Files open empty/blank

I am working with the most recient version of Dreamweaver CC(13.2 build 6466) on Mac os 10.9.2. Most of my files reside on servers in the building connected through eithernet. I have editied these file on the file servers for years and not had a problem. All of a sudden when I try to edit them, while they are on the server, Dreamweaver opens them to empty/blank files. I know they are not blank because I can open them in other text editors and the code is there. When I copy the files to my desktop the file opens with out a problem. I don't have my pages setup as sites because that dosn't work in my Magento work flow. As far as I know nothing about my network has changed.

I Deleted the cache and then renamed the Configuration folder and neither had any effect. I have a virtual Windows 7 machine on this system. The Win 7 system is hosted with Parallels. I relized that the file(s) that I was trying to access was not on a server, those files seem to work, it was on this virtual win 7 system. I have recently upgraded the Mac OS to Marverics and in that proccess I updated Parallels. I am going to check with Parallels to see if the issue resides with them.

Psd files open as blank

I downloaded a large number of sample photos in .psd format. The psd files are about 60megs each. The files open in CS5 Phootshop to what looks
like a blank image (light and dark checkerboard squares) possibly what you might expect if you started to create a new image. Does anyone have any
idea what this means, if the files are fakes, or if there is anything I can do to see what's inside? Thanks in advance for any comments.

The freeware program IrfanView can open PSD files, though I believe it just opens the flattened preview.

All pdf files open up blank (gray)

I have Adobe Acrobat Professional and all my pdf files open up grayed out (blank). I can open my pdf files in other pdf readers but not in Adobe. This is a problems because I need to merge files and can't do that on a pdf reader. I must have messed up a setting somewhere. Any suggestions?

Try: Edit > Preferences > Page display > Show large images
If the PDFs are from scans, having this setting deselected may be causing it.

EMF file opens as blank

I am trying to open an emf file in Illustrator, but it just appears as a blank page. I tried some emf files that I created a few years ago, and they open fine. But the new ones that I made are not appearing. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your quick response! Admittedly, I am not using Illustrator for it's full capacity, so I'm definitely a novice. But, again, I'm just a little bit perplexed as to why some of the emf files appear with no problem, and the ones I'm working with now are not appearing. Here is a bit more detail:
The emf files are created in MatLab (they are graphs for research). I save them as an emf file from that program. However, that program is relatively crude, so I need to make some adjustments to make them look better, which is what I have used Illustrator for in the past. I can open these files with other programs (paint, photo viewer, etc), but when I try to open them with Illustrator, I just see a plain white box. Again, when I open emf files that I made a few years ago (using the same techniques), there is no probelm -- the figure appears and I can edit it.
When I save the figures in another format (e.g., if I convert to a pdf), the picture appears, but some of the quality is lost. The lines become a bit fuzzy and less defined.
I have not tried to insert into Word first, then open in Illustrator, so I will try that next. What is the porper way to do this? I know how to insert the image, but should I then just save as a .docx, then open that in Illustrator? Let me know, and I'll give it a shot.

Loading file with empty/blank values

My datas are in a file and my target is a DB2 table wich contains numeric columns, date columns, text columns (CHAR, VARCHAR)...
If I load this file with Sunopsis with "KLM File to SQL", when the value of the column is blank in the file, the colum in the target table is null
Now, with ODI and "LKM File to SQL", when the value of the colum is blank in the file, the data in the target table is :
- null if it's a date
- "0" if it's a numeric column
- spaces if it's a text column
Can you explain me why the result is different with the 2 tools ? I want that ODI make the same thing than Sunopsis.
Thanks.

For those who are interested, the problem come from the differents drivers used for files :
In Sunopsis, by default :
-     driver :     com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.FileDriver
-     url jdbc :      jdbc:snps:file
In ODI
-     driver :      com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.file.FileDriver
-     url jdbc :      jdbc:snps:dbfile
Problem solved.

RoboHelp for Word: The Help file opens a blank page

Hello,
The Help files were working fine all these days. Today when i
click on the help on the webpage, it shows a blank page. I am using
RoboHelp for Word X5. I do not get any error message on the screen.
I can just see the progress bar just blinking and also our website
link which says transferring. None of my help files on the live
applications are working
Please help.
Regards
Chandrika

That link works for me in IE and FF so I think we can rule
out your output.
If the problem is the call, anyone who accesses it via the
link you gave me should be OK and only see the problem when the
help is called via the application.
If the problem is the help, anyone will see it, no matter how
they access the help.
I think both can be ruled out as they do not fit what you
describe. I would therefore be inclined to forget the RH8 idea.
You said
"The clients are having the same problem again. It seems that
the help page keeps refreshing again and again in their systems.
When i checked it at office network, the systems that are connected
through proxy are giving the problem. The other systems which are
not connected through proxy are working fine."
This is consistent but it is something IT will have to
resolve.

PDF file opening with blank fields - the field values are not populated.

Recently, our users have been facing this issue, "data not populating in the PDF fields".
We are using FDF in PHP to load the PDF templates and apply the data to the PDF fields. This works fine on many adobe versions but showing empty fields in few adobe versions. For e.g It worked fine with Adobe Reader 10.1.3 but did not work in 11.0.
This has been critical now as it is showing empty fields in IE11. Can you please help me overcome this issue.
Thanks!

All I can suggest is to try the latest Reader versions, i.e. 10.1.11 or 11.0.8.

Office files opened from network drive appear to be blank for Mac Users

Hi all,
We've got five macs in our office running 10.9 with Office 2011, and we have a file server running 10.8 which stores all of our documents.
More often than not, when one of the macs opens a DOC or DOCX from the file server, the file opens up blank.
There aren't invisible fonts, doing a Select All and changing to black doesn't help.
The files appear to be fine when opened in Finder, or with LibreOffice (which my colleagues don't want to use!)
The files open correctly when the files are moved to the local hard drive and opened from there.
The files also open fine via the network on a Windows 8.1 PC with Office 2007.
Has anyone else had this problem, and got a workaround? I've been looking at this for a while but not found anything as of yet.
Appreciate any assistance you can give. :)
Kind Regards,
Yolo Swaggins

Hi,
Please have a look at this KB articel (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2434675) and try the steps listed in it:
Change the font in the Office for Mac file
Disable the fonts in the Fonts folder
Check for bad fonts
Create a new Mac user profile
Also, this is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office on Windows, we are lacking of skills and testing environment for Office for Mac. Better to post your question to the forum of Office for Mac:

Same Numbers file opens fine under host but blank under VMWare guest

Am working toward a daily use virtual machine as an operating environment. Using VMWare Fusion 4 and Lion 10.7.4 for both host and guest. Host and guest each have 4 GB RAM allocated and gobs of disk space.
Have iWork '09 installed under both host and guest. Trying to use a Numbers worksheet that's stored both in iCloud and DropBox - doesn't matter which, same results. This is the same physical file accessed from both host and guest. In the host, worksheet opens fine. In the guest, Numbers '09 starts fine, but no worksheet contents show - the tree shows on the left, but worksheet shows blank. Have tried pulling in backup copy and re-uploading to DropBox. Same results. Same behavior for Pages .09.
Other applications (other than iWork) seem OK so far.
Anyone have an idea what may be going on?
Thanks!

UPDATE:
I have backed up to Lion 10.7.3 in a new vmware guest, reinstalled iWork '09 from the retail disk into the guest. No change. Pages, Numbers and Keynote work spaces all show empty on guest screen (even though same files open fine under hot side).
I have downloaded latest Parallels, installed, created Lion 10.7.4 guest, installed iWork '09 from retail disk and same results. Host works fine, guest loads but shows blanks screen.
I had a note from one person who said they had similar setup and same s/w versions all around. Says his works fine under guest. So far, only difference I can see is that he's running Numbers and Pages apps he downloaded from the App Store whereas I'm using an iWork retail disk. We're both using iWork '09 version 2.1.
Really now, could THAT be the problem?
Ideas anyone?
Thanks.

All pdf files open as a blank page after updating to 11.0.07.

Ever since I updated to AR 11.0.07 in Windows 7 I get a blank page (empty gray box) when opening any pdf. This happens whether the pdf was on my hard drive or received in email. The files open just fine in other pdf programs and they used to open just fine in prior versions of AR. Please help?

Have you tried to download the files (typically right click on the link) and open them in Acrobat that way, rather than the plugin to the browser. There may also be an issue with the browser. You did not mention the browser you are using, but might try FireFox or such (assuming you are currently using IE).

Files open as a blank in Adobe Reader 9.5.4

Files open as a blank in Adobe Reader 9.5.4MUI. It seems that some files if created on my computer will open, but others will not if coming from elsewhere such as the internet. My operating system is Windows 7

Is there a reason you haven't updated to 11.0.3?

When I open a pdf file, Firefox opens a blank window, then the file opens in a Adobe Reader window. How can I stop the blank window?

Whether I am using Firefox 3.6.8 or Thunderbird 3.0.6, clicking on a pdf file opens a new window. After a few seconds the pdf file opens in a separate Adobe Reader window. When I am done with that and close it, I still have to go back and close out the blank window. Got to be a configuration issue some place. I have tried several settings under Tools/Options, but haven't found the right setting yet. Any suggestions?

Thank you very much for the reply. I followed your instructions. This fixed half of the problem. Links to pdf files that are on web pages now come up with a box that asks if I want to open or save the file, without a blank browser window in the background. That is great.
When I tested the fix with pdf file links in email, the problem still exists. I tested links in Outlook Express, Yahoo mail, and Gmail. Any time I click on a pdf link in an email, a blank Firefox window opens and then I get the small window that asks me if I want to open or save the file. Sounds like this is a configuration issue, not a technical problem. Thanks for your help.

Photoshop CS4 error since Mavericks when open file from Server: "file is empty"

Since I upgraded to Mavericks I can't open files directly from a Server (smb://..), it says "file is empty". When I copy the PSD file to my local drive I can open it though. I tried already to remove the server and reconnect. I'm using the CS4. Any idea how to fix that?

My solution from another thread:-
Hello - I recently upgraded to Mavericks and have experienced a number of problems, one of which matches yours, and after some experimentation found a solution.
Like you, whenever I tried to open a file held on the server in any Adobe software, I would get an error that the file is empty. However, if I copied the file to my desktop, it would open without issue. i then noticed that the server name, which has a space in it, had %20 instead of a space, which drew me to the conclusion that Mavericks was reading the server incorrectly. I ejected the mounted server icons, and then click 'Go', 'Connect to Server', and reconnected. The server reconnected (and this time that space was restored) and I could open all of my files without issue.
Hope this helps

Firefox on Ubuntu Linux won't open PFD files (opens blank tab)

Running Firefox in Linux (Ubuntu 13.04).
When I click on any file (or email attachment) that is in PDF format, Firefox opens a blank tab and will not display contents.
I saw a similar question for Apple PCs but it doesn't work on Linux and neither does the Windows fixes. This has only begun with the last udate to Firefox.
Unfortunately like most people, I did the dumb thing and update then went nuts loading add-ons so it could be an add-on and not just the update.
The same issue is occurring on thre PCs (AMDS and Intel) - one on Mint and the rest on Ubuntu

Problem solved - it was caused by an add-on called "PDF Download 3.0.0.2)
To fix - in Firefox :
Click on '''Tools''' command (top of screen)
Select '''Extensions'''
click on "'''disable''' button beside '''PDF Download'''
Close Firefox and restart it.
Clicking on any pdf file should open a new tab now and the document will appear there.

When I have a pdf file open, I used to be able to click on "Bookmarks" tab on left side and allow me to click on each individual page and delete if I needed to. Now when I click on the Bookmarks tab, that section is empty. How can I get it to show each

when I have a pdf file open, I used to be able to click on "Bookmarks" tab on left side and allow me to click on each individual page and delete if I needed to. Now when I click on the Bookmarks tab, that section is empty. How can I get it to show each page again?

Hi chrismarks1,
I think you may be confusing bookmarks with thumbnails. If you click the Page Thumbnails icon (the one above the Bookmarks icon), then you can delete a page by clicking its thumbnail, and clicking the Delete Pages icon (the trashcan icon). Just make sure that you're viewing the PDF file in Acrobat (rather than Acrobat Reader), as you can't delete pages from Reader.
Best,
Sara
