Step 1. Install Adobe Illustrator

Programs to open PDFS file
Remember to download programs supporting PDFS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Illustrator with PDFS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PDFS file still does not use the Adobe Illustrator program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 PDFS file with the Adobe Illustrator application.
Step 3. Update Adobe Illustrator to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adobe Illustrator with Adobe PDF Presets Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Adobe Systems Incorporated website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PDFS 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 suggests truncating the PDFS 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PDFS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PDFS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PDFS file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PDFS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PDFS files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 PDFS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PDFS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PDFS to close. However, some background programs may block the PDFS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
