How to open OFD file?
An often recurring problem with ObjectView Form Definition is that OFD is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that OFD files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OFD 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 ObjectView Professional Edition
In this case, you should first verify that the ObjectView Professional Edition application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ObjectView Professional Edition into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open OFD files.
Programs to open OFD file
Remember to download programs supporting OFD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ObjectView Professional Edition with OFD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OFD file still does not use the ObjectView Professional Edition 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 OFD file with the ObjectView Professional Edition application.
Step 3. Update ObjectView Professional Edition to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ObjectView Professional Edition program with the ObjectView Form Definition file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Cypresslogic Systems Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OFD file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the OFD file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file OFD or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OFD 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 OFD file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair OFD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Cypresslogic Systems Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file OFD 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.
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 OFD 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the OFD file again. 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.
