How to open VFM file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VFM 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 Ventura Publisher

Programs to open VFM file
Remember to download programs supporting VFM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ventura Publisher with VFM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VFM file still does not use the Ventura Publisher program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 Ventura Publisher application as the default for handling the VFM file.
Step 3. Update Ventura Publisher to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Ventura Publisher program, it is possible that Ventura Publisher Font Metrics requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Corel Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VFM 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to VFM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VFM or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected VFM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of VFM 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 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 VFM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VFM 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 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. It is best to move VFM to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VFM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VFM file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
