PK Troubleshooting

Typical PK Opening Challenges

Adobe Audition Disappeared

When you double-click your PK file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Adobe Audition for %%os%% installed on your computer. You won't be able to double-click to open your PK because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

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

Adobe Audition Requires Update

In other instances, your Audition Peak File file version may not be supported by your version of Adobe Audition. Download the latest Adobe Audition version from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Most of the time your Audition Peak File file was created by a newer Adobe Audition than what you have installed.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of PK file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening PK files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
