Gradient doesn't show up in illustrator CS3 from PDF

Hallo,
In the last week I got 2 different PDF files I opened in Illustrator CS3, and the gradient object wasn't showing at all. I checked the transparency, it's 100%.
Both files were made in InDesign CS4. When I open the PDF in Acrobat Reader, It's showing the gradient.
Anyone who has a solution for this problem?

Both files were made in InDesign CS4.
ID gradients or not the same as AI, even more so, since even the AI gradient tool has considerably changed in CS4. The PDF probably shows the flattened version, but since there is no native AI data, there is nothing to reconstruct an editable gradient or blend to get the same in AI. Nothing you can do. you may get it to import as a bitmap by running it through Acrobat's flattening, but that is as good as it gets IMO.

Music player in iPhone doesn't show cover of album, downloaded from itunes

I bought an album on iTunes and downloaded it on the iPhone (without program). The music player program doesn't show the album cover. I see it in iTunes program on computer, but don't see it in iPhone. Deleted album from iPhone, uploaded it again, using iTunes program. Nothing changed.

I do not know what the intention is to open and run command prompt on iphone. Lovely picture, BTW, thank you.
Apple created iphones and ipads the way that windows explorer or OS can only read and manage one folder. DCIM
folder that contains your pictures on the phone. Only the pictures made by you, nothing else. So anything you trying to accomplish in command prompt is not going to happen.
If you read somewhere that you need to right click to back up your phone or transfer purchases or restore you need to be looking on the other screen in that article. Look at how to back up instructions here. They have step by step.

How do I stop Illustrator CS3 from continually stealing file associations?

Since moving from CS2 to CS3 I've been plagued with a file association problem. Every time I run Illustrator CS3, it steals the file association for .FLT files (this didn't happen in CS2). .FLT files don't appear in the Bridge so I can't do anything about it there. Problem is that .FLT files have been around since 1990 and are used by a 3D modelling package. Now Illustrator keeps trampling the file association and I can't figure out how to stop it. The .FLT files I've used for the past two decades are NOT Illustrator filters.
Anyone got any bright ideas? At the moment I have a registry hack sitting on my desktop that I have to run each time I close Illustrator.
C.

Ok here's the solution to this.
It turns out that Illustrator deletes and resets the .flt file extension key and the Adobe.Illustrator.Filter key every time it is run. Removing registry permissions for system didn't work, neither did removing them for owner/creator.
It seems that the change happens as "me" - the person logged on. As I'm an administrator anyway, I was able to remove all rights for every user (including me) except administrators, and then change the administrator rights to allow everything except set and delete.
So the .flt file extension key is essentially locked down completely now, and the problem is solved. However as the owner of the key I can still get in and change the set/delete flags if I ever need to change it again.
Thanks to Harron for giving me the hint on the right way to pursue this.

Can't Copy and Paste into Illustrator CS3 from Firefox 3!

I read these things all the time, but first time posting, so you KNOW this problem is annoying me.
I could always copy and paste from Firefox 2 into Illustrator CS2/CS3. However, once I upgraded to Firefox 3 I no longer can! I get the annoying "Quicktime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture." I can't believe more people aren't complaining more about this. Save your time posting about "Illustrator is a vector program, and Photoshop is pixel based," I know I have been able to do it before so that is not the issue. Any light that could be shed on the situation would be great! Thanks in advance.

I found that FF3 originally renamed .jpegs to the JFIF format when draging and dropping to the desktop, and it was not until March when the code was finalized that that you could drag and drop to your desktop without the conversion. You get around the illustrator CS3 problem a number of ways...drap and drop to the desktop and then to illustrator CS3, Drap and drop to photoshop CS3 and then to Illustrator CS3 or save as to the desk top, or use an older version of Firefox. I am currently tyring to determine if the JFIF renaming issue is what is preventing the direct drag and drop to Illustrator, and if there is a fix for issue. Any help out there or ideas would be helpful.

Dot in Open Directory username prohibits Illustrator CS3 from starting up

Hi
We have a large Open Directory on a MacOS X 10.4 Server. The clients uses OD and Network Home on their Computers.
We used CS2 whit out any problems. But now we have upgraded to CS3. The problem is that Illustrator won´t start up. I have isolated the problem to the dot we use in the shortname on the OD-users. Testusers whit out the dot works fine, and local users whit a dot works!..
So, OD users whit dot is the problem...
Anyone got a workaround for this?
It´s to many users to change the shortname. And the OD is used by our mailserver to, so changing shortname is not an option.. :(

Sounds like a question that might do better being explored in a forum that focuses on O.D., rather than one which is about Illustrator.
Just a thought...

Bridge 5.4 doesn't show thumbnails of .CR2 files from Canon 50D

I downloaded bridge5.4 now my CR2 files taken from my Canon50D are not loaded as thumbnails in Bridge, the drop down menu displayed when clicking on them does not show the "Open in Camera Raw fundction". What should I do?

If after purging the cache and rebuilding it and camera raw still does not work it either means the current version does not support the camera (if new camera), you have the ACR file in the wrong folder, or there is more than one version in the folder.
Open up PS and click on help/about plug-in/camera raw. It will tell you what is there.

When I go to export a document, there is no longer a drop-down bar with export options. I can save as a PDF, but not as an IDML or anything else. What am I missing?

MAC Adobe Illustrator CS3 cannot be installed because it conflicts with Adobe Illustrator CS3

Model Name:iMac / Processor Name:Intel Core 2 Duo / Memory:4 GB
When I installed Illustrator CS3 at the first time, I didn't complete it and closed it. While I installed it again, it said "Adobe Illustrator CS3 cannot be installed because it conflicts with Adobe Illustrator CS3". I was be stopped on this step, so I deleted the Illustrator CS3 from Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers without clicking it to uninstall. And I deleted other Illustrator CS3 files. After that, I tried to reinstall Illustrator CS3 again, but it kept to say "Adobe Illustrator CS3 cannot be installed because it conflicts with Adobe Illustrator CS3".
I cannot find any Illustrator in my MAC. What is wrong? How can I install Illustrator again? Should I format the computer and install all the applications again?

On the Adobe site probably under support do a search for Adobe CS 3 Clean Up Script.
Before running the script read the instructions al the instructions first, do not assume you understand from reading the first sentence. There are some files that are not so obvious that are necessary for activation and they are probably still around but they can only be removed by the script.
Next time you will have to read the instructions.
The only other ways around this is the do an archival reinstall of your system or if that does not work a complete reinstall of your system. Running the script is the easier and better way to do this but you must read the instructions completely first.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Gradient with stroke problem Illustrator CS3

We make a gradient object in Illustrator CS3 and give it a stroke which is centered. Then we rotate the object and the gradient rotates with the object.
But then when we put the stroke alignment to inside or outside the gradient fails. It shows the gradient in the original 0-position instead of the angle we have created. When we put the stroke alignment back to center the gradient shows as we meant it to show again.
When stroke alignment is on outside or inside before we rotate the object it shows the same problem.
But when I copy an object from CS2 with an angled gradient and a inside or outside aligned stroke. The problem isn't there. When we start copying the object within CS3 the problem shows again (not when I use alt-key to copy, but with ctrl+c and then ctrl+v, ctrl+f or ctrl+b).
Illustrator CS2 didn't have this problem. But now in CS3 we have it. I used to have this same problem in old versions from Macromedia Flash. But I never had it with Illustrator.
Is this a bug or do we need to handle our gradients in a different way when using Illustrator CS3?

It's a memory issue. If you scale your artwork down (say, to 50%), then save, it should work (it can be scaled up in the page layout software). If you're using raster effects you'll have to make sure they scale as well and that your raster effects resolution is appropriate for the final output size.

Illustrator cs3 will not show placed .psd files

I changed my computer to a vista based operating system and installed my creative suite 3. Everything was working fine but recently I am having challenges getting illustrator cs3 to show placed .PSD files. They appear to import but do not display. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue would be helpful. I already tried a repair/reinstall of illustrator but that did not work. I can place .psd images into In Design so I am not sure why illutrator is not allowing .PSD files to import and display.

Harron K. Appleman wrote:
Did you upgrade to 64-bit Vista by any chance?
Are your PSD images 16-bit by any chance?
The problem with this scenario is that since Illustrator, any version does not support 16 bit psd files and CS 3 and 4 will place the file anyway but give you a notice that it is placing it as 8 bit. So unless there is something about Vista XP or W7 64 bit that prevents Illustrator fro converting then that is probably not the issue. And though the warning says it flattens it will preserve a transparent background.
So it might be a different issue.

Fonts NOT showing up in Illustrator but are in Fireworks (CS3)

Hi,
I have the CS3 package and it works great. However, I have a load of fonts on my system that are not appearing in the fonts menu in Illustrator CS3. I checked if Fireworks CS3 was picking them up and it is...this is great, but why not in Illustrator??
I also checked Photoshop, and they don't show there either. This is really weird. These are only basic fonts like "Helvetica" etc.
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated on how to resolve this.
I am using Vista 64 and the CS3 suite.
Thanks again,
Mikey

Along with Mikey, I have a large number of fonts loaded but, when looking at them in the font list (with 'Preview' turned on), only about half of them actually display a font...the rest are blank. When I apply the 'blank' fonts to text, nothing appears. When I apply a functioning font that does show a preview, it looks fine. Maybe these are related issues?
