How to open PVF file?
The most common problem when using PageRecall is that a specific PVF is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that PVF files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PVF 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 PageRecall
In this case, you should first verify that the PageRecall application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing PageRecall into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support PVF files.
Programs to open PVF file
Remember to download programs supporting PVF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PageRecall with PVF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PVF file to open in the PageRecall 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 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 set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PVF file with the PageRecall application.
Step 3. Update PageRecall to the latest version
If, however, after binding PageRecall with PageRecall there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Authentica, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PVF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PVF file. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PVF or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PVF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PVF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PVF files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Authentica, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PVF 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the PVF file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
