HELP! Can't import or open ai & pdf in Fh10

I have Freehand10 in XP home 2002 Sp2. It used to be on my
old computer that had XP Pro 2002 Sp2.
When I try to open any pdf file (old or new version, none of
them works), I only get a blank page with nothing on it. Even if I
have just made the pdf myself. Importing pdf does not work either.
And when I try to import or open ai file (even if I have just
exported it from a Freehand file), I only get a rectangle with
cross, and the info window says it is eps.
The same Freehand version in my old computer did show the
pdf's and ai's, and I looked that all the preferences are the same
in this one. What the h*** is wrong with this?
I already removed the Fh10 from this computer, restarted, and
installed it again, but the problem persists. There is no help in
any troubleshooting or other support pages, and you may guess that
I have googled, and googled, and googled... Please help me before I
have pulled all the hair out of my scalp!

I didn't know Steve was writing code these days...
thanks for posting your solution.

    MAC OSX version 10.4.11 and I can't seem to open any PDF
    I'm having this problem as well. I have both Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 and Adobe Reader 8.1.2 installed with the proper internet plug-in, using OS 10.4.11. When I try to open a pdf file in Safari I get a window asking me to choose an application to open the file, but both applications are dimmed and cannot be selected. I have tried re-installing Acrobat Reader, but without success. In Firefox I simply get a blank, darkened window. __Previously, before I installed Leopard and was using Tiger, I had Acrobat Reader 7.0 as well as AR 8.0 installed, and I was only able to select AR 7.0, but it worked. Now nothing works. This is a serious problem that Adobe needs to address!

  • Adobe Reader XI won't launch, can't download or open existing PDF files.

    Running Windows 7 and have had no trouble with PDF files until few weeks ago.  Now Adobe Reader Xi won't execute and I can't download or open existing PDF files using Adobe.  Interesting that I can open existing PDF files unsit PaintShop Pro X4 but not in Adobe.  Have unistalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader XI several times with no change in problem.

    You can try using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement

  • Can I import and open raw files on the new photo app?

    Hi,
    Can I import and open raw files on the new photos app on my ipad?  Does it convert it to jpeg automatically when you want to share them?
    Thanks.

    Clem is telling you to click on the View menu, move the pointer down to the item "Metadata," & from its choices make sure "Show Titles" is selected. Do this, then make sure you are in a view in the main window that shows one or more videos (or whatever) that you want to title. Click once on one of them, & if the separate Info window is not open, open that (on the Windows menu or command + i as a keyboard shortcut). In the Info window the top line will be "Add a Title."
    Click once on that & type your title.
    This works for any item, video or photo.

  • Need Help - Can't Import ANY Images into LR4.4 Since OS Upgrade

    I can't import ANY images to LR 4.4 since upgrading my Mac OS to Mountain Lion 10.8.3 this past week. I downloaded LR5 Beta and all works well. I deleted LR5 Beta to see if it was conflicting with LR4.4 somehow and rebooted. Still no change. I can't import from my card reader (that says it can't even read the files) or from a location on my hard drive. I am beyond lost and frustrated.
    The error message for importing is "Could not copy a file to requested location."
    I need ideas. I am afraid to deleted and reinstall as I don't want to lose all my folders within. I looked all over the web and can't figure it out.
    If you need any other info, please let me know. I am hopeful that someone can help me.

    I added LR5 again and that works perfectly, but LR4 is still not working properly. I opened the preferences and catalog settings to compare...and they all look the same. I am beyond baffled. I don't plan on dropping more money for LR5, so I need LR4 to get back to working properly.

  • Help: can't seem to open my iphoto library

    it's a large file sitting on a external hard drive
    renamed the hard disk (it had a long name and I have a few drives now)
    but then iphoto said it couldn't find the library
    the files are still there (I right clicked and all seems good)
    but I can't seem to open the photos no matter what I do?
    any ideas?
    also, in my transition to 08 some files have gotten the exclamation mark treatment. now I think I have the files in earlier backups but is there a way to search for files that have this problem so that i don't have to go through the collection of 10000 shots one by one and then replace them?

    If you want to keep the new names, launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, locate the library on the external HD and select it. That should get you back up and running.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • HELP Can't import my photos

    I purchased an external hard drive not too long ago as my hard drive was reaching capacity. I dumped all of my Iphoto library onto it to free up as much aspace as possible. I upgraded to iLife 06 on my computer shortly thereafter. After freeing up an even more significant amount of space, I purchased aperture with intentions of reimporting my images. Direcly trying to import from the external brought up a message saying it wasn't possible as they were from the wrong version of iPhoto. I tried importing all the files again and upon doing so the images were uneditable. Double-clicking on them opens the editing window, but an exclamation point replaced the picture. This aparently also means I can't import them into aperture. Somebody please tell me I didn't lose 8,000 images.

    To read those images I'd say the only way is installing the iPhoto version you had before. Then try to read those photos from iPhoto. If it works, upgrade to the new iPhoto.
    After you've done that, I'd move the Aperture Library to the external HD, then launch Aperture and in Preferences point to the new Aperture's Library. Restart the program and import the photos within iPhoto to Aperture. After you've done that, you can delete the iPhoto Library if you are not going to use it again and move the Aperture's Library to your mac's hd.

  • RH8 error:  Can't import word document or PDf

    I just upgraded from RH7 to RH8.  I am running Win7 64bit.   I also opened RH HTML, which is what I used in RH7.  I have a relative small project and I am trying to import a new word document into the current project.  I am now trying to upload a word document.  When I first open the current project, RH8 asked me to convert to new format and I clicked yes.  Here are my steps to upload a word document: 
    click on file
    Click on Import Word Doc (I've tried Microsoft Word 2010, Microsoft Word 2007, Adobe PDF 9)
    The Content Setting popup comes up; I've clicked Next.

    Thank you for any help you can give.

    Hey,
          Sorry for the delay in response. We would like you to kindly verify a few things:
    Are you facing the issue consistently with any word doc you try to import?
    Is this browser specific? Please try the same with any browser other than the one you have already tried with. If so kindly report the browser and its version info
    Is this system specific? If yes please include the information of the OS and it's version.Have you tried the same from a different machine.
    The flash player version you are currently using?
    Hope these  n questions don't seem overwhelming but this would be really helpful for us in isolating the issue. Thanks for the patience.
    Regarding your other question: All the following documents are free form documents as of now , with no special formatting:

  • HELP- Can't Import My Classes

    I've just recently gotten into Java development and have been able to make very basic programs?if you could call them that. To basically introduce myself to Java programming, I thought I'd create a simple tab-based text editor (think Microsoft Notepad with the ability to edit multiple files at once). I've created a basic menu bar class file, a tab-based editor pane/window class file, but am having trouble with the class file I'm using to incorporate the two together. I've had Steven Haines' Java 2 from Scratch at-hand for a week or two now (up to date, no; useful to a degree, yes) and have designed the application with a structure similar to the app in the book.
    The structure of the main class file:
    import java.lang.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.event.*;
    import menuBar;
    import jPad;
    public class jNotepad extends JFrame implements ActionListener
    menuBar menu=new menuBar();
    jPad jNote=new jPad();
    public jNotepad()
    super("JNotepad v1.0");
    setJMenuBar(menu);
    menu.addActionListener(this);
    jNote=new jPad();
    getContentPane().add(jNote,BorderLayout.CENTER);
    setSize(600,300);
    setVisible(true);
    addWindowListener
    new WindowAdapter()
    public void windowClosing(WindowEvent closer)
    System.exit(0);
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent performed)
    JMenuItem item=(JMenuItem)performed.getSource();
    if(item==menu.fNew)
    System.out.println("File->New");
    else if(item==menu.fOpen)
    System.out.println("File->Open...");
    else if(item==menu.fClose)
    System.out.println("File->Close");
    else if(item==menu.fCloseAll)
    System.out.println("File->Close All");
    else if(item==menu.fSave)
    System.out.println("File->Save");
    else if(item==menu.fSaveAs)
    System.out.println("File->Save As...");
    else if(item==menu.fSaveAll)
    System.out.println("File->Save All");
    else if(item==menu.fPrint)
    System.out.println("File->Print");

    else if(item==menu.eCopy)
    System.out.println("Edit->Copy");
    else if(item==menu.ePaste)
    System.out.println("Edit->Paste");
    else if(item==menu.eDelete)
    System.out.println("Edit->Delete");
    else if(item==menu.hContents)
    System.out.println("Help->Contents");
    else if(item==menu.hAbout)
    System.out.println("Help->About");
    public static void main(String[] args)
    jNotepad jNotepadv10=new jNotepad();
    For some reason or another, whenever I try to compile the java file into a class file, it gives me an error stating that I need periods after the "import menuBar" and "import jPad." Then if I add the periods and recompile, it says I need identifiers after the periods, so I add asterisk identifier masks and recompile again just to be told the packages menuBar and jPad do not exist. I can't go any further with my program until I resolve this issue. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    use package For example pjb is my initals. I like to have top package of all my programs.
    At the top of the java file of NotePad.java, should be
    package pjb.apps.NotePad;Make sure that java file and compiled class file is in that directory
    \pjb\apps\NotePad.java
    \pjb\apps\NotePad.class
    \pjb\apps\Calculator.class
    Ok Now with your imports do the following. A made up JOS program requires apps to use.
    \pjb\os\jos.java
    \pjb\os\jos.class
    In the jos.java i have
    import pjb.apps.*;
    ...jos coding
    public void showAppCalculator() {
      Calculator josCalculator = new Calculator();
      josCalculator.show();
    ...jos codingAnother example is I just want NotePad imported
    import pjb.apps.NotePad;
    ...jos coding
    public void showAppNotePad() {
      NotePadjosNotePad = new NotePad();
      josCalculator.show();
    ...jos codingor make sure the the classes are all in the same directory as your application program.
    See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/interpack/index.html
    for more details about packages.
    Hope it helps :)

  • How can I launch or open a pdf from the Web using Reader X?

    Before I upgraded to Adobe Reader X, I could click on a file to download from the web and it would give me the option to Open, Save or Cancel. Now that I have upgraded, I only have the option to Save or Cancel. Often I would rather Open the document to see it before deciding to save it or not. Is there a Setting or Preference somewhere that will bring back the Open option? btw, I'm using Windows 7 as my OS.

    ImagineThat:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There is a 3rd party application, pdf-RecoverPro, that will let you lock the file to printing, changing, etc. You set two passwords, one to let the user view it and one to unlock the restricted features. Just provide the first password and send the file. You can try the demo version. It just saves one page in demo mode.
    Do you Twango?

  • Help: Can't import old imovies from external drive unless I save on iMac

    Forgive me, I have read the similar questions in this forum, but I still need help.
    I made a great number of movies using the old imovie HD, and then saved all of them on my external hard drive. When I open up imovie 08 and look at the event library, it lists my hard drive with that yellow warning triangle and exclamation point on it (What does that mean?). Naturally, the old movies don't show up, so I try to import them manually. When I do, the new movies get imported on my imac. Is there any way for the imported movies to remain on the external drive? And should I be worried about the warning triangle? I should add that the external drive is a "My Book" that was originally used on a PC, and has also been used on my imac for the last 12 months with no issue.
    Thanks to all for your help.

    +I should add that the external drive is a "My Book" that was originally used on a PC+
    Then it is probably still formatted as a FAT partition, which has file size limitations that make it unsuitable for storing movies. You can check with "Disk Utility". For best results when used exclusively on a Mac, you should convert it to the Mac Journaled HFS file system with Disk Utility. The conversion will erase anything currently on the drive, so you will have to temporarily move the contents to another location.

  • Newbie help Can you import multiple ppro projects to encore

    Hello, I'm using CS4 and I have several seperate projects that I have worked on in Ppro.  I want to create a DVD that shows one of the projects upon start up.
    I then want to have menu options that will allow the viewers to select my other seperate projects and watch those videos.  Is this possible, or do I have to combine all of my little projects into one BIG project and do something.
    Please advise......I am very confused.

    I will for sure be in that forum.  So just to clear things up for me.
    I have done the dynamic link thing and it brings in my videos as Sequences/timelines like you guys said.
    The problem i was having is when I opened a different project in Ppro, i would go to dynamic link and it would open a different encore screen.  It would not import into the current encore project i was working on.
    Can I not do a dynamic link for the second, third, and 4th projects I want to bring into Encore with my first project?  Maybe that is my problem.....but i couldn't figure out how else to import these projects other than the dynamic link button.
    I will continue to play around with it, and will look for the bins you have told me about.
    If there is anymore help you could give, i would appreciate.
    thanks a ton.

    The PDF contains about 10 or 11 images.
    Its not possible to upgrade right now due to Corporate Policy.
    WinXP using 8.2.4, tried to disable all plugins, disable all image related preferences - no help - it must be base functionality that just does not like this PDF.
    Opens fine and scrolls fine in 7,9 and X.
    Any ideas? Its a major problem....

    often I can't see the attachement and so impossible to see anything !
    BUT when opening the mail on a Mac OS everything is ok

    I reccomend that you download the Adobe Reader app (It's Free) then when selecting the PDF in mail you can do an open in... and select Reader.
    You can do the same in ibooks if you already have that installed or as alternative to Adobe Reader
