How to open ZDL file?
The most common problem when using Avery DesignPro Label Format is that a specific ZDL is not associated with the program. This causes the file ZDL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZDL 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 DesignPro
The first step is to check if the computer has the DesignPro program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DesignPro in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file ZDL.
Programs to open ZDL file
Remember to download programs supporting ZDL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DesignPro with ZDL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ZDL file to open in the DesignPro application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the DesignPro application as the default for handling the ZDL file.
Step 3. Update DesignPro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DesignPro program with the Avery DesignPro Label Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZDL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ZDL file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZDL or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ZDL 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 ZDL files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ZDL files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZDL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the ZDL file to another location will fix the problem.
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 ZDL to close. However, some background programs may block the ZDL file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
