Issues Opening 8U Files

Missing Adobe PageMaker

Double-clicking your 8U file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open 8U File". If so, it typically means that you don't have Adobe PageMaker installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your 8U with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: When another 8U application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Wrong Version of Adobe PageMaker is Installed

Sometimes your installed version of Adobe PageMaker won't support your Adobe Pagemaker Roman 8 Extended Character Set Printer Font file. If you've got the wrong version of Adobe PageMaker installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Your Adobe Pagemaker Roman 8 Extended Character Set Printer Font file was probably created by a newer release of Adobe PageMaker than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: Right-clicking on your 8U, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening 8U files are due to having the wrong version of Adobe PageMaker installed.
