Step 1. Install WordPerfect Office
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WordPerfect Office is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WordPerfect Office into the system search engine.

Programs to open SDL file
Remember to download programs supporting SDL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with SDL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SDL file still does not use the WordPerfect Office program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SDL file with the WordPerfect Office application.
Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version
If, however, after binding WordPerfect Office with Corel Paradox Script Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Corel Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SDL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The SDL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SDL 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SDL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SDL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SDL 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SDL files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SDL except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SDL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SDL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SDL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SDL file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
