Recently by mistake i delete one of the important .xd file from my hard disk but i managed to recover it. But now when i try to open it in adobe xd it shows error 86 what to do ?
I have attached the file with this post please help its an important document.

I have this exact same problem. Recent XD files seem to be corrupt. older ones working fine. There's a rush project, and Im stuck with this issue. What is the solution? Is there a generic solution than reboot  PC, uninstall/ reinstall/ update CC/ update XD, created a copy to open. Tried it all. Not working 😞

Hi All,

We are sorry to hear you are having trouble with the XD file and getting error 86 on the local document. We would request you to please try the following steps below:

• Try to open the file on other machine. If the file opened up, rename the file and then try to open the file again on the first machine.
• Please create a new user account of your machine and then try to open the file.

   Mac: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95Z107ceDfk
•  For few users this specific solution worked" Forget all about updating an anything! Just press (cmd-space) and then source fore Activitties monitor, and then close all adobe things, after that start again"

If none of the above solution worked, there is a bug logged for the issue and the team is working on it. You may definitely see improvements in future releases of XD. I will update you as soon as the team fixes the issue.

Thanks,

Harshika

Hi Everyone,

I am getting an issue on opening an old xd document which I had accessed last on 25th Nov 2019. When I try to open that xd file now it says the error shown in the image attached below.

I tried solutions provided in this community forum like - Renaming the file and opening in another computer or laptop, reinstalling the Adobe CC App, etc. Nothing works for me and if I lose this file I need to work hard again for the same project. 

I am sharing the xd document as well please let me know if anyone is able to open this in their system as well. If one of you are able to open this xd file then please rename it and do a small change and save it again and share me that version.

Please help me out with the file issue guys. Any kind of help will be appreciated.

Thanks

EDIT: Sorry guys unable to add that xd file here as well. It says some error for the file extension so I am attaching a Dropbox link please download from there and try once.

Hi Ankit,

This is so unfortunate. 

We have a bug logged for this issue. It seems to a file specific issue. You have mentioned that you have attached the file for reference and I don't see any. Could you share the file once again so that I can open it and check what the issue is? (I'm afraid you cannot attach a file here since it is public instead you could send that as a private message). Also, could you also let me know which OS and XD version you are using? 

Hoping to hear from you. 

Regards, 

[#10]

Thanks, Rajesh for your response.
I have edited the same post with a dropbox link. I am pasting that here too. You can download the file from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/71ul2yrkp56hjzi/AYS---111.xd?dl=0

[#11]

I also downloaded Ankit's file, tried opening it (v. 25.1.12.7) with exactly the same result.

I ran the Adobe Log Collector and below is the part of the AdobeXD.log mentioning his file.

Hopes this helps Adobe Support to diagnose the problem, and hopefully offer a solution...

Hi Ankit, 

Thank you for sharing the file. This is what I would be doing, I've filed a bug for this attaching the file that you shared and assigned it to the concerned person. I will also keep you updated when I receive an update on this. I know this wouldn't help since it is blocking your work but that's the best I could at this point in time. My apologies. 

And Peter, thank you for taking time to generate and sharing the logs which would help us identify the issue a little faster.

Regards,

[#13]

Thanks, Rajesh. I hope it will be resolved soon. Thanks for supporting me.
Looking forward to hearing from you regarding the solution.

Thanks

Hi, I was working on a file for couple of weeks. Today(26th Sep) Then it started to give an error. It says There was an error opening the file .....  (Error code: 86). I open it on onother system. Tried opening, but no luck. There's no problem with my other xd documents. I think this is a corrupted file error. Is there any way to fix it? I'm using Windows 10 And XD 

Thank you.

Hi Gaurav,

We are sorry to hear that you are facing trouble using Adobe XD. A few more details would be super helpful.

• Woud you mind telling the OS and XD version of your machine?
• Are you able to open the same file on other system?

If yes, I would suggest renaming the file on other system and save it again. 

Let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Harshika

I can't open an older xd file in version 24.1.22.6 of xd although similar older files in the same location are opening just fine. When I try to open it in xd I get the error 86 saying this is not a valid xd document. I installed the most up to date version of xd and the file I am trying to open was created July 18, 2019.

creative cloud: 5.0.0.354

[#17]

Is this a local document? Can you confirm the document size with us?

Also, is this a document you can share with us? Thanks!

[#18]

The document size is 4 KB and is located on my local iCloud Drive. 

As it is related to my work I am unable to freely share the file, sorry.

[#19]

Hi Ceciliab,

Sorry for the delay in response and thanks for sharing the information asked by Elaine. We would request you to please update XD to the latest version (24.4.22.1) and let us know if you're still facing the issue.

We will try our best to help.

Thanks,

Harshika

When opening a file in Adobe D, it gives an error (Error code: 86) How to deal with this and what is the reason?

<The Title was renamed by moderator>

[#21]

Hi, we're sorry you're having trouble with Adobe XD. In order to help you, you need to provide us with some useful information, such as:

• Adobe XD version in use;
• Specifications of your computer;
• Check if the Creative CLoud app is up to date.

Also, try installing Adobe XD again. I recommend you use Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to uninstall Adobe XD and delete any corrupt files.

[#22]

I am also facing the same issue. pls, help me I've a deadline of tonight.

[#23]

I do not work for Adobe but I figured out 2 temporary solutions.

I keep my files saved to Dropbox's cloud with Seletive Sync. When I tried to directly open the file, it wouldn't work.

- The first thing I tried was having the other designer at my company open the file and resave it for me. That worked, but was tedious.

- The second thing I did which also worked was download the file to my computer. I could open it from my Downloads folder. 

I don't know if either if this will help if your files are saved directly to your computer.

Best of luck!
