Can't open any Illustrator files.

I'm working in CS5. All of a sudden if I try to open any (old or recent) .eps file I get, "Can't open the illustration. Can't print the illustration. Disk full error has occurred while it's printing." I'm not trying to print nor do I ever print from Illustrator and my disk is not nearly full. I have over 350 gb free on a 500 gb drive. If I try to open an .ai file, it won't open but just says it's because of an unknown error. This happened right after I was exporting an .eps logo to .gif using the "save for web & devices" menu.
FYI, running Mac OC 10.6.8. The previews seem fine and I can place the logos in Photoshop and save as .gif that way. The logos import into both Quark and Indesign and display and print correctly.
Thanks for any help.

You're welcome. This is still an issue though. After opening the PDF in AI, saving it, and placing it in InDesign I tried opening the new AI to make some changes. I got a corrupted file error even though it placed into InDesign fine.
I ended up moving to another machine with AI CS5 (I'm running CS5.1). I was able to open the original EPS file and save it as an AI without a problem. That new AI file now opens in CS5.1 fine.
Since you're having problems with CS5 and I'm having the problem with CS5.1 but not CS5 I'm wondering what the cause of the problem is. Good luck!

  • Upgraded to Tiger and now can't open any illustrator files! Please help me!

    I upgraded my OS to Tiger and then updated to 10.4.8 and now can't get any of my Illustrator EPS files to open. I have spent the whole day trying to figure this one out (Launch Services advice in other posts) without any luck. What is going on here?!!! I have so much serious work to get done this weekend!
    Please help me!

    It's hard for anyone to offer any advice when you don't tell us what specifically is happening or not happening. Is there an error message? If so, what does it say? What version of Illustrator are you using? Does Illustrator open at all? Does it open regular Illustrator files? Have you reinstalled Illustrator?

    Indicas que no puedes abrir ningun archivo de video, se supone que has probado varios formatos, mp4, mov,..
    Has actualizado el OSX a 10.9 ?, funcionaba antes? La versión de Photoshop es la CC, no la CC 2014?
    En el menú de Ayuda>Actualizaciones, cual es el resultado, dice que esta al día?
    Tienes abiertas otras aplicaciones?
    Prueba a cerrar todo, espera media minuto y abre Photoshop a ver que ocurre.

  • Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hey ilyaz20360341,
    Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
    You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
    If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
    Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from internet that was fine with Leopard. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Try two things with Safari not running:
    1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using".  If it's checked, try unchecking it.
    2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin.  If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
    Then see how things work.

  • Can't open any *.exe files

    When I try to open .exe files I get an error message that says "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel." I've gone to control panel > tools > folder options > file types and tried to set "exe" to "application," but that doesn't seem to work. Funny enough, I am able to open other types of programs like pictures, videos and PDF files, and if I open an html file directly I can open Firefox, but I can't open firefox.exe directly. I would like to run an antivirus or malware-check program but, of course, I can't open any .exe files.
    I am running Windows XP SP3 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T61.

    See if you are able to download DDS and save it to your desktop.
    Disable any script blocking protection
    Double click dds.scr to run the tool.
    When done, DDS.txt will open.
    Click Yes at the next prompt for Optional Scan.
    Save both reports to your desktop.
    Please note: You may have to disable any script protection running if the scan fails to run. After downloading the tool, disconnect from the internet and disable all antivirus protection. Run the scan, enable your A/V and reconnect to the internet. Some instructions for disabling AV are HERE.
    Please include the contents of the following logs by copying and pasting the text of each into your next reply:
    DDS.txt
    Attach.txt
    * NOTE: You may need to use another computer to download DDS to a CD or USB flash drive and transfer it to the Desktop of the computer with the problem.
    Based on what shows up in those logs I will post additional advice.

  • Can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard

    I can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard. Is anyone else having this problem?
    I have a standard iWork '08 install. Has anyone experienced? And better yet, know of a fix?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Most users who have had a problem opening Office files with the iWork apps after upgrading to Snow Leopard have the problem fixed by updating to the latest versions. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • Illustrator CS2 - can't open ANY .ai files

    I am receiving the following error message when opening any Illustrator .ai files.    I can create one, close it and attempt to re-open and receive this message.  I am using Illustrator CS2.
    Can't open the illustration.   The illustration does not have the correct number of operands for an operator.
    Offending operation:  ","
    Context:
    % 0 /Real (/attributes/cppr.height),
    % /Real (/attributes/ppr.image.bottom),
    I have tried removing and re-installing Illustrator.   I removed my profile and re-added it...same problem.
    Help!

    Do you run any security tools (virus scanners etc.?) If so, either turn them off temporarily to test, create an exception rule to never scan AI files or at least configure them in such a way, that they scan files only when reading, not writing them. Additionally, simply do a little housekeeping. Download CCleaner and have it remove any temporary files you don't need anymore and clean out otehr garbage. After that, run a defragmentation (select your drive in Explorer, right-click --> Properties --> Advanced). That may help.

  • Downloaded vs. 9.1 and now can't open any PDF files

    Can you open PDF files created on older versions of Adobe if you are running 9.1?  I didn't have any problems with 9.0 so should I delete the new version and reinstall 9.0?  Thanks

  • Can't open ANY pdf files. Updated to 10.1.8--still "Access Denied."

    Hello everyone,
    I am currently unable to open any PDF files.
    I recently did a clean re-install of Windows 7 (restored my Toshiba Satellite to out-of-the-box state).
    After that, I restored all of my personal files from an external HD.
    Now, every time I try to open a PDF, Adobe Reader gives me the following message:
    "There was an error opening the file. Access denied."
    The only solution I've been able to find online has been this:
    Edit > Preferences > General> Clear "Enable Protected Mode at Startup"
    Also,
    Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced)> Clear "Enable Enhanced Security"
    Neither of these has fixed my problem.
    I also updated to the lastest version--10.1.8--with no success.
    I also re-downloaded and installed PDF Creator and its companion, PDF Architect. Curiously enough, I can't open any PDF in that program either. I'm not sure if there is some global setting I'm missing or something.
    Access to these files is critical to my work, so any help is appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Lauren

    I updated from within the Adobe Reader X program (Help > Check for Updates) and it tells me: No updates available. Installed: Adober Reader X (10.1.8) MUI
    Is 11.0.5 something I would have to access another way?
    Also, I'm still not sure if that would fix my problem. It seems most people with the "Access Denied" error had it fixed with the very first 10.1 update, and I have 10.1.8, so I'm not sure what's causing mine.

  • Can't open any iWork file anymore after upgrade !

    Hello, I just upgraded my Pages, Keynote and Numbers from iWork '08 to the new Mavericks versions. I can't open any file anymore!  I got the message that these files are to old and I have to save them first with iWork '09 applications which I do't have! Help please.

    Finally got my hands on iWork 09 and converted all my files individually!
    The iWork guys can still learn something from Microsoft with respect to backwards compatibility!

    We all have the same issue with not being able to open "zip" or "txt" attachments, I just sent customer support an email asking when we will get some type of list showing the reported bugs and some type of change list when they issue updates. We need to know what changes have been made when they issue OS updates.
