If you can’t view the WPF file by double-clicking it, try opening it in a different program. Some of the most popular programs for opening WPF files are InForms Form, WordPerfect Text File, and WorldPort Fax. Check out the developers’ websites, download one or more of these programs, then try to open your WPF file again.

Get a Clue From the File Type

One file extension can be used for multiple types of files. Knowing the type of file you have can help you find out how to open it. Most WPF files are categorized as Data Files, which can be opened by numerous software packages. See if you have a program already installed on your computer that’s designed to open Data Files. Hopefully, this program might also work with your WPF file.

You can find out which type of file your WPF file is by looking at the file’s properties. Just right-click the file icon and select “Properties” or “More Info.” On a Windows computer, the file type will be listed under “Type of File”; on a Mac, it will be under “Kind.”

Contact a Developer

Nobody knows more about file extensions than software developers. If you can’t open your WPF file using any of the usual programs, you can contact the program’s software developer and ask them for help. Find your program’s developer in the list below:

Software Developer
InForms Form PC Software Company
WordPerfect Text File Corel Corporation
WorldPort Fax PC Software Company
Enable Document Windows Programmer

Get a Universal File Viewer

When no other program will open your WPF file, universal file viewers like File Magic (Download) are here to save the day. These programs can open many different types of files, so if none of the above tips work, a universal file viewer is the way to go. Note that some files are not compatible with universal file viewers and can only be opened in binary format.
