Can you open an existing illustrator file with the application default settings?

I need to open a customers illustrator files that he sends me with the default application settings, not the setting he saved with his file.

CS6 (Mac) but soon CC.
What is happening is they are saving the files with among other things, print scaling set to something other than 100%. If one of our operators does not catch it, the plate files are ripped at a smaller size than what they should be.
This customer does thier own production work and sends us "plate ready" files but sometimes forgets to change this setting back to 100% (he changes the scaling to something that will fit on a letter size page so he can check his separations).
I seem to recall (from years ago), there was a way to open a file using the applications default settings, not the settings saved within the file itself.

    That was not the focus of the update. Unless a developer develops such an App, there's nothing else to talk about.

  • 10.5.5 Can't open previously created Illustrator files!!

    I've recently updated to 10.5.5 and now I can't open previously created Illustrator files, prior to the update, I had no problems. I get the error message- can't open the illustration with an OK box which, when clicked, opens the document in preview mode, but I can't do anything with the document!
    Anyone else have this problem?

    That implies that you didn't preserve a bootable backup/clone as strongly suggested in

    Without one of those, your only solution is to try an Archive & Install installation.

  • Email attachments: whenever someone sends me a file the Ipad labels it winmail.dat and wont allow me to open it...these are Word, Exce or jpgs.  Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it?  Also, how can you save attachments to a file on the IPad2

    Is this a particular sender, or all of your attchments?  Google winmail.dat and you will see a number of returns that can explain this, but in short, this is the way some e mail providers deal with attachments.  If all of your e mail is coming that way, you need to change a setting on your isp set up.  Perhaps stary here...

    On iPad, can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages application?  If so how do I perform this activity?

    Yes you can open Word files. If it is an email attachment you can simply tap and hold down on the icon and select "open in" and then select Pages - as long as you have the Pages app on the iPad.
    Where is the file on your iPad or how do you want to move it to the iPad?

    I have had to erase my disk since then with trouble with Apple Store not recognising my machine and the reload from Time Machine has given complications . Can you please cancel my trial and return my Trial money.

    If you paid for what you used then it was not a trial.

    If you are using airplay then that should be fine once the content is playing. You can't use home-sharing in this manner however.

  • Can I open Indesign 2.0 files with cs6 or the newest version of cc?

    I want to buy either cs6 or the newest version of cc.  I just need to know if I can open InDesign 2.0 files with either of these newer versions?

    In theory, yes, but it's hard to predict what's going to happen with that big a gap in versions. I suggest you download a trial and give it a test, and if the file opens, the very first thing you should do is save as .idml. then open that and save as a new .indd without overwriting the original.

  • Create a dir if there exists a file with the same name

    Hi..
    I want to create a directory with file.mkdir(). But I recognize a problem when there is allready a File with the same name.
    Is there any solution to handle a dir and a file with the same name?
    eg: Dir "C:\Windows" and File "C:\Windows"
    wami

    This explains it... use "java Test2 asdsfd" for example. While this example doesn't show it,
    if you try to create a dir with another slash on it c:\blah\ , it still can't be done.
    import java.io.*;
    public class Test2
    public static void main (String args[]) throws Exception
         if (args.length < 1){
         System.out.println("Test2 [name]");
         System.out.println("creating bogus file " +args[0]);
         FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(args[0]);
         fo.write(55);
         fo.write(55);
         fo.write(55);
         fo.close();
         File x = new File(args[0]);
         if (x.mkdir()) System.out.println("made dir " + args[0]);
         else System.out.println("failed to make dir " + args[0]);
         System.out.println("deleting file " + args[0]);
         x.delete();
         if (x.mkdir()) System.out.println("made dir " + args[0]);
         else System.out.println("failed to make dir " + args[0] + " again !");
    }

  • Can you have multiple bleed allowances (along with the multiple page sizes) in InDesign CS5?

    Hi there,
    I'm new to InDesign and have a question about documents with mixed page sizes in CS5.  I'm preparing an illustrated book for print and was hoping to be able to contain all the pages (including the covers) in one document.  My basic setup is 140 mm x 210 mm with a 3 mm bleed on each side.  I've managed to add the different cover page (146 mm x 216 mm) and spine (10 mm) dimensions easily enough, but can you have multiple bleed specifications too?  The bleed allowance I need for the case layout is 15 mm.  I've scoured InDesign and the net, but can't find any information about this anywhere.  It would seem rather silly to be able to have multiple page sizes in your document without being able to change the bleed allowance too.  Here's hoping it's possible!  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. 
    Thank you!
    Alexandria

    make sure what your printer means ie: Page size + 6mm spine bulk + 15mm bleed.
    and design acordingly
