Issues Opening FT7 Files
Adobe Flash Professional CC Removed
When trying to open your FT7 file, you get the error "Can't Open FT7 File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have Adobe Flash Professional CC for %%os%% installed. You won't be able to double-click to open your FT7 because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your FT7 file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Wrong Version of Adobe Flash Professional CC is Installed
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a FreeHand 7 Drawing Template file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you've got the wrong version of Adobe Flash Professional CC installed, you'll need to install the correct version. The primary cause of this problem is that your FreeHand 7 Drawing Template file was created by a different (newer) version of Adobe Flash Professional CC than what's installed.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the FT7 file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Conclusion: The majority of FT7 file opening issues are due to not having the correct Adobe Flash Professional CC version installed.
