What is SDJVU file?
The file with the extension SDJVU is the Raster Image Files file type. Raster Image Files consists of 522 similar files. DjVu Document Format is supported by 1 operating systems.

How to open SDJVU file?
The main problem with DjVu Document Format is that the SDJVU file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open SDJVU, 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 SDJVU 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 DjVu Solo
In this case, you should first verify that the DjVu Solo application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name DjVu Solo into the 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 SDJVU files.
Programs to open SDJVU file
Remember to download programs supporting SDJVU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DjVu Solo with SDJVU files
If, despite the installed application, the SDJVU file does not start in the DjVu Solo 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. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SDJVU file with the DjVu Solo program.
Step 3. Update DjVu Solo to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DjVu Solo program with the DjVu Document Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the LizardTech, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SDJVU file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SDJVU files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SDJVU or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SDJVU files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SDJVU 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SDJVU 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 SDJVU files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move SDJVU to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SDJVU to close. However, some background programs may block the SDJVU file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
