How to open PZC file?

The main problem with EditPad Document Format is that the PZC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open PZC, 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 PZC 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 EditPad

The first step is to check if the computer has the EditPad program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name EditPad in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support PZC files.

Programs to open PZC file

Remember to download programs supporting PZC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of EditPad with PZC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PZC file to open in the EditPad application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the EditPad application as the default for handling the PZC file.

Step 3. Update EditPad to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the EditPad program, it is possible that EditPad Document Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Just Great Software Co. Ltd. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PZC file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PZC file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 PZC or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PZC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PZC 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PZC files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PZC except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 PZC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
