FW File; Roundtrip to Illustrator Issue

When roundtrip to Ilustrator and select the "Edit Original", the graphic opens in "Preview", not FW. The simple graphic (gradient with a drop shadow), is a stand alone FW png file. "Get Info" also confirms this.
How do I get this to file open (via Illustrator) in FW, as per the tutorial...?!!!
Thanks

BUG REPORT:
ISSUE: Roundtrip Workflow per Tutorial—Native Fireworks CS4 Files In Catalyst
Upon initiating the roundtrip from Catalyst (FC) to Illustrator (AI), I am presented with and dismiss the expected dialogue boxes as per tutorial. Upon initiating the "Edit Original" command in AI, it opens the ORIGINAL Fireworks file in my PREVIEW application, not Fireworks.
WORKAROUND:
In AI, use the "RELINK" (Upper left-hand corner) command to link with the original file. Once this is done, I am presented, once again, with the expected diaglogue boxes but now, the file opens as it was expected without this step, in Fireworks where I can make my edits.

    What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity.

    <moved from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>

    Illustrator is not working as it should...
    I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application. 
    Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
    Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
    That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
    Thanks...
    PS Do you know how to contact a staff adobe employer on the forums?

  • Is it ok in the long run to placing a RGB photoshop eps file into a Illustrator CS2 CMYK color mode

    Is it ok in the long run to placing a RGB photoshop eps file into a Illustrator CS2 CMYK color mode document ?
    I am using windows XP with Adobe Creative suite 2.
    In both Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Illustrator CS2 have the same color settings.
    If I take a RGB file that was created in Photoshop CS2 and place this file in a CMYK color mode document in Illustrator CS2, does this cause a problem for the output of the document ?
    If you look at the ''Document Info'' window you can now see that the RGB file is now a CMYK file. Is this a good working habit ?
    Thanks in advance. :)

    >Is it ok in the long run to placing a RGB photoshop eps file into a Illustrator CS2 CMYK color mode document ?
    Please explain why you would do such a thing? (Why RGB, and why EPS.)
    >If I take a RGB file that was created in Photoshop CS2 and place this file in a CMYK color mode document in Illustrator CS2, does this cause a problem for the output of the document ?
    Yes.
    You are working in CMYK mode presumably because your Illustrator document is destined for output on a PostScript device -- e.g., a printing press. That means that your RGB image will undergo a space conversion somewhere in the process, and the questions are when and how?
    The issue is compounded by the fact that Illustrator ignores color profiles embedded in EPS files by Photoshop. (Just another reason not to use EPS.)
    By performing the conversion yourself in Photoshop, you take control of the process and ensure predictable color.

  • Cannot open dwg files in Adobe Illustrator CS6  version 16.0.0

    No, not really.  I do get a few error messages when I start up now, but I had transferred everything from my old computer, so figured it was a glitch. The error message was a dialogue box like the others, only it said this:
    "Insecure start-up item disabled. Library/Startup Items/.DS_Store/ has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings."
    "Insecure start-up item disabled. Library/Startup Items/ES1000Service/ has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings."
    "Insecure start-up item disabled. Library/Startup Items/Parallels/ has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings."
    I know for sure we have not used Parallels in the past 2 years that I have been here.
    As for the other two star-tup items, I am not entirely sure what thier purpose is.
    Would any of these have anything to do with it?

  • Svg file different in Illustrator and GoLive

    Hi All
    as the title says Iam having an issue with text only svg files generated in Illustrator cs not displaying all formatting when placed in a page in goLive,
    namely, I have specified "small caps" for text which is being dropped when it gets to goLive...
    I have tried every combination of all glyphs and embedding while saving i can think of to no avail...
    anyone got any suggestions...
    cheers
    jb
    i tried uploading the files but got a "content not allowed" message

    If you don't see that option within the export to SVG function, then you can outline your special fonts in Illustrator before selecting the export to SVG function.

  • How do I find a file location of a file used by Illustrator?

    I am trying to load a keyboard shortcut file in Adobe Illustrator it should go in: Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/en_US but I cannot find the directory. If I save a kb file from inside Illustrator the file saves but I cannot find the location. Spotlight search retuens nothing? 
    I saved a manualy modified kb shortcut file and saved the changes with a new name.  I cannot find the new file that will have an extension of .kys but I have not been able to find it.  I am using OS X Lion 10.7.2 What am I doing wrong?

    Highlight the file in the search results and press the Command and Option keys down.  The location will appear at the bottom of the preview screen.
    Regards,

  • Unable to save a 'smallest size file' pdf from illustrator 5.5

    We recently insalled Adobe Standard 5.5
    I often save PDF files from Illustrator using the built in PDF options available from the PDF drop down menu bar when saving files. Usually I will save a visual as a 'smallest file size' or make use of the 'high quality print' option for other files etc.
    Why cant I do this on CS5.5?
    In addition, the colour is not acurate at all!
    Please help

    Hi Scott - I found the following thread on the net. So I had a look on my time machine back-ups and copied the files from there, which I then pasted into my Settings folder as you suggested.
    Ta da!! All working again!
    Any idea how I could restore these settings from a backup?
    Thanks!
    The PDF presets reside in Root/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/
    After I had installed 10.6.5, 6 preset files were removed from the Settings folder. The folder tree itself remained, it was just that some of the contents of "Settings" were deleted. I have fixed the problem by copying the deleted settings files from a backup.
    These are the files which were deleted:
    Smallest File Size.joboptions
    Press Quality.joboptions
    PDFX4 2008.joboptions
    PDFX3 2002.joboptions
    PDFX1 2001.joboptions
    High Quality Print.joboptions
    These files were not deleted:
    Standard.joboptions
    PDFA1b 2005 RGB.joboptions
    PDFA1b 2005 CMYK.joboptions
    Oversized Pages.joboptions
    Somebody at Adobe community support for Indesign directed me to restore these files from a backup, which solved the problem.

    Any warnings when opening the file?
    You might need to reset all warnings in preferences.
    Apart from that itlooks like your color management settings are set to convert into profile. This is absolutely not advisable.

  • Can I export InDesign files to Adobe Illustrator for editing?

    Can I export InDesign files to Adobe Illustrator for editing? I am not familiar with InDesign, but I am familiar with Illustrator.  I have CS6.  Hope someone can help.  I have a large Orientation Booklet that needs updating and do not have the time to get tutored in InDesign.

    No.
    The closest you’ll get is a PDF and Illustrator is not a general purpose PDF editor.
    Good luck.
