Illustrator CS6 has corrupted CS3, freehand files cannot be opened.

Have a computer with CS3 on it, which is used to open FH10 files.
However last week I installed CS6 on it and now I am unable to open FH10 files in CS3.
Uninstalled CS6, didnt work. Reinstalled CS3, didnt work.
So CS6 has aperently corrupted CS3. Does anyone have a solution?
Im thinking I might try a registry transplant from a computer with a fresh install of CS3.

In your Illustrator CS3 application folder, go to Plug-ins>Illustrator Format, do you still have the Reader for FreeHand.smrd plugin installed or did CS6 remove that?

  • Hi, I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. Any suggestions please?

    Hi, I reecntly purchased a Mac and the Pages App. But now I find that I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. It is visible in both the Pages Windows and under Recent Items but just will not open. Any suggestions please?

    Hi Colourdoodles,
    Maybe the document is corrupted. Can you open other Pages documents? Preview may open it. Right click (or control click) on the document in Finder and Open With > Preview.
    If that works, Edit > Select All, Edit > Copy. Then paste into a blank Pages document. Formatting may be messed up, but you will have editable text. Then Save (with a different name), close and see if you can open the new document.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS6 has stopped working on Windows 7

    I've seen a few posts about this and I stall haven't seen it stop or a fix that works.
    I use Illustrator any length of time (up and running just a few minutes till up for weeks on end) and as soon as I quit (either by File -> Exit, the X in the corner or Alt -> F4) it closes panels and after a bit pops up that "Adobe Illustrator CS6 has stoppped working.  Microsoft is looking for a solution to this problem."
    It saves the recently opened files.  All settings seem to save as I don't need to reset them.  But of course its worrisome.
    Note:
    Everything has been unisnstalled and reinstalled 3 times.
    All permissions have always looked okay.
    I have tried running it as Administrator and still have had it happen
    Illustrator has been the only program of all the ones installed to have this issue.
    Are  there any fixes I've missed?  I'm a cloud client so have expected a patch for a while now to come out fixing this, as I've updated Illustrator a few times since starting using CS6.
    In looking in logs the constistent error has been:
    Faulting application name: Illustrator.exe, version: 16.2.0.723, time stamp: 0x50bb3ee0
    Faulting module name: QtCore4.dll_unloaded, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4ffd8608

    Do you have any other suggestions of other things to look at/try?
    Edit: as a note, both Illustrator CS6 64bit and 32bit do this.
    And both have same error:

  • Publisher - pdf - "This file cannot be opened because it has no pages"

    Hi,
    I have a Publisher report which works fine as a single page when generated to pdf.
    I change the data model to give me multiple pages and insert the entire report content into a repeating frame which correlates with the header data that is definitely present for all records. ceteris parabus.
    I preview this in interactive mode - everything works okay.
    I preview this in pdf and I get the error; - "This file cannot be opened because it has no pages"
    This is on well formed XML with a very modest data set.
    Anyone have a fix or a pointer for this please??
    thanks,
    Robert.

    I am on a trial version of  InDesign in Creative Cloud and before I purchase need to know why and the files cannot be opened by others using CS6.  Isn't Cloud compatible with CS6 design software?

    Industry standard files such as JPEG are compatible with many brands/versions of programs
    Proprietary files such as those created by InDesign are often not backwards compatible, due to new features in newer program versions
    This is not unique to Adobe... MS Word DOCX files are not backwards compatible with earlier versions of MS Word

  • Numbers file created w new version of Numbers on my mac and then transferred  via Dropbox to my ipad: file cannot be opened by iOS version of Numbers

    Numbers file created w new version of Numbers on my mac and then transferred  via Dropbox to my ipad: file cannot be opened by iOS version of Numbers

    Hi Jocomo,
    That's correct. Dropbox does not handle Numbers 3.0 for Mac and Numbers 2.0 for iOS documents well at all. They will probably fix this.
    But why are you using Dropbox for this?  Numbers has built-in iCloud integration for the very purpose of syncing documents back and forth.  It's much easier than using Dropbox even if Dropbox could handle the new Numbers format.  And it's now quite reliable.
    To enable iCloud with Numbers on your Mac:
    In System Preferences>iCloud make sure you have Documents & Data turned on:
    And after clicking Options, make sure you have checked Numbers.app:
    On your iPad you need to make sure iCloud sync is turned on in TWO places:
      Settings>iCloud>Documents & Data>Numbers
      Settings>Numbers>Use iCloud
    If you have entered the right iCloud credentials on your Mac and iPad, Numbers will then sync back and forth. It's much easier than putting in Dropbox and then having to Open in... , etc.  You can of course still keep backup copies of your documents in Dropbox if you want.

  • I can no longer access a password protected Numbers file with the correct password. Error message only says the file "cannot be opened."

    I'm using Numbers version 3.2.2.
    Suddenly I cannot access my password protected Numbers file with the correct password. I have the correct password written down so I know I haven't made a mistake.
    The response box that pops up says that the file cannot be opened. There are no other options for me to choose from.

    Also, I tried to open it through an older version of Numbers but it sent this error message.

  • Project Standard 2013 'The File Cannot be Opened'

    I am using Project Standard 2013 and have been doing so since 2013. Last week it suddenly started coming up with the following error message when I try to save a project and update the associated shared resource pool:
    The file cannot be opened.
    Check that the file name and path are correct
    Check that the file format is recognized by Project
    Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project 2000 can't be opened.'
    I have only ever used this version, no earlier versions. I have tried to repair the application through the update/re-install process. 
    The projects save but do not appear in the resource pool unless both files are open. Some projects are still linked to the resource pool and show in it even if they are not open. This is now happening with all files when I try to save them. Sometimes it
    says:
    'The resource pool is read only, do you want to save a copy'
    Even if I click 'no' a copy appears which I can't close and I have to force quit the application.
    Help.

    I've also tried opening the resource pool read-write. That worked for about 5 minutes when saving projects. Now it won't let me save my project without saving the resource pool first. When I try to save the resource pool, I get the same error message:
    The file cannot be opened.
    Check that the file name and path are correct
    Check that the file format is recognized by Project
    Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project
    2000 can't be opened.'
