OFM File Complications


Issues Opening OFM Files

OmniForm Removed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open OFM Files" when trying to open your OFM. If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have OmniForm for %%os%% installed on your computer. The typical path of opening your OFM with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


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


Obsolete Version of OmniForm

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of OmniForm installed that's incompatible with your OmniForm Form type. Visit the Nuance website to download (or purchase) the latest version of OmniForm. The primary cause of this problem is that your OmniForm Form file was created by a different (newer) version of OmniForm than what's installed.


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


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening OFM files are due to having the wrong version of OmniForm installed.


Other OFM File Opening Causes

Although you might already have OmniForm or another OFM-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening OmniForm Form files. If you are still having problems opening OFM files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Problems unrelated to software:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for OFM
  • Unintentional removal of the description of the OFM file inside the Windows Registry
  • Invalid installation of a OFM-associated program (eg. OmniForm)
  • Something has caused file corruption of your OFM
  • Your OFM is infected with malware
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your OFM file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the OmniForm Form file

Poll: How many different computer files (eg. documents, videos, audio) do you typically view or edit on a daily basis?
