Existing document opens blank in CS5

I have existing documents created in CS5 that when opened now, open as 'blank' pages. They export fine and look the way they should. I see all of the elements in the links & layers palettes. I can see the frames of the various elements on the 'blank' pages, yet I only see 'blank' white pages that are useless for any work purposes. I was able to open these documents perfectly 2 days ago and there have been no software changes other than adding some fonts.

Just occurred to me to re-boot the computer to see if that would make a difference. It did. Both documents that had been giving me problems opened correctly with everything visible.
I'd still like to know why this has happened. Thanks in advance for any insight anyone might have.

  • Do illustrator cs6 document open in illustrator cs5?

    do illustrator cs6 document open in illustrator cs5?

    Yes, they do, but of course certain features will get converted/ expanded/ flattened and may not be editable. To increase compatibility, save it as a CS5 file from CS6.

  • PDF document opening blank with just a frame.

    I have a computer when it opens up a PDF file that is created by a certain user I get a blank document with a frame. If I open the same PDF on another computer it opens fine. I can open other PDF files on this computer with no problems just when I try to open PDFs from this one user. Is there a way to set Acrobat Reader back to its default settings to see if that will help.
    Things that I have tried.
    - Uninstall and reinstall Acrobat Reader
    - Running version 9.3.3
    - Running Windows XP SP3
    - Tried a new user profile on the computer
    Thanks

    Hi usatravel,
    I'm having the same exact trouble with opening a pdf file.  I'm able to view it from another computer and I can view other PDF files from my computer but when it comes to opening certain docs in the company database, I'm not able to view, I get just gray screen.  I'm sure it has something to do with the settings.  My technical support team is baffled and he can't seem to find the trouble.  He's uninstalled the program and re-installed it, but to no avail the same problem.  If anybody out there is familar with the problem, please help!

  • Illustrator & Indesign CC (Windows) crashes when trying to open an new/existing document

    I installed Illusrator & Indesign CC when they were released as I had a pre-existing Adobe CC account which I had previously downloaded Photoshop and Indesign CS6 with. When I try to use Indesign & Illustrator CC they both crash when you go to open a new / existing document. I also downloaded Photoshop CC and this works fine. I have phoned Adobe 6 times to try to resolve the issue, each time I wait on hold for an hour and they get told they will call back within 2-5 hours but this never happens.
    Has anyone else had this issue since installing CC and found a way to resolve it?

  • I have a word document that I have put hyperlinks in and turned into a pdf.  When I email and receiver opens in iPad the document is blank.  When I do a file save as pdf the document appears and the hyperlinks work but the document has much of the content

    I have a word document that I have put hyperlinks in and turned into a pdf.  When I email and receiver opens in iPad the document is blank.  When I do a file save as pdf the document appears and the hyperlinks work but the document has much of the content turned into symbols.  What is going wrong?

    You select the printer properties and set the appropriate page size (I think there is a place to set it in PDF Maker too, but not sure). In the printer, this is equivalent to putting the proper paper in the printer.

  • InDesign (10.0.0.70) always asks to save every time I open an existing document (no legacy) even if I don't make any changes, why?

    Literally EVERY time I open an existing document that I created myself before InDesign brings up the "Save" Dialog when I close it. I'm working with the Creative Suite like forever already and only had that sometimes, very rarely before (up to CS6). Now at my new job with CC set up this phenomenon appears. ALL files are saved on local hard drive!
    Any idea or is InDesign now set to ask all the time?
    Thanks for any tips!

    I totally understand version issues, BUT I did create tons of new documents in CC2014 already and still every time I've been ask to save it only when opening and closing them! Like I said it happens EVERY time and I'm working constantly with InDesign. Up until now I only kinda accepted what it is and didn't have time to deal with that problem...

  • Hello; I am using Numbers '09 version 2.1 (436). I tried unsuccessfully to upgrade at one point. Now can't open existing documents. Message "The index.xml file is missing".

    Hello; I am using Numbers '09 version 2.1 (436). I tried unsuccessfully to upgrade at one point. Now can't open existing documents. Message "The index.xml file is missing". How can I correct this ?
    Thank you
    Tom

    I't not iWeb that got damaged but the domain file. The index.xml file is inside the domain.sites file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Do you have a backup of that file you can revert to?  If so then do it.  Otherwise a long shot but try the following:
    close iWeb.
    delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • Documents open in reader XI, then go blank after 8 seconds. whether in IE 11, desktop file, or email

    Documents open in reader XI, then go blank after 8 seconds. whether in IE 11, desktop file, or email. This happens at home or at work.  I would expect that this is a common problem with a simple (to other eyes) answer

    Mystery solved.
    My .pdf files had been defaulting to Acrobat to open.  I just designated Reader as the default for opening .pdf, and am now able to open those files normally.
    Apparently, I installed Acrobat but had not yet confirmed my subscription.  The installation automatically made Acrobat the default for opening .pdf files, then wouldn't allow documents to be displayed for more than a few seconds before closing itself.  I assume that will no longer be the case once the bill is paid.
    Thanks for your responses, Pat.

  • Why when I drag photo from bridge into existing document, it opens with an X through it? Most of my functions are then grayed out. Thanks for any help.

    why, when I drag a picture from bridge into PS, to an existing document, I get N x THROUGH TH

    It is opening as a smart object. Simply right click on the image in the layers panel and "Rasterize Layer" when you are finished placing and sizing the new image.

    I just bought a new macbook pro and my CS6 migrated, but now when I open existing documents, it launches a free trial version. There doesn't appear to be a way to enter my serial number or communicate that I simply have a new computer. HELP! There is no customer support for this. I can't believe what a poor service company Adobe is!!

    The problem was that you migrated CS6. Unfortunately, migration doesn't work because it doesn't move all the files.
    First, you'll need to use the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove the components that were installed:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Second, you should install a clean copy of CS6. Here is a link:
