How to open SLZ file?
The main problem with Adobe RoboHelp Screen Layout is that the SLZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SLZ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SLZ 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe RoboHelp program installed. This can be achieved by typing Adobe RoboHelp into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support SLZ files.
Programs to open SLZ file
Remember to download programs supporting SLZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe RoboHelp with SLZ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SLZ file to open in the Adobe RoboHelp application, but you can set it manually. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Adobe RoboHelp application as the default for handling the SLZ file.
Step 3. Update Adobe RoboHelp to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe RoboHelp program, it is possible that Adobe RoboHelp Screen Layout requires a newer version of the program. 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 SLZ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 SLZ file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SLZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SLZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SLZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
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 SLZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe Systems Incorporated, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SLZ 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the SLZ file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SLZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SLZ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
