Step 2. Create association of Adobe Reader with RMF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RMF file to open in the Adobe Reader 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RMF file with the Adobe Reader program.
Step 3. Update Adobe Reader to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adobe Reader with Adobe Rights Management Document there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Adobe Systems Incorporated website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RMF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RMF 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 RMF or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RMF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RMF file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RMF files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RMF 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move RMF to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RMF file again. However, some background programs may block the RMF file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
