The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TYM 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 PageMaker

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe PageMaker is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Adobe PageMaker into the system search engine.

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

Step 2. Create association of Adobe PageMaker with TYM files

If, despite the installed application, the TYM file does not start in the Adobe PageMaker 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Adobe PageMaker application as the default for handling the TYM file.

Step 3. Update Adobe PageMaker to the latest version

If, however, after binding Adobe PageMaker with Adobe PageMaker Time Stamp there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 TYM 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 TYM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to TYM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TYM or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TYM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TYM files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 ability to automatically repair TYM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems Incorporated
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TYM 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move TYM to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TYM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the TYM file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
