Remember to download programs supporting LNST files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe InDesign with LNST files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LNST file to open in the Adobe InDesign application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LNST file with the Adobe InDesign program.
Step 3. Update Adobe InDesign to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe InDesign program, it is possible that Adobe InDesign Line Presets Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Adobe Systems Incorporated website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LNST file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LNST file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LNST or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LNST 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 LNST 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LNST files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LNST 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the LNST file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the LNST 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 LNST file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
