AI linked files in wrong colorspace in ID - 2

Thanks Peter Spiers.
I have checked the document color mode was set to CMYK and the file is created in spot colors. Previously I was using CS5.5 and have moved to CC recently. The logo artwork was created ages ago, maybe even as early as CS3?

Can you see anything in this?

  • There's something really wrong with linked files

    I have two days trying to solve this problem, but i can't.
    The demo movie has 6 linked images, 1 flash not linked and 1 flash
    linked. If i plublish this with director 10.1.1, everything is ok.
    But when i publish this in director 11, the linked files don't
    show. If i play the movie inside the dswmedia folder, works fine,
    but when i try it on a browser, don't work. Anybody can tell me
    what's wrong?
    sayeg

    Hi Sayeg,
    The Publish Settings have been enhanced in Director 11 for
    the Linked files publishing.
    If there are Linked files/casts in your movie then the
    "dswmedia" and "Linked files" folder are created automatically and
    the .dcr files will have internal links to these paths, relative to
    the main folder. This folder hierarchy should be maintained, else
    it will not work.

  • Problems working with linked files in illustrator

    Hi everyone, i hope you can help me with this doubt that had given me problems since I started using illustrator. I'm using linked files in illustrator because i'm able to modify the files later, as I do in InDesign too, but in both cases I had have a lot of problems with the links, I don't know if i'm doing something bad, but this is what I do: I create a folder where I place my file (illustrator or InDesign) and the files that should be linked. Whit this i'm expecting of it to work like an html where the links works while they are in the folder, no matter if you move the folder, the links keeps working on the HTML.
    But I have noticed that it doesn't work in the same way, because, I had have cases when the links work perfectly, but then i format my computer (Mac) and after that, I open my files againg but the links don't work already. I have exactly the same problem with my coworker, because im trying to edit a file with linked files since the place where it is in the other computer, obviously it opens perfectly there, but in my computer it asked to repair the links, so I select to repair automatically but I ask me to does it manually... So this is getting me tired, because I must repair the links here in my computer to work on it, and when for it get finished, my coworker should repair the links again, and this is going to be always we share files or i format my computer. It is important to mention that my coworker and me use mac with leopard and the same version of adobe (CS4).
    So, as I said before, i dont knoe if my method is incorrect, should I do something different? any option to activate? or program that I should use? because I have herd a lot of Adobe Bridge, I don't know if this could have a option that could help me.
    I hope finally somebody can help me with this doubt, because im sure that I'm not the only one having thie problem.
    Thanks for your help

    Hi. I am also experiencing this very annoying problem. Currently using version CS2, but this problem dates back to version 9.  I check the box to link a tif file, not embed it, in Illustrator. All is well until I save and reopen the file. Suddenly the file is embedded. No other changes have been made to the folders or anything else. It just embeds itself and cannot be linked again.
    So far, I conclude that something in the file itself has corrupted, because it is not possible to place a new file and have it link correctly again. So if I anticipate more changes, I create a new file.
    Notice the upper left corner of the top toolbar. If you click on a file that has embedded itself, the file will be identified as "Group" instead of "linked file."
    I've tried all kinds of things, like trying to ungroup it, trying to release a clipping mask, and so forth, to see what went wrong. Have not figured it out.

  • Dumb Question: Adding a Linked File

    I'm an ex-Frontpage dillitante and new to iWeb.  I want to add a bunch of linked files, i.e., I have 28 files I want the user to have access to via a click.  When I drag them into a page, I get a little snapshot of the first page of the doc instead of the filename as a link.  What am I doing wrong?

    If you want the files to be downlloaded immediately when the link is selected zip/compress them and link to the zipped file.
    If the files are pdf files and you don't zip them they will attempt to open in a new window.  However, some browsers requrire a plug-in in order to view the pdf file.  Plain text files will open the the browser window.
    If you haved a lot of files you intend to add to a single page it would be more expedient to upload them to your server and link to them there as you would to an external webpage.  That way iWeb wouldn't have to upload them itself when you publish the page.  It's just a more efficient method.

  • Nested linked files - how to update?

    I'm just getting started with placing linked files to create a composite form.  I have created phone fields, e-mail field, address block field, etc.  I then want to compose intermediate sections like "patient info" and "insurance info".  Finally I have several forms that will themselves be composed of these sections.
    Essentially I have nested linked files.  Now, if I modify my "phone field" file I won't see the updates in the top level form file.  I need to work from the bottom up and FORCE (Save As) each intermediate file to make the changes propagate to the top level document.
    This seems incredibly short sighted on Adobe's part and makes me suspect that I'm doing this all wrong or maybe using the incorrect application.  Maybe InDesign handles this better?
    I'm using CS2, maybe CS3 or 4 handles this better?
    Any feedback, tips or suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated.

    I think you misunderstood Larry here. You are not meant to create the graphical look in AI, but the structure. That is the part I think you are not keeping separate: Content and structure. ID would be a much better tool to do that. You'd import the graphics, but determine how they go together in ID and place text fields and such there. You'd even circumvent the nesting issue by creating snippets, which are basically sparate, but monitored ID documents which constantly are updated, if something changes in one of them. And Larry is not completely correct. You can edit AI items partly in ID like converting outlines to ID text and graphic objects (containers) to control the text flow plus you can trigger layer visibility. It does however not go so far as to allow you full access otehr than "Edit Original..."

  • Detect linked files in Illustrator CS

    Is it possible to script the detection of linked files in Illustrator CS and above and actually get the linked file name to check and see if it is in the same directory for relinking?

  • Moving indesign files (.indd) and link files

    Hi guys
    How can I move indesign files (.indd) and link files to another folder without breaking the link? or recreate the link.
    I couldnt find any good answer.
    Thanks

    As per my knowledge, such scenario is not supported by product, these links are of "absolute" type (let Adobe team prove I am wrong).
    If you have 360 files and need to rename/move the whole project, the only reasonable way is to write a script that would find and update all references with new location.
    The only other trick that comes to my mind is to manipulate the file system (NTFS or whatever Mac OS X uses), i.e. create a hardlink for folder, and/or bunch of softlinks for files, between old and new location, so that from the program's point of view the path and filenames would be the same. A sort of a quick & dirty hack.
    But it only makes sense to do so, if you do not need to reuse old location and filenames. A script to fix broken links, especially if you handle and support it yourself, will resolve this problem forever.

  • Help Needed. Upgrade from CS2 to CS3 and now PSD Linked Files Not Read?

    Hi!
    Just upgraded to Illustrator CS3 and I am trying to work on a document I created in CS2 and for some reason when I open the document I am getting this message:
    Could not find the linked file "filename.psd". Choose repair to locate the missing file, Replace to select another file, or Ignore to leave the link unchanged.
    Now I went in to try to re-link the file, but I can not 'see' any PSD files? I had a series of transparent PSDs in that document.
    Why can't the new Illustrator see my PSD files and how do I fix this problem?
    Thanks!

    Hi! I just wanted to post back to say that I ran the installation CD again to fix whatever might be wrong and when I re-opened Illustrator I could go in and see the "PSD" extension to re-associate the files.
    I'm now having problems with Photoshop CS3, so I'll have to sort that now. Not the smoothest of upgrades to this CS3 suite, I must say. LOL
    Oh well!

  • Time Machine backup fails linking files

    I recently had a external disk fail that was still under warrenty, so I dually went to the Apple store and got a replacement.  After plugging it in I went into Time Machine and performed a restore (I was backing up the external disk to another external time machine managed disk). All worked perfectly so far. However, come the next backup I got
    "Time Machine Error Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while linking files on the backup volume"
    Searching the forums I don't see any obvious solution. In the system log I also see 'Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: MyBigDisk' every time there is a backup.
    Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?

    Ok, I finally figured this out. The problem is that the old and new disks both had the same name (MyBigDisk) and time machine was getting consused. To fix
    Complete the restoration of the drive via timemachine
    Rename the drive (on Leopard in finder under devices ctrl-click / right-click on the name and rename)
    Go into time machine preferences and remove the drive from the exclusion list
    Perform a Time Machine backup
    This will re-backup the freshly restored external drive but this isn't a big issue as older files will be deleted from Time Machine as necessary.
    Restoring files on the external disk from before the failure: Now the drive is renamed the older backups seem to have disappeared. Actually, they are there, just tricky to find. To find an old file on the old named disk:
    Go into finder and make sure show path bar is selected
    Go to you home directory in finder
    Enter Time Machine
    Select the date you want to go back to
    In the path bar find the directory with the name like 2011-11-12-202011, click on folder
    The old drive will be in that directory - use the normal restore process
    Why is it broken
    My guess is that to avoid accidentally backing up the wrong disk (after all every WD My Book is called MyBook when plugged in) they use the UUID (Universally Unique ID) to identify the drive. But, we see the MyBook name in Finder and Time Machine so they need to link the UUID to the MyBook name. This is a one shot, once done, never undone.
    So, now when it tries to check that link with the new disk it will have a different UUID (that's the UU bit!) and complains.  Renaming that disk breaks the link (there's no MyBook now, so no link to check)

    I'll highlight the important parts from that link for you:

    I almost always use the "-xdev" option to prevent 'find' from descending

    It's pretty rare that I actually want to search my entire system, which
    would include a news spool, a seldom used MS-Windows file system,
    possibly a mounted CD or DVD, ..., and of course /proc.
    why_no_proc wrote:The problem with the link count in /proc is that it changes every time a

    'find' sees during processing might not agree with the link count that
    it read at the start. I admit that doesn't seem terribly likely unless
    the system is quite busy, but it can certainly happen.

  • Time Machine fails with "error while linking files on the backup volume"

    One of my drives was nearly full. I moved some folders from that drive to one that had more space.
    The next TM backup failed with "error while linking files on the backup volume". A full backup is about 620 GB, although this backup shouldn't have been a complete one. There was 570+ GB free on the drive.
    A Disk Verify reported "Drive appears to be okay." Earlier TM backups appeared to be fine (at least accessible). I swapped the TM drive for another, initialized it, and TM used that drive with no complaints.
    What does the message mean?
    Thanks,

  • ID CS4 Anti-Alias problems with Linked files

    All the linked files i have put into Indesign CS 4 whether they are PSD, Tiff,layered or flat have shown up slightly pixelated. When i print the same file from its native program (in this case Photoshop CS4) the files print clean and crisp and the text and artwork have clean edges but when i link the file into an Indesign CS4 doc and then print it off, the file comes out fairly clean but there are jagged lines on the text and art.
    Mac OX 10.4.11
    Intel Mac Pro G5
    4GB Ram
    2X 2.66 Dual Core Intel Xeon
    250GB HD

    I now understand your question and yes in the graphics tab in my Indesign print settings I have it set to send all data. I exported the indesign file as a high res PDF and the output on the printer was the same. I don't believe its a printer setting because when i switch my display performace from typical to high-res the text and art from the linked file look pixalated. On the layered psd file the text files are not converted and yet when displayed through ID CS4 the text looks fuzzy and slightly pixalated.
    Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Unable to open linked files in new CS3 install

    One of my clients just purchased a new PC (Dell Inspiron 537S) with Windows Vista Home Premium to replace his old Inspiron 530 (also running Vista HP). After installing CS3 Design Studio and attaching an external drive loaded with his file archive, all of his Illustrator files which include links load with the following error:
    "An error occurred trying to read the linked file "file.xxx". Choose Repair to locate the missing file, Replace to select another file or Ignore to leave the link unchanged."
    This shouldn't be unusual, if the path to a linked file has changed, you'd need to point the link to the new path, but clicking Repair or Replace and browsing to the linked file (which invarably is in the same directory as the .ai file, and is usually a .psd which opens just fine in Photoshop) just cycles back to the same error message, ad infinitum. After about 30 tries, I got one of the links to load correctly, resaved the document, thinking that would repair it, but when I opened it again, got the error.
    These files were created on multiple computers, and none of the other computers (all with CS3) have ever had any trouble opening them. This despite the drive letter on the external drive being unstable on the old system (would often be J:, K: or L:, and images always worked).
    Any new .ai files we create on this file which have links all work fine.
    Manually replacing the links in a file is not an option for two reasons:
    1. There are thousands of .ai files in this archive, and re-linking images in them will take weeks.
    2. It simply doesn't work. I tried ignoring the error on one file to load it, and re-linking the .psd backgrounds to re-save it, and the images still didn't load after re-linking them.
    I have already tried doing a factory-restore of the system and reinstalling CS3, making sure that there were no errors in the install. What else might cause this behavior, and how can I resolve it?

    What else might cause this behavior, and how can I resolve it?
    Outdated permissions on the files from your old computer. Right-click, Properties --> Security --> Advanced, disable Inherit settings from parent folders, chose to copy. After that, delete outdated security keys and assign current ones. You may even need to go so fart as to Take Ownership of some files to correctly restore the new system's default security settings.

  • Receiving an export file error: wrong type

    I have created a movie several times in FCP and then exported the movie to QT without any problems. Now all of a sudden, I can't get the movie to export correctly. After the 2 hour export, I'll check on FCP to find that the program has shut down without an "Unexpected Shut Down" message. I check for the exported movie which I find in the saved folder. I click to open and verify the completed job, but find that I get an error instead : "Error: Wrong Type".
    The last successful movie I created was September 14th, prior to the QT 7.5.5 upgrade. I thought it was the upgrade, as I found out that FCP does not do well with the new QT version, so I reverted to QT 7.5, but I am still experiencing the same problem with FCP quitting and the movie not being able to read.
    What is going on? Can anyone help?

    Francois:
    This is a crazy solution, but this happened to me last week and this solution enabled me to open my files again -- they were all greyed out and I thought I'd lost them. I took my drive in to an Apple Store Genius Bar without resolution and spend 2 hours online with ProApps (FCE/FCP) tech support, also with no resolution.
    This fix is based on the fact that FCP when it is started, it automatically opens the project that was open when it was closed. First, in FCP save the current project (this can be any project -- I created a placeholder project -- to a dummy name -- I used "save me". Close FCP and delete the dummy name ("save me") project. Now rename the project that is greyed out and provides the File Error: Wrong Type message that you would like to open to the dummy name, so that it's now called "save me". Now open FCP again. Now save the recuperated file using the original name.

  • Can I open .ai file w/ text editor and edit linked file path?

    I want to relink a placed file in a lot of illustrator files to a new file with a different name. I've tried setting up various actions but it is not doing what I need. If I open the file in a text editor such as Notepad++ or Text Wrangler, I can find the linked file path in two places, if I edit this path and save the file (still with .ai extension) I thought the link would change, but when I reopen the file, it does not change. Any ideas?
    If I make an action to relink a file, the action will only place a new file but not replace the old one. I also can't get it to place into a specific layer.
    Any ideas?

    CSS files are plain text with no links, so what you see is all there is.
    In order to apply CSS to HTML, you need a <link> tag in your HTML.
    If you install the Web Developer Extension from the Firefox add-ons site, there is a handy "Edit CSS" sidebar that lets you play with style rules and see the effects live. Note that this pane is not saved, so if you switch tabs, you lose your changes. Make sure to copy out any changes you want to remember.
