PL7 file extension
The PL7 file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the PL7 files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the PL7 file on each system platform.
What is PL7 file?
The file in the PL7 format belongs to the Developer Files category. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. PL7-07 Application Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use RECOIL to handle this file. This is a program created by Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga.
How to open PL7 file?
The most common problem when using PL7-07 Application Format is that a specific PL7 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open PL7, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PL7 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 RECOIL
The first step is to check if the computer has the RECOIL program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name RECOIL in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PL7 files.
Programs to open PL7 file
Remember to download programs supporting PL7 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RECOIL with PL7 files
If, despite the installed application, the PL7 file does not start in the RECOIL application, you must create a file 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PL7 file with the RECOIL program.
Step 3. Update RECOIL to the latest version
If, however, after binding RECOIL with PL7-07 Application Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PL7 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. This suggests truncating the PL7 file contents when downloading or copying. 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PL7 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PL7 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PL7 file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PL7 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PL7 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PL7 file to another location will fix the problem.
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 PL7 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.
