How to open RHA file?
The most common problem when using Adobe RoboHelp AIR Help Project is that a specific RHA is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that RHA files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RHA 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 Adobe RoboHelp
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe RoboHelp is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe RoboHelp 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 RHA files.
Programs to open RHA file
Remember to download programs supporting RHA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe RoboHelp with RHA files
If, despite the installed application, the RHA file does not start in the Adobe RoboHelp application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RHA file with the Adobe RoboHelp program.
Step 3. Update Adobe RoboHelp to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe RoboHelp program with the Adobe RoboHelp AIR Help Project file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RHA 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 RHA file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RHA or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RHA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of RHA 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RHA files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems Incorporated
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RHA 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 RHA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the RHA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RHA to close. However, some background programs may block the RHA file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
