Troubleshooting Problems Opening XDW Files

Common XDW Opening Problems

DocuWorks Viewer Light Isn't There

You attempt to load your XDW file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The XDW File Extension". Customarily, this means that DocuWorks Viewer Light is not installed on %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your XDW file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your XDW file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Outdated DocuWorks Viewer Light

Your Fuji Xerox DocuWorks File file is incompatible with DocuWorks Viewer Light because you might have the wrong version installed. Download the latest DocuWorks Viewer Light version from the Fuji Xerox website to ensure you have the correct one installed. The primary cause of this problem is that your Fuji Xerox DocuWorks File file was created by a different (newer) version of DocuWorks Viewer Light than what's installed.

Tip: If you right-click on your XDW file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

Conclusion: The majority of XDW file opening issues are due to not having the correct DocuWorks Viewer Light version installed.
