Troubleshoot AWF Files


Troubles Opening AWF Files

Adobe Creative Cloud Isn't There

When you double-click your AWF file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have Adobe Creative Cloud installed for %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


Tip: Another AWF-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Wrong Version of Adobe Creative Cloud is Installed

Sometimes your installed version of Adobe Creative Cloud won't support your Adobe WorkFlow Workgroup Plugin file. Download the latest Adobe Creative Cloud version from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


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


Summary: Not having the right Adobe Creative Cloud version on your computer can cause problems opening AWF files.
