How to open PAPERS file?
The most common problem when using Corel Painter Paper Texture Format is that a specific PAPERS is not associated with the program. This causes the file PAPERS 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 PAPERS 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 Corel Painter
The first step is to check if the computer has the Corel Painter program installed. To do this, enter the name Corel Painter into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PAPERS with Corel Painter. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PAPERS files.
Programs to open PAPERS file
Remember to download programs supporting PAPERS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Corel Painter with PAPERS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PAPERS file to open in the Corel Painter application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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 Corel Painter application as the default for handling the PAPERS file.
Step 3. Update Corel Painter to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Corel Painter program with the Corel Painter Paper Texture 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 Corel Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PAPERS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The PAPERS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the PAPERS file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PAPERS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PAPERS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of PAPERS 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PAPERS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PAPERS 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. It is best to move PAPERS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PAPERS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
