How to open P7F file?
The most common problem when using DigiSeal Data Format is that a specific P7F is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that P7F 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 P7F 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 digiSeal reader
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that digiSeal reader is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing digiSeal reader 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 P7F with digiSeal reader. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open P7F files.
Programs to open P7F file
Remember to download programs supporting P7F files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of digiSeal reader with P7F files
If, despite the installed application, the P7F file does not start in the digiSeal reader application, you must create a file 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. 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 digiSeal reader application as the default for handling the P7F file.
Step 3. Update digiSeal reader to the latest version
If, despite the association of the digiSeal reader program with the DigiSeal Data Format 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 secrypt GmbH page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the P7F 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 P7F file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our P7F file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover P7F files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of P7F file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair P7F 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 file P7F 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.
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. If possible, you can try to move the P7F file to another location.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the P7F file again. However, some background programs may block the P7F file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
