How to open PPP file?
The most common problem when using Serif PagePlus Document is that a specific PPP is not associated with the program. This causes the file PPP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PPP 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 PagePlus
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that PagePlus is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing PagePlus into the operating system search engine. 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 PPP files.
Programs to open PPP file
Remember to download programs supporting PPP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PagePlus with PPP files
If, despite the installed application, the PPP file does not start in the PagePlus application, you must create a file 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 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 PPP file with the PagePlus program.
Step 3. Update PagePlus to the latest version
If, however, after binding PagePlus with Serif PagePlus 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 Serif Europe Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PPP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the PPP file contents when downloading or copying. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PPP file. Sometimes virus-infected PPP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PPP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PPP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Serif help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PPP 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PPP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 PPP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PPP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
