Error 31 results when a user attempts to open a PDF in Drake Documents and the operating system cannot find an associated program to open or read the PDF:

Error 31 in FindExecutable: There is no association for the specified file type.

This is a Windows error, not a Drake Documents error. When this happens Drake Software recommends uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader.

Sometimes this error occurs when a file type other than .pdf is stored in Drake Documents, but no associated program has been defined for it in the operating system. You can review and change programs associated with specific file types by following the steps in Drake Tax - Changing File Associations.
