"Could not find project's extension manifest file."

I am trying to load the Illustrator SDK sample FreeGridUI. In the documentation supplied by adobe, it says:
1. In the IDE, choose File > Import > Flash Builder > Flash Builder Project.
2. Select "Project folder" and browse to SDK_root\samplecode\FreeGridUI.
3. Click Finish to import the project.
4. Build the project.
When I do that I get an error message that says:
"Could not find project's extension manifest file. Make sure the manifest exists at .staged-extension/CSXS/manifest.xml."
But as you can see from the attached screen shot, the manifest is in that exact location.
Also when I edit the manifest in the "bundle manifest editor" and then close the manifest tab, is asks me if I want to save the manifest. When I choose yes and re-open the manifest... none of my changes have been saved.
Anybody got any ideas?
-Bill

Okay,
I feel stupid, but I also feel like adobe should feel stupid too. Turns out I missed the "." at the beginning of the ".staged-extension" path. But adobe put that folder in their sample without the "." in front. So much for a "working sample." Anyway, I dropped into terminal and did a "mv staged-exnestion .staged-extension" and now all is well. Hope that helps someone. Sorry for crying wolf.

Could not find application that created this file error in Acrobat

What is going on? I have an InDesign file that I want to convert by opening Acrobat and then converting to PDF. I am getting the error "Could not find application that created this file. [file name] Please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer."
I most often use this functionality when I have multiple files of different origins and need to combine them into one document. Now I'm reading the forums and some are saying this functionality is no longer supported by Acrobat. Pardon my language, but WTF?!?! This is functionality that is commonly used by me and I can only assume other users. Now you have two Adobe products that won't communicate? If so, then all the hoopla stating how great the Adobe suite is should be edited. I have never seen these products take such a step backward!
Sorry for the rant, but I find this to be ridiculous. What is the workaround, besides converting every document to PDF inside its own software and then combing the PDFs?

InDesign uses a different method of making PDF files when you use the File->Export option in InDesign (even with Acrobat installed, it uses an internal copy of the PDF Library engine). As such, the two applications do not communicate directly with each other.
Support for driving the PDF conversion process from within Acrobat has been removed from Acrobat X, beacuse with the new features in InDesign CS4+, Acrobat doesn't have access to the settings it needs to control things such as multimedia, spreads and transitions. ID CS5 divides PDFs into two concepts - "print" and "interactive", neither of which match the presets used by Distiller. Creating PDFs from InDesign files must therefore take place from within InDesign itself.

Could not find the fields in Flat file, But able to see the fields in receiver Communcication channel

Hi All,
My scenario is Proxy to file, After testing my scenario the flatfile is getting generated without any errors.
I can able to see all the fields in receiver communication channel payload. But some fields are missing in flatfile which is generated after conversion.
This is my structure below
Record
---Header
      a
      b
      e
      g
---Trailer
      c
      d
---Details
      e
      f
And here is my content conversion below
Header.fieldFixedLengths   2,4,6,7
Header.endSeparator         'nl'
Trailer.fieldFixedLengths     3,5
Trailer.endSeparator           'nl'
Details.fieldFixedLengths    6,7
Details.endSeparator          'nl'
Actually in header there are nearly 34 fields, I can able to see all the 34 fields in reciever CC, But in generated flat file I can able to see only first 30 fields remaing 4 are missing in flat file.
it is like in the above structure In Header there are a,b,e,g fields.I am getting a, b fields e and f are missing in flatfile.
Thanks in advance.
Please suggest me the solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Satish

Hi Satish
As you said 4 fields values are missing out of 34. Are those fields values are coming as blank in the file or not at all coming.
Ex:
you have 4 fields a,b,e,g and in channels you have defined length as 2,4,6,7
If values for fields a,b,e,g are coming as 1,22,33,44444 respectively then the flat file is generated as
1-22--33----4444--- (Consider - as space here)
Now if you say e and g value then is the flat file generated as
1-22---------------
or
1-22--

MakeOTF Error: could not find FontName in FontDict

I am trying to convert a symbol font I constructed and have been using in PostScript programs to OpenType. I have included a cut-down version (only two characters) in this message.
When I try to convert the (cut-down) font with MakeOTF I get the message:

Hi John;
The FontDict is correctly constructed. The problem is that this is a Type 3 PostScript font, where the glyph outlines are described by regular Postscript drawing operators, like Adobe Illustrator graphics, rather than by Type 1 binary operators. MakeOTF only supports glyph outline data in the Type 1 or CFF formats. In order to use makeotf with yourfont, you will need to convert it to Type 1.
If you have Adobe Illustrator sources for the glyph outlines, then you can get these into FontLab, and then use FontLab to make Type 1 font. If you are good at scripting, you could also edit this text representation into the representation created by the FDK 'detype1' program, and then use the 'type1' program to compile this into a Type 1 font. To see the text format used by 'type', just run the 'detype1' program on any Type 1 font file. You can use the 'tx' program to extract a Type 1 font from any OTF or TTF font.
An example of how you can use the FDK command-line tools for this kind of operation:.
# Extract a Type 1 font file from an OTF font
tx -t1 <source OTF font file name> <new Type 1 font file name>
# Convert Type 1 font to a human-editable text representation
detype1 <Type1 font file name> <new text file name>
#do manual edits on the <new text file name>
#compile text file back into a Type 1 font
type1 <old text file name> < new Type1 font file name>
#convert Type 1 font to CFF
tx -cff <Type1 font file name> < new CFF font file name>
#Finally, stick the new CFF font data back into the original OTF font
sfntedit -a "CFF"=< CFF font file name> <source OTF font file name>
Note that the last works only if you did not change glyph order, as many OTF tables references glyphs by glyph ID.

The manifest file "could not find the main class."

The main class file is inside a folder in the created Jar file, but is not in a package. But when I double-click the Jar file, it says it could not find the main class. I am using Windows. I have tried each of the following lines in the manifest, but none are working:
Main-Class: Installer
Main-Class: setupFiles/programFile/Installer
Main-Class: setupFiles\programFile\Installer
Main-Class: setupFiles.programFile.InstallerThe main class is inside the setupFiles/programFile directory. Please Help!
Thanks in advance,
~ Tom

Hi Tom,
The main class file is inside a folder in the created
Jar file, but is not in a package. This is the problem. A JAR file is not an arbitrary ZIP file, where you can arrange directories as you like. The structure of a JAR file always has to follow the package structure. So your Installer class must be on the top level and not in directory setupFiles/programFile.
You might add non-class files in other directores and can access them as resources, but you have to put the class files into their "natural" directories.

JAR file: could not find the main class.

I have been working with Java satisfactorily for about two years.
Installed a bigger hard disk.
Installed Windows XP.
Downloaded java.
Downloaded java jdk 1.6.0_07
Downloaded java3d 1.5.2
Downloaded Eclipse Ganymede.
A new project, a new class with an existing and working java file. It did function in eclipse.
Generated a jar file with:
Export \ JAR FILE \ select files and the destination for the Jar file .....
... next...next filled the field Main Class
This generates the jar files, which have worked before.
And now the error: could not find the main class.
Thand you for your help.

Executing a jar file means it will not read from the CLASSPATH environment variable. I learnt this the hard way a few weeks ago and I had to resort to different measures to work around it.
Your problem does sound weird, but check that the last line in your manifest file is a new line. If it's not, the manifest is not read and parsed correctly.
To test, do this: remove everything from the manifest that you don't need, except the Manifest-Version and Main-Class attributes. Make sure the last line is a new line, and see if it works.
Cheers

Jar file error: could not find main class. program will exit

I have created a jar file using following command
jar cfm MyProj.jar Manifest.txt richa\*.class
and I have included main class header in the Manifest.txt. The executable jar file is created but when I double click on it, it prompts an error Could not find the main class. program will exit.
Please help. Its urgent..
Thanks in advance

This simply state that jvm was unable to fine Main Class file.
I hope you have configured manifest file including your main file information and class path used by the project with proper package hierarchy,

Error when deleting file: Could not find this item. This is no longer located in ...

We are setting up a new Windows 2012 server. Users access this server using a 'terminal services'. We have mapped some folders from a legacy server (different domain). Using group policy preferences, we map this folder as a drive for a user.
When user wants to delete some files, he get's the error: 'Could not find this item ..' The error is displayed to the user and it looks like the file can't be deleted. But when I press the F5 (refresh) button, the file is gone. My problem is very similar
to a problem in the following post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/042e747a-0e25-4190-b0a2-82f3e9635eb0/can-not-delete-file-error-is-could-not-find-this-item?forum=w7itprogeneral
When I create 'txt' (or 'pdf', 'zip') file, i can delete it without the error. When I create 'xlsx', 'docx', 'pptx', 'bmp', 'jpg', I get the error.
Does somebody have an idea, how can I fix the cause of this problem? (I can't tell to users to hit the F5 button everytime when they face this issue)
Thank you for your help in advance!

Can not delete file. Error is "Could not find this item".

I get the following error when trying to delete a file: "Item not found". This is a Word 2007 document that would not save properly so I saved it with a different name. Now I can't delete the original file.
The body of the error states "Could not find this item. This is no longer located in... . Verify the item's location and try again.

Hi,
I'm having exact the same problem with a file with a long name, to delete, move, rename, attribute change, etc. I deleted the file, which I receive the confirmation. However, the file is still there, with zero bytes and no extension. When I try
to delet, move or change the file, I get the error "Could not find this item, This is no longer located in xxx. Verify the item's location and try again."
I tryed everything: Using DOS, there's no 8.3 name format; In safe mode; chkdsk and sfc. Nothing worked.
I also tryed the tricks in http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/27924-could-not-find-item-when-deleting-files-3.html

Thank you very much.
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou......... We are almost bald tearing our hair out over this issue and how to fix it. Delin File WORKS...... At the cost of about 28 bucks well worth it.............. Good onya mate............

Executable JAR file: Could not find the main class.

Hello,
I have a problem with making an executable JAR file.
I have written a JAVA program that consists of five different classes of which User.java is the main class and I have saved a text document with Main-Class: User and a blank line after that.
If I try:
jar cmf MainClass.txt User.jar User.class Beheerder.class Operator.class Manager.class MaakVisueelSchema.class
it makes a executable jar file which actually works! :)
But when the Operator class trys to open the MaakVisueelSchema class the screen stays blank.
I can run MaakVisueelSchema with java MaakVisueelSchema.
So I tried to make an executable JAR that consists only of MaakVisueelSchema, the same way as I did for User:
Main-Class: MaakVisueelSchema
jar cmf MainClass.txt MaakVisueelSchema.jar MaakVisueelSchema.class
Then I get the error message:
Could not find the main class. Program will exit.
from the Java Virtual Machine Launcher.
The big difference between MaakVisueelSchema and the other classes is that MaakVisueelSchema contains a PaintComponent method and an ComponentListener. Is it possible that one of those creates the error?
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Bye!

Yes,
I tried:
jar xvf MaakVisueelSchema.jar
and it returns:
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
MaakVisueelSchema.classN/G. You need to manually create a manifest file in a text editor, have it point to your main class, and enter it in your jar command as an argument.

Jar file could not find main class.. I cant see why?

I have read loads of tutorials on this and it should be very straight forward but i STILL cant make a working jar file of my program.. please see if you can see anything wrong with what im doing..
my program is one .java file that compiles perfectly, and is runnable both through eclipse and by using the command prompt.. i made a jar file using both eclipse and the command prompt, and neither worked.. every time i run it by double clicking it i get the error "could not find main class, program will exit". here is the contents of my jar:
CorePackage\IPEmailer.class
CorePackage\IPEmailer$1.class
CorePackage\IPEmailer$SMTPAuthenticator.class
META-INF\MANIFEST.MF
the MANIFEST.MF file contains:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Class-path: .
Created-By: 1.6.0_02 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: CorePackage.IPEmailer
(yes there is a blank line at the end)
the class mentioned in 'Main-Class' has a main method that looks like this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    new IPEmailer();
}the program uses 2 external jar files:
activation.jar
mail.jar
and reads a file called:
ipemailer.ini
and writes a file called:
ip.txt
the program has no GUI and is intended to run 'silently' in the background
please help me understand what is wrong with this

package CorePackage;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.Authenticator;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

     Thread t = new Thread(this);
     public static void main(String[] args) {

          new IPEmailer();
     public IPEmailer(){
                     ..........etccould the problem be that the class is a thread? i cant see why it would be, but ive never made a jar where the main class also 'implements runnable'

Trouble creating a pdf converting Word doc ..."Could not find the application that created the file"

Hello,
I am working with Acrobat Pro 8 and am trying to create a pdf by converting a word doc. When I try that, I keep getting an error message, " Could not find the application that created this file...please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer." I can always convert a word into pdf first and then insert it into the pdf project that I am working on, however I have multiple files and I really would like to bypass that long step.
I found another thread in this forum which talks about a simillar issue (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/429585).I tried the solution suggested there by Bill@vt regarding the print menu. I am not really sure if t have distiller installed, so I tried opening it in acrobat, but it failed. During the process, I got the follwing message "Check the Status column for a list of files that could not be printed".I do not have any clue how to check for AcroTray running in the background.
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks!

If Distiller failed to open, it sounds like you need to do a repair of your Acrobat installation. Have not heard that one before!

Error: Could not find the file "flash.ocx"

I have been receiving the error COULD NOT FIND THE FILE
"FLASH.OCX" for the past couple of months - I have been watching
the message boards and have seen a lot of "fixes" and beta's come
up errors (not sure that it's this exact error though).
I get this error continuously throughout the day - no matter
if I have nothing running on my computer or I have 10 things open.
This morning it occurred to me that my screen saver is not coming
on and it seems to me that the above errror is popping up everytime
my screen saver should start. I HAVE TIMED THIS TODAY AND CHANGED
HOW LONG BEFORE MY SCREEN SAVER STARTS - AND IT IS DEFINITELY
GETTING THE ERROR EVERYTIME THE SCREEN SAVER IS TRYING TO START.
Last week, I deleted the version of Flash that I had and then
re-installed; still getting the error.
I was getting the error when I had IE6 so I thought maybe
switching to IE7 would correct it - but it didn't (that was a few
weeks ago).
My computer does not freeze up but it is SOOO annoying to
continually throughout the day get this error.

PLEASE HELP!

Ah-ah! The workaround is to map my network folder to a drive, say... M:\
So, when I select Edit->Edit in Audition->Sequence, I can select the Browse button to alter the Path destination. Instead of seeing '\\Zeus\Projects\...', I select the mapped M: drive so the path reads 'M:\Projects\...' instead.
Then, Audition loads and is able to find the sequence or clip.
So... that solves my problem!

I am attempting to update from iMovie 9 to iMovie 10. I have many movies with iMovie 9. Yet, on iMovie 10, when I press "update projects and events", it states "iMovie could not find any projects or events to update". Somehow it doesnt' see all the movies I have on iMovie 9 library. What do I do?

I'm dealing with this same issue. At one point, it did recognize the Update function but then said it could not import the cache.mov and plist files which apparently means that imovie 10 can't see any of these past events. I can't figure it out.

Edge Animate could not find the associated html file

Hey everybody,
I made several projects using Edge Animate 1.0, all of them worked perfectly. But now I need to make some changes, and several of them are displaying an error saying that could not find the html file associated with the project, even though the file is right at the same folder. I opened the .an file in a text editor and checked that the HTMLFileName attribute is pointing to the correct file. I'm attaching a print screen of the error.
If anyone has any idea of what is causing it, and how to solve it, it would be greatly appreciated, as I had no luck in anything I tried to do, and need to edit these files as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance!

Have somebody found a solution for this?
I have the same problem with a little added twist.
The project is located on Creative Cloud.
.an file opens form one computer and gives this error message while being opened from another.
This question is being asked by the community for a while with no solution.
Could somebody from Adobe read this and post the solution?
Thanks
