Fireworks loses filename when opening
I recently updated my Fireworks CS5. I'm not sure which build i'm on because the About will not open anymore. My main issue is when I open a saved file inside of Fireworks, it acts like its a new page and doesn't keep the filename. So everytime I save the page I have to do a save as and overwrite the original file. Is anyone else having these problems? It was working fine until I did the most latest update.
What's happening here is that Firefox sees the mime type for the application (application/msword) and identifies it as a Word document. However, FF doesn't recognize the new(ish) docx extentions, and appends the .doc .
Now, when FF hands the file off to Word for Word to open, Word only looks at the extension (.doc) and tries to open the file as if it were of the older format.
I don't experience this problem myself with the default settings after installation, I'm going to assume that something's been tweaked in your FF installation. I would recommend checking your settings in Tools > Options > Applications

Pagemaker line art loses quality when opened in ID
Hi,
I have a small booklet which I created some years ago in PageMaker 6.5. Each page is 11 x 17 inches black and white. I would like to redo some of the pages and create new ones in InDesign. I have at this point no significant experinece working with In Design.
Initially I was just hopeful to be able to print the old pages from InDesign since the computer with PageMaker is probably on limted time. When I try to open the PageMaker file they do open, but the line art illustrations which were "fine line" art of boat profiles turn into very crude looking art. They look like they were drawn with a crayon. Is there something that is controlling the quality of these illustrations when opened or imported? Is there any way to get back to at least the original quality that I see in PageMaker?
I'd like to have the original pages to at least use as a starting pong.
Thanks,
chuckHi
Thank you all for your help. I thought I'd post a short response to what I've since found out and a link that was helpful in doing so. As I said because of my lack of experience both with PageMaker and with InDesign I reslly didn't understand how the original PageMaker files were set up nor did I remember how I originally made them.
Searching, I found this link called "Processing Adobe Pagemaker Files for Conversion to Adobe InDesign". http://www.ideastraining.com/PDFs/ProcessingPgMkrFiles.pdf
It walked me through identifying what I had and how to correct it. It turns out that the page had a number of embedded graphics that had links that were no capable of updating for various reasons. A number of the graphics were also in .gif format which apparently InDesign didn't accommodate. So in trying to open these pages, InDesign dumped the original graphics and only left a crude tiff image which is what I was seeing.
I could try to salvage the sheets, but there are so many small problems that I think it's best to bite the bullet and just redo them. Going through the excercise with the help of the link above, however, 1) educated me in what I really had and 2) helped me to locate the original graphics which were on my computer but I didn't recognize. They were all clearly identified in the Links Manager. I simply didn't realize they had originally been linked. That at least allows me to find the original art then message or convert it as necessary in Photoshop or Illustrator.
I've made a template and now I'm just going to start one page at a time.
I just wanted to post the link above in the hopes it may help someone else.
Again thanks for the quick response and thoughtful replies to my question.

Fireworks CS6 crash when opening color palette
Fireworks CS6 has got to be the buggiest program I have used on my Mac.
The bug that is especially irritating is when I attempt to open a Color Palette, Fireworks immediately crashes ( this is before I even begin to navigate or select a color palette ).
I have been able to narrow this problem down to a Fireworks CS6 problem on my Mac as opposed to as simple program like TextEdit. I can open the color palette in TextEdit which adds it to the OS color palette library. From there I can use colors from the newly opened palette within Fireworks. It (FW) just can't do the opening of the palette.
Is anyone else able to open/add the color directly from FW CS6?

How stop firefox from adding "+" to the filename when open files
lets say I open a word.doc file.
Its filename is "file folder one.doc"
Firefox makes it "file+folder+one.doc"
it is very annoying - just started showing up and I cannot figure out how to turn off.
Please make it stop!!!You are opening a DOC file from disk into Firefox?
Do you see the spaces in the file name replaced with + characters in the address bar or somewhere else? -

Content of illustrator file is different when opening in and old cs version.
Hi all!
I have a very awful and urgent problem in my job right now, i design some advertisings that goes regularly from month to month, so some advertisings are just like the last month used but with some data changed.
My problem:
I have an illustrator file (.ai) saved and created in CS3 with pdf compability, outlines, and files linked and included on the same cd,
but when opening the same .ai file in another machine but with CS2 (the client's PC).. it shows a very old version of the file with ALL linked files embebbed (and those are different that are on the cd!!)., in the CS3 file i saved and recorded on cd i replaced all things of course and re-save it. I don't know what is wrong, but when i open it in another machine (i.e. a Mac) it shows the correct version of advertising. But not with the client's machine...
In my illustrator file, there is only text outlines and 2 psd. Each PSD have only 1 layer, 'cause they were flattened (thet are actually letters scanned).
So basically: My .ai file, created in CS3 in a Mac, seems totally different and embebbed when opening in CS2 in a PC.
I hope someone can help me with this urgent matter Thanks a lot everyone!!In regards to the illustrator file link not matching, there is nothing wrong with the .ai file., your problem is with the filenames on the linked images. Your linked images have the SAME EXACT FILENAME AS THE OLD ones connected to the clients machine. You need to break the link to the old bad files and re-establish them to your good files.
Use links palete Flyout menu >> link information to find the location of the images. Change the name of an enclosing folder, or some other method to break the link to old images. Relink to new images, by placing them next to the .ai file in the same folder, and open the .ai file. -

Error message when opening file
When opening a client's file and I keep getting the error "Adobe Muse will now shutdown. Assert: BackgroundImage is not loaded?" ...can this be fixed or am I in trouble? This is a very important client and if I have to redo their website from scratch it will most certainly lose us the account.
It does not give me this error with any other file.Can you send me a copy of your file at [email protected] and include a link to this thread? If it's too big for e-mail (>20 mb) you could use a service like SendThisFile, WeTransfer or Adobe SendNow.
Most of Adobe in North America is shutdown this week and I'll be away from my computer much of the day but will take a look at your file as soon as I can. -

Outlook 2010 gives error when opening a PowerPoint attachment.
Hi All,
We have several VIP employees that are getting the following error on all PowerPoint documents that come as attachments from Outlook.
I have researched and tried the following steps and verified these settings are already applied.
I did find a work around but not a fix and our security team will NOT allow me to change this setting however if I uncheck the setting all employees can open the outlook attachment.
Any other ideas on a fix for this if I am unable to uncheck Enable Protected View.Hi Matthew,
This is a perennial problem, here is a thread which has a deep discussion about this issue:

It looks like nobady really find a solution there, the only workaround is what you have found - change the protected view setting in Trust Center. You will lose some security by doing this but it seems to be the only solid solution currently. -
HELP - illustrator cs5 error message when opening cs3 files
Has anyone else had this issue? Do you know how to fix it.
I just bought and downloaded cs5. When opening Illustrator cs3 files I get an error message: "Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation."
Then it opens the file but I it is only line work (no fills, gradients, etc) and I can not do anything in the file. If I click an object the error message pops up again.
This is what it looks like in cs3.
This is how it displays in cs5
I cant find anything online about this issue. Also this occurs on all of my illustrator files, not just one.
any advice?

I think your system is also fine for running Adobe Illustrator CS 5 but of course you are running the system as well and a browser and e-mail client…and perhaps Adobe Photoshop or Adobe InDesign or Microsoft Word in which case I think there might be on occasion an out of memory issue and with a complex file you will lose your preview.
I have lost my preview as well on certain files and found that it usually is because I had trashed the preferences and forgot to set the scratch to a different disk other than the startup disk.
I have 16 GB of RAm and once in a while I still lose the preview. -
Illustrator file losing quality when opened in photoshop...please help!
Hello, If anyone could help me I would be so grateful, i really am struggling to the point of tears here!!
I have simple line drawings in illustrator (outlines of clothes) that I wish to open in photoshop to add colour and effects to.
When i have tried to copy and paste (as normal paste, smart object, pixels, path and shape layer) the quality is lost.
I have also tried to open or place the file in photoshop as a .psd, .ai , .pfd and still the quality is lost.
I have saved with different resolution settings too, but it always loses quality when it is opened in photoshop.
Is there any way for me to have a clear line drawing like it is in illustrator in photoshop? And how should I go about it?
Thank You so much to anyone who can help, I really am at my wits end with this!

Come on, Chris, I'm not buttoned up the back.
You told me last month when I complained about the poor quality of "paste as pixels" that Photoshop uses the raster in the clipboard so the raster must be poor and not Photoshop's rasterizing of vectors.
Re: Ps CS6 Problem: Incorrect rendering of pasted Adobe Illustrator vector objects
Now you say that Photoshop does not use the raster in the clipboard and does rasterize the vectors when "paste as pixels" is performed.
You can't have it both ways.
You've just confirmed what I said last month: Photoshop rasterizes the vectors even when pixels are present in the clipboard and "paste as pixels" is requested. Thank you. -
Images look fine in Bridge, but way off when opened in Photoshop
Not sure what I've done to my system, but am now having some color-management woes. I am using Photoshop and Bridge CS5.1, and for some reason, the color-management is not consistent between Bridge and PS... although it used to be until just recently. I am on a Mac Pro tower with a properly calibrated monitor (using an Eye One Pro), and all my other color-managed applications are behaving just fine, but I have this discrepancy now within Adobe where if I view an image in Bridge, it looks correct, but when I open that same image in Photoshop, it comes up way too light and desaturated. I have verified that a correct profile is embeded in each image, but this happens regardless of the source file. I have opened up grayscale images with a dot gain or gamma profile embedded, images with no profile embedded, sRGB and Adobe 1998 profiled images, and they all open up too bright. It seems like some kind of conversion must be happening, but I can't understand what that would be. Color Settings is set to preserve embedded and ask when opening for mismatches, but that's the same as it's always been on my system. I understand without a "suite" install, I cannot access the Creative Suite Color Settings dialog to sync color across multiple Adobe apps, but things have been fine for years between my PS & Bridge, so clearly I've done something wrong. It's also worth noting that RAW images in Bridge open up looking identical in the Photoshop RAW processing dialog, so somehow this is more related to TIFF, PSD & JPEG files.
I have used the Cocktail app for general system maintenance on my Mac, and in the dialog to delete old cahce files, I do recall it had an option to clear Color Sync cache (along with a bunch of other caches), so maybe that "clean up" somehow dirsupted my color matching abilities?
I was on CS5 when I noticed this problem, so I tried uninstalling that, downloading the slightly newer CS5.1 and re-installing, but the problem persists. Maybe the uninstaller app doesn't get rid of all the hidden support files, or maybe this is something else entirely? Have trashed prefs files and relaunched, still same problem.
Note how image on right is much lighter, shadows start to look posterized, colors lose saturation. Left is Bridge and Right is Photoshop. Screenshot done on calibrated monitor.
Thanks for any suggestions!Thanks for your reply. Screenshot of my Color Settings attached. These are the same settings I've been using for many years.
What's most interesting is your reminder to look at Soft Proofing. I normally only use that when prepping an image for print, and want to predict what different paper types will "do" to my image.,, i.e. matte paper has less d-max, etc. SO, My assumption was that Soft Proofing is normally in the OFF position unless I turn it on, and/or toggle it on-off with Cmd-Y keyboard shortcut one engaged. BUT, your assessment was spot-on, in that when I opened up the View > Proof Colors dialog, it was set to Working CMYK. Not sure why, how, or when that became the default.
In all my time years with Photoshop, I've never needed to worry about soft proofing being ON without my permission, so I'm unclear how this came about. I honestly don't even know what the default has been for all the time that this was not on my radar as being a problem, I only know that when I did opt to soft proof an image, I woulp open the Proof Colors dialog, choose the appropriate device-specific paper profile to simulate, and then turn it back off when done. It would make sense to me that the default display in PS should match the (hopefully calibrated) monitor as a starting point.
Several more screenshots below, experimenting with various Proof conditions. This one is a 16-bit Grayscale image, with my usual 1.8 Gray Gamma color space embedded. This was my first experiment, not knowing what the correct default should have been (or was for many years). My assumption was that proofing the same color space as the document (G 1.8 = G 1.8), there should be no visible difference, but in fact there is. The left image is open in PS being soft proofed to it's own G 1.8 color space, and it appears visibly brighter than the same image to the right in Bridge.
Now here's the same comparison, with Proofing set to G 2.2, which should be wrong, but visually looks like a much better match.
Next I tried a color image, with Document Profile as the proof condition. Again, the Bridge image on the right looks correct, the PS image on the left looks washed out by comparison.
Here is the same image comparison, now with Monitor RGB enabled (which pulls my current monitor profile as the device to simuulate). I'd say this is either perfect, or a much better match. This also makes sense and correlates to my suspicion that PS should be showing you things in your native monitor profile until you ask it to do otherwise with a custom soft-proofing scenario.
So now that I think I've figured it out, I leave the Monitor RGB as the device to simulate, close the image, and re-open the image just to be sure, and this is what I get...
Essentially back to the same problem. I verified that View > Proof Colors is still set to my Monitor RGB, but it's as if it's not really being applied. SO, I changed it so something else, and then changed it back, and then it looks correct... as if I somehow need to kick it and remind it to do what it's already set to do.
So, the short answer is THANK YOU for reminding me to look at the proofing setup, becasue no I at least have a kind of workaround and know where to look. The tricker part is to understand why the default doesn't really stick to the Monitor RGB (if that is even the correct place for it to stay set to), and how or why did i get off into Working CMYK in the first place, as that's not a setting I've ever used on purpose.
Thanks again,
Eric
