CS4 files not converting to cad- help

I've been trying to export some CS4 Illustrator files to cad for laser cutting. Fab shops here use mostly Solidworks, but can use autocad. I'm selecting dfx/dwg in the export, and scaling to inches, even double checking the scaling is correct from a decimal measurment found on another forum thread, and it is-- but I've tried this about 8 times now with 2 different fab shops and they both say when they open the files the scaling is WAYYYY off, and there are breaks and "splines" all over that are disconnected.
Can anyone help? I'm on a killer deadline of course too. A big sculpture commission is riding on me firguring this out. Please???

First find out what version of Solidworks they are working withy and what is the highest version of AutoCAD it supports that is 2006 0r say 2010 etc.
It may be that they are using an older version then I would say eps or opening in Draftsight and saving back to an earlier vesion of AutoCAd would be the way to go.
BTW they should be more specific as to how youy should export the file rather than leaving the responsibility of you to figure out their work flow. Not too professional on their part.
However they may be wanting you to pay them a fee to make it work and do some this for you, if you get what I mean. Printers use to do this when they sense the party was new to printing.
We use to ask well if this isn't correct or that isn't correct how would you want it and they would say well don't yuou know when there was ten possibilities of course only one workjed for their woprk flow and you could hire them and their staff would do the work for you. I am not saying this is their game but it strikes me as odd that they have never come across this issue and don't know how to handle it.
I am using CS 6 and thyis was my results with with back and forth between Draftsight and AI CS6 the latest AutoCAD version is 2006 that Illustrator supports.
I exported this to dxf from AI CS6
I got this in Draftsight when iopened it
I alteresd it in Draftsight like this and exported a dwg AutoCad 2006…2010 the latest version does not open in Illustrator
I then opened the dwg file in AI CS 6 and got exactlky what one would expect so this should also work in CS 5 and CS 4 since there is no difference in the support in those version.

X2-02 camera issues - .nrw files not converting to...

I've got X2-02 and am experiencing the same problem on this link: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Cseries/C2-02-camera-issues-nrw-files-not-converting-to-jpeg-files/m...
I tried all of the tricks mentioned and nothing became fruitful in converting the files to jpeg (viewable on PC).
Anyone who has a solution to this, kindly post it here...!

imranshahab,
Welcome to Nokia Discussions!
Try this online image convertion site: http://bit.ly/1dyiDQm
Or try sending the .nrw files to another bluetooth capable phone and see if it does convert the file to jpeg after receiving it.
Good luck

File Sharing lets you transfer files between iPad and your computer. You can share files created with a compatible app and saved in a supported format.
Apps that support file sharing appear in the File Sharing Apps list in iTunes. For each app, the Files list shows the documents that are on iPad. See the app’s documentation for how it shares files; not all apps support this feature.
Connect iPad to your computer.
In iTunes, select iPad in the Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
In the File Sharing section, select an app from the list on the left.
On the right, select the file you want to transfer, then click “Save to” and choose a destination on your computer.
Transfer a file from your computer to iPad:
Connect iPad to your computer.
In iTunes, select iPad in the Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
In the File Sharing section, click Add.
Select a file, then click Choose (Mac) or OK (PC).
The file is transferred to your device and can be opened using an app that supports that file type. To transfer more than one file, select each additional file.
Delete a file from iPad: Select the file in the Files list, then tap Delete.
or use dropbox

File not converting correctly

I downloaded a file several time to convert PDF to Excel. The first line of the file is converted correctly and all subsequent lines are put in column A only and not separating into columns A thru F.

I got it.....

Part of Excel file not converting

I am batch creating Excel files to PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro (9). My settings are such that all tabs convert, but I have "parts" of one of the worksheet tabs that do not fully create. In my Excel settings I am repeating columns A-D on each page and then approximately 5 columns of additional data show. However, in certain documents I only get the first 3 pages. I have done this successfully on another similar document template, and don't see any differences in the file page settings. Does anyone have a suggestion for how to ensure that Adobe "sees" all the columns in the sheet? Or, is there something I have done differently in the two templates and what is it?
I have hundreds of files to convert.

Upon further review, the other template is also not publishing correctly. If there are any number of pages past 3 that are required, the file will always be short, but by differing amounts. (Some files may be short 5, others are short 4). I have tried setting my default printer to Adobe and printing from Windows Explorer and choosing Convert to PDF from the right click menu (also in Explorer), but both these options will only convert the current page, not the entire workbook.
I am DESPERATE for a solution!

Files not converting, HELP!

Just downloaded InDesign CC and now files that were created in InDesign CS6 won't open. Do I need to download something?

File saved on my PC desktop. Originally created in CS6. I click open file with: InDesign CC (as this is the only InDesign program I have. When program opens I receive this:

Why are raw files not converting to DNG?

I currently have Photoshop CS3 with ACR 4.6. I just purchased the Nikon D300s which doesnt work with this version of ACR, so I downloaded Convert to DNG 4.6 and unzipped it. The box came up to convert and I hopefully entered all the correct info, then I received the Conversion Status box which shows all the files I chose, but it says none of them were converted with the following message: "There was anerror parsing the file".
What does this mean and how can I fix it. Thanks, Karen

Thanks Jim. Are you talking about 5.5? As far as I can tell, anything starting with the number 5 only works in CS4. Which download would you suggest trying?
Thanks, Karen
Camera Raw 5.5 is only compatible with Photoshop CS4. But the DNG converter 5.5 is a stand-alone program. It runs by itself, it does not need any version of Photoshop to run. DNG converter 5.5 will convert images from the most cameras, and will create DNG files that are compatible with ALL versions of Camera Raw since version 2.4. So, yes, I am talking about DNG converter 5.5. Download and install it and look at the options. Choose appropriately, and then do your conversion.
As far as the version number is concerned, you need to concern yourself with it only because the version number will enable you to know which cameras are supported. The DNG converter is released right along with Camera Raw, so the supported list is always in sync. But it doesn't mean that DNG converter is only compatible with that same version. I hope this clears it up for you.

TIFF Files Not Importing!! Help!!

I have a whole batch of Photoshop illustrations (NOT photos) that are in TIFF format. each one is about 20MB each, and for some reason i cannot load them into iPhoto, nor can I open them in Preview.
any thoughts as to why this is? I want to put the drawings together and order a book using iPhoto 5, but obviously I can't get them in.
I CAN convert them to JPEG and they load in fine and look correct, but i'm afraid i'm going to lose crucial color data by compressing them.
Help! any thoughts, solutions, or shoulders to pout on?

I checked the permissions and they are Read & Write - thank you for that advice.
I went back to trace some steps and here's what i'm doing. maybe this might shed light? i don't know for sure:
1. create the illustrations in Photoshop (RGB)
2. Flatten the layers, convert to CMYK
3. Save image on hard drive as TIF with a name like: XXXXX01.tif
* now here's where a problem begins
4. i noticed that when i save in Photoshop, a message like, "Some files being saved contain non latin characters, they will be incompatible with some browsers"
5. the file is saved and can be opened again, without problem, in Photoshop.
I am guessing that perhaps this might have some relation to why the files may not import into iPhoto the way they should.
in retracing my steps, i tried saving these files with different names, as RGB, as .RAW, as .EPS and in as many profile configurations i could think of - all with the same final result: could not import into iPhoto.
I really appreciate the consideration in trying to help me with this. any further thoughts or feedback would be very much appreciated.

XML file not loading...HELP!

Hello,
I'm working on a Magento template that includes a flashfile that loads a XML file.
I'm getting the following error:
XML FAILED TO LOAD! (undefinedtfile_main.xml)
Fout bij openen van URL 'file:////Volumes/Macintosh%20HD/Users/ralreclame/Desktop/undefinedtf ile_main.xml'
flash folder looks like this:
I also tried placing the xml-file outside the xml_folder. Did not work either.
code in the first frame looks like this:
Stage.align = "MC";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
_root.gall = url="tfile";
_root.cacheKiller = "true";
_root.road = _root.xmlUrl;
_root.r_p = _root.imagesFolder;
import gs.dataTransfer.XMLParser;
function onFinish(success_boolean, results_obj, xml) {
    //This fhunction gets called as soon as the XML loads and gets parsed.
    if (success_boolean) {
        trace(1);
        play();
stop();
var parsed_obj = {};
//We'll use this to hold the parsed xml object (once the XML loads and gets parsed successfully).
var unCash = new Date().getTime();
if (_root.cacheKiller == "true") {
    fileToLoad = _root.road+url+"_main.xml?cacheKiller="+unCash;
    fileToLoad = _root.road+url+"_main.xml";
} else {
    fileToLoad = _root.road+url+"_main.xml";
XMLParser.load(fileToLoad, onFinish, parsed_obj);
Hopefully anyone can help me out here!
grtz Roel

Thanx for the reply! my flash folder looks like this:
and i inserted the value this way >>
Stage.align = "MC";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
_root.gall = url="tfile";
_root.cacheKiller = "true";
_root.road = _root.xmlUrl;
_root.r_p = _root.imagesFolder;
_root.xmlUrl; = "xml_folder/"            <<
import gs.dataTransfer.XMLParser;
function onFinish(success_boolean, results_obj, xml) {
    //This fhunction gets called as soon as the XML loads and gets parsed.
    if (success_boolean) {
        trace(1);
        play();
stop();
var parsed_obj = {};
//We'll use this to hold the parsed xml object (once the XML loads and gets parsed successfully).
var unCash = new Date().getTime();
if (_root.cacheKiller == "true") {
    fileToLoad = _root.road+url+"_main.xml?cacheKiller="+unCash;
    fileToLoad = _root.road+url+"_main.xml";
} else {
    fileToLoad = _root.road+url+"_main.xml";
XMLParser.load(fileToLoad, onFinish, parsed_obj);
The movie now shows in the preview so no more load error. One step further.
But the links from the XML file are stil not working. When i preview the movie in flash i get "undefined" 5 times (i got 5 links in the xml file) It looks like this>>>
any idea where that comes from??
Thanks Again.

PDF File not getting generated - PLEASE HELP

I have a jsp in a portlet from where in I call another jsp to generate a PDF file on the fly. IT is not working I have tried all sorts of stream please help.
Calling JSP (Portlet)
<tr>
<td><netui:anchor href="print.jsp" target="new">Print

Called JSP, print.jsp:
try {
ServletOutputStream outStream = (ServletOutputStream)response.getOutputStream();
outStream.write("BINARY OUTPUT".getBytes());
outStream.println("PRINTLN OUTPUT--"+request.getParameter("empID"));
outStream.flush();
outStream.close();
} catch {}
As you can see I am just trying to Write some string in the print.jsp
The word opens up but nothing is WRITTEN in it. Have tried all the OutputStreams. Please help why is it not getting printed even if set proper headers.

There are some issues with this PDF file. It's not tagged but even still it has some real problems. I checked the file to see what created it and it was something called "Wine Postscript Driver" and the PDF Producer was "GPL GhostScript 9.10" When you check the file in Preflight then you will begin to understand that this is a poorly created PDF file. Here is a bit of the PDF Syntax report:

Hi bristolmaid1,
With ExportPDF, you can choose the language to use of OCR (optical character recognition). However, ExportPDF doesn't translate text from one language to another.
