    Fix for StringEscapeUtils:
    Clear out existing class files to ensure they get regenerated from the updated JSP files
    Navigate to HYPERION_HOME\deployments\Websphere6\profile\temp\hyslNode\FinancialReporting\HReports\hr.war
    Backup the hr.war directory
    Search for *.class file under hr.war
    Delete existing class files
    Add HYPERION_HOME\common\JakartaCommons\commons-lang-2.1.jar to Financial Reporting classpath in WebSphere Admin Console. 
    Open WAS Admin Console
    Select Servers->Application Servers
    Select Financial Reporting
    Expand Java Process Management
    Select Process Definition
    Select Java Virtual Machine
    Add "HYPERION_HOME\common\JakartaCommons\commons-lang-2.1.jar" to Classpath (Note: Replace HYPERION_HOME with actual path.)
    Apply and Save the changes
    Restart FR Web App
    I am marking this as correct answer, So that it might help others for their debugging.

  • I am suddenly unable to open elements 9 in windows 7.

    why is this happening and what do I do?

    Thanks -
    That's how I've been doing it since installment.  After I wrote  earlier, I
    discovered that patience is its own reward in that PE suddenly had  opened.
    Probably 5 minutes.  If it persists, may take it out and  reload.

  • Illustrator CS6 suddenly won't open multi page PDF.

    I've been working on a PDF project for a few weeks now and it's been working perfectly. However yesterday, I was suddenly unable to open the PDF as a whole and instead, I was prompted to select a specific page to open. The strange thing is that other PDF files that I've been working with will still open with multiple artboards but this file won't. Does any one know what's casuing this?
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

    If you check the option "Preserve Illustrator editability" in the PDF dialogbox, the PDF will contain the complete Ai file. If you don't (e.g. by selecting "smallest file size") then it won't contain the native AI data. Then you will see what you see.
    Unfortunately, if you don't have a backup, you cannot get the native data back.

  • I am unable to open my own pdfs in Photoshop

    I am unable to open my own pdfs in my Photoshop (ones that I have created in same Photoshop). Can anyone advise?
    I get the message "This is not a valid Portable Document File (PDF) document. It cannot be opened."
    I have to keep recreating the art...ugh!! Is there a way to pull up history to replicate my artwork until I get this resolved??

    History (as indicated in the History Panel) is deleted when closing a file.
    Photoshop > Preferences > General > History Log could be used to get a list of performed steps, but this is not directly executable.
    ScriptingListener.plugin can be used to record operations, but not everything in Photoshop is recordable thusly.
    As for the issue with the pdfs:
    Which settings do you use exactly when saving pdfs?
    Is there a chance the drive you save to is faulty?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

  • Opening content in PDF format on 3120 classic?

    Is it possible to open contents in PDF format on 3120 classic?
    Which app is suitable?
    nokia 3120 classic, fw V 10.00 06-03-09, RM365

    I think it is normal for books to take longer when they include multiple big size reports. I had a similar problem at a client. We ended up not including all the reports in one book and create several books instead. In another situation, we scheduled batches and the books ran automatically. This way, the users just received an email with the whole book in one pdf instead of running it on an ad-hoc basis and wait for the outcome.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

    I am guessing you are using an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. This is the forum for MacBooks, the computer, so the mail works differently.
    You will want to ask your question in the correct forum.

  • Why am I unable to open on line pdf files using Adobe Reader version XI?

    When we go online to view pdf versions of statements at our bank's web site we are unable to view anything but a blank Adobe document. We are unable to download the file to our computer so there is no way for us to view the document. We have Mozilla version 29.0.1 and Adobe Reader XI. Is there anything we can do to correct the issue?

    Have you tried using the reader as a helper application? Will any other PDF reader work?

  • Suddenly unable to open website PDFs

    I can't open any website PDFs. I've tried Adobe Reader and Preview. All I can see when I click on any website PDF is a totally black window. The problem appeared suddenly about two weeks ago.  ( I can open PDFs that were already downloaded.)
    Thanks,

    Hi Limnos,
    This is the Tiger forum?  Then already I've learned something! (Thank you.)
    I first discovered the problem when I tried to download the specs for a stairlift.  I can open and download this spec sheet on my husband's computer, but can't even see it on mine; I just see black.
    http://www.bruno.com/brochures/SRE-2750_ILS-00825_798.pdf
    Also, on a page on that website, I used to be able to watch the video of someone riding up a stairs on a stairlift. Now I get a message that says, "Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player."  So I tried to uninstall my Flash Player and install the one they linked to. I guess I failed, because I still can't watch their video. I can watch YouTube videos, though.

    Here's another example of something that I could always open and download in the past, on a government website, but now all I see is black:

  • Unable to open .eps file "unknown format and cannot be opened" ?

    A client sent me an .eps file (logo). I tried opening it in Illustrator AND photoshop (just to see if it was saved in one vs the other program) - however to no avail.
    Illustrator gives me a message "unknown format and cannot be opened"
    Photoshop gives me a message "photoshop was unable to parse the postscript".
    I'm using Adobe CS4, and I've never seen this message before—would love to know what this means and how to resolve?
    File attached if anyone is able to open / fix it?
    Thanks kindly,
    Chemol

    Thanks for the advice Scott - does compression improve the .eps?  Is it
    silly for me to ask them to compress it since the file is only 766 KB
    (that's how big the attachment is in my email - though I am unable to open
    it)?
    My friend is able to open it on his end - however the 3rd person (client) is
    the one who sent it, and I have already requested a different version - no
    response from them yet.  Unfortunately what the company "has" is what he
    will likely give to me again (ie: same file / unable to open).  So ... I am
    curious about how I can resolve this issue on my end - if possible?
    Do you know what the AI and Photoshop error messages mean? Could the issue
    be a mac vs PC concern? Or is it a corrupt file? Could it be a software
    version issue (old vs new) ... or Quark incompatibility?
    .... just guessing at this point....Any insight as to what different
    scenarios may apply in this situation would be greatly appreciated ..thank
    you.

  • New BB Z30 Freezing, Docs are unable to Open, microSD card automatically formatted after restart, unable to open Some Pictures, Long time for Charging

    I purchased a new BlackBerry Z30 recently from http://store.shopblackberry.com/store/bbrryus/en_US/pd/productID.298806900/categoryID.66826600/paren... and my Phone Model number is STL 100-5. I also purchased a Z30 Leather flip case manufactured by BlackBerry. I am using my BlackBerry Z30 along with the Z30 Leather flip case.
    1) Within the first 2 weeks of receiving and using the new BB Z30 device, I noticed a problem of screen not responding some times. My phone has been freezed at the lock screen. My phone is not responding to any key except for the power button. So, I had an option of only restart/Turn Off my BlackBerry Z30 device. All the time whenever I had this problem, I have to restart my device in order to make it work properly again. I complained about this issue with BlackBerry Technical Support. They assisted me to reset the device to factory settings by taking a full backup. After reset also, I still had the same issue.
    2) I am using Sandisk Extreme microSD card of 32GB with my BB Z30 device. Some times due to the restart option, all the data which I had on my microSD card is being erased and is filled with an unknown files.
    3) I'm also unable to open some pictures which I have taken using BlackBerry Z30. As I observed, most of the pictures which I taken using Blackberry Z30 are unable to be open/view them after a few days. Still, I am able to observe the properties of those pictures. They are in JPEG format only.
    4)Also If I create a Word Document on BlackBerry Z30 using Docs to Go Application and saved it. After closing that particular document and If I try to open it, the document file is not opening and projecting me an error of "This is not a valid .Doc file", but while I check the properties of that particular document it is in .doc format. I tried to transfer the file to my laptop using bluetooth. After a few seconds (approx 2-3 seconds) automatically the transferring is cancelled by the BlackBerry Z30 device. However, I tried to transfer the file within that short time using Bluetooth. While I tried to open it on my laptop using Microsoft Office 2013, the file is displaying with a squares of upto 4 pages while I had a content in it of 3 lines only. While I opened my file using Microsoft Office 2013, there is only squares available in that document.
    5)  My new BlackBerry Z30 is taking a long time of approximately 6-7 hours to charge the device from 10% to 100%
    I request someone to help me with this issues. I would like to thank everyone who can help me with these issues in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    On 7th of Jan 2015 I made my device to factory reset. Also I removed microSD card from my device. As I observed for these 3 days, one time while I received a missed call, I tried to have a look at it. I observed that my screen has been freeze at the receiving call position and its not responding. I tried to close and reopened the display of my device with a flip case which I'm currently using for my device. At this time, after 3-4 swipes to unlock the device, again its back into working condition.
    About Documents, I'm able to create, save and open the documents without any issues till now.
    About Pictures, they are also working fine without any issues.
    I also observed the charging time as approximately 3 hours for charging the device from 14% to 100%.
