Troubleshooting Problems Opening OPF Files

Issues Opening OPF Files

FlipViewer Disappeared

When you double-click your OPF file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because FlipViewer isn't installed on your PC. The typical path of opening your OPF with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: If you don't have FlipViewer installed, and you know of another program to open your OPF file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

Obsolete Version of FlipViewer

Your FlipViewer FlipBook File file is incompatible with FlipViewer because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of FlipViewer installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This issue mainly occurs when your FlipViewer FlipBook File file was created by a newer version of FlipViewer than you have on your PC.

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

Summary: Not having the right FlipViewer version on your computer can cause problems opening OPF files.
