How to open MEH file?

The most common problem when using Adobe Acrobat Language Resource Format is that a specific MEH is not associated with the program. This causes the file MEH 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 MEH 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 Adobe Acrobat

The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe Acrobat program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Adobe Acrobat in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MEH with Adobe Acrobat. Below you will find a list of applications that support MEH files.

Programs to open MEH file

Remember to download programs supporting MEH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Acrobat with MEH files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MEH file still does not use the Adobe Acrobat program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MEH file with the Adobe Acrobat program.

Step 3. Update Adobe Acrobat to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Adobe Acrobat program, it is possible that Adobe Acrobat Language Resource Format requires a newer version of the program. 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 MEH file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The MEH file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MEH 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MEH file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MEH files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MEH 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MEH file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MEH 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 MEH file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MEH to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
