Laserfiche Client and Server with LFB files
If, despite the installed application, the LFB file does not start in the Laserfiche Client and Server 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 LFB file with the Laserfiche Client and Server application.
Step 3. Update Laserfiche Client and Server to the latest version
If, however, after binding Laserfiche Client and Server with Laserfiche Briefcase Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Laserfiche website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LFB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The LFB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LFB file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LFB or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected LFB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LFB 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LFB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LFB 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the LFB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects 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. 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.
