As its name may reveal, Free Opener has a very clear goal. It allows you to open some rare file formats on Windows computer without worry about downloading other extensions or add-ons. Also, you needn’t to convert to other format for editing or displaying. This is definitely worth software to download for your daily basis. Let me explain.
Supposing that you are trying to open a DOCX file by using your MS Word 2003 but are not able. In the case, perhaps you will manage converting to DOC format by using some online service or installing Microsoft compatibility package to open the file. The two ways in dealing with DOCX file are really good in theory. In practice, perhaps you have to do many frustrated steps to open a quite regular file. Also both solution are not convenient in term of saving time, easiness etc… Instead of that, I think, you can use Free Opener 1.0 to open the DOCX file. Then you are advised to copy the whole content in the file. Open a new window on MS Word 2003 and then paste them into the new one. If you want to save to .DOC file, just do it on Word 2003. Very wonderful!
One of the feature of Free Opener I love the most is its capacity in opening more than regular office file formats. In fact, you can open 75 plus file format without installing any other softwares but only Free Opener. As the developers described, Free Opener supports a range of file formats including some categories such as office, compression, flash, photo, graphic, audio and video.
Besides that, Free Opener 1.0 is not a bare basic opening application. It also allows you to some other tasks such as edit some file formats such as PHP, extract ZIP or RAR files and so on.
As far as I has tested, Free Opener 1.0 has at least are two downsides. Firstly, you need to install some requirement supporting package to use Free Opener. You need to already install K-Lite Codec Pack and the .NET Framework Client Profile before using Free Opener. In my opinion, these softwares are both easy to download and install, but what you will think of if the opening software become more freely?
Another disadvantage is that the software is not able to compare the normal opening one. You would probably have the same feeling with me while opening a long DOC or PDF file. Free Openner can not scroll directly into the bottom of the page to view all content. In the case, you have to turn into the new page, it is quite annoying for someone.
In short, though Free Opener has some disadvantages, it is really a worth and handy software to install on your system, specially when you configure the system of non-geek users. It Free Opener is quite same with Universal Viewer but better with more support.
Free Opener 1.0 has already tested by some famous testing centers such as Cnet folks, Softpedia and McAfee as well. So you have not to worry about its relevant safe matters. Download it here.
