How to open RTK file?

The most common problem when using Adobe RoboHelp Configuration is that a specific RTK is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open RTK, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RTK 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. To do this, enter the name Adobe RoboHelp into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RTK with Adobe RoboHelp. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RTK files.

Programs to open RTK file

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

Step 2. Create association of Adobe RoboHelp with RTK files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RTK file still does not use the Adobe RoboHelp program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RTK file with the Adobe RoboHelp application.

Step 3. Update Adobe RoboHelp to the latest version

If, however, after binding Adobe RoboHelp with Adobe RoboHelp Configuration there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The RTK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the RTK file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RTK file. However, remember that not every infected RTK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RTK files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RTK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems Incorporated help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RTK 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the RTK file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the RTK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. 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.
