Troubleshoot EDM Files


Issues Opening EDM Files

Adobe Dreamweaver is Not Installed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open EDM Files" when trying to open your EDM. When this happens, it is commonly due to Adobe Dreamweaver missing in %%os%%. The typical path of opening your EDM with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens EDM files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Adobe Dreamweaver is Out-of-Date

It is possible that your version of Adobe Dreamweaver isn't able to open your Adobe Extension Data Markup Language File file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of Adobe Dreamweaver installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Most of the time your Adobe Extension Data Markup Language File file was created by a newer Adobe Dreamweaver than what you have installed.


Tip: Investigate your EDM file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Summary: Not having the right Adobe Dreamweaver version on your computer can cause problems opening EDM files.


Other EDM File Opening Causes

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Adobe Dreamweaver will resolve your issue. If you are continuing to have errors with loading EDM files, other external issues might be to blame. These issues include:

  • EDM file type Registry entries are wrong
  • Corruption of the EDM file description inside the Registry
  • Invalid installation of a EDM-associated program (eg. Adobe Dreamweaver)
  • Your EDM file is corrupted (issues with your Adobe Extension Data Markup Language File file itself)
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your EDM
  • Drivers associated with EDM software need to be updated
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Adobe Extension Data Markup Language File format
