How to open WJF file?
The main problem with WinZip Job Format is that the WJF file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that WJF files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WJF 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 WinZip

Programs to open WJF file
Remember to download programs supporting WJF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinZip with WJF files
If, despite the installed application, the WJF file does not start in the WinZip 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WJF file with the WinZip program.
Step 3. Update WinZip to the latest version
If, however, after binding WinZip with WinZip Job Format 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 WinZip Computing, S.L. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WJF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the WJF file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WJF or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected WJF 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 WJF files changes over time. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WJF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Corel
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WJF 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move WJF to a different directory.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WJF to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WJF file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
