Programs to open PLD file
Remember to download programs supporting PLD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Photoline with PLD files
If, despite the installed application, the PLD file does not start in the Photoline 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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 PLD file with the Photoline application.
Step 3. Update Photoline to the latest version
If, however, after binding Photoline with PhotoLine Image Document 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 Impressum website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PLD file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PLD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PLD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected PLD 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 PLD 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PLD files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Impressum
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PLD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the PLD file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PLD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PLD file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PLD file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
