Cs4 document cannot open, blank page

I am using CS4 and I saved my file as .pdf but it showed up blank so I restarted my computer. Now the original .ai file previews as a blank screen and when I try to open it says error cannot open file and opens to blank screen too
Help!

Jennie,
Which file size can you see?
Have you still kept ealier versions of the document?
The original document may have become corrupt, or the blank PDF may have saved over it.
In case of file corruption, presuming there is something left (file size hopefully reasonable, greater than 0), one thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

As far as I remember, the first one is for Win and the second one is for Mac, while the third one should be for both.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

    Can anyone help me please?
    I am a newbie and I cannot open my pages documents.

  • Cannot open any Pages documents made prior to upgrading to Yosemie. Pages does not appear in the iCloud list in system preferences.

    Upgraded to Yosemite. Upgraded Pages to latest version. Uninstalled older versions of pages (made with iWork '09). Now I cannot open any Pages documents made prior to upgrading. I keep getting the same redundant message: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. You can download the latest version of Pages from the Mac App Store." Not sure if this is relevant, but Pages does not show up in the iCloud list in systems preferences.

    Ok, I found pages on the iCloud drive. But the behavior of Pages is still the same, problem unchanged.

  • Cannot open old Pages documents

    Cannot open old Pages documents after installing Yosemite. "The required index.xml file is missing." What happened?

    Are you sure you are opening the new iWork apps versions? They keep the old iWork version in case you want to use it again, so you might be opening the wrong version.
    Open a Finder window and choose Applications in the sidebar. Then, look for the Pages, Numbers and Keynote icons with the new icon, and open them. You should be able to open your documents without any problem.
    To prevent this issue again, drag their icons to the Dock, so you can access to them easily

  • Windows users cannot open my Pages documents

    Even though I check Windows Friendly Attachment, Windows users cannot open my Pages documents. Is there anyway to fix this problem?

    If the only questions we're going to answer are the ones that aren't already answered in the manual, then these discussions will consist of little more than directing people to page numbers. Yes, it would be nice if people read the manual before posting here. But everyone's brain works a little differently, and I don't mind if nice people ask questions that can be solved by reading the manual or doing a search in this discussion group. Even figuring out how to find things in the manual isn't intuitive to a lot of people.
    In terms of helping people, it's actually a lot less work to provide a solution for them than to look it up in the manual, then come back and report the page number.

  • Recently I updated to Maverick -- I also updated Numbers, Pages and Keynote.  NOW, I cannot open my pages documents.  I get a message that I need a newer version of Pages.  I have the newest version (5.2).  How do I get around this to view my documents?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • Trying to use the Ipad, was reading online newspaper this morning and went blank and then this on the screen, "safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found", what is this and how to fix?

    Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found, what is? keeps coming up on my IPAD!

    It may be the on-line newspaper server went off-line because of power failure or other problems.
    If other sites are working no problem --- if your internet carrier is off-line (happen to me during hurricane Sandy - I had power, my internet company didn't so no internet until it did>)

    I found a fix.  I opened up the document (either Page or Numbers) in Preview.  Then under Edit I hit Select All and then Copy.  Then I opened up Page or Numbers and opened a blank document.  Then under Edit I hit Paste and Match Style.  Then Save Document under new name.

  • "safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server"

    As stated above. I have had this problem for the last 2-3 days. I have always been able to connect to the internet over wi-fi using my iphone but this problem had persisted these few days. This is a problem because my iPhone shows that I do have connection to the internet. ( I assume this from looking at the internet signal stregth bar at the top of the screen.) My laptop and computer have no problem but the message "safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server," keeps on appearing on my phone whenever I try to access the internet.
         If it is of any relevance I use an iPhone 4s, reasonably new, practically 2 months. I have never had problems before this. Thank you for your help in advance.

    The connection strength icon you are referring to has nothing to do with the Internet. It simply indicates the strength of your connection to your local WiFi network. However, even when this icon appears you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPhone a valid local network IP address. To check on this go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix for this can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power to it for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPhone (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • What do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet

    what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network

    My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
    You may need to go back and start over.  Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

  • HT4199 What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and the bars come up but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet. ?

    What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and it show I'm on my wifi, but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says, Safari cannot open this page because it is not connected to the internet. ?

    When you click on the WiFi network name, have you also provided the password for accessing the network?  You should get a dialogue box asking you for the security information the first time you connect.
    If you are not able to connect, you might want to go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.
    Then go back to Settings > WiFi and select your network name again and make sure the security information is now entered correctly.
    If you still cannot connect, power down the router, wait a few minutes, power up the router, with the iPad powered down the whole time, and after the router has had several minutes to stabilize power up the iPad.  See if it now connects correctly.
