Illustrator SAVE AS window

I have just recently installed dual monitors, so I am not sure if that is the cause, but since then when I open Illustrator CS2 and try to export or save as, the window does not open (or is hidden) thus I must hit the Esc key to unlock the command.
Any ideas, on what is happening?

Then I keep seeing this reference to "FAQ#4" and, sure enough, that doesn't exist anymore.
Yep. The FAQs got deep-sixed when they changed over to these horrible new forums. It's really too bad because there was a lot of good info there.
Moreover, because other forums, e.g. Photoshop, preserved their FAQs in the changeover, it's not a question of the new forum software not accommodating them. Pulling Illustrator FAQs was a conscious decision by the forum administrators, and it's incomprehensible to me.
Thank you... would love to have seen this 4 days ago *sigh*
Better late than never. Glad the post helped.

Calling Illustrator from a Windows Service

Hello,
A project I'm working on has an internal document conversion process that uses Adobe Illustrator. The conversion script is in Javascript and uses the Illustrator SDK to go through the document and extract some information. We have a script that initiates this by calling Illustrator and instructing it to run the Javascript file. This whole process works well.
To make this easier for people to use, we have a program that runs on a server and watches a special directory. When a file is dropped into that directory, this program notices, runs the script, and saves the output in another folder. This process works well, too.
To ensure that this program stays running and starts immediately when the system boots, we would like to run it as a Windows Service. This is where we run into trouble. Our program runs fine as a service, except that when we call Illustrator, it just hangs without executing our script.
I don't see any output or error messages that would help us diagnose the problem.
I was wondering if anybody else had tried calling Illustrator from a Windows Service, and maybe had some suggestions for getting it working?
Thanks!
-----Scott.

I'm afraid I don't know anything that might help you on this one. I wouldn't have thought Illustrator was doing anything that unusual that might cause running from a Service grief. The only two suggestions I can think of are ones you may already have tried:
1) check the event viewer -- there might be something there that doesn't show up in stderr or stdout
2) Try posting in the Scripting forum; it feels like they might be more likely to have tried something like this than people in here. This is typically for plugin development, thoug I don't blame you at all for posting here -- it certainly would have seemed worth a shot to me Anyways, the AI Scripting forum is in:

Hopefully someone there will have tried this and can help you out. Good luck!

I'm using Firefox version 3.6 on my '02 Mac G4. When I installed it, it worked fine, But then all of a sudden the "save" and "save as" windows stopped coming up at all when I selected "save" anywhere in Firefox. What happened and how do I fix it?

I downloaded and installed Firefox on my '02 Mac G4. It worked great. Now I have version 3.6. But my weird problem is one day when I ran it, the "save" and "save as" windows stopped popping up at all. I'd left click a picture and select "save as" and nothing would happen. I'd go to the menu and select "save" and still no window would pop up. It would just act as if nothing had been clicked. No loading icon or anything and no "save as" window. I've never been able to get it to work. The volunteer in the live support chat typed "That IS weird.." I tried his suggestion but it did nothing. I may have deleted the plist preferences file in the preferences library folder to get it started again after a freeze up threw it out of whack but I've never had this happen before.And i've tried doing that again to see if that would restore it. But the plist always regenerates itself and the "save as " window still never appears when I run Firefox. The "save" window works just fine in every other program on my Mac, but not in Firefox. Weird..

Options Startup Show my Windows & Tabs from last time,but upon exit FF doesn't ask to save tabs & windows. When restarting FF I have a home pape,but no Bookmark tabs show. Why

Upon starting FF and going to my Home Page, I have no Bookmarks or Tabs showing. I have to Re-load the Bookmark Tabs. My options at Startup are "Show my Windows & Tabs from last time" Also using the Firefox exit,it does not ask to save tabs & windows on Exit. I'm getting tired of adding Bookmark Tabs each time I want to use FF.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Save As window comes up when saving a WebI document another user modified

When trying to save a Web Intelligence document in the "Web" mode (not the java "Rich Internet Application" mode), users get a "Save As" window if another user was the last one to save the document. The user can simply select the same location and "overwrite" the existing report. They can also use the Rich Internet Application mode instead, since this does not have the same issue. After that, the same user can continue to save the report as usual, until another user saves it. The user has full control permissions to the document and to the folder.
This doesn't seem like it would be a big deal, but most of our users access reports using hyperlinks from other websites, which opens the document directly in the web mode; and they just make simple changes like selecting a different value in an input control. If the Save As window comes up, it takes them to their Favorites folder, and they usually don't know which public folder the report is stored in.

I can not print anything from Firefox but on IE everything prints just fine. I happen to like Firefox a whole lot better so would appreciate a solution to my problem.

PDF opens "save as" window instead of opening (in Firefox)

Hi all,
I am using Captivate 5.5 to publish to .swf.
In my project I have a button set to open a URL or file, with a path to a PDF file.
It used to work fine in all browsers, the PDF would open in Reader or in a tab when the button was clicked.
However I just noticed that when using Mozilla Firefox, clicking the button now opens a "save as" window to save the PDF file, rather than display it. What happened?
Behaviour is fine in Chrome or IE.
Issue occurs whether the PDF is set to open in the actual or a new window, and whether the project is set to continue playing or not.
The project is entirely published and read locally.
I am at a loss. Can anyone give me a tip on how to configure my button to work the same in all browsers?
Thanks.

Never mind, I found the answer.
A matter of setting the Firefox options so that PDF files open in Reader or whatnot rather than prompt to save.

Save as window pop up serveral times while printing ONE file, and need to combine 2 files after print. Why??

I am using Acrobat 8 Professional. I was trying to print 3 worksheets from Excel file to PDF file, after I selected the Adobe PDF printer driver, the save as window pop up, I click save after I place the file name, after the pdf generated 2 pages, the save as window pop up again, I need to save the file in different name. After the print job is done, I need to combine two file manually without any error. Please find the attached file to try.

I have experienced this same problem with multipage excel files. Try this: instead of using 'print' then 'acrobat', create the pdf by choosing 'Adobe', then 'Create pdf' from excels ribbon (at the top). I use Excel 2007 so the same solution may not work for you. Best of luck.

Typing the characters "oun" launches "Save As" window

Product: HP ProBook 4530s
O/S: Windows 7, 2009, SP1, 32 bit
Error message - nope, no error message, just frustrating!
Any changes - nope, still stock
Okay, here's what happens... typing the characters "oun" in any word in any program is kicking me out of what I was doing to some other command window, as if the combination of the letters O U N is acting like some kind of shortcut command.
In MS Word, Excel, or Powerpoint, if I type "oun" in any word, the "Save As" window jumps up in front of me.
In MS Outlook, same thing. If I type any word with "oun" in it, like "around" "found" etc... it immediately jumps me out of the document, spreadsheet, presentation, or email, and brings up the "Save As" window.
Even in IE, it happens. Just in trying to type this post, it has already happened every time I have typed these three characters in succession. This odd window pops up at the bottom third of the IE screen with the main menu options "File Find Disable View Images Cache Tools Validate | Browser Mode: IE9 Compat View Document Mode: IE7 standards" and a submenu with the options "HTML CSS Console Script Profiler Network"
I never realized how often I type this letter combination. I find myself actually trying to think ahead and avoiding any word that might have "oun" in it. This only happens on this HP Probook, and not any of the other machines here with the same release of MS Office.
Any clues as to what is going on, and how I can fix it, make it stop or go away?
Thanks!

Well, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried what you suggested. I used Control Panel to uninstall HP Power Management, then downloaded and installed the version behind your link. But... it still does it. I thought is was only happening in MS Office products, where any word with the characters "oun" will bring up the "Save As" window. But, even, here, in IE, if I type a word like counted or found, up pops a weird window on the bottom third of the screed that shows me HTML or CSS tabs, and let me choose style or document views... I never realized how many words have the characters o u n in succession in them until I hit this wall. I have also learned that if I type them slow enough, I am not kicked out... I'd REALLY love to know what program is the root of this redirect and just uninstall or remove it. But it appears that HP Power Management is not the solution, unless by manually uninstall, you could point me to the files I need to manually delete that Control Panel uninstall did not grab.
With hope...

Save As windows takes a long time to come up.

After selecting File > Save As the Save As window takes about 15 seconds to come up. This is a brand new computer and a new installation of Adobe Acrobat XI v. 11.0.6. Has anyone ran into an issue like this before?

Hi Kiran ,
If I am not wrong you are sending a different name to frontend service
concatenate ls_bil_invoice-HD_KOMK-BIL_NUMBER c_extn into filename.
call method guiobj->file_save_dialog
exporting default_extension = 'pdf'
default_file_name = space
file_filter = filter
changing filename = FILENAME1 " i think this has to be FILENAME .
Hope this helps.

Firefox closes "Save As" window on some web sites when downloading

On some web sites, such as Scribd or PC World, Firefox will quickly force shut the "Save As" window when downloading. It happens so quickly that I barely have time to see the "Save As" window. The same web site on IE will not cause this to happen. I have done a web search and tried several of their tips, but the same thing happens on Firefox when I try to download from those sites. This problem started in Firefox 3 and is continuing in Firefox 4. Adjusting settings in or disabling AVG Internet Security does not work either.

Only security software (probably anti-virus software or the firewall) would show such a message if it was a Windows message, so you can check it there.
If it is a message from a Firefox extension then see this:

Safari save as window opens larger than screen size and I can't get to the

In safari, I choose File -> Save As. The save dialogue window is taller than my screen and the buttons get buried under my bottom toolbar. I can't reach the save buttons and I can't seem to reach the right hand corner to manual resize it. I've tried clicking the green button in the top left hand corner but it doesn't change a thing.
thanks to anyone that can clear this up.

I tried clicking the blue export button so its pointing down and the save dialogue window does shrink. However, the adjustable dashes that normally appear in the bottom right hand corner, are not there. The only appear when the export button is pointing up. Too bad I can't reach it.
Your 2nd idea worked! My display was already at max resolution BUT I had a 2nd monitor and dragged the save box over and the smaller display was enough to reach that bottom corner.
yeah!

Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver? The same images look fine in Preview and Finder. Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver? The same images look fine in Preview and Finder. Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

The desktop image is fine, taken from the exact same pool of jpg photos. However, as soon as the slide show screen saver comes on, the images are scrambled. What is it about the apple screen saver algorithm that scrambles the pics?

PSE 12 won't save the tiff file over the original, but brings up save as window

I've solved (or had help) solving this problem before:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5893872#5893872
I am using PSE 12 as a photo editor for Aperture 3.5.1 and the photo is duplicated (as a tiff) in Aperture and PSE editor opens with the image. When I close the file and say to save the file it brings up the save as window.
The fix from the earlier discussion worked fine at first, but now, even though I tell PSE 12 to "on first save -- save over current file" it now brings up the "save as" window and won't save over the file (changes the file type from .tiff to .tif)
Has something changed?
