Corrupt file when opened in Ai

I have a problem with a file that appears to be corrupt and not rendering correctly when brought into Illustrator.
When It was last synced it appeared in CC as below with no thumbnail version.
When emailed and opened in Acrobat the file renders correctly.
However when the PDF is opened in Ai the fill for the branches is not correct.
Outline view shows that this is not an errant fill problem and that the detail is not retreivable.
When opened from the .idea in Illustrator file it renders as below
Outline view shows only a few branches and some artifacts where they should be
As does highlighting the branch layer
The file appears to be correct on my iPhone and I have synced several times in case it was corrupted in the sending but it has not rectified this problem.
Device: iPhone 5 model MD297X/A iOS 7.0 (11A4449a)
Software: Adobe Ideas v2.7

The file does not look to be corrupt on the Ideas side. However, your .idea file does have several paths that have a very large number of points. You may be experiencing either a predefined limit in Illustrator or simply a bug in the Ideas import plug-in for Illustrator. We will follow up with the Illustrator team to verify.
In the meantime, I have tried to work around the issue by exporting the problematic layer as an image, opened that image in Illustrator, and performed "Live Trace" on it. Then, I recombined it with the other layers. I have shared the .ai file on my Creative Cloud account to you in a separate email.
Hope that helps,

  • Can't save 24 x 36 ai version 9 file when opened in CS6

    Can’t save 24 x 36 ai version 9 file when opened in CS6, even when opened as an outline format. I was able to save the file when reduced to 8 x 11, once saved I  resized it back to 24 x 36 but it still didn’t work. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

    Sorry to have taken up your time, I have figured it out.  I have about 50 layers and one was bad, process of elimination, I deleted one by one till I found the layer that was causing it to fail.  Files I had converted from .DWG to AI coused an error

  • Any solutions for lost render/preview files when opening files?s

    Have any solutions been found for the intermittent lost render/preview files when opening a large file? I have Premiere CS6. A large project file that I have been working on lately opened without a hitch with previews intact ...until I bought new faster hard drives and rebuilt the computer (built with the same drive letters). I just installed the latest updates. When I now open this file, a segment of the sequence always opens without previews, unrendered, no matter how many times I rendered the file previously. I don't use 3rd party plugins. I am using the warp stabilizer. I tried all the suggestions that I have found on the forums (using a blank sequence to close and open, unchecking “write XMD…” etc.) but none work. I checked the render/preview drive, and these files are on that drive but they will no longer link to the project. It now takes a good 15 minutes to re-render every time I open.

    I may have found a solution. I took out the warp stabilizer, and then added it back in on the clips in question, and then re-analysed and re-rendered. So far, so good. It seems that bringing in the warp stabilizer effect in the file into the re-built computer needed re-analysing (as I do after this 2 day exercise.)

  • Sort order of files when opening a document within a program

    When opening Explorer, files are correctly sorted in alphabetical order.
    When opening a document (say within Word), if I search a folder then the files/folders are in a strange sort order - something like last used or modified. I don't know how this happened. I want them sorted alphabetically like in Explorer.
    What do I need to do? I'm fed up of having to sort every folder each time I open it within a program.

    > Is there a way to change the way DW sorts the dirs and

    have you expanded the Files Panel, made the sort by clicking
    on the
    headings, then collapsed it?

    Not sure but maybe some exotic compression? Where did you get
    that TIFFs
    and how they were prepared?

  • Passing a parameter to an Excel file when opening it

    I would like to know if it is possible to pass a parameter to an Excel file when calling that file from within another Excel file using VBA. I am using the 2007 version. An example of what I would like to do is what we use to do with DOS programs and command
    line parameters. I would like to have the Excel file I just opened do something depending on the parameter passed to it and then close.
    Might be an easy question but I'm stumped. Any ideas?

    Step.1 Create a macro-enabled workbook
    Step.2 Open the workbook, and open the VBA, insert a moudle, copy and paste the following code sample in the module
    Option Base 0
    Option Explicit
    Declare Function GetCommandLine Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetCommandLineW" () As Long
    Declare Function lstrlenW Lib "kernel32" (ByVal lpString As Long) As Long
    Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib "kernel32" Alias "RtlMoveMemory" (MyDest As Any, MySource As Any, ByVal MySize As Long)
    Function CmdToSTr(Cmd As Long) As String
    Dim Buffer() As Byte
    Dim StrLen As Long
    If Cmd Then
    StrLen = lstrlenW(Cmd) * 2
    If StrLen Then
    ReDim Buffer(0 To (StrLen - 1)) As Byte
    CopyMemory Buffer(0), ByVal Cmd, StrLen
    CmdToSTr = Buffer
    End If
    End If
    End Function
    Step.4 Copy and paste the following code sample into ThisWorkbook
    Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Dim CmdRaw As Long
    Dim CmdLine As String
    Dim myParam As String
    CmdRaw = GetCommandLine
    CmdLine = CmdToSTr(CmdRaw)
    myParam = Right(CmdLine, 6)
    MsgBox myParam
    End Sub
    Step.4 Sign your code or modify the macro security settings to allow the macro to run automatically
    Step.5 Save and close the workbook
    Step.6 Run command line with the parameter, for example:
    Excel "Server\ShareFolder\TheWorkbook.xlsm" /e/myParam
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    The code sample above will pass the last 6 characters (modify the code if you need more or less) to the workbook
    The workbook will display a message box to display the parameter we passed from the command line, add the other function as you need
    The code sample refers to the reply from Air_Cooled_Nut in

  • Makes Duplicate Of File When Opening Pictures On A PC

    I have photos and an external hard drive. When I either select the photos in the library and drag them to the desktop, or select the photos and do an export it does export the files to the external hard drive. When I open it on the mac there is only 1 of each file there. When I plug it into the PC and view the folder with the files in it there is a duplicate of each. The weird thing though is for example if I have a file named picture1.jpg it has that in there but also creates a ._picture1.jpg
    What does it create that duplicate file with the ._ before it?
    When I plug it back into the mac that ._ file is not there.

    Mac OS stores "resource forks" (icons) in image files but PC users get two files when they are shared via HD, CD and even when using a PC to view the contents of any Mac directory on a PC.
    My simple fix is to "delete" the resource fork prior to sharing with PC users so they don't get confused.
    CMM's can do this with a right click prior to sharing and most image apps can also delete that resource fork file.
    Mac Mail app allows the "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" which also removes the resource fork file so viewers are not confused.

  • Corrupt file when Downloading iTunes+Quicktime

    Im on my sisters laptop and when I try to install iTunes, it says there is a corrupt file. Im sorry if someone else has had this problem and Im just repeating it. But, she has had iTunes before, but had her pc wiped out. Could that have something to do with it? And is anyone else having this problem

    There is a very comprehensive post on the subject at this link: "What to do if Windows displays an "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" message" http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1726580#1726580

  • Stop Excel changing a file when opened

    Is there a way to stop Excel (and possibly Word too) changing the Excel file when you open it, and then close it without saving. 
    Excel updates the last opened date, and does not change the update date. Like this: http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php/oddity/who_last_opened_that_file/
    I do not want this to occur as I have a sync'ing system which creates unessisary noise, and it also causes sync issues and merge conflicts for changes that are not changes. 
    Can you turn it off?

    Hello ,
    Thank you for your question.
    I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue.

  • Photoshop Corrupting Files When Rendering Gradients

    Hello there, I'm a first time poster, with a long time problem.
    My Photoshop is corrupting files in a very destructive fashion, and it seems to be tied to the live rendering of gradients. Not just blur filters, as in this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/751036?start=200&tstart=0) but opacity adjustments in layers, and hue/brightness shifts. This happens usually in files with large dimensions, but not necessarily complicated layer structures.
    This type of corruption, which renders blocks, tesselated shapes, or inverts/fills odd layers, seems to be a problem for multiple users, but I haven't seen a solution.
    I think I may be the first person to link it directly to the live rendering of gradients- rather than just the blur filters. Anything that has to render a gradated shift across the image seems to be the culprit. Usualy starting as a solid, and ending as a transparent. However, simply adjust hue/brightness over an opaque layer will make the corruption happen as well. Which leads me to believe that this corruption is caused by live on screen rendering of gradient shifts.
    Does anyone have any further thoughts or potential solutions?
    Here are my specs:
    CS6 13.0.4 x 64
    Mac OSX v.10.7.5
    3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    12 GB 1066 MHz DDR3

  • PM 7.0 SP2  Pagemaker Corrupts files when it opens them

    I work in the IT department at a hospital and the hard drive failed in our Print Shops computer. After reinstalling all the programs I'm having problems with page maker 7.0 whenever I open a document with it (from a networked drive) it corrupts the file and page maker crashes. That user's manager also has page maker and can open the files without a problem (before the first computer corrupts them). We had problems with Xp sp3 and in design/page maker so we have it running Sp2 so that shouldn't be an issue and I have tried reinstalling pagemaker and that didn't help anything. Anyone have any ideas that I can try to get this working correctly?

    I just tried that approach, I copy pasted the file onto the desktop and it did not work, when it opened it just gave me a dialog box telling me that the file was not closed successfully the last time it was used. the file opens fine on another computer we have thats running pagemaker so I do not understand why it is getting this error.
    when i click no, in order to open the last successfully saved version pagemaker opens but its blank, and there is no document to view

  • When I download a PDF file using Adobe I get a black screen when attempting to print and if I save the file I get a corrupted response when opening it.

    This does not always happen, for example if I get a PDF file by email, it appears to be primarilly when I download from the internet.
    I use Adobe Reader X1. Can you assist please. Thanks

    Thanks Eric, no it does not help the matter. I opened the file using preview and the same message appeared. Thanks.

  • "File Corrupt" error when opening Driver software for OfficeJet 4500 G510n-z

    I'm trying to reinstall the software for my OfficeJet 4500 G510n-z printer and I have downloaded the drivers from the HP support site multiple times.  Each time I try to open the file I get an error of "File is Corrupt" and it stops opening.  I was able to eventually install the printer but not the HP Solution Software.
    I am running 64-bit Windows 7.
    As you can see below, I have the printer installed but not the Solution Center.  How can I add the Solution Center?

  • Corrupt files cannot open iphot

    really in trouble, aapllication told me once some files could not be opened, maybe coorupt, then suddenly I could not open I photo at all...i.e. access my pics...what can I do? thanks

    xian1322
    Are you using v7? Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file. If not, then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Corrupts file when saving

    I'm working in 2010 version and saving back to 2003 for those who don't have a more current version. When I finish my edits and save, it all looks fine.  I often put a date filter on it and filter out the 100% complete tasks. If I save it with those
    filters on, and I open the file back up, I'm missing data. There are blank lines. Lines are relocated so the schedule is completely scrambled.  It takes me hours to recreate it. 

    Igash3,
    Do you have SP2 installed for Project 2010? If not, you need to install it because it fixes many version compatibility issues. For users who have Project 2003, it is imperative they have SP3 installed.
    Here's an idea, rather than applying any filters before you save, why not just save as Project 2003 and let the users apply the filter.
    It sounds like your file has become corrupt. That can happen if you are operating between Project versions. You might try saving the Project 2010 file as XML and then re-open in Project 2010 (Note: you will lose any custom formatting).
    Hope this helps.
