How to open RUF file?
The most common problem when using ProWORX Tables Reference Format is that a specific RUF is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that RUF 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 RUF 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 ProWORX
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ProWORX is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ProWORX in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RUF with ProWORX. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RUF files.
Programs to open RUF file
Remember to download programs supporting RUF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ProWORX with RUF files
If, despite the installed application, the RUF file does not start in the ProWORX application, you must create a file association. 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 RUF file with the ProWORX program.
Step 3. Update ProWORX to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ProWORX program, it is possible that ProWORX Tables Reference Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Schneider Electric S.A. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RUF 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 RUF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the RUF file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. 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 RUF file. However, remember that not every infected RUF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RUF file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RUF files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Schneider Electric S.A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RUF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the RUF file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the RUF 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 RUF to close. However, some background programs may block the RUF file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
