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.

I can't open RAW files from new Sony Alpha a6000 camera in PSE 11 camera raw editor. Is there an update that will allow me to do this or do I need to always use DNG convertor?

You would need to update to PSE 12, or just keep using the DNG converter. Your camera requires ACR 8.4, which isn't compatible with PSE 11. It's also not compatible with PSE 12 if you are running Vista or XP.

How can I open PDF files? The usual procedures don't work for me. Thanks.

How can I open PDF files? Until a couple of months ago, I had no problem. Now I can open none of them. I have Adobe Reader X. Yesterday I uninstalled Adobe X, restarted the computer, and then reinstalled Adobe X. No success. Thanks.

What happens if you open Reader first then use File>Open like Bernd suggested?
Are you sure you are opening them in Reader and not a text editor or MS Word? I ask because Reader will not prompt you for a language.

..(for exmple to open a .txt file in text editor or notepad automatically by clicking on a button);Earlier you mention 'open a file in jre', which implies maybe using a JEditorPane or similar to load the file contents into a JVM. Since the system generic 'text editor' and specifically 'notepad' are not embeddable in anything that can be put in a Java GUI, I am now confused as to whether you want to load the file within a Java based GUI or not. Which is it?

People on forums do not generally take kindly to being told what to do, so it is better to turn commands like that into requests. The way to do that can be as easy as adding 'please' at the start of the command.

Can't open the file,AGAIN!CRAZY!!

Days before,i can't open a file.Later,with the help from KOENIG,i got the quicklook of it.So i typed the file again,BUT,to the place as before,again,i can't open it !!!! What's wrong ?? Is it a bug of my Pages or something else?

A bug is a bug! reinstalling will not kill it
and ,give me your "autosave",please,show me the interlink.
Go to my iDisk:

Download:
For_iWork:iWork '09:autoSave_iWork.zip
Install the script entitled:

Tired to press cmd + S ?
to autosave iWork's documents
paste this script in the Script Editor
menu > File > Save As…
uncheck screen at startup
check "Stay Open" (* "Rester en arrière-plan" in French *)
save this script as an Application Bundle
Install it as one of the applications launched at boot_time
from the Accounts PreferencePane (tab Login Items)
Every ten minutes, if Pages, Keynote or Numbers is in use,
the open documents would be saved.
If a document was never saved before,
the "Save" dialog will ask a name to save it.
For enhanced safe, a zipped copy of each document is also created
In fact, the file entitled: autosave&zip4iWork.app
is ready to install.
I made a bit of surgery so that you will not get its icon in the Dock.
If you want to look at what it does, look in autosave&zip4iWork.applescript.
At this time, I'm busy on a script extracting the text from an Index.file when Pages is unable to decipher it and the pdf is not embedded.

To add meta tags, you open your published .html pages with TextEdit or any other text editor and modify as required. You have to do redo it each time you republish. Ihow do I do this? I need step by step instructions

To add meta tags, you open your published .html pages with TextEdit or any other text editor and modify as required. You have to do redo it each time you republish. I need step by step instructions on how to accomplish this please .

Rage Sitemap Automator and iWeb SEO Tool are two different applications.
Use SEO Tool to add the title tag and meta description. These need to be added to the html file for every page of your website. SEO Tool stores all these so that when you republish you only need to add tags to any new pages and click the re-apply button to refresh the existing ones.
Once you have added. refreshe the tags with iWeb SEO Tool and uploaded the files with your FTP application, then open the site in Sitemap Automator and create and upload a new sitemap.
Once you have set up accounts with Google, Yahoo and Bing, verified your site with each and submitted a sitemap, on subsequent publishing Sitemap Automator will resubmit the sitemap with one button click. It will also notify Ask.com whch doesn't require an account since you can add your domain name to this URL to ping them...

Error while opening pdf in reader in windows 8:Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format

I have a problem with a pdf file which does not open with reader in windows 8 but it opens properly with adobe pdf reader. All other pdf can be opened in reader.But when i open a pdf(see this link for pdf for which i got error http://incometaxsoft.com/temp/Form.pdf)
it gives error as "Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format".
The same file opens properly in adobe pdf reader.You can check the pdf file which i have mentioned in the link above.But the reader which comes with windows 8 can open some other pdf in the same PC.What may be the error causing this??

This has turned out to be an enormous issue for me as I sell PDF files as ebooks. I have done a fair amount of investigating this for my system.
My files have to be compatible not just across readers but across operating systems.
To date, I have over 200 PDFs that have functioned flawlessly across Mac, PC (Windows 7 and below), Android, iPhone/iPad, Linux.
I personally test my PDFs using a variety of readers and PDF editors including
PDF XChange (my favorite)
Foxit (runner up for me and I recommend for most people)
Adobe (the bloated monster)
Nitro 9 (great for moving graphical elements around)
ABBYY
And the Nuance PDF Create toolsets
Those are off the top of my head. There are a bunch on Android that I test with too.
I am running the Windows 10 Pro Tech Preview and I have this same problem so I know it isn't fixed yet in any kind of pre-release way (-sigh-)
Here is what I've learned for my situation
The PDFs I created using NUANCE'S PDF CREATE PROFESSIONAL VERSION 8
all fail using the built-in Windows 8/10 PDF reader.
When I look at the PDF properties for these Nuance created files, the underlying engine used to write them is called "ImageToPDF". Using ABBYY it indicates their own engine as does everyone else that I've tried. It is easy for you to check to see
what created your PDF by doing a "Control D" (look at the document properties). Perhaps there's a common engine causing issues.
If I use the exact same source files to create a PDF using any of my other tools I have no issues. I checked the PDF versions made by the tools and they are all set to 1.5.
A customer mentioned being able to convert them in a way they worked by saving them without having to do any kind of extraction, but I have not been able to duplicate that. Perhaps he did a "print" which seems like it could work.
In summary, the workaround everyone is talking about, using an alternate reader, of course works. But not everyone wants to change.
The culprit I have found is my Nuance PDF Creation tools that are using the ImageToPDF engine.
I hope it gets FIXED as I really don't want to have to regenerate all of my PDF files.

Can't open old files in Pages. Don't want to upgrade. Help please

I am happy with my old Pages program ... some files I created on the old Pages open fine, as normal. However, some files I created on the
old Pages (created in Dec. 2013) will not open. I get a pop up from Apple saying that I have to upgrade.
I would be delighted to upgrade and pay the $20 but I read horrible reviews about the new Pages upgrade. So I would like to stick with my old
Pages but how can I open these files that are closed to me unless I purchase the new upgrade. Inexplicably, I can open some files that I created this month on the old pages. But some will not open.
Is there a trick to opening these Pages files ?
Or should I go ahead and get the new download and take a chance. I only mix text with photos ... no footnotes.
Please help. Many thanks ..

Hi Jerry ... you were absolutely correct ... I must have downloaded the new version since I found Pages-Applications in Spotlight. Then I dragged it from Application to the dock where it now sits next to my old Pages. I tried to open up my file but still could not. How can I export it back to Word 09 (my old Pages) if I cannot open it. And this file will not open now, even when I have my new Pages in the dock. Or should I just give up on opening this file.
Also, I think I prefer the old Pages (Word 09) ... how can I make sure that I am creating documents in this program. I assume that I can keep it and continue to work with that. I guess the only way to prevent this from happening again is to check if I am using the old Pages before I start a document ??
Many thanks again, Don

I can not open raw files in elements 12 any help please?

I can not open raw files from my Nikon D610 in elements 12. (I have already downloaded raw converter 8.3 but to no avail) any help please would be appreciated.

Hi,
Can you confirm which Camera Raw PSE 12 is actually using by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Plug-in -> Camera Raw.
If you do Help -> Updates it may install the latest camera raw of 8.4 - not on XP or Vista systems.
Do you use any Nikon software to download the images? The older versions have been known to corrupt the files.
See the following for more info.

Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins

Suddenly can't open .eps files in FW8

Hi all-
I suddenly can't open .eps files in FW8. Starts to open and then says "Internal error occurred" Text tool is also acting up. I think it may be related to one of the extensions I downloaded from the Adobe Exchange. Or, maybe it was something I did. Probably the latter. Either way, it seems like my FW8 has gotten corrupted. Ran spyware, adware, defrag, and virus scans. Even talked nice to my computer, but nothing has worked. I looked for patches or downloads on Adobe's site but there are none for FW8.
Anyway, I'm guessing my only option is to reinstall, unless someone out there has a better idea. If I do reinstall, does it erase everything? Meaning, will I lose all extensions and all the settings?
Thanks for your help!

Using Win XP Media center edition v 5.1 Service Pack 3. Been too afraid to upgrade to Vista. Probably about time to upgrade my FW.
I searched my entire machine for that file, both by file name and by all .txt files and could not find a "Preferences" file anywhere. Here's what came up under the FW directory path:
Thanks for your help, Heathrowe!

Can you open freehand files in CS6?

can you open freehand files in CS6? I have been using both illustrator & freehand for 15 years & have thousands of work files being freehand.
It seems very disappointing to have to keep an old version of illustrator just to open these files. I also find it interesting that many of the key tools that freehand had over illustrator are not translated into the newer versions of illustrator. Something simple like you still can't have a unique picture bullet • before text in illustrator. In freehand you could cut & paste any graphic into the text you were designing.

No. The conversion plugin didn't make it into CS6 so the last import function was CS5.5
It seems very disappointing to have to keep an old version of illustrator just to open these files.
At this point, it is the only way to make your files convert into Illustrator although I've had some luck with exporting to EPS or (if your FH graphics are simple enough) save as AI format. Keep your eyes on this project however : http://www.stagestack.com/

As a fellow FreeHand user, I couldn't agree more. Other users of both programs have said this endlessly over the years here. A litany of features are still m.i.a. since FHMX was acquired years ago... including inline graphics. It's almost comical.

Can't open RAW files from a Canon 70D

Can't open RAW files from a Canon 70D with Photoshop Elements 12. Is there an upgrade / download available. Current RAW plug in is version 8.0.0.137

What operating system are you using?
The newest version of camera raw for pse 12 is version 8.4, which should open the canon 70D files.
Have you tried Help>Updates from within the pse 12 editor?

I can't open pdf files. The popup window says to install adobe but when I download adobe it says I already have it

I can't open pdf files.

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

I can't open the file in word because it is corrupt and cannot be opened, what can i do?

I had a Word .doc that became corrupted while SpellChecking an entire vintage book that had been OCRed. Crashed every time I opened it in Word. I was able to open, strip off the Word Header & Footer (invisible), spell check and save as a plain text file with TextWrangler - BBEdit's Baby Brother > http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/ - no Word-ish formatting, but the data was there in total.
