Illustrator error opening eps file exported from sketchup pro 8

When I attempt to use Illustrator CS6 to open an .eps file exported from Google Sketchup Pro 8 I get the following error message "the file is an unknown format and cannot be opened". If I try to place/link the file I get this message "can't place the illustration. Could not set a position inside the file." Any thoughts on why I'm having this issue? Is there an eps version compatibility issue I should be aware of?

Hi Mike. Here is the screenshot you requested.

Cannot open .mov files exported from FCP X 10.0.9

I am trying to export an H.264 version of a 422 file for use on Vimeo. When I go to my desktop and click on the exported file to check it I get a message that says the file type is unsupported.
Neither my old nor new Quicktime programs will open the file. I've also failed at directly uploading the clip to Vimeo.
I need help!
My operating system is 10.7.5, would this cause the error?
Thanks,
Tyson

Exporting from 10.0.9
I used the Share button and tried both "Master File" and "Export File" to save an H.264 version to my desktop.

Can't open a file exported from Quicken, in Appleworks 6.2.9 Spreadsheet:

n Quicken,
File Export gives 2 format choices - Plain Text; MS Excel.
choosing MS Excel results in file with .slk extension.
To open from desktop, Finder has no recommended applications.
from Choose Application, Appleworks 6 is not allowed.
TextEdit is allowed; produces a text file.
In Appleworks,
File Open, for SS type and All Available file formats, produces a listing
(like text file, not a SS); uses Textedit for some reason.
Open, for SS type and Excel Win 5 format, shows the .slk file available,
choosing Open causes Appleworks to quit; Try Again doesn't help.
Somehow, changed extension to .xls Appleworks still quits;
now what?? I could do this with an old version of Quicken and Clarisworks

Welcome to Apple Discussions jimeast
I don't have the option of exporting as other than a Quicken file type in Quicken 2005 that I can see. I'd suggest exporting as a plain text file. That should maintain the tabs between fields. You can then open it as a spreadsheet through the AppleWorks Open dialog or drag & drop the text file icon on a new, blank spreadsheet.

ERROR OPENING PDF FILES DOWNLOADED FROM INTERNET

I have a problem when I download a pdf file from Internet and I try to open in throughout Acrobat Reader. It appeared one error saying "The file path is not valid". What can I do?.

Hi there,
I found this can happen if the file does not download correctly. When this happens, simply try redownloading the file and wait until it has fully downloaded before doing anything else with the browser.
Does that work now?
If you want to thank someone for their comment, do so by clicking the Thumbs Up icon.

Problem opening excel files exported from Discoverer Plus 10.1.2.48.18

I can't open excel files (xls) exported from Discoverer Plus 10.1.2.48.18 when I enable macros. The application (Excel) hangs up.
Someone have any idea about this?
Thanks,
Diego

Hi Meifang
I did some more research and found a document on MetaLink 250820.1 that talks about Discoverer not being able to call Excel if Discoverer is running via an IP address instead of a qualified domain name.
The article talks about making Discoverer a trusted site in the Internet Options of IE. Here's the relevant info from the posting:
Workaround for MS IE (if necessary):
1. Open a new MS IE browser
2. Navigate to: Tools | Internet Options Security where you will see the Trusted Sites icon (green icon with a check mark)
3. Click the Sites button
4. Add the following: http://IP:port/
(where IP, port are the location of where Discoverer server is running)
5. Click the OK button
6. Click the OK button again
On my own PC, I was having a similar problem and I was unable to get Excel to launch. In the end I did this:
1. Open a new MS IE browser
2. Navigate to: Tools | Internet Options | Security where you will see the Local Intranet icon (computer icon against a globe)
3. Click the Local Intranet button
4. Click the Sites button
5. Click the Advanced button
6. Add the following: http://IP/ or http://website
(where IP or website are the location of where Discoverer server is running)
7. Click the Add button
8. Click the OK button
9. Click the OK button again
10. Click the OK button a third time
With this done, I made sure that my Explorer settings were correct by doing the following to ensure that a couple of settings for the .xls & .html file types are unchecked:
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Navigate to: Tools | Folder Options | File Types tab
3. Highlight the Extension XLS (or HTML)
4. Click the Advanced button
5. At the botton of the screen are three settings that use checkboxes. If either of the following two are checked, un-check them:
Confirm Open after Download and Browse in same window
6. Click the OK button
7. Click the Apply button
8. Re-boot the PC
After I did this I was successfully able to get Excel to open from within Discoverer.
Best wishes
Michael

Error importing opml file exported from iTunes

CS5 cannot open .idml file exported from CS6

I've seen this question before from people having problems with other versions of InDesign. I, too, am having an issue with plug-ins that do not allow me to open an idml file. I downloaded the script that verifies the version used to create the idml to be sure it really was made from CS6, not CS5.5. It's not an empty file as it is 3.3mb Interestingly, when the customer packaged the file it came up with no links. It's a 32-page document with lots of photos, graphics, etc. How it is possible that it would not have any links? Any suggestions short of having to upgrade to CS6 would be helpful. Thank you.

Hi Peter,
I'm guessing it might have been a network corruption problem. She brought in her laptop, we made another .idml file and loaded it to a USB stick, then transferred it to my computer. The file opened just fine. And yes, she had pasted all her images, so we have her collecting the bits and pieces for me to review and relink everything. I believe I have the patch, but will double-check. Thanks!

Getting message while opening PDF file exported from InDesign

Hi,
We have created an interactive PDF in InDesign. In this PDF we have created 15-20 pages which are link together and next previous button is provided.
We are using InDesign CS3 and PDF reader 9. PDF is exported for version 8 onwards. Exported PDF is working properly on our machine but our client is receving the following message on their machine if they try to open this PDF (they have PDF reader 8):
"Please Note: You cannot save a completed copy of this form on your computer. If you would like a copy for your records, Please fill it in and print it"
We have not used any kind of form in my PDF only internal page hyperlinks are given.
Attached screen shot is given for your reference.
Is there as way for remove this message so it doen not appear? I would really appriciate if anybody can help me out.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Deepika

Deepika,
The alert dialog your screen shot depicts will only display if there is some kind of form annotation present in a PDF that is not "Reader Enabled".
Look closer at your 'final' PDF.
A PDF, not "Reader Enabled", that contains any form annotations will, when opened by Adobe Reader,
result in the alert dialog that you mention. A "hard wired" default.
Note that the forms document message bar can be "off" by a selection in Adobe Reader / Acrobat Preferences.
Select the 'Forms' category. Select "Always hide forms document message bar".
Be well...

I can't open idml file exported from CS6 in Indesign 4 or 6.

I created an InDesign document in CS6 and saved it as an idml file to be able open it on another machine with CS4. Unfortunately I did not save a copy in indd copy in 6. I get a message "Adobe may not support this format, a plug in might be missing." any ideas welcome, otherwise I start over Thanks.

No luck? Did you get any message?
"Adobe may not support this format, a plug in might be missing." is normally opening if you try to open an INDD in a previous version. That's why I supposed that it might be an INDD file with the wrong extension.
If the file is not corrupted you should be able to open any IDML in CS6 but also in CS4.
If you have saved it with the wrong extension, you could try to replace the wrong extension with a correct one.
You write also HDML? Are you sure that it is also not a HTML file?

Open eps-files in evince

Hi everybody
For months I'm observing problems opening certain eps-files in evince (3.14.1-2), okular and similar. At the moment I've installed evince, and depending on the file it works more or less.
So if I open an eps-file created with latex using tikz, it seems to work without any error.
If I open an eps-file saved in matlab, most files open, but there isn't anything visible. In the console I don't get an error (e.g. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bm13jvtgqgq55 … .eps?dl=0)
If i open an eps-file exported from mathematica, most time evince just crashed, with either the error
undefined -21
undefined -21
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
or
undefined -21
undefined -21
(evince:20741): EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_misc_pixbuf_from_surface: assertion 'surface' failed
undefined -21
undefined -21
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
which is from this file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pznkke4a45cso … d.eps?dl=0 - even worse: most probably only creating the thumbnail lets evince crash, because if I afterwards open evince without a file, it crashes again, until I've opened some other pdf files directly.
What is the difference between those files? I found different things about the error in the last quotation, but this should be fixed in the newer ghostscript versions (and gs seems to work with all files).
Another thing is: Why is zathura able between differentiating between those files? It just does not list the files which would lead to an error ...
Has anybody an idea what could cause these problems?
Regards

You aren't doing anything wrong. The help files are out of date. Starting with PSE 11, adobe dropped support for many file formats, including EPS. If you have windows and an older version of PSE you can move the EPS parser plugin to PSE 12. This won't work on a mac.

Error opening KMZ files Photoshop CS3 Extended for Windows

I just installed PS CS3 Extended and tried to open a Google KMZ file and received the following error: "Could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse the file" I also tried creating a new document and insert a new layer from 3D file and received this error:
"could not complete the new layer from 3d file command because of program error"
My system is an HP Mobile Workstation w/Intel Centrino Dou proc., Nvidia Quadro FX 1600M running in Windows XP Professional
Any suggestions!

I have Google Earth pro ver. 4.3 along with Sketch up Pro ver. 6.4
Youre correct, I can open KMZ files exported from Sketch up which works fine. But it will not open a KMZ file created from Google Earth.
Hey Richard, when you get a chance, please upload a simple cube or object from Sketch up to GE . Then right click the model under the Temporary Places folder in the sidebar. Chose save place as then KMZ. Now see if you can open it from PS. Please let me know. Thanks, Pat

Error opening svg files Illustrator CC

Hi, I used to open and edit SVG files exported from HighCharts without any issue. I now get the following error when I try to open these files:
"The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [CANT]"
I'm not sure if it's related but this issue has only started since I ran the new updates for Adobe Premier, After Effects & Speed Grade.
I'm running OS X Mavricks on a Macbook Pro.
Anyone else having the same issue?

you probably miss a typeface used in the svg file, either:
- install the missing fonts
- take out the references to fonts using a texteditor (remove attributes like font-family="'Calibri'")

Can't open EPS files in Illustrator CS3 since installing CS6

I'm on Windows 7, and need to be able to open .eps files with Illustrator CS3. Since installing CS6 yesterday I'm no longer able to associate EPS files with Illustrator CS3. When I right click an eps and go to "open with", only Illustrator CS6 is listed. When I "choose default program", only Illustrator CS6 is listed. If I "browse" and manually select the Illustrator CS3 executable, it still defaults to CS6. Using the same process with .ai files works fine, there is no issue. However these .eps files are not behaving like .ai files. If anyone could suggest a solution to my problem I would be very grateful.
EDIT:
Also, attempting to set the default program through the "set associations" control panel doesn't work, after selecting the Illustator CS3 executable it still shows up as CS6.

Some research solved my issue. Need to create a registry entry for Illustrator CS3 (v13) in the eps file extension section of the windows 7 registry.
1. Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.eps\OpenWit hProgids
2. Create a new "binary value" key called "Adobe.Illustrator.13" (leave the value blank).
That's it. CS3 is now a valid choice for eps files. Hope this helps anyone who has the same issue.
