How to open TWAIN file?
The main problem with Adobe Acrobat TWAIN 1.8 Specification is that the TWAIN file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file TWAIN 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 TWAIN 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 Acrobat
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe Acrobat is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Adobe Acrobat into the 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 TWAIN files.
Programs to open TWAIN file
Remember to download programs supporting TWAIN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Acrobat with TWAIN files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TWAIN file to open in the Adobe Acrobat 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 TWAIN file with the Adobe Acrobat application.
Step 3. Update Adobe Acrobat to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe Acrobat program with the Adobe Acrobat TWAIN 1.8 Specification file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Adobe Systems Incorporated website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TWAIN file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. 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 TWAIN file. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TWAIN or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TWAIN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of TWAIN 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TWAIN 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.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TWAIN 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.
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. It is best to move TWAIN to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TWAIN file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TWAIN to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
