What is LFE file?

The LFE file has been categorized as Settings Files. It was designed by Laserfiche. Additionally, the Settings Files category contains 1305 of other files. LFClient Document 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 Laserfiche Client and Server to handle this file. This is a program created by Laserfiche.

How to open LFE file?

An often recurring problem with LFClient Document is that LFE is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file LFE 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 LFE 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

In this case, you should first verify that the Laserfiche Client and Server application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Laserfiche Client and Server in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file LFE.

Programs to open LFE file

Remember to download programs supporting LFE 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 LFE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LFE file still does not use the Laserfiche Client and Server program, it means no association. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Laserfiche Client and Server application as the default for handling the LFE file.

Step 3. Update Laserfiche Client and Server to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Laserfiche Client and Server program, it is possible that LFClient Document requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Laserfiche website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LFE 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the LFE file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LFE file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected LFE 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 LFE files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LFE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Laserfiche, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LFE 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 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 LFE to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the LFE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the LFE file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
