The OTI file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the OTI files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the OTI file on each system platform.
What is OTI file?
The OTI file has been categorized as Raster Image Files. The author of this format is OASIS. Additionally, the Raster Image Files category contains 522 of other files. OpenDocument Image Template is supported by 3 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. The main program that supports this format is Apache OpenOffice. This was created by Apache Software Foundation. There are also 3 alternative programs to handle the OTI file. You can use NeoOffice in case Apache OpenOffice cannot be used.
How to open OTI file?
An often recurring problem with OpenDocument Image Template is that OTI is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file OTI 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 OTI 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 Apache OpenOffice
In this case, you should first verify that the Apache OpenOffice application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Apache OpenOffice into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file OTI with Apache OpenOffice. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open OTI files.
Programs to open OTI file
Remember to download programs supporting OTI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apache OpenOffice with OTI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OTI file still does not use the Apache OpenOffice program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the OTI file with the Apache OpenOffice application.
Step 3. Update Apache OpenOffice to the latest version
If, however, after binding Apache OpenOffice with OpenDocument Image Template there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Apache Software Foundation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OTI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the OTI file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 OTI file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OTI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the OTI 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OTI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use OASIS help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OTI 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move OTI to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the OTI file again. However, some background programs may block the OTI file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
