Troubleshooting Problems Opening BOOK Files


Typical BOOK Opening Challenges

Adobe FrameMaker is Not Installed

You attempt to load your BOOK file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The BOOK File Extension". Usually, this is because you do not have Adobe FrameMaker for %%os%% installed. You won't be able to double-click to open your BOOK because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


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


Adobe FrameMaker Requires Update

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a FrameMaker Book File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you've got the wrong version of Adobe FrameMaker installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Most of the time your FrameMaker Book File file was created by a newer Adobe FrameMaker than what you have installed.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your BOOK file and clicking "Properties".


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


Other BOOK File Issues

You can still experience errors opening BOOK files even with the latest version of Adobe FrameMaker installed on your PC. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening BOOK files. Additional factors include:

  • BOOK file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • Corruption of the BOOK file description inside the Registry
  • Defective install of a BOOK program, such as Adobe FrameMaker
  • File corruption affecting your BOOK file
  • The BOOK is infected with a virus
  • BOOK-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
  • Windows cannot load your FrameMaker Book File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
