Ai CS4 has stopped opening some dwg files

Hi, Hoping someone can help me out.
I have been using illustrator CS4 for a couple of years with no issue, just recently it will no longer open or place all dwg files.
I contacted our cad team and found out that they have upgraded from AutoCAD 2011 to AutoCAD 2012, however, they are still saving the dwg files in 2004 dwg format as they were previously.
Just to confirm I can open 2004 dwg files saved in AutoCAD 2011 but cant open the newer 2012 CAD version. "The file "TGdean.dwg" is an unknown format and cannot be opened."
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance. Deano.

Hi Mylenium,
Sorry for the delay, I have being trying a few other options as well. I have downloaded the trial version of CS5.5 and still have the same issue. Additionally I have upgraded the dxfDWG.ai plug-in which also has not worked.
I have done as you mentioned but i'm afraid I can't understand the lines of symbols and their meanings. I have copied the first paragraph out of each file and have identified 3 changes. These are:

Can you help any further?

My cs4 has stopped opening.what should i do

my cs4 has stopped opening.what should i do?

Do you get any message when you try opening whichever CS4 program you are talking about?
If you get no indications then try uninstalling CS4 using the cleaner tool which helps resolve installation problems for CS3 thru CS6 and for Creative Cloud :

Then reinstall and see if things clear up.

Indesign 2.0 has stopped opening pagemaker 7 files

Suddenly last month Indesign 2.0 stopped opening pagemaker 7 files, after 2 years of converting PM files to indd files and then converting to pfd files without any problems. Now it will not even open the PM files it opened years ago. It will open the indd files it produced years ago. It now gives the message that it either doesn't recognize the type of file or is missing a plugin. I am using an XP, I have uninstalled and reinstalled PM and ID, I have upgraded to ID 2.0.2 and PM 7.01. I have gone back 2 weeks and 1 month ago and tried to restore the system. I have tried convrting to PM6.5 format (p65) rather than PM7 format (pmd)Please help me, I do all my Newsletters and Journals in Pagemaker and use ID to convert to PDF before taking to the commercial printers.
Thanks,
[email protected]

When I first started using Pagemaker, I tried exporting pmd files as pdf, but always got a message that there was no PS printer installed and the program would not create pdf files. (It always seemed strange that Adobe would have capabilities to "export to pdf" within PM, but not provide a ps printer or a distiller with the package.)
After getting ID, I had another way of producing a pdf, so never looked into installing a ps printer driver.
It took a while, but I have deleted XP SP3, reinstalled the security files that were recommended. (It is funny that the uninstall program warned me that ID, Acrobat and a slough of other program may not work well once I had removed SP3.) So far no crashes and ID is again working!
Thanks so much for your help. Surprised I couldn't find more about this incompatability problem on the web or at Adobe.

Hi, my mac has stopped playing some avi files (that used to work). I can see the video. Does anyone know why and what i can do? My version of quicktime is 7.6.9.

Hi i have avi files saved in iphoto that i used to be able to play through quicktime. However in the last few weeks i cannot play many of these files. I can see the videos and click on them but nothing happens (i have version 7.6.9 of quicktime). Does anyone know why this has happened and what i can do about this?
Thanks.

What do you mean by what audio/video formats are involved? These are all files from several digital cameras.
As previously stated, AVI is a file container. It is somewhat old and its originator, Microsoft, dropped official support of it over a decade ago. However, it remains popular with PC users since almost any valid audio and/or video compression format can be stuffed to the file which synchronizes the content by interleaving the individual audio and video frames. The compression format is the specific manner in which the audio and video data are encoded as it is placed in the AVI container. You can find the compression format by inspecting the file in the Finder "Info" window, or in the "Inspector" window of the QT player (or other media player) if the file can be opened.
For instance, one popular compression combination would be to place DivX encoded video and MP3 audio in an AVI file container. However, neither DivX nor MP3 is natively supported by the QT player. (Although iTunes will natively support the MP3 audio.) Therefore, people who wish to play such files in the QT 7 Player would normally install either the DivX component or Perian but not both. Either installation will independently play such files in the QT Player, but if both are installed, the file will usually stop working since these two codecs can create a playback conflict.
However, the AVI container could just as easily contain DV along with DV audio. In this case, the file should play correctly in QT since this compression format is natively supported by the basic component configuration that comes in every current OS installation. Therefore, if such files suddenly stopped playing, this could be an indication that a component has been moved or deleted or that your system or QT embedded structure has become corrupted.

Does anyone else have trouble opening Autocad dwg files in Illustrator CS4?

When I try to open some .dwg files from Autocad I get the message " Version of this LPF file is not supported" Can anyone help with this? Does the problem lie with the (autocad) sender or with Illustrator? Stumped and needing to get on with work!

It probably dies not support that version, for instance v2010

Adobe Photoshop CS4 has Stopped Working on Windows 7

Hey guys and girls. I recently got a new computer running Windows 7 64bit. I still have good ol photoshop cs4 and wanted to use it on this new computer. The install process was completed and as I started the program, I get the "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working" box. I've looked through some forums, and a lot of them mention the wacom tablet issue, which is not the issue since I've yet to install the drivers for my tablet. Has anyone come across this problem at all? This is what shows up when I get that error box.
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\WERCA9F.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\WERE1B8.tmp.appcompat.txt
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\WERE246.tmp.mdmp
Please help, thanks in advance

The first thing that I would do is insure that you have the latest video driver installed (but do keep any older ones, just in case you must roll-back - newest is not always the best).
If that does not help, then open Even Viewer, and check for all warning, or error messages in System and Application tabs, for the time that PS crashed. If you find any with links, follow those links - be patient, as some might take a few moments to send data to MS, and then for MS to process it, to open the proper page for that link plus the data gathered. This ARTICLE goes into a bit more detail, and I do not think that it is too Adobe Premiere-centric.
Good luck,

Photoshop CS Extended can't open some PSD files

Hi,
Yesterday I have created a new PSD file and worked on it and finally saved the file, but now i can't open the file any more. PS always fails to open the file, because of an internal error.
I have tried to open some other PSD files, but 3 of 4 files (on my current HDD) didn't work to open and i don't know why. All of those other PSD files are at least 1 month old and PS could open these files. The last time i have opened these files was two weeks ago. The one PSD file, that worked has the following properties:
image: 1179x1528, 72ppi,8bit,RGB, 15,04 MB
and the files that don't work have the following properties:
image1: 454x340, 71ppi, 16bit, RGB, sRGB (profile), 1,17 MB
image2: 1280x1024, 71ppi, 8bit, RGB, sRGB, 1,92 MB
image3: 1191x1644, 71ppi, 16bit, RGB, sRGB, 12,02 MB
I have got, the meta-data out of Adobe Bridge. I can see the preview Image and the thumbnails in the open-dialog of PS. I tried to open the file with other applications like Paintshop Pro and PhotoImpact and both couldn't open them. Paintshop Pro quits, because it doesn't support the "color model".
I don't know, what else i can do to open these files. I looked around the forum but couldn't find any solution for my problem.
Does anyone know a solution for my problem ?
evangelion2100
PS: I have deleted the pref-file of PS and still it didn't work.

Dear all. After getting the same problem and read all possible solutions online with no success finally I got rid of this problem successfully and Now it is working perfectly again, and I hope It will work for you all.
Here it goes:
BACKGROUND (my case): PS CS3 installed (Premium-Extended), Win Vista 32 Bits. For months it was working perfectly until yesterday, when the app stopped when attempting opening some PSD files. Some other CS3 apps either stopped. 1st I thought it was some kind of file corruption issue.
After 3 uninstall-reinstall attempts of the whole CS3 and still troubleshooting, I went to the Vista Error Log. Regarding PS CS3 there was a DLL file named "CoolType.dll" which was suspicious to be the main cause of this ****.
Making a research, it relates to installed Fonts in Windows, that gave me the clue to all of it.
Yesterday, I installed fonts while working with PS CS3 Im now pretty sure that this process someway altered the Cooltype.dll file, or fonts were not installed properly.
SOLUTION (my case): locate and uninstall recent fonts (which may have been the problem). NOW my PS3 CS3 is working more than PERFECT!!
HOPE THIS CAN HELP. I think this topic regards some kind of failed font installation. Check it out and remember if you have modified something.

How to open a DWG file with AutoCAD options (AppleScript)?

Hi,
I'm looking for help specifying the AutoCAD options when opening DWG files. I have DWG files of floor plans that I always want to open at the same scale.
I can successfully open a DWG file with the default options using:
open POSIX file "/Users/crmckinnon/Desktop/cabin_floor_plan.dwg" as alias without dialogs
But I don't want the default options, so if I try to specify them:
open POSIX file "/Users/crmckinnon/Desktop/cabin_floor_plan.dwg" as alias with options {class:AutoCAD options, scale unit:"autocad inches"} without dialogs
I get a "Can't find alias" error. How do I specify the AutoCAD options? I'm sure this is due to my lack of understanding of AppleScript. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris

I'll answer my own question. Here's how I specified the options:
open POSIX file filePath as alias with options {pGSO:original size, pASU:inches, pASR:12.0 / 0.1875} without dialogs
I had to look in the Apple Script dictionary to get the "codes" to use. The variable names didn't work. I think that's because some have "global" in the name which is a keyword in Apple Script. Here's what the codes translate to:
pGSO = "global scale options"
pASU = "scale unit"
pASR = "scale ratio"
Thanks,
Chris

Photoshop CS4 has stopped working--importing video frames to layers

Whenever I get the part of the video selected that I want and hit okay I get a message saying:
"Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working"
How can I fix this?
Thanks

Also, you can make sure your system is 64 bit capable by:
Open Performance Information and Tools by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Performance Information and Tools.
Click View and print details.
In the System section, you can see what type of operating system you're currently running under System type. Under 64-bit capable, you can see whether you can run a 64-bit version of Windows. (If your computer is already running a 64-bit version of Windows, you won't see the 64-bit capable listing.)

"An error has occurred opening the package file" in InCopy

Hi there,
I have created an InCopy package file from InDesign CS3 (Mac). I am able to open this package file in InCopy CS3 (Mac) without error. However, two editors working in InCopy CS4 (Windows) on different machines receive the following error message when trying to open the .incp file:
"An error has occurred opening the package file"
I have read AnneMarie's excellent cautionary tales about working in a mixed CS3 / CS4 environment, but my understanding was that simply opening the initial .incp file was unlikely to produce an error.
Can anyone suggest what might be causing the error? Should we conclude that the error stems solely from a CS3 / CS4 conflict?
Thanks!
--Stephen

Great tip about the masked filetype, I hadn't realized these packages were so easily extractable.
However, the error message you're receiving is adding a new layer of complexity. A quick search on these forums reveals this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2278850
That thread suggests to me that the error may be related to Snow Leopard. We're using Mac OS 10.5.7 here at work. Could I trouble you to open the file on your Windows machine to attempt to replicate the same error we're receiving in Windows here?
And are there any known issues that could prevent a user from opening a package file?
Thanks.

Unable to open some pdf files

Hi there. Sorry to bother you guys but i'm really puzzled about something. Recently I've had problems opening some pdf files (they open fine on a pc). When i try to open it, the preview window opens but i am told "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." I have on several occasions downloaded the latest version, but this does not seem to solve the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? BTW I am using a macbook running on leopard. Thanks!

I don't know where bubbles went, but this just happened to me for the first time EVER using Mac OS X. I just received a pdf from a co-worker that gives me the "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." when trying to open it with Preview. Like I said, I've never had Preview fail to open a pdf before. Has this been seen before? Is there something new r different about how this pdf might have been created that Preview doesn't handle?
I had recently downloaded a demo of YNAB (You Need A Budget) which also installed Adobe AIR (ugh). Thinking that might have changed something, I uninstalled AIR, rebooted, but no change. This pdf is still unopenable in Preview.
BTW, I am totally uninterested in installing Reader on my system and am hoping I can deal with this singularity.
Thanks to anyone with any insight...

My Photoshop CS4 has stopped working - Error 148:3 (Licensing has stopped working).....help!

My Photoshop CS4 has stopped working - Error 148:3 (Licensing has stopped working).....help please?
I've not changed anything since the last time I used it but it's just refusing to work.

Ed,
It seems that there might be some gremlin in the licensing module. The PS CS4 board has several similar instances. I do not know exactly what the problem is, but this should be an easy reset by Adobe. It has worked for the PS users and requires one free telephone call. I am with Harm on this. I doubt that many, if any, users can be of much help. The installation issues *used* to be simple and quick, but I have not had to make that call, since Illustrator 3. Have your S/N handy. If you purchased from the Adobe Store, a receipt # might come in handy too. Once your product has been verified, you'll probably be asked to enter a key, and away you go.
Good luck,
Hunt

Reader 10 can't open some .pdf files

Reader 10 on a Windows Vista system cannot open some .pdf files. Ones that I create within MS Office open fine. An IRS file (Form W-9) opens fine online, but won't open after downloading. The computer response is "Not responding". Uninstall/reinstall hasn't changed anything, nor has rebooting. Does anybody have suggestions how to tackle this problem?

HI,
It is happening to me too! What browser are you using? It happens to me in Firefox on my brand new MacBook Pro. I don't have the problem on my old MacBook Air....
Kind regards,
Becky

Why does reader freeze while opening some pdf files and others open instantaneously?

I use pdf files created from CamScanner and shared from DropBox. In DropBox, many times (over 50%) while opening the PDF the process freezes and the error message is Adobe Reader is not responding. If you close the program, and re-open the file, it opens fine. I have saved these files to my computer and the same issue occurs. The files are 100-500kb, so I do not think size is the issue. I have reinstalled Reader (11.1.10) and there is no improvement.

This appears to have reduced the time to load a document. Thanks Jimb From: Anubha Goel <[email protected]>
