Can you open a file without default?

when i go to open a file, it opens with a default program, need to open it without anything, just by itself. It gets really annoying cause i cant find a simple fix. any help?

A .dmg file is a data file, and like other data files, it is not itself "executable" - it requires a separate app to open it when it is double-clicked. In the case of a .dmg file you don't normally notice that separate app because the app resides in the System folder, doesn't appear in the Dock when it runs, and quits automatically when its job of mounting the .dmg disk image is done. It exists, though - its name is DiskImageMounter.app and it is located in the /System/Library/CoreServices folder. If you do a Get Info on a ,dmg file and look at the "Open with" section it should look like this:
If your .dmg files seem to be opening by default in a different app, what is it?

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

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 you open ai files in indesign?

Can you open ai files in indesign?

It's also possible to copy from AI and paste into ID, but for a complete illustration I don't recommend it.

Can you open ID files with any other apps?

I was a subcontractor for a printer. The printer's client requested the production files. I package the files. Five books. Each folder contains ID file, art, supplied word docs, and exported PDF. The client calls printer and says they all open but one. I open it, check it, email it. She calls me this morning to tell me the one file still won't open. I asked her what version of CS she has and she says she doesn't have InDesign. I tell her it's impossible to open ID file without ID. She goes off on me for questioning her, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, can someone tell me if it's possible she somehow opened the other 4 files somehow in some conversion app. The only thing I could think of is if they have QX and used markzware ID2QX plug in from within QX. I'm in the process of repackaging the files so all the ID files, PDFs, Word Docs, Art, Covers are all in separate folders.
For the record, I opened all 5 ID files on my PC before sending to the client so the files aren't corrupt.

My arrangement with this printer is that I surrender production files. Another part of the job was that I have to return LIVE paginated word docs to the client for future editing. In addition, the word docs are in Spanish and the client was very specific about page breaks. Furthermore, even though there are 5 books, I get Spanish word docs from 7 people. The word files come to me formatted. Almost as clean as my ID files would be. So I've been editing the word docs, exporting to PDF and placing those into ID. I paginate and add art to fill in the holes as per sample books provided. So the layout files contain nothing but PDFs and filler art. It was the only way I could think of to give the client back word docs paginated specifically as they were given to me.

Can you create a file without presenter's notes?

Can you create/export a file that won't be able see presenter's notes, either in Keynote or PPT format?

Yes, I can export to pdf without the notes. I was wondering if it was possible to send someone the slides in PPT format without including my presenters' notes.
They are lecture slides for a class, so I am giving my students copies in pdf, but I might want to give them to someone else in a format they can edit and use as slides, but without having my notes to myself in there. I suppose it's not designed for such an option, as far as I can tell, hiding the notes doesn't make a difference if exporting to PPT.

Can you open Photoshop files in InDesign?

Is it possible to open a file which is created by Indesign ?

Hello.
I'm not at my CS6 suite right now. But I would guess PS could not open an ID file in an editable way. You can try saving your ID project out as a PDF, then Photoshop should be able to open it rasterized (if multi-page, each page would become a separate PS document.) But vector and text would be rendered as pixels.

Can't open .htm file without changing to .swf - Suggestions?

My Mom sent me this website embedded in an e-mail:
http://www.oldjoeblack.0nyx.com/thinktst.htm
It is a neat little "test"; the page will open and a blank screen appears, with music only - Safari and Firefox.
I change to .swf and the page loads perfectly.
Had to stumble on the .swf work around. Took a while with Google.
Anyway with Flip 4Mac or something other native can websites like this be automatically defaulted into something my Mac recognizes and then open automatically?
If so, how? Simple instructions appreciated!
Cheers and Thanks!

The website is poorly made. Running it through a validator results in scores of errors.

Can you open a file in PS & run a script from LR?

So one of my commercial clients wants their product files in a variety of formats, including PNG with transparency. I'd love to be able to provide them with this from LR, but you can't export as a PNG. So I've written a script which takes the active document in PS, turns off the relevant layers, converts to sRGB, and saves as a PNG. Is there any way for me to invoke this script from LR, as I am opening the document? Ideally, I'd like to include it in the "Edit in" menu, as a menu item which would invoke PS and run the script. That way I could simply select the images, and get them processing while I do something else. Or do I have to open all the files and then run the script on all the open files?

Images are automatically saved back to the LR library but you need to follow a logical sequence for LR to render the export copy. You need to start the round trip from LR as follows and use the save command (Ctrl+S) not save as:
1) Ctrl+E in the Library to export selected image with develop settings (I choose PSD but tiff is also available in the prefs)
2) Edit in Photoshop; then Ctrl+S to replace (overwrite) Lightroom export copy
3) Ctrl+W to close in Photoshop and update Lightroom thumbnail. The saved copy is usually stacked next to the original so don't worry about XMP.
On Mac OSX Cmd+E; Cmd+S; Cmd+W

Can you open powerpoint files using Gmail?

I read that even if you don't have any application to open a power point file that if you use Gmail that you can open a pp file-?
This seems to good to be true -

You're Welcome susiecat.pat!
As Google's help center did not specify, that the feature was not available for OS X, I was hoping that it would work for you.
But as neoroanatomist has verified, unfortunately that is not the case.
Sorry.
I use NeoOffice, but I must admit, the only feature I use it for is to view PowerPoint slideshows.
I haven't taken the time to learn all of it's other functions, as the application appears quite complicated!
And thanks for the !

Can i open appleworks files without appleworks?

I have two files in Appleworks format that I need to open and read/convert for someone on a PC. I personally don't have Appleworks (they gave it to me because I'm a 'Mac guy'). Is there any way I can open/convert these to Office so I/we can read them? I'm coming up pretty dry search on the Internets and The Google - it seems like a pretty closed format.
Thanks

If it's only a couple, you could send them to me, I'll convert them & send them back. Click my name in blue next to this post. My public e-mail address is in the biography section. Just replace (AT) with @. You'll notice while you are in my profile that I am a nurse, so I do understand confidentiality very well & I've done similar conversions for other users here, too.

Can you open multiple files using an advanced action?

I have either Captivate 5.5 or Captivate 7 to work with. Currently my project is in 5.5.
I have a button that I want to open three PDF files. I created an advanced action, selecting Open a new file/URL and selected the file name. Currently they are set to open in a new window.
When I test the button, only one file opens.
If I set one to open in a new window and another to open in the top window, I lose the course but get two to open.
Is there a way for me to open each of these files in a new window using the same button?

You could do it by executing javascript:
in Captivate: open_win()
add this to the head section of your html page that loads the captivate object:
<script type="text/javascript">
function open_win()
     var url1 =" http://www.google.com";
     var url2 =" http://www.yahoo.com";
     var url3 =" http://www.bing.com";
     window.open(url1);
     window.open(url2);
     window.open(url3);
</script>

Can you open Dreamweaver files created in CS5 in CS4?

Does anyone know if it is possible to backsave a CS5 Dreamweaver file to be compatible with CS4???
Any help is much appreciated!

No conversion is required.
Dreamweaver creates HTML and CSS files which are plain text (readable by humans) and can even be opened in a text editor.
There is no proprietary code or file format like there is in Microsoft Word.

How can I open pdf files without saving?

I use Windows Vista and Firefox browser. Until recently I was able to use the Reader without first saving. I think I may have inadvertently clicked an auto-save option in a dialog window. That window no longer appears when I try to download.

Hi,
Please try following steps:
Open Firefox
Windows: - click on 'Tools' manu > Options and Mac:- Click on 'Firefox' menu > Options
Click 'Applications' tab
from the list, find : Portable Document Format and select 'Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)'
This should solve the problem for you.

Can you open CSV-files with commas?

It seems to me that we have something of a regression in Numbers 2.0 (part of iWork '09) - it (like Excel before it) no longer opens regular CSV-files.
When I use the new Numbers to try to make a CSV-file, it'll actually use semicolons instead of commas, and any of my old CSV-files (like this one: http://d.ooh.dk/misc/postnumre.csv ) (with commas) will load all the values (and the commas) in a single column.
I wonder if it's just me, or perhaps only a problem when using European notation (with comma as the decimal separator)?

At last, Apple adopted the same behavior than Bento 1.
When the decimal separator is the period, it works with standard CSV files.
When the decimal separator is comma, it works with CSV using the semi-colon as item delimiters.
To open your old CSV, set temporarily your system to a region whose decimal separator is period. Given that, Numbers will open them flawlessly.
The ability to chose the separator (as it is now in Bento 2) would have been fine .
