File Error: Unknown File when saving

I tried to save my project to the drive I've been working in and saving all day. And all of a sudden Im getting a new error: File Error: Unknown File. What's that all about? It saved fine to another drive.

Error unknown message when saving ai file

Several days ago I got an external hard drive to backup. Had an error message saying all wasn't saved right. I use CS2 suite, all works fine except my illustrator files will not save as ai. They will save as jpeg, pdf, eps, but not ai. Error unknown message window popsup. Also 3/4 of my file names have turned from black to blue. I have reinstalled CS2 and this didn't fix the problem. What went wrong? How can this be fixed? I'm working on a book using Illustrator files alot.

PC - Windows, no fonts were installed. Only the ai files are affected. But nearly 3/4 of all file extension names have changed from black to blue. No big deal on that, but the ai saving is very upsetting.
Thanks,
Garry
What platform?
OS?
Computer Model!
Did you install any fonts?

CS6 OS X and Illustrator creates temp files when saved

Hello all,
First time to the forums, did a search and couldn't find anything, called customer support they didn't have an answer, and they directed me here.
We recently upgraded from CS5 to CS6 for OS X(Snow Leopard). Now, when our users open a file and save it, the file is saved, but along with the file, a temp PDF file is also saved in the directory. So needless to say, if my user makes 10 changes to the file, there is the original and 10 temp PDF files in the directory.
We never experienced this with CS5, and I'm not sure where to look, our environment has been unchanged with the exception of the upgrade.
All the files they are working on are on a Netapp NAS device, and only one person is working on a file at a time.
any help is appreciated.

Back up all data.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Select the text on the line below by dragging across it. Don't include the blank space at the end of the line.
sudo chmod -R -N
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Click anywhere in the Terminal window, then paste (command-V). Press the space bar.
Now switch to the Finder and and select the item(s) that are causing the problem. Drag the items into the Terminal window. More text will be added to what you entered.
Click in the Terminal window to activate it, then press return.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear. You can then quit Terminal.
Test.

Problem with the location of files when saving files after signiging them

We have a application that calls acrobat writter to sign a pdf (some sign boxes not the all document), but when using the latest Acrobat it insists on saving the signed files to the previous open path used by acrobat and not to the current file location, saving the file on the wrong path, how can i fix this ?
example
acrobat.exe c:\myfile.pdf ...-> tries to save to d:\some_path_where_user_worked_previouly
To me this is a bug, i open a file make a change and the aplication tries to save the file somewhere else ? this is most wierd and also this was not the way acrobat 8 worked....
but i have yet to find a solution... also the same problem occures if i open the pdf file in windows explorer
HELP PLEASE

Illustrator renaming files when saving

I am working in Illustrator CS2 on a PC. When I open a .ai file that I created, work a bit and save again, my files are being renamed. Example: My original file that was named "planning details.ai" gets renamed to "PLANNI~5.ai."
Why is this happening? Thanks!

What you are describing is an OS issue. Or possibly a DOS issue (Even though they say it no longer exists, ha). The first name is a long file name and the second is a short file name.
The short file name is used if you are using an FAT formated drive. An option is enabled in windows to use short file names only. Another possiblity is a portion of your Table on the hard drive is corrupted.
The Fat table can be changed using a utility in windows that converts FAT to NTFS or Formatting the drive, that is assuming the drive can be changed. Some drives like flash drives for a camera may be required to stay as a FAT drive for the camera to work correctly.
The option for enabling short filenames may no longer be available. Windows use to have a place to change settings when issues come up to rule out the cause. Its possible that during Windows 98 to Windows ME it got phased out. I did not see it in Windows XP but then again quite a few options are now hidden. So if you did not change it yourself odds are you can rule out this theory.
As far as a corrupt NTFS Table goes it might be as simple as using chkdsk.exe or as bad as formating the drive. Odds are you would notice this issue when saving any or all new documents and reading a directory (folder) may show jibbersh or the short filenames only.
The tell tale sign of a short file name is the length of the name which is a maximum of 8 characters, plus the period, then the 3 character extention. If the long file name exceeds the limit of the short file name, a ~ character is used just before the period and the extention is trunicated to the first three characters after the period. Also the short file name can only use alphanumeric characters.
Hopefully this helps some. I do not think there is an option in Illustrator for determining which filename type to use. As this is usually left up to the OS.
Good luck...

Illustrator also saves a new .ai file when saving with batch

When saving for Web as .png with a batch, illustrator also saves a new .ai file.
The batch opens the .ai files from a specific map and saves them in another map.
Is there a reason that illustrator does this ?
Now I have to delete all the .ai files from the saving-map.

Which version of Illustrator? Which Batch settings in detail?

Photoshop Elements 7 - format changes to temp file when saved

When I open a file in the edit screen (quick edit) and then edit the file -- when I close it (and agree to replace the current image), it closes as a temp file and I lose the jpg file? It does state that the image "Could not save as ..... because the file is already in use or was left open." Then I close it and the jpg is gone. Is there some setting I have to change? I just want to make changes and then save as the same file so I only have the new, edited image? I know I have done this before.
I am using Vista and Photoshop elements 7. I had elements 4 before and this never happened. In fact, I used my elements 7 before and it never happened.
Thanks for any help.

Please explain more as if your new file is not created properly or it is not recognized as a supported file format. In later case you will see some unsupported file format icon when you save the file and check its file icon.
Also when you save the file, a jpeg settings dialog box comes up. Make sure you select appropriate settings.
If you find that its just the unsupported file, then try opening the file with File->open As and choose jpeg and see if its opening.
Also try open with after right click the image icon and browse and choose PSE as a default app for opening a file.

Error in BP when saving a transaction type

Hi Gurus!!! first of all merry xmast!!!
I need you help since I cannot see where the error is. I am using CRM 7.0 and in the UI when saving a transaction I get the following errors "The region 00 is not defined for country" and "The country is not set". I have made the following verifications:
UI
--> Assingment Block: Parties involved I have checked that both the customer and employee responsible have the country and region
--> The transaction type used does not have the field "country".
GUI
--> PPOMA_CRM: I checked that the organization has the country set.
-->BP :I double checked that the BPs customer and employee responsible have the country and region assigned.
What`s wear is that I seem to be the only one who has this error so I`m reallly confused on how to solve it.
Please help me,
Thanks a lot!!!
Regards,
Lorena.

Hi,
Is this happening for all the types of Transactions like Sales, Service, etc.? Is that data that you are using is proper? And can you check if the countries are properly maintained in the system? Check if the country is a mandatory parameter or some country specific checks are executed in the system.
You can check for the countries in the System from transaction code - SPRO -> SAP NetWeaver -> General Settings -> Set Countries -> Specify Countries for mySAP Systems.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Samantak.

Do I have to add this ID in "connection" parameter on exchange profile?
Would you mind telling me how to solve this problem?
Thank you.
Regards,
Soyeon

Dear Paul,
I appreciate your advice.
I've checked them as you said.
1. In VA,
ume.persistance.data_soruce_configuration in the UME Provider was set to dataSourceConfiguration_r3_roles_db.xml
2. Implement 864268.
In VA, Dispatcher -> Services -> P4 Provider : bindHost is set to IP
3. In NWA, I installed J2EE/ABAP.
But, In Integraion Builder, a ID that I issued can not logon.
Please let me know another tips.
Thanks a lot.
Have a nice day!
Sincerely,
Soyeon

Odd error message given when saving a file to a secondary drive.

I am running Photoshop CS3 Extended on a Windows XP Pro, with SP2 installed. The computer has two hard drives installed. On all previous versions of Photoshop I've been able to save a file to my 2nd hard drive easily by typing "D:\image.jpg"
When I try to do the same in Photoshop CS3 I get an error message that says "could not save as d:\d:\image.jpg because the file name was invalid"
So I have to hit SHIFT+CTRL+S then type "d:\" and then type a file name, making it a 2 step procedure to save a file now. If I don't follow this procedure, and just type the filename it saves the file on drive C:\ in a subdirectory.
Obviously it's a path error, but I've never had a problem with a straight out command "D:\image.jpg" on previous versions and looking at the Preferences options or doing a search for this error didn't shed any light on this issue. Thanks for any feedback on this problem.

i "could not save as d:\d:\image.jpg because the file name was invalid"
It seems that the "explorer" function is already set to drive D:\, as evidenced by the error message. If the file came from D:\, or you have been saving to D:\, then you will not type "D:\" into the file name, as both the ":" and the "\" are forbidden characters.
As a test, Open a file from C:\, then Save to C:\. Now, Do a Save_As and try typing "d:\image.jpg." It should do this, without the error message.
Just a note: you may have simplified the path for your post, but otherwise, it's not a good practice to save any file into the root of a drive - always do a folder. If this was for done as an example only, then ignore my caveat.

Error 7 produced when saving to a spread sheet file using a compact rio

Hi
Im having a little difficultly saving to a spread sheet file using a compact rio. I bundled the data from a NI 9215 with a timer and stuck it into an x-y graph and that works fine as it goes round in shift registers. But then I passed the data out of my while loop unbundled it, turned it into a 2d array and tried to write it into a spread sheet file using the appropriate i/o vi provided by labview 8.2. I have hooked up all the requirements like format, and file path. But it keeps returning error 7 and says that my file path is incorrect. I’ve tried using a constant file path, ive tried creating the file before running the program, ive tried just writing the file straight to a disk in this case h:\test.asc but every time it comes back with error 7. I then went to a lab downstairs to see how they did it and the method I’m using it works down there but is exactly the same as mine upstairs. I’m a little confused by this one.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Dan

Hi
I apologise I didn’t specify I was only using a NI cRIO-9004 not realising you could get ones that had a USB port. I thought mine would behave in the same way as a DAQ device and write the file back onto the main computer hard drive. Is this not what happens if not how do you make it do that. The computer is a networked system with its own C:\ harddrive, but my personal space is on H:\ which must be like a pretend hard drive, or alternatively can you make the cRIO write it to a memory stick within a USB port of the programming PC itself. Or can you write onto memory of cRIO but then how do you download the data?
Also I apologise that I posted the message twice only did cos I thought it might be in the wrong forum.
Thanks
Dan

Save as PDF in Excel rewrites file when saving multiple sheets

Hello,
I'm having issues saving Excel files to PDF when multiple sheets of a workbook are active. I constantly need to print multiple sheets of a workbook for a service report, but when multiple tabs are highlighted to print/save it will save each sheet as the output file but immediately overwrite the saved file with the next sheet. So if I have four sheets active and go to print/pdf/save to pdf I will briefly see a "processing page" message box for each sheet but in the end I will only have one pdf file of the last active sheet. A single sheet will save beautifully but it's kind of a pain to constantly string together the pdf files. I looked through the Excel forum, but it seems they point anything pdf related back to OS X. I'm running XL 12.1.5 and OS X 10.5.6. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've been having the same problem... after not finding a solution on this page, I finally found an answer that worked for me. As the Adobe support link below states... change the "Print Quality" to be the same for all sheets, then use the Print dialog box rather than the Save As dialog box. In the Print dialog box, choose the "save as PDF" option" (on the lower left for me). This finally solved my multiple file problem.

Why can I not see the entire MS word file when saved as a PDF?

I saved a MS word template as a PDF and only part of the document is visible. The MS Word doc was erased, so I need to be able to see the remainder of the document.

By "part of the document" do you mean just certain pages or are pages cut off or...?
If pages are missing, that is probably what was chosen when it was printed to the pdf (or they were removed somewhere down the line). Again, the lost information would not be in the pdf file.

BUG: domains are stored in wrong file when saving a model

For a project we use a project specific domain file.
When I want to add a domain I first select the project domain file and then add the domain. I can see that this new domain is stored in this project specific domain xml file.
However, when I save the model, the just created entry is removed again from the project domain file and the newly created domain will be stored in the default domains file.

it seems you have design open when add domain into file with design level domains - domain is added to file not to open design, and this is the reason added domain to disappear when design is saved. Add domains to file with closed design and open design after finish adding domains to file and save it. Domains can be edited afterward when design is open.
We have request for improvements on that.
Philip
