Step 2. Create association of DVIPDFMx with XBB files

If, despite the installed application, the XBB file does not start in the DVIPDFMx application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the XBB file with the DVIPDFMx application.

If, however, after binding DVIPDFMx with DVIPDFMx Output there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the DVIPDFMx Project Team website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XBB file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XBB file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XBB file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected XBB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of XBB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XBB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact DVIPDFMx Project Team
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted XBB 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. If possible, you can try to move the XBB 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 XBB file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
