The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PKF 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 Adobe Audition

Programs to open PKF file
Remember to download programs supporting PKF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Audition with PKF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PKF file to open in the Adobe Audition application, but you can set it manually. 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 PKF file with the Adobe Audition application.
Step 3. Update Adobe Audition to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe Audition program with the Audition Peak Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PKF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PKF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 PKF file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PKF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PKF 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.
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 PKF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PKF 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. 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 PKF 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 PKF file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PKF file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
