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 Adobe FrameMaker application as the default for handling the MAKER file.
Step 3. Update Adobe FrameMaker to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adobe FrameMaker with Adobe Framemaker there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MAKER file

The MAKER file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MAKER file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MAKER file. Sometimes virus-infected MAKER files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MAKER file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MAKER files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems Incorporated help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MAKER 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. Copying the MAKER file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. 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.
