How to open LMD file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LMD 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 ABBYY Finereader Pro
In this case, you should first verify that the ABBYY Finereader Pro application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ABBYY Finereader Pro in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support LMD files.
Programs to open LMD file
Remember to download programs supporting LMD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ABBYY Finereader Pro with LMD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LMD file to open in the ABBYY Finereader Pro application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 ABBYY Finereader Pro application as the default for handling the LMD file.
Step 3. Update ABBYY Finereader Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ABBYY Finereader Pro program, it is possible that Abbyy Finereader Sprint requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ABBYY website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LMD 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to LMD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 LMD or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected LMD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LMD file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 LMD file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ABBYY, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LMD 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the LMD file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the LMD 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LMD file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
