CDXML File Complications


Common CDXML Opening Problems

Open Babel is Not Installed

If you attempt to load your CDXML file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open CDXML Files". Usually, this is because you do not have Open Babel for %%os%% installed. Your operating system cannot associate your CDXML with Open Babel, so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: Another CDXML-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Obsolete Version of Open Babel

Sometimes your installed version of Open Babel won't support your ChemDraw XML File file. Installing the latest version of Open Babel from Open Babel development team is recommended. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


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


Primarily, problems experienced when opening CDXML files are due to having the incorrect version of Open Babel installed on your computer.


Other CDXML File Issues

Errors opening ChemDraw XML File files can still occur even with the latest Open Babel software installed on your computer. If you're still experiencing problems opening CDXML files, there could be other computer problems. Problems unrelated to software:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for CDXML
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the CDXML file in the Windows registry
  • Open Babel or another CDXML application experienced a flawed installation
  • Your CDXML can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • CDXML file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Device drivers for CDXML-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Windows cannot load your ChemDraw XML File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
