  • FM GUI_UPLOAD gives PC036 "Error when opening the download file".

    Dear all
    I'm having a problem with a particular PC.
    A program which calls FM GUI_UPLOAD gives the error PC036 "Error when opening the download file".
    The file we are trying to upload is a text file, with tab delimiter.
    If the same user executes the same program from another PCs, it works fine.
    If another user executes the program in the "problematic" PC, it gives the error.
    So, the problem is PC-related.
    I checked SAP GUI Codepage, and was the same as other PCs.
    I cheched regional configuration, and was also the same as other PCs.
    The operating  system is Windows XP, and the SAP GUI version is 7.10,  File version 7100.2.7.3077, Build 967944 , Patch level 7.
    SAP version is ECC6.
    I searched across forums, SAP note, and the web, but I couldn't find anything.
    I would be grateful if someone could give me ideas.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello. The user accounts are have same privilegies (like both are "Power users")? Also the file system are the same in both PC NTFS or FAT32 (today i'm find FAT32 in enterprise ) If NTFS may be some Domain politics are not allow to save file correctly, or space are not enough....Try check this first...Regards.

  • CS4 - Getting error when opening a .gif file - file-format module cannot parse the file.

    I am getting this popup error when trying to open a .gif file:
    "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file."
    This comes up every time I try to open a .gif file.  Even if I make a .gif file (like the image included in this post), save it and then try to open it again, I get the same error.  I tried reinstalling CS4, but the error is still there.  I have also done the reset on start-up and nothing.  Some have suggested that I open it in (Windows XP Pro) MS Paint and then save it again.  Did it and this does NOT work for me, either. 
    I know it's a Photoshop problem because I can see this file everywhere, except Photoshop.  It will open here, there and everywhere, except for Photoshop.
    I've searched the Adobe Commmunity and it looks like no one has come up with a fix for this.  I'm just currious after 5 years with this problem, has there been a solution?

  • Error when opening a zipped file transfred to the FTP via ABAP program

    Hi All,
    I have extracted the files from al11 and have zipped them and moved the zipped file to FTP site.
    But when I open the zipped file in FTP site, it shows the file names, but they dont look like real files(looks as text)...Even when copied the zipped file to the local pc and tried opening it the result was same.
    Note : For testing when the same zipped file is written to al11 and dowloaded from there using CG3y it works fine.
    Also created a zipped folder manualy and copied it to the FTP site and tried opening it.....It opened but displayed there are no records in it (which is incorrect), But when copied the same file back to local PC it displayed correctly.
    Please let me know hoe to resolve this issue. 
    Regards

  • Error when opening a .fm file w/ double-click

    WinXP/Pro, patched up.
    FrameMaker 7.0p579
    On a network drive, when I double-click to open most .fm files, I get critical error and FM load aborts.
    This does not happen when I do this for files on local hard drive.
    For the net drive files, if I first open FrameMaker THEN double click the file, all is normal.
    I understand this is related to long pathnames (we certainly have that!!); and I can verify by shortening a directory or filename to only a few characters.
    My question is whether I can change code in one of my .ini files to remedy this.
    Others in my group do not have the issue. In fact, frustrating me is that some of them are running FM v7.0p578, while others are also running p579.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    No joy.
    If I understand the issue correctly, the file path, from the Drive Letter to the file extension (inclusive) - including spaces and special characters - is still X number of characters long. As I write this, I got the idea to test how many it is, and how many need lopped off.
    Current PathLen = 118 (in some cases, this is 5 to 15 characters longer)
    PathLen that works = 91
    Confirmed 92 characters and more induce the failure mode.
    The break-point number derived by renaming the FM file to "1.fm", then removing one character at a time from directory name until double clicking the file would open successfully.
    Thanks for the input!
    Dave

  • No active layers and error when opening a new file

    I've been having this problem with my PS CS5 for awhile now. A little while ago I accidently pushed a shortcut, or something, though I can't remember what keys I pushed down because it was in a hurry. And since then I can't use the adjustments under Image or the filters. Everytime I try it looks like this;
    And when I try to open a new file it looks like this (and I tried to open a 100px x 100px file here):
    This is driving me insane, because I can pretty much do nothing right now. So please help!

    Boilerplate-text:
    As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
    System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
    Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)

  • Multiple errors when opening my project file. Please help!

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm new to the forum and I hope someone can help me with a problem I'm having with opening a specific .aep.
    My project crashed. I tried reopening it, but from then I've been getting the following error messages. While restarting my system or AE usually helps, this time the project wouldn't reopen no matter how I approached this.
    Steps I've taken so far:
    -Restarting my computer.
    -Restarting After Effects
    -Importing the .aep file into AfterEffects
    -Opening the file on a different computer.
    -Trashing preferences and reopening the Project in AfterEffects.
    -Opening one of my 5 at a 15 minute interval generated Auto-save files.
    All result in the same error.
    Please see attached images to see the error I'm getting.
    The final message can't be clicked away and when I click the exit button at the top right of the application the application crashes and prompts me with a default windows error screen.
    Used source footage:
    XDCAM files in a .xmf container
    I really hope someone can help me with this problem. Our deadline was yesterday so any help would be much appreciated
    Thanks in advance,
    Lars
    Some information about my system:
    After Effects CC (version 12.0) with all recent updates from the cloud as of 21th of august
    Windows 7 Professional
    Service Pack 1
    Dell Precision T3500
    Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU W3550 @ 3.07Ghz 3.07Ghz
    8 GB RAM
    64-bit operating system
    Wacom Intuos 4 large pen tablet
    QuickTime 7.7.4

    Solved!! I moved the two plug-ins that were giving me an error and tried to reopen the project. This time I could reopen it.
    Saving the file under a different name now worked and I could continue working on the project. However the composition containing the rotoscoped footage got lost in the process. I just redid this part and rendered the rotoscoped footage as a separate RGBA quicktime to prevent the same thing from happening.
    So happy 50 hours of work were still alive
    Hope this helps anyone experiencing the same problem.

  • Photoshop CC program error when opening or placing files. VERY FRUSTRATING PLEASE HELP.

    I'm an advertising graduate student that relies heavily on Adobe programs for my multiple simultaneous projects throughout the school year, specifically Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Muse, Edge Animate and Premiere Pro.
    I'm using a MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite.
    I have been experiencing an incredibly frustrating issue with Photoshop and Muse, both CC 2014. I'll speak about Photoshop in this thread since, well, this is a Photoshop forum. This has been happening for almost a year now. I figured Adobe would've fixed this problem by now, especially given the myriad of crash reports I send.
    While working in Photoshop, sometimes when I go to place a file I get an error message that says "Could not complete your request because of a program error." It used to be that this error was fatal and I would have no other choice but to force quit out of Photoshop and restart it. We all know how incredibly time-consuming it is for Photoshop to open (especially 10-15 times in one sitting), and being in grad school, time is not something I have a lot of when I have deadlines and projects due.
    This error is still happening and for the same reasons; however, now I can still continue to work on my file, as long as I don't need to open a document or place an image...which doesn't help very much because I'm doing a lot of mockups and composites and need those functionalities. It happens probably 90% of the time when I try to place or open a document.
    For the record, it's a similar issue that's causing Muse to crash as well. When I try to add an image file, it causes the entire program to crash "unexpectedly," as Muse so eloquently puts it.
    Until recently I had kept CS6 on my hard drive and would dig it out to use in place of CC when PSCC would crash; however, someone told me that having both versions was likely the cause for the crashes. After much hesitation, I finally uninstalled all of CS6 from my hard drive the other day (the right way, not into the trash can, since someone is inevitably going to ask that question) and I'm still having this problem, and now I don't have my CS6 version to fall back on and now I'm in a really bad spot.
    I apologize for all the rambling, but I'm really very, very frustrated with this error, and I had to do something while waiting for Photoshop to restart. Someone please help.

    MacOS 10.10? Yeah, Apple is working on that bug.  They already fixed the crash in the open/save dialogs, but have a few more problems to address with the open/save dialogs.

  • "...not a valid Photoshop document" error when opening Mac cc file on PC

    I get a "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document." error message whenever I try to open up a PSD file created on a Mac using Photoshop CC on my PC using CC. Other people have been able to open the file from the same location, so the files aren't corrupted. Anyone know how to fix this?

    I know this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to share my experience and solution in case anyone else runs into this.
    The other day, I spent many hours editing some photos for a client. I saved them all and closed Photoshop. When I tried to open the .PSDs, they all came up with this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error. I was freaking out. I could see the thunmbnails and previews with the MacOS Finder and could see the images just fine in Lightroom, but couldn't open them in Photoshop CC.
    Finally, I remembered that these were NOT supposed to be .psd files! They were supposed to be TIFFs. What happened was, when I edited them from within Lightroom into Photoshop, they opened as TIFFs. However, when I did "save as", I wanted to name them similarly to some other files I had. I clicked on one of the existing files to copy the file name in the Save As dialog to make it easier to name the new file I was saving, but I didn't realize it was changing the file extention from ".tif" to ".psd" as well. The older MacOS (version 9 and earlier) didn't rely on file extensions fo identifying file types, so it didn't hit me right away that this would be the problem. When I changed the incorrect .psd file extension to .tiff, the files opened in Photoshop just fine.
    SO... if you run into this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error, try figuring out if it's actually another file type (.jpg, .tif, .png, etc) by either getting the file info from another program or just experimenting with different file extensions. Chances are good that your file isn't actually corrupt, but just named improperly!

  • Error when opening a pdf file in chinese

    Hello,
    I have created a specific PO form by copying the standard one BBP_PO in SRM.
    After generating a pdf file with my specific form, I get the error "There was a problem reading this document (15)" when I try to open it.
    I can see some characters, and then everything disappears. I have both english and chinese characters.
    The chinese language is installed.
    If I use the standard form, I don't get the error !
    In the form, I use some standard text, which are created in english and chinese.
    Thanks for your help.

    Just so you know, my default PDF can opener remains set to Preview, though I will use Acrobat Reader when and if it serves my need.
    The upside of the Show scroll bars set to always is intuitive with applications. The downside is that any web content that has the CSS overflow:scroll configured will permanently have scrollbars attached to that content. At least, that is the behavior with Safari on Mavericks. Since I do web work too, I have left my scrollbar setting to when scrolling.
    I believe the OP issues about resizing PDFs has to do with the default nature of Preview to open PDFs in continuous, rather than single page mode. In the former state, one must always fuss with resizing the Preview window, and in the latter, Preview does what it should do — a single, tightly cropped PDF page. Setting the Single Page preference setting in one document does not make this behavior permanent for subsequent documents.
    I made two changes to Preview that open any PDF in Single Page mode, and tightly cropped to that page:
    Preview PreferencesPDF: Define 100% scale as: Size on screen equals size on printout
    Defaults write
    Change to ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Preview/Data/Library/Preferences
    defaults write com.apple.Preview kPVPDFDefaultPageViewModeOption 1
    Continuous view mode is (0) zero
    PDF documents will now default to Single Page mode

  • Error when opening Windows IDCS2 file on Mac

    Hi all,
    When I try to open an IDCS2/Windows file on my Mac, I get the following message...
    "Cannot open "filename.indd". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign."
    ...in a dialog box listing all my plug-ins.
    I found a knowledge base document here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=325156&sliceId=1
    but it offers solutions only for Windows users. (Unless I haven't had enough coffee yet and can't read.)
    I have also tried to open the file via Bridge, with no luck.
    Anyone have any suggestions for how to deal with this on the Mac?
    I'm using OS 10.4.9, IDCS2 4.0.5.
    Thanks--Dina

    Slightly off topic:
    After 5 versions of InDesign, none of which can open a file from a newer version, I wonder why Adobe hasn't refined the message to say something like:
    "Unable to open [filename]. This is a version [#] file. Please upgrade your InDesign [#] to the latest version of Adobe InDesign."

  • General error when opening FCP project file

    Hi, I have searched on the forums and found similar questions, but no solution yet.
    I created a project about a month ago (FCP 5.0.4) and now I need to make some additions but every time I open the file (or all of the 20 autosaved files) I get a general error message. I tried moving the media files to another folder, but I still get the general error message. I have the project file on my local drive and the scratch disk is a My Book drive (I forgot to reformat the drive so it is still Fat32). I have removed the preferences and ran disk first aid already.
    All of my other projects I can open just fine.
    Any suggestions? I need to add about 2 more minutes to the project which is already 18min. It took me a week to edit and I really don't want to re-edit everything.
    I am using FCP 5.0.4 on a PB G4 1.5Ghz

    I don't quite understand - did you move your project files to a FAT 32 formatted HD?
    If so, they're probably cooked . . . (as in wrecked)
    Check to see if they're .fcp and if not, try changing one to that, then try to open it.
    Search this forum for something like FAT 32 or Mac OS Extended - you may glean more accurate info from that.
