Step 2. Create association of Adobe RoboHelp with PHR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PHR file still does not use the Adobe RoboHelp program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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, however, after binding Adobe RoboHelp with RoboHelp Phrase List 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 PHR file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The PHR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the PHR file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PHR file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PHR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PHR 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PHR file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PHR 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PHR file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PHR to close. However, some background programs may block the PHR file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
