File is damaged for some readers
I've recently started using Acrobat Standard 9. I've created PDFs from Excel file using both through converting under the Adobe PDF button and through the printer. I can read them, but others cannot. They get a message saying the File is damaged. What can I do?
Depends. How are you sending them the file? If via email, they could be getting corrupted by the receiver's email client. If that's the case, either Zip the files before emailing or post them to a web space and email the ink for the users to download from.

Powerpoint 2010 file is corrupt for some users but not others
I have three client machines in our Production SharePoint 2010 environment. Two of them have Office 2010 (same version) one with Office 2007. Same OS - based on a Corporate Image, same version of IE8 (32-bit). Each user account has Site
Collection Administrator permissions to the site collection.
Our default server behavior for documents upon clicking on the Name is that the document opens in the client Office application as read-only.
Here's the issue - When one of the machines with Office 2010 opens a .pptx file on the site they receive this error message: PowerPoint found a problem with content in *filename*.pptx. PowerPoint can attempt to repair the presentation. If you
trust the source of this presentation, click Repair. (Repair) or (Cancel).
If this user clicks Repair then the file opens with visual errors in the powerpoint slides - marred images, stripped theme. If Cancel, then the file does not open.
HOWEVER, if the other two users (Office 2010 and Office 2007) repeat the same action on their machines, the file opens with no error messages, at all. The images look fine, everything is as it should be.
What could the issue be?
Brian Kennedy ECM AdministratorHi friend,
PowerPoint corruption is very common. It may be due to virus attacks, hardware malfunctioning, human errors etc. When a PowerPoint gets corrupted, you will be unable
to read files, the file will not be in a recognizable format, you will not be able to open unnamed.ppt, some PowerPoint applications will be closed by windows automatically.Hence you can easily repair
pptx files by using a good PowerPoint recovery software.For more information you can check this link:http://www.repairpptx.com/files.html.You
can easily download the free trial version of the software also. -
Planning file entries missing for some materials in MD21.
Hi gurus,
when i check the MD21, i found that some materails are not having planning file entries i.e netch and netpl indicator .and because of this we found that these materials are not being in planning.
From my understanding these planning file entries were updated when the material was created.
I am not sure how these entries are missing. Please can any one help me find out the root cause for the same.
Thanks in advance.
Naveen.ADear,
Please note MRP has to be activated for plant level before creating materials in OMDU. Then only created materials will have planning file entries.
You can run planning file entries consistency check in background before the MRP run to create/delete the planning file entreies automatically from MDRE/MDAB transactions...This will be useful to avoid the re-planning of the materials ( if planning file entry is not deleted after MRP run) and also to plan material (if planning file entry is not created).

RAW files show icons for some folders, thumbs for others
I have CS3, on OS 10.5, and use a Nikon D90. I've taken lots of pics in RAW format and all have shown a thumbnail in Bridge. Until the most recent set of pics I saved to my HD....they only show the RAW icon. What is going on with that? How can I make it show thumbs? Thanks
Is there a setting on my camera (Nikon D90) or in Bridge I may have tripped up
that
doesn't save a thumbnail?
Can't think of such a setting.
Could you specify if you have done some updates recently. There are a lot of
issues with Bridge CS3 and CS4 and CS5 are a lot better and much much more
stable.
However it seems to me that it is ACR related. Could you look at the specs
for this. In Photoshop go to the menu Photoshop/about plug in and choose
Camera Raw. Inhere there should only be one Camera Raw and it should say
version 4.6.
Could you report back on that?
And can you also check if you can see thumbs from Tiff, PSD or Jpeg files? -
Can't drag and drop a file into Photoshop for some reason?
I don't know what made it stop but at this point it's beginning to bug me to no end. I can no longer simply drag a file into Photoshop. I now have to go to "file --> open" in order to get anything into. Is there anything I can do to restore the ability to drag and drop?
Just to let you know I reset the preferences already and that did nothing. The other thing is I'm running Windows 7, however I've never had an issue with PS on it. Lastly I'm using CS4.
Thanks for any and all help.

You should be able to drag an image file from Windows Explorer into the work area if PS is open and maximised.
At least it works that way with Vista 64. It won't work dragging it on to the task bar button or the PS icon. -
I'm moving all my managed files to be referenced so I can access from both Aperture and lightroom. Needed to do a rename on 16,000 files to get rid of backslashes in the file names. Most of the time it worked but for 1093 files it gave OSSStatus -43. I've tried googling the error and got nothing. Any ideas where to begin looking?
Thanks
JimHow are you renaming the files? In the "File > Relocate original file" dialog panel? Are you using a custom name format?
Have you checked in Aperture, if the originals, that are giving you the error message, are still inside the Aperture library? -
Why is 500kb jpg file too large for PDF readers?
I have a jpg file size of 500kb and it is too big for GoodReader and PDF reader. Adobe Reader does not appear in the "Open In" dialog. Please help. I have an iPad 2.
hawkdavisCan you open these attachments in your email with no issues? There is no way that 500kb is too large as Diavonex has already stated.
Two thoughts - the jpgs are not being saved correctly or you have an issue with GoodReader.
Have you restarted your iPad? Quit GoodReader completely and then try again? -
I had this problem of not being able to open some files a couple of years ago and eventually was able to fix it but i can't remember how. Any help would be grateful.
The following document should help: Error: Adobe Reader could not open '*.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and was not correctly decoded.)
Please update this thread if your issue is resolved.
Thanks,

I recently had the genius bar change my imac hard drive because it crashed. For some reason Time Machine didn't back up some of my important files. Can I get my damaged hard drive back from the genius bar to see if I can access that info?
Unfortunately, that drive is long gone, probably back to the mfr. Drives are not returned when they are exchanged. You can go by and ask them, but the chances are slim to none.

Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." My friend made sure that the files in question opened without issue on his computer (a PC). Further, I was able to open one of these "damaged" files on my Android phone, but I cannot open them on the Macbook Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -
i just downloaded ilife every things working fine except, when i try to open iPhoto it said ''You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete. i tried to re-download it but my password didn't work for some reason. HELPPPP!!!
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
Happy New Year -
Downloading a file would normally bring up an option to open the file with the appropriate program or save it - for some reason now it just downloads straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else? It's very frustrating - sometimes you want the file opened first so it can be discarded or saved to a different location.
Hey. that's great! Thanks for posting back with the outcome.

Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
How can I get rid of this error message?Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
#1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
#2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk of your internal drive (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway) or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
#3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
#4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

I am trying to move my library and playlists to a new computer by burning to CD's. However, I followed the directions by going to File and then Library - then they said to go to burn CD(s) - I DO NOT have that option for some reason. How do I do this? I have done the library sharing thing but I am getting rid of my primary computer and am afraid I will lose the library.
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?
Hello waitingone,
please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
Good luck!
Hans-Günter
