How to open PAUX file?

An often recurring problem with PlasTeX is that PAUX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file PAUX 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 PAUX 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 LaTeX

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that LaTeX is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name LaTeX in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PAUX with LaTeX. Below you will find a list of applications that support PAUX files.

Programs to open PAUX file

Remember to download programs supporting PAUX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of LaTeX with PAUX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PAUX file still does not use the LaTeX program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PAUX file with the LaTeX application.

Step 3. Update LaTeX to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the LaTeX program, it is possible that PlasTeX requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the LaTeX Project Development Team website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PAUX 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 PAUX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PAUX file. 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PAUX file. However, remember that not every infected PAUX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PAUX file. 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 ability to automatically repair PAUX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PAUX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the PAUX file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PAUX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PAUX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
