How to open SPUB file?

The most common problem when using Swift Publisher Document is that a specific SPUB is not associated with the program. This causes the file SPUB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SPUB 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 BeLight Swift Publisher

In this case, you should first verify that the BeLight Swift Publisher application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name BeLight Swift Publisher into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file SPUB.

Programs to open SPUB file

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

Step 2. Create association of BeLight Swift Publisher with SPUB files

If, despite the installed application, the SPUB file does not start in the BeLight Swift Publisher 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SPUB file with the BeLight Swift Publisher application.

Step 3. Update BeLight Swift Publisher to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the BeLight Swift Publisher program, it is possible that Swift Publisher Document requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPUB 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:

The SPUB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SPUB file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SPUB file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SPUB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of SPUB 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SPUB file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SPUB 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. Copying the SPUB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SPUB file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
