How to open UDC file?
An often recurring problem with Adobe InDesign User Dictionary is that UDC is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file UDC 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 UDC 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 InDesign
In this case, you should first verify that the Adobe InDesign application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe InDesign into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file UDC with Adobe InDesign. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open UDC files.
Programs to open UDC file
Remember to download programs supporting UDC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe InDesign with UDC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the UDC file to open in the Adobe InDesign application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the UDC file with the Adobe InDesign program.
Step 3. Update Adobe InDesign to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe InDesign program with the Adobe InDesign User Dictionary file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UDC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the UDC file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our UDC file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover UDC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of UDC 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.
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 option of recovering data from damaged UDC files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe Systems, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UDC 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the UDC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UDC file again. However, some background programs may block the UDC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
