The main problem with PagePlus PDF Profile Format is that the PDF_PROFILE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file PDF_PROFILE 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 PDF_PROFILE 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 PagePlus

Programs to open PDF_PROFILE file
Remember to download programs supporting PDF_PROFILE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PagePlus with PDF_PROFILE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PDF_PROFILE file still does not use the PagePlus program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the PagePlus application as the default for handling the PDF_PROFILE file.
Step 3. Update PagePlus to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the PagePlus program, it is possible that PagePlus PDF Profile Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Serif Europe Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PDF_PROFILE file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PDF_PROFILE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 PDF_PROFILE file. Sometimes virus-infected PDF_PROFILE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PDF_PROFILE 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PDF_PROFILE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PDF_PROFILE 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the PDF_PROFILE 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PDF_PROFILE file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
