How to open XFT file?

Step 1. Install Adobe LiveCycle

Programs to open XFT file
Remember to download programs supporting XFT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe LiveCycle with XFT files
If, despite the installed application, the XFT file does not start in the Adobe LiveCycle 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 XFT file with the Adobe LiveCycle application.
Step 3. Update Adobe LiveCycle to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe LiveCycle program, it is possible that Adobe Form Designer 5.0 Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XFT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the XFT 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XFT or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XFT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of XFT 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XFT file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file XFT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the XFT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XFT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
