Document window sizing/position on opening a file

I use a custom workspace with all the CS5 apps that I use (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Dreamweaver), with a dual monitor setup. I prefer to have the Control bar at the bottom instead of the top and the application bar always off, so that there's nothing at the top, except the document itself. I also have the majority of the palettes open on the other monitor and a select few placed over to the right side of the primary screen.
The problem I'm having is that document windows keep trying to open full-screen on the primary screen, instead of fitting into the workspace area for them. I keep having to resize them before I can work on them. I'm having this issue with CS5 documents running on Snow Leopard. I didn't have this issue with CS3 running on Leopard. I've tried resetting all manner of prefs, to no effect.
Any ideas what's causing this to happen? TIA

I tried both and at first the xlsb file was hanging but I logged off to try other things under my account then logged back on again and it opened though pretty slow. I tried from my account as well and it is very slow but does eventually open. Under the
users account I copied the file to her desktop and it opens with no problem. The permissions are the same on all similar level folders yet the user can open Excel files from them with no problem and even larger than the problem files.
Edit: My mistake, the green progress bar happens on other folders as well. Talking with one of the senior IT who installed the system, this user is the last person of a chain from microwave>switch and fiber link>another switch and fiber link so just
may be a physical issue though from my experience the one folder 'seems' to have the most trouble in opening the Excel files.
Also tried disconnecting the network drive then reclogging to let the scripts recreate it. No luck with that approach either.

Error while opening pdf in reader in windows 8:Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format

I have a problem with a pdf file which does not open with reader in windows 8 but it opens properly with adobe pdf reader. All other pdf can be opened in reader.But when i open a pdf(see this link for pdf for which i got error http://incometaxsoft.com/temp/Form.pdf)
it gives error as "Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format".
The same file opens properly in adobe pdf reader.You can check the pdf file which i have mentioned in the link above.But the reader which comes with windows 8 can open some other pdf in the same PC.What may be the error causing this??

This has turned out to be an enormous issue for me as I sell PDF files as ebooks. I have done a fair amount of investigating this for my system.
My files have to be compatible not just across readers but across operating systems.
To date, I have over 200 PDFs that have functioned flawlessly across Mac, PC (Windows 7 and below), Android, iPhone/iPad, Linux.
I personally test my PDFs using a variety of readers and PDF editors including
PDF XChange (my favorite)
Foxit (runner up for me and I recommend for most people)
Adobe (the bloated monster)
Nitro 9 (great for moving graphical elements around)
ABBYY
And the Nuance PDF Create toolsets
Those are off the top of my head. There are a bunch on Android that I test with too.
I am running the Windows 10 Pro Tech Preview and I have this same problem so I know it isn't fixed yet in any kind of pre-release way (-sigh-)
Here is what I've learned for my situation
The PDFs I created using NUANCE'S PDF CREATE PROFESSIONAL VERSION 8
all fail using the built-in Windows 8/10 PDF reader.
When I look at the PDF properties for these Nuance created files, the underlying engine used to write them is called "ImageToPDF". Using ABBYY it indicates their own engine as does everyone else that I've tried. It is easy for you to check to see
what created your PDF by doing a "Control D" (look at the document properties). Perhaps there's a common engine causing issues.
If I use the exact same source files to create a PDF using any of my other tools I have no issues. I checked the PDF versions made by the tools and they are all set to 1.5.
A customer mentioned being able to convert them in a way they worked by saving them without having to do any kind of extraction, but I have not been able to duplicate that. Perhaps he did a "print" which seems like it could work.
In summary, the workaround everyone is talking about, using an alternate reader, of course works. But not everyone wants to change.
The culprit I have found is my Nuance PDF Creation tools that are using the ImageToPDF engine.
I hope it gets FIXED as I really don't want to have to regenerate all of my PDF files.

Windows mail recipient cannot open attached files

One of my colleagues is unable to open mail attachments from me. Here are the facts that I know:
I am using Mail.app. I have sent the attachments in both windows friendly and mac formats. The files are .pdf, and MS Word 2004 .doc format.
My friend can open files from everyone else, but not me.
All my other windows friends can open my files, but he cannot.
Are there settings on his machine (either Outlook or Outlook express) that might prevent him from opening my attached files?
PowerBookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Allan...
I have noticed Windows Exchange Server 2003 "stripping" out my attachments when I select the "Windows Friendly" checkbox. Allow me to elaborate...
When sending a basic Microsoft Word document from my Mac to his PC (document was composed in Office X, sent via Mac Mail), I selected the "Windows Friendly" option as I typically do for other Windows users.
He received a .dat file of exactly the same file size and file name. When he attempted to open the .dat file using Microsoft Word the file became corrupted and unusable.
Ironically, sending the same attachment without the check box (Windows Friendly) the file went through flawlessly as a .doc!
Yet, another time (to the same user) I accidentally checked the Windows Friendly box and the file went through just fine as a .doc!
Odd... Yep! But, I'd say 1 out of ever 10-12 emails I send with the "Windows Friendly" checkbox checked to his MSE server '03 results in the .dat file corruption. It's quite odd!

Hi, I need some help. Since I have changed to windows 7 I cannot open raw files with my canon mk 5D. The files will not open in cs4. Can somebody advise me what to do. I have done updates on CS4 and still cannot open the raw files

Can anybody advise me what to do as I am having problems opening raw files on CS4 since I have changed to windows 7. I am using a canon mk 5D.

Actually, you're not. That's not an accurate description of any of the Canon 5D models.
There are EOS 5D, EOS 5D Mark II, and EOS 5D Mark III models. Which do you have, specifically? Details will matter for this.
If you have a 5D Mark III (three) it's too new and you will not be able to directly open files with Photoshop CS4. You'll either need a newer version of Photoshop or to use the free DNG converter.

After file encryption in Windows 7, Excel cannot open .xlsx file

I just moved all my files to a new laptop with Windows 7. I was using Excel 2007 and Windows XP on the OLD laptop. The NEW laptop has Windows 7 Ultimate and Excel 2010. I turned on file encryption (via Windows File Explorer) and now I'm
unable to open most Excel files.
The error message says: "Excel cannot open the file 'ABC.xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file."
I can open the file just fine if I use the backup version from the old laptop. It appears that the Windows 7 file encryption damaged the file from Excel's perspective. No other applications are showing issues and not all .xlsx files are failing.
Any ideas, please?
Thanks,
Ken

This is not a solution but a possible work around to see/salvage the contents of your file. If you have a Google Account
Go to Google Docs (https://docs.google.com)
Log in with your credentials
Upload the troublesome files (xlsx, docx etc)
If you are lucky Google may be able to salvage their contents.
Once uploaded, you can always download the file from Google in a variety of formats

Help setting up Window.location.href to open a file, and 1 other issue

Hey there,
I am a student currently working on a school project where I must make a website. I am trying to set up: window.location.href="C:\Users\*PCNAME*\Desktop\*SITE*"; in that fashion to open up a local file on my HDD, so when I click a specific area, it opens that page from my local files. This setting works with opening web pages like "http://www.google.com" just fine, but when I attempt to instead open up a file location I am given an error.
Also, my other question is how to have more than 1: <script type="text/javascript"> function LinkTo(){, so that I can have 2 seperate buttons on my web page linking to 2 seperate sites.
Here is a link to the PasteBin with my code: http://pastebin.com/Eawy2hcL
Basically, I am wondering how to set up window.location.href to open up a page located in my files rather than from the internet like Google or Facebook; and, I am wondering how to have multiple LinkTo scripts set up so different buttons link to different pages and how to link those buttons to each script. I am new to Dreamweaver, so forgive me if anything is blindingly obvious!

Okay, I'll try to explain better. Btw, thanks for the bottom part. Figured out I am not supposed to put the full location of the file, only the page (index.html), not C:\Users\*NAME*\etc...
Anyways, I am wanting multiple scripts.
Basically, I want the left cell to, when clicked, go to NewCars.html, and the right cell to link to UsedCars.html. It is a table that I have configured to be clicked anywhere in the cell rather than just having to click the words to go to a link. The code is:
<table width="100%" border="1">
<tr>
<td style="cursor:pointer;cursor:hand;" onClick="LinkTo()" width="50%" bgcolor="#C5B8B8"><h2 style="text-align: center">Shop New</h2></td>
<td style="cursor:pointer;cursor:hand;" onClick="LinkTo()" width="50%" bgcolor="#C5B8B8"><h2 style="text-align: center">Shop Used</h2></td>
</tr>=-
</table>
I have the LinkTo script set up, but I don't know how to add another LinkTo script that goes to a different page so that way the first LinkTo script for the"Shop New" cell takes you to the NewCars page, while the "Shop Used" cell takes you to the ShopUsed page.

The "Downloads Window" freezes after I open a file from it.

Win7 system.
I just upgraded from FF12 to FF14.01.
I discovered that I was able to open only one or two files from the Downloads Window, after which the window would stop working properly. Double-clicking a file did nothing beyond highlighting its entry. Right-clicking and using the contextual menu doesn't open it either. Shutting down and reloading FF doesn't improve the situation. Only rebooting seems to get me anywhere, then only for a file or two.
PS: downgrading to FF 13 didn't help. The folder acts the same way in v-13. It was working fine in v-12 earlier today.
Thanks in advance for any wisdom anyone can pass along ...

in search bar, type "about:config"
Do this to see if it works.
search for "scan"
double click the first one to turn off the scanning of files when done.
"browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone"
-- set to false.
I'm running microsoft security essentials so i think that's what was causing my freezes. Here's is how i fixed mine.
Here's what i did :
Open microsoft security essentials and go to settings.
Under " Excluded Processes" .. browse for mozilla firefox in your program files and add it to the exclusion. --- click "add" then "save changes".
This somehow solved my problem... hopefully whoever reads this, this will also solve yours.

Windows explorer doesn't open LLB files.

was running LV6, 6.1, now 7.0 on win98 machine.
recently ran microsoft regclean and now I have no more support for
viewing inside .LLB files through windows explorer. Attempting to
re-enable this through LabVIEW/tools/options does not help.
Any hints?
thanks
paul

It appears that running regclean has busted this function by
removing 7 entries from the system registry.
Running ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS/National Instruments/LabVIEW/repair,
repaired the problem, and returned Windows Explorer support for LLB
files, unfortunately it also removes the LabVIEW registration name and
Ser#, but this can be easily found (and repaired) in ...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS
LABVIEW
7.0
in the system registry and values typed in for Registered Owner & Serial
Number fixes the 'unregistered' on the splash screen.
back to the LLB Explorer support problem,
What I actually did was to,
1) run regclean to make sure there wasn't any crap in the registry.
2) fix the LLB Explorer support
problem by 'repairing' LabVIEW from the
ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS system function.
3) run regclean
4) rename the 'UNDOwhatever.REG' file (in regclean directory) to 'Fix
LabVIEW LLB Support.reg'
5) Finally, double click 'Fix LabVIEW LLB Support.reg' to put the data
back into the system registry.
In this way, if I ever run regclean again and it removes the LLB
file support in Windows Explorer, all I have to do is run 'Fix LabVIEW
LLB Support.reg' instead of repairing (re-installing) LabVIEW.
I did this in on a Windows 98 system with LabVIEW 7.0. Your milage may
vary with other platforms or applications.

Unable to open PNG files "not the right kind of document"

I just noticed this error today when I tried to open several PNG files, some of which I created with Photoshop: "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".
I'm running Photoshop 9.0.2 on Windows XP Pro. Opening other file types (gif, jpg) works fine. I also noticed that in the save as dialog box that PNG is not a listed file type.

PNG certainly is listed as a file type. I have saved many of them using Save As, many quite recently, using PSCS3; and I just did a couple in PSCS2. Here's the Save As box in PSCS2 with an 8-bit flattened image being saved as PNG:
<br />
<a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1PSNAANh2tPbX1MMDLjmQLbHFqm91" /></a>
<img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/1PSNAANh2tPbX1MMDLjmQLbHFqm91_thumb.png" border="0" />
<br />And here's the Save As box in CS2 with a 16-bit layered image being saved as PNG:
<br />
<a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=145dp6qArIbj9k8JG23J1jGojM4imR1" /></a>
<img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/145dp6qArIbj9k8JG23J1jGojM4imR1_thumb.png" border="0" />
<br />
<br />Both PNG images opened properly. The second one opened as 16-bit, flattened (layers aren't preserved in PNG).
<br />
<br />And both of the above images were Saved As PNG from PSCS2, also.

Problems opening .pdf files created in Windows in MAC

My clients that are using Macs are having problems opening password protected PDFs that I created in Windows. Any suggestions?

Are your clients using Adobe Reader on Mac, or the built-in Mac OS Preview? Preview does NOT support the full PDF standard :(.

"Firefox 11.0.exe.part " Windows can't open this file.

I have been asked 3 times to update my Firefox over the past few days. Each time I tried it, Windows says it cannot open this file, or that it needs to know who created it. Then the next day I am told once again that I have to update Firefox. This is annoying to me.

The extension, ".part" indicates an incomplete download. Delete the file and re-download the update.

Safari can't open PDF files?

My Safari 1.3.1 operating in MacOS 10.3.9 cannot open any PDF files. Whenever I click on a link from which a PDF file can be downloaded, Safari asks me to select an Acrobat application. I do select Acrobat Reader 7.0.7 from my Applications folder, but then Safari only gives me a blank window, with no PDF file to view. The problem is likely in Safari, because I've also tried to open the PDF files stored in my own webpage, which I know that open and read well with other web browsers. I've also read the Help area of Safari, but it gave no useful clue to solve this problem. I have two eMacs and this same problem happens in both computers, that is, I can't open any PDF file using Safari! Does anyone know how to do it? Please write me back to [email protected]
Thanks,
Ricardo
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9) Safari 1.3.1 and Acrobat Reader 7.0.7

I have already set the Desktop folder as the download destination. Safari simply does not put the PDF files there. Again, it asks me for the application to use, I choose AR 7.0.7, but then I get a blank window instead of the opened PDF file that I need to see. If anyboyd knows how to solve this, please let me know. Thanks.

Open Appleworks - File is locked or in use

Our students are using Appleworks 6. When we came back to school this year and tried to open the application, several students got this error message: The file is locked or in use.
We've gotten this error message in the past when trying to open an Appleworks document, usually when students are opening a file I have put on the server for them and too many are opening it at once. We've never gotten it when just trying to boot up the application.
Any ideas what might be causing this and what the fix is?
Thanks

I could only find a terse explanation of it...
About AppleWorks File Repair Utility
This utility is designed to fix AppleWorks documents that have become damaged when the documents are saved from AppleWorks 6 running on a Mac OS X 10.2.x client to an AppleShare or compatible file server.
It's purpose seems very narrow in scope.

FIx for Problems opening PDF files

Forget about downloading a new version of Adobe Reader. If you are having problems opening a PDF file all you have to do is right click on the file and Save As (someplace you can go back to such as Desktop)Then go to the desk top (Windows Key + D) and open the file. I hope this helps a lot of people.

Good evening,
Thank you for your prompt response.
BACKGROUND:
I have been sending files to this customer for a couple of years. He says he's not doing anything different. I am not doing anything different either. He gets the same response on two different computers. He has no problems with files from anyone else. None of my other clients have this problem. I can open the same files if I send them to a different computer. I even tried zipping the file....no luck. I do send the files to him and myself in the same e-mail....so I would think if it was damaged...it would be damaged on my end as well?
INFO
Windows XP (both of us). I am printing to pdf from InDesign CS3. ( I did try exporting...same results)
He has Acrobat Reader 9. something. I have Acrobat Pro 9.
He is opening his e-mail, then clicking attachment, then clicking "open".
He also tried "save" and still same results.
RESULTS
He gets an error message to the effect that "the file is damaged".
On the zip file he gets error message "file is corrupted or damaged"
Any advice will be appreciated. We have only had this problem in the past couple of months.
Thank you,
MamaMille
