Step 2. Create association of Apple Archive Utility with PSZ files
If, despite the installed application, the PSZ file does not start in the Apple Archive Utility 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Apple Archive Utility application as the default for handling the PSZ file.
Step 3. Update Apple Archive Utility to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Apple Archive Utility program, it is possible that Compressed PostScript Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PSZ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The PSZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PSZ file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PSZ file. However, remember that not every infected PSZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PSZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PSZ file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PSZ 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the PSZ 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PSZ file again. However, some background programs may block the PSZ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
