Ai file turned into DXF doesnt transfer correctly when opened in CAM software.

Hi please can anyone help. I am trying to create a DXF which can be used with CAM software. The file looks fine in Ai and even CAD software but loses all definition, turning into a black blob, when opened in CAM software. There are shapes within the outline which need cutting out and the DXF file shows intersections where these are. Are these intersections part of the problem? Thank you very much!

Think I might have just fingered it out on my own!

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

When smb sharing, files turn into folders

I use Mountain Lion on my 2012 Air. I connect to a hard drive on my wireless router using the SMB protocol. Random files turn into folders.
I don't know if this is a problem with the OS X SMB protocol or my wireless router, which is a Linksys e3500.
Has anyone encountered this problem?

How is it possible, that a pdf file turns into a psd file while sending with mail

I have send a pdf file as attachment with mail. the file shows correctly as pdf file. but when the file arrived at the addressed location it turned into a psd file. in addition it seems there is a problem sending png and ai files. once those files have arrived through mail I am getting the feedback, that the files are are not scalable, they are fuzzy or completely messed up.
has anyone an idea, where the problem comes from?
thanks for response

Raw Files turn into 175kb preview files.

I have download my RAW files from my Canon 1DS into Photoshop CS2 using a Lexar card reader.
They download as a full RAW file but when I go to open them in bridge the turn into a 175 kb preview file! The strange thing is I download 5 gbs from 5 different cards but not all of them did it. I found that if I download the images several times they would eventually download as full RAW files. I am using a G5 MAC with loads of memory and processing capacity. Is it the problem that the cards are corrupting, the card reader is faulty, CS2 is somehow corrupt (it is a fully registered copy) or that bridge has some weird glich in it. This problem has only just started as I have been this software for some months now.
Cheers Brent.

Leopard? You aren't doing a command/copy (move) are you? There have been reports that "moves" in Leopard is broken...
Otherwise, try another card reader or cable. This isn't something Bridge would be doing to your files...

ID CS3 : the 101 buttons bug - PDF file turning into a form

Hi there,
I'm just mentionning this issue with a clear title (I had mentioned it in another thread but with a wrong topic name, since I hadn't found out the bug).
When working in inDesign CS3, there's a slight but annoying issue with interactive PDF buttons. As soon as your file reaches 101 buttons, the PDF document exported is considered as a form instead of a standard document (no matter if the buttons are present on the master pages, on the same pages or through the document).
I've managed to find a workaround myself, and I found another one on these forums, but no real solution. Here they are:
Workaround #1 (http://http://forums.adobe.com/message/2177707#2177707) :
Instead of creating my controls in the master page (which caused the file to have more than 100 buttons), I created them (only once) in the first page they appeared in. Then, in Acrobat Pro, I just selected them and used the "duplicate" command.
There are two benefits when using this solution:
your PDF document won't turn into a form (which can be a real problem if you don't want to confuse the document users).
your PDF file will be lighter. Indeed, when creating a button in inDesign (even if you create it on the master page) the exported PDF document won't contain X occurences of the same button, but X different buttons (which can incread the size of your document dramaticaly when it reaches a large amount of pages).
Yet, if your document reaches 101 buttons on the solemn content, the bug will trigger anyway.
Workaround #2 (http://http://forums.adobe.com/message/1322652#1322652) :
After having exported your PDF file, lock it against editing (through the password protection system). Your document will still be considered as a form, but the annoying purple box won't pop any longer when you open the file.
This solution is quite simpler, but it still is a workaround to the issue, not a solution.
Well, I hope those workarounds will help someone, but if someone had a *real* solution to it, that would be great.

Thanx! For me — prototyping — to block editing with password is enough (for now).

Files turn into alias. Original file vanished

We are experiencing a scary problem on some of our machines. We are using intel macs with 10.6.7.
They were using InDesign CS5 (7.0.3) at the time of the problem. Both machines have been updated to 7.0.4 and have not had the problem since.
However this has been a periodic error the whole time, so its not easy to replicate it...
This problem is as follows.
During working in InDesign it quits unexpectedly and we need to open it again.
When we locate the file (on a windows server connected with smb) it has turned into a shortcut or alias witch points to nothing.
The original file is nowhere to be found. Also, the file has been labeled with the red label from OSX...
We managed to get the log from one of these incidents:

So far I have not been able to find anyone else with the same error. And in was not mentioned as a fix in the 7.0.4 update we ran.
At this point we do not know when we will loose the next file, and thats not a fun situation...
Has anyone else heard of this error?
At this point even someone else with the problem but no solution would be a comfort..
Thanks

How to advoid Pdf attached files turning into winmail.dat file causing incovinience opening them? And why does the phone automatically changes the file???

The first time i opened the mail, the mail loaded the attactment as pdf file and i was able to open it without any problems. But then when i tried to open it again, i watched the phone automatically turned the pdf file into winmail.dat without any of my control. Since then, i werent able to open the file anymore! And this was lucky that i was able to see it as pdf file - all other attachments i have recieved since using my new ip6 all turn into winmail.dat
this is really incovinient and frustrating for work. i cant believe i cannot just open a pdf file as a pdf file on my ip6 in the emails i recieve. I was on ip4 before this and never have anything like this happened.
Solution needed asap please.
Thankyou!

Hi Jnkm,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your new iPhone 6. If you are getting a winmail.dat file instead of a PDF, you may want to see if it may be the issue noted in the following article:

My files turned into an exec files

why my files that are in my flash disk turned into an exec files? there's also .ink behind it. one of my friends, copied one of my files and her laptop is not a mac while in the school. and when I got home, i was going to check some files that one of my teacher gave me yesterday (this is the one that my friends copied too) and it turned out to be an exec files. and i can't barely open it. my flash disk is also new, and my first files is the one that the teacher gave me. I wonder what is happened. Can anyone help me? Thanks

Probably a setting. Look at the manual.

Audio files turned into white noise

I just opened a couple of session I kept on my firewire audio drive and for some reason some of the audio files have been turned into white noise and obviously rendered unusable. Has this ever happened to anyone? If so can you do anything to sort it out?
Some of those where really important so I would really appreciate if someone had a solution.
Thanks

Creepy!!!

My psd file turned into an unknown file

I created a couple of psd files last night. A simple pricelist in photoshop and I developed a habit of saving every few minutes. I can't remember if I closed photoshop last night or not but when I woke up this morning, my pc had rebooted itself (re-started).
I open photoshop to start working on the files again and this icon appears but with the name that I saved my files as (8.5x11_pricelist) . I tried to open it in photoshop and I get the error: "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." I clicked on properties to see what is going on and it simply states 8.5x11_pricelist file and in the "open with" section it states: unknown.
I don't know what could've happened but I'm devistated. I've been working on this file for sometime now. Anyone have any ideas to get my file back?
Thanks in advanced!

I'm having this exact same problem.
This has happened more than once to me, and I think the issue is in the title you gave your file. All files that I saved that had decimal points in their title converted format the same way yours did.
It had originally been titled Sadistic.Music∞Factory.psd, and was a Photoshop document.
For whatever reason, the file type changed to everything beyond the decimal point in the title (I tried to change the file type manually by renaming it to .psd, but my computer considers the full file name to be 'Sadistic.psd.Music∞Factory').
I can at least prevent any of your future files from doing this to you by saying DON'T USE DECIMAL POINTS. That's as much as I know about the issue. I'm having a bit of a fit over it, myself.
I seriously hope someone can figure this out.

Importing WMA files- turn into mpeg 4 files- Help Please!

I've just installed iTunes for the first time, and while converting my WMA files, it has turned them into mpeg4 files. How can i turn them back to mp3 files????

If the "Kind" says "MPEG Audio" then what you have are MP3 files.
The format to which WMAs will be converted is controlled by the setting in Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings > Import Using.

Files turning into "Offline files" for no good reason. (Also: Hidden surprise

So, as the title says. I have 2 different projekt files, containing the first and the second part of a smaller movie.
The only problem is, i now need to merge the two files together so i can export them into a final file.
Unfortunetly, if i import one of the projekt files into the other, almost all (about 80 %) of the files from the imported projekt are marked 'offline'.
The hassle is, if i try to link them to the appropriate media i get an error saying that the target media is either unsupported or damaged.
The thing is, they are neither unsupported nor damaged. If I were to open said imported projekt file from File->Open, all the movies (including the allegedly "damaged" ones, run smooth as greased lightning on rollerskates.
So whom behold, the problem occurs for some reason when the projekt file gets imported.
Deadline is approaching (Fast) (tomorrow to be exakt) and altough i could postpone it for a little while, I do not wish to as I am sure you understand.
Clues? Solution? Mocking? Anything, I'll tear myself bald before this is solved.
Also, for abovementioned hidden surprise: Things gets worse.
I've already thought about exporting them individually, importing the exported movies into a new project and re-exporting them, just to finally get them together in a file, but when i try to export the first project I get the error "Adobe Premier Pro failed to return the video frame. Aborting". That is, if im lucky. Most of the time PPro just crashes without warning.
I hope this made any sense. If someone help me completely solve the problem, i will upload myself doing a victory dance.
If someone knows of a workaround, i will upload a picture of my right Toe. (if requested, of course)
Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, its me again. To late to edit the post so I'll have to make a new one.
Much to my dismay I have now experimented on one of the "corrupted" 3gp/mpg Movie files. I have tried exporting them to a number of formats (14 to be exact), but each format carries some sort of problem. Either PPro doesn't take the file even to begin with, or just the audio or the video gets imported.
I have also tried exporting the corrupted mpgs yet again through moviemaker, after which I took the exported moviemaker-file and tried linking it with the corrupt file in PPro.
This almost seemed to work, until an error message popped up saying that it's an impossible action since the sourcefile in the timeline holds 1 audio channel, while the file I crafted through Moviemaker holds
b 2 audio channels.
Anyone know if this can be worked on somehow? If this was possible to fix, all problems would most likely be gone and the world be a happier place for all to live in.
I have now given up on fixing the files, and instead I'm trying to find a work-around.
I can think of two ways, both of them is as bad as it gets.
b Workaround #1 :
Export 2 faulty versions of EVERY corrupted sourcefile. One that holds the audio and one that holds the video. replace them with the original "corrupted" file in the timeline, and match the video and audio up. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Drawbacks: There is no guarantee of it to work.
Will take a LONG time to pull of, and might be in vain.
Also holds a great chance of producing other errors.
b Workaround #2 :
Pre-render as much as possible, and then using a program like Fraps to capture the movie in the preview window. After doing this, play it once again with only the audio, then match the two files up.
Drawbacks: Creates an extremely lowquality movie.
Might be impossible to eliminate all lag before shooting with fraps.
But hey, a lowquality movie is better than no movie. This method is also less likely to produce other errors.
b Workaround #3 :
This is not so much of a workaround as it is a small glimpse of hope. I'd go to a friend of mine, install my Premiere on His computer and open the projekt file there. Then crossing my thumbs hoping he can export it on his machine.
So, the bottom line is:
b I need this finished.
As much as i agree with you all saying that they shouldnt have shot it with cellphones, and i oughta return the money and tell them to shoot it for real, it is not a possibility. They are counting on me and i must not let them down.
Again I apoligize for a bit of bad spelling and general messiness of my posts. Things get a bit too complicated for me to explain correctly and smoothly in what is not my native toungue. Even in my native toung i believe i would have problems explaining this.
