Illustrator files aren't previewing properly in Bridge CS3

I have used bridge for ages and have never had this problem before. However I recently had to reinstall CS3 design suite and now illustrator files wont preview properly - they appear really small and instead of previewing just the art board (as it used to), it previews everything on the document including all the extraneous information I have on my specs layer that I don't need to see. I have looked through all the preference panels and can't find any way of changing this. Help would be gratefully appreciated!

Check your Acrobat Page Display settings in Preferences. They may be set different than the Windows computer. Look at the settings in the "Rendering" area.

  • Don't have permission to delete files in Preview or Adobe Bridge CS3

    Help!
    I'm unable to delete image files in Preview or Adobe Bridge CS3.
    Workflow:
    1. Take a bunch of photos on my Nikon
    2. Load them to my MacBook Pro, 10.6.3
    3. Open them in Preview and right-click "Move to Trash" on the photos that I don't want.
    ==> this results in "Move to Trash Failed. Some files could not be moved to Trash."
    4. If I open the bunch of photos in Adobe Bridge CS3 and command-delete the photos that I don't want
    ==> I get "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient permissions."
    I am logged in as the same user who loaded the image files.
    Permission on the image folder start out at
    me: Read & Write
    admin: Read only
    everyone: Read only
    but even if I change all to Read & Write, I still get the same errors.
    What's going on?????
    Thanks.

    Did you ever figure this one out? I'm having the same issue...

  • No longer able to open Illustrator files when in Review mode in Bridge.

    No longer able to open Illustrator files when in Review mode in Bridge.
    This used to work in CS5.
    Control click the focused image (at front). Near the bottom of the contextual menu select 'Open' and nothing happens.
    Anyone else having this problem?
    Note: Files can be opened from the regular grid mode in the Content Panel.
    Preference File Type Association is correct ai=Illustrator CS6

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened. The Ask toolbar can be installed as part of Foxit.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Raw file thumbnail and preview problem in Bridge

    When downloading raw files from my new Nikon D3, Bridge generates thumbnails that are a fixed size and the preview panel only shows a thumbnail as opposed to enlarging the image to fit the preview panel. Thumbnails and Preview still work fine with jpegs. My versions of CS3, Bridge and Version Cue are up to date, I believe.
    Thanks...

    Three things:
    • You need to make sure you have updated to Photoshop 10.0.1, Bridge 2.1.1.9 and Camera Raw (ACR) 4.6.
    • You need to purge the cache for the offending folders through the Tools menu in Bridge.
    • You need the Bridge forum:
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/bridge/bridge_macintosh?view=discussions&start=0#
    Please post there if you need further Bridge help.
    Raw files from the D300 are not supported by the old, obsolete version of ACR that gets installed by default by CS3.  What you're seeing now is the embedded JPEG preview only, not the converted raw.   That's why you have to upgrade to ACR 4.6

  • Illustrator files opening as Preview

    Hi,
    I just updated to the Snow Leopard operating system on my mac, and all of a sudden when I click on an Illustrator file, I get a preview...it doesn't open thru Illustrator. How can I fix this? Thanks!

    Select an AI file and do a Get Info (Cmd-I). In the resulting windowm change the "Open with " dropdown to Adobe Illustrator, then click Change All to reassociate the files with AI.

  • Images not previewing properly in Bridge CS4

    I just did a reformat & reinstall of my whole system. I opened Bridge to get back to work and none of my images will preview accurately in Bridge. They just show as horizontal and vertical pixelated representations of the image. I did not have a problem with Bridge until after the reinstall. Anyone have any ideas?
    System details: Dell Dimension 8250 (I know, it's a dionsaur, but it works...for now), Windows XP Pro SP3, 1.5gb ram, Intel P4 3.06GHz HT
    Thanks, Dana

    Hi Dana,
    Which settings are you considering and what are the performance issues?
    You can optimize for certain workflows that will adjust processor intensive work, such as only generating large previews when displayed. If you're strictly talking about video card accelerated features, I think it's more a matter of On or Off as opposed to performance tuning. I just did a quick look and with video card acceleration enabled, in Full Screen Preview you can pan the image at magnifications much smoother.

  • RAW (.cr2) files only display as icons in Bridge CS3?

    Hi
    Can anyone help please to help get my thumbnails back in Bridge CS3?! They used to show okay, but for a while they haven't. It just a pain when trying to sort through shots I've taken in RAW!
    Weirdly, they show fine on my home Mac, but on my work Mac I just get the icon – but both are running the same software (CS3), just different OS versions (10.6 at home, 10.4 at work - which shouldn't make a difference?). They also won't show in the preview pane when you select it – you have to open it to see it.
    I've updated to the most recent CR plug-in that CS3 willl allow, purged the thumbnail cache... nothing working so far. Other files show up fine. I've looked at the other posts, but most of those seem to be CS4/5, and remedied by the plug-in update...
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!
    Ben

    Okay! Fixed now... after a little more digging, it turns out I wasn't putting the CR plug-in into the root folder....
    Schoolboy error....
    Thanks anyway!

  • Why can't DW CS5 see jpgs, new files in website root folder in Bridge CS3?

    Help!  Upgraded to DW CS5.  Web site done in DW CS3, used PS3 and Bridge CS3 for photo prep etc. Root folder is  in Bridge CS3.  I tried to use "Place"  to DW CS5- but Bridge opens DW CS3 instead, even with page open in DW CS5. (Have deactivated DW CS3 in associations.)   New pages,files and additions are "invisible" to DW CS5.  Why?
    Before the upgrade,files in the root folder in Bridge were listed and  immediately available to DW on Local and Remote.   (Mac OS X10.5.8-2.2GHzIntel/mem 2GB 667 MHz)
    I'm new at this stuff and have combed the Help-Knowledge Bases-DW and Bridge and haven't found anything remotely helpful or even similar? .Must be something obvious everyone knows  to do.

    Problem went away this morning!
    I tried this step again (a third time) after starting up my computer:
    Still trying to get my composite in "B" recognized by LR, I first deleted the composite from "B" using explorer, then went into LR and moved the file from "A" (where LR recognized it), into "B". 
    This time it worked, the file moved successfully and appears normally in LR.
    Don't know if the re-boot helped, or I was making some silly mistake that a good night's sleep cured.  If the later, I apologize to all who scratched their heads over this one. 
    Thanks,
    Jerry

  • Please suggest how to preview faster in Bridge CS3

    Hello,
    I'm moving from Bridge CS2 to Bridge CS3 but found out that it takes more time to preview pictures eventhough I selected quick thumbnail already. It still takes few seconds more to get pictures in focus.
    In Bridge CS2, it seems like the program creates preview pictures for all at the time we open the folder. It takes few mins at start but it can show preview pictures very fast later.
    Should I need to change the setting in CS3 for this? If there's no such function, I may need to go back to CS2 as there're tons of pics to view per day.
    Thanks so much for your help.

    Have never used CS2 so can not compare,
    If it is like the later upgade the cache of CS2 and CS3 are not the same.  So the cache will have to be rebuilt.  Once that is done it should be the same speed.  But as I mentioned, do not know how much things changed from 2 to 3.

  • (Zen Xtra) Files aren't copying properly, I can't figure out how to fix th

    I got my Zen Xtra 60 GB a few days ago, and I love it, but there's one thing that's pissing me off. I copy an album/folder over to my MP3 player, and I don't get any error messages, but when I go to the album on my MP3 player, it turns out that only a few of the songs copied. No matter how much I try, the songs just won't copy. These are all MP3s. Why is this, and what can I do about it's

    Are your original album files from store-bought CD's or did you download them off the internet? (Don't worry - I'm not gonna turn you in). If you downloaded them like I did (once), the files are often mislabeled and generally screwed-up. When I thought I put all my Engelbert Humperdinck songs in "The Greatest Hits" album, not all of them played until I labeled ALL with the proper artist, album, genre and then gave each a unique track number (don't use zero as a track #). Now they all work fine. It's a major pain going through all one's music to do this but it's worth it.
    But if you ripped legitimate CD's to MP3 and your albums still don't play, I can't help you. They have all the proper info already on each track.

  • Problem with Preview panel in Bridge CS3

    Hello,
    I've got a problem and I don't seem to get rid of it.
    When I use the Adobe Bridge, everything seemds to work fine, EXCEPT... for the preview panel.
    It just keeps on showing a 'blank gap' or blank window, from where I can see a part of my Desktop through.
    I hope this picture makes it more clear.
    http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e39/Stef_r/2009-02-08_000747.png
    Als, when I select a photo in Bridge, it doesn't show up in the preview panel. It just keeps on showing the freezed picture of the part of my desktop.
    I use Windows Vista on my laptop now, and that's were the problem is.
    On my old XP laptop, with much lower performance, it worked fine under Windows XP.
    http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e39/Stef_r/2009-02-08_000843.png
    Does anyone recognise this problem or has a solution for it?
    I have allready tried reinstalling both my laptop with Vista as wel reinstalling the Adobe suite.
    Thanks for the responce!
    With kind regards,
    Stefan

    Thanks for the replies!
    Although I still haven't found the real problem for it, the preview panel keeps on freezing, I do have a wokaround found for it.
    Because I have a docking station for my laptop, with some free slots in it, I bought a second hand Video Card with 512MB and better performance than the on-board card in the laptop.
    I hooked up a external LCD monitor to it and now it works just fine, with no additional modifications in Bridge.
    So, although the Bridge / video card still occurs on the laptop, I don't mind working this way.
    Maybe a newer driver in the future will solve this problem.
    Kind regards,
    Stefan

  • Can't move or rename files on outboard hard drive with bridge cs3

    I have a new computer operating with
    vista 64 bit os and an outboard drive with my pic
    tures.  Bridge says I don't have permission to move or rename the files but I can open the
    m and copy them.  I have to go into windows
    to physically delete or move files.

    It is a permissioning thing with Windows on external drives, that and speed, are reasons internals are much prefered.  I have found that if I right click on the Bridge start icon and chooose "run as administrator" it will work.
    I know this sounds strange on a single use machine where you have administrative rights, but just what I found that worked for me.

  • Importing layered Illustrator files

    Hello
    I'm on an Intel Power Mac. Premiere 4.1.0
    Importing layered Illustrator files does not work properly. It doesn't provide the pop up option box, to tell you what you want to do with the layers - either bring them in individually, or as a sequence, etc. All it does is simply imports the file with all the elements grouped in one file. Photoshop layered files are OK.
    I have done everything Adobe has suggested. Please see following -
    1. Done a disk permissions check, with disk utility
    2. Deleted all Premiere preference files.
    3) Uninstalled software
    4) Did a cleanup script (provided by adobe)
    5) Reinstalled software - to Premiere 4.0 (tried this version and still no good).
    6) Uninstalled and reinstalled, clean script, just to make sure (still no good)
    7) Upgraded again to premiere 4.1.0 (still no good)
    Has anyone had this problem before?
    Many thanks
    Danny

    The problem is that the Help file, and any marketing literature for that matter, is not a good indication of what the software actually does or does not do. Danny, I realize that you want to torch Adobe HQ over this issue, but the fact of the matter is that mistakes happen. And I can guarantee you 100% that when you installed the software and accepted the EULA, you acknowledged that those mistakes do happen, whether they are software bugs or erroneously-advertised features, and you absolve Adobe of any liability. I'm certainly not suggesting complacency--feel free to call the BBB or organize a class-action lawsuit or get the pitchfork-wielding mob to storm the castle--but I think it's a waste of time and energy. Adobe's not going to cop to any bug or missing feature--end of story. And the folks you're talking to at customer support really have, at most, a rudimentary understanding of the software. If you want to be active and proactive, file a feature request/bug report. It's not a guarantee of satisfaction, but it's more likely to bring you to that point than any of the above options.
    Not to belabor the point, but the way the Help file is written...
    "...you can import a layered Photoshop or Illustrator file as a
    sequence, enabling you to set up graphics in these applications and
    then import them into an Adobe Premiere Pro project."
    ...suggests that both layered Photoshop files and Illustrator files will be recognized as sequences when imported. No, it does not specifically say "layered Illustrator file," but from the context of "as a sequence" implies that the layers would be recognized and imported thusly. At present, all Illustrator files, whether they are layered or not, are flattened on import. I would be inclined to believe that this is not so much a bug, as it is a feature that was planned but not implemented, and somewhere along the line the memo between the programming group and the marketing group to this effect was misplaced. Whichever it is, it doesn't matter: this is not a workflow option.
    Here are a couple of legitimate workflow options:
    Export your AI file (don't use Save As, use Export) to a PSD file. You can maintain the layers as well as text editability by doing this, and the layered PSD will subsequently import as a sequence into Premiere Pro.
    Stop using Illustrator for video graphics. Photoshop really is better suited for video graphics, in my view, than Illustrator is. Illustrator is fine for building logos and such, and even doing some text layout that's not possible or at least not easily done in Photoshop, but vector artwork is a poor match for the world of video. Your vector artwork (whether its sourced from Illustrator, Photoshop, or wherever else) is automatically rasterized when imported into Premiere, so I feel it's better to start in Photoshop where you can control this to a greater extent than you can in Illustrator.
    As I've mentioned previously, use After Effects to build a comp from your layered AI file, and either render a movie out for use in Premiere, or use Dynamic Link to keep it live between AE and PPro.

  • Bridge CS3 not writing metadata to JPEG files

    For the last couple of months (without my noticing until a couple days ago) all JPEG files that I have edited using Bridge CS3 (on Windows XP) do not have the metadata built into the file. Here are the symptoms: use "File Info" to edit the metadata for a JPEG file (i.e. add a title, description, copyright info, etc.), all appears normal, but if you do any of the following, the metadata you entered disappears:
    - duplicate (the metadata does not exist in the duplicate file)
    - move or copy to another folder
    - open in Photoshop or any other software that can read metadata (File Info shows none of the metadata you entered)
    - rebuild the cache for the folder
    Strangely, the metadata still appears with the file when you look at it in Bridge as long as you don't do any of the above.
    This is really awful as I've put a lot of time into entering this metadata for hundreds of files. Older files (pre-Nov 08) don't have this problem and the metadata is "sticky" and doesn't get deleted. So, somehow my Bridge CS3 got corrupted along the way.
    Has anyone experienced this and more importantly -- do you have a solution? I've tried reseting all Bridge settings (but that of course purged the cache and deleted all my metadata.)

    Hey,
    There are various date/time fields shown in properties panel in Organizer. The dates mentioned in general section are read from OS whereas the dates in EXIF field are read from image's EXIF data. In EXIF data there are three date/time fields-
    1. Date time- This date/time info shows date modified of EXIF properties. So when you are writing a tag into imags's IPTC, you are doing some change in EXIF data. Hence this date should change to date when you are writing a tag into IPTC.
    2. Date time original - Represents date time when a image was shoot.
    3. Date digitized - Represents the date when the image was digitized (in digital camers there is hardly some delay between an image is shoot and it is digitized. So this field is always same as date original).
    So, in your scenario, Date time in EXIF should change whenever you are writing any tag into its IPTC.
    Please let me know if you need more info on it.

  • I'm back in CS3. What's the extension (acronym) newer version users have to save Illustrator files for me to open?

    Saving new versions of Illustrator files so I can open them in CS3...what's the extension?

    There is no specific other format. They are just AI files. They just have to take care to pick the right version, though inevitably you are going to lose data one way or the other.
