How to open MML file?
An often recurring problem with FrameMaker Maker Markup Language Format is that MML is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open MML, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MML 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 FrameMaker
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe FrameMaker is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe FrameMaker into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support MML files.
Programs to open MML file
Remember to download programs supporting MML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe FrameMaker with MML files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MML file to open in the Adobe FrameMaker application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 MML file.
Step 3. Update Adobe FrameMaker to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe FrameMaker program with the FrameMaker Maker Markup Language Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. 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 MML file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The MML file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MML files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MML file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MML 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 MML files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MML file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe Systems, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MML files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the MML file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the MML file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MML file again. However, some background programs may block the MML file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
