PR3 File Complications
Typical PR3 Opening Challenges
Adobe Persuasion Disappeared
If you attempt to load your PR3 file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open PR3 Files". Customarily, this means that Adobe Persuasion is not installed on %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the PR3 file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your PR3 file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Obsolete Version of Adobe Persuasion
In other instances, your Adobe Persuasion V3 Presentation file version may not be supported by your version of Adobe Persuasion. If you do not have the proper version Adobe Persuasion (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This issue mainly occurs when your Adobe Persuasion V3 Presentation file was created by a newer version of Adobe Persuasion than you have on your PC.
Tip: Investigate your PR3 file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening PR3 files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
Associated Difficulties Loading PR3 Files
You can still experience errors opening PR3 files even with the latest version of Adobe Persuasion installed on your PC. If you are still having problems opening PR3 files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. These issues include:
- Invalid PR3 file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
- Deletion of the PR3 file description from the Registry by mistake
- Invalid installation of a PR3-associated program (eg. Adobe Persuasion)
- Something has caused file corruption of your PR3
- PR3 file integrity has been compromised by malware
- PR3-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
- Windows cannot load your Adobe Persuasion V3 Presentation file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
