Sources of RF Problems


Common RF Opening Problems

Adobe FrameMaker Disappeared

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open RF Files" when trying to open your RF. Usually, this is because you do not have Adobe FrameMaker for %%os%% installed. Your operating system cannot associate your RF with Adobe FrameMaker, so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your RF, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Outdated Adobe FrameMaker

In other instances, your Adobe FrameMaker Document file version may not be supported by your version of Adobe FrameMaker. If you've got the wrong version of Adobe FrameMaker installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This issue mainly occurs when your Adobe FrameMaker Document file was created by a newer version of Adobe FrameMaker than you have on your PC.


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


Regardless, most of the RF file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Adobe FrameMaker installed.


Additional RF Opening Issues

Although you might already have Adobe FrameMaker or another RF-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Adobe FrameMaker Document files. If you're still experiencing problems opening RF files, there could be other computer problems. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

  • File references in the Windows Registry for RF are wrong
  • The RF file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Corrupt install of Adobe FrameMaker or other RF-related program
  • RF file corruption
  • Malware-tainted RF file can't be opened
  • RF-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Adobe FrameMaker Document file
