The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PDFXML file with the Adobe Acrobat program.
Step 3. Update Adobe Acrobat to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe Acrobat program, it is possible that Adobe PDFXML Document requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PDFXML file

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PDFXML file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PDFXML or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PDFXML files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PDFXML file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 option of recovering data from damaged PDFXML files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PDFXML 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.
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. Copying the PDFXML file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PDFXML file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
