How to open XCI file?
The most common problem when using Adobe Reader Font Mapping is that a specific XCI is not associated with the program. This causes the file XCI to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XCI 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 Reader
The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe Reader program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Adobe Reader in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file XCI with Adobe Reader. Below is a list of programs that support the file XCI.
Programs to open XCI file
Remember to download programs supporting XCI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Reader with XCI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XCI file still does not use the Adobe Reader program, it means no association. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 XCI file with the Adobe Reader program.
Step 3. Update Adobe Reader to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe Reader program with the Adobe Reader Font Mapping 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 XCI file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XCI file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XCI or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected XCI 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 XCI 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XCI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems Incorporated help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file XCI except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 XCI file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the XCI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XCI file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XCI file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
