How to open MXFD file?
The most common problem when using ABBYY Form is that a specific MXFD is not associated with the program. This causes the file MXFD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MXFD 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ABBYY Finereader Pro is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ABBYY Finereader Pro into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MXFD files.
Programs to open MXFD file
Remember to download programs supporting MXFD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ABBYY Finereader Pro with MXFD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MXFD file still does not use the ABBYY Finereader Pro program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MXFD file with the ABBYY Finereader Pro application.
Step 3. Update ABBYY Finereader Pro to the latest version
If, however, after binding ABBYY Finereader Pro with ABBYY Form there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 MXFD 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MXFD file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MXFD file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MXFD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of MXFD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MXFD files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ABBYY
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MXFD 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the MXFD file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MXFD 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.
