Import/Open SVG Files in Fireworks CS5!

Hey,
I really need to import/open SVG files in Fireworks CS5. I have been searching the Web for days now, but I can't find anything. The reason for this is that I get thousands of files sent to me in SVG format that I needto incorporate into my designs made in Fireworks. I solve it today by opening the files in Illustrator, copy each one of them, paste in Fireworks... WTF!
So please tell me someone made this easy for me?
Many thanks!

I also have this problem. I didnt exatly find a solution, however here's the way i learnt to use .svg without losing editability in Fireworks.
1. Download Inkscape as suggested by Joyce Evans Erb. Here
2. Open the SVG file you need to work with in Inkscape.
3. Go to File > Save As and select .eps (Encapsulated PostScript)
4. Open the saved .eps file in Fireworks.
Now you might get a bit of unnecessary space around the file but it should work out just fine.
Also, if you havn't already go check out thenounproject.com . It's a great resource for us Fireworks types.
As a final note, i'd just like to plead with Adobe to put a bit more effort into Fireworks. It's a great program that i feel is being dragged along with the suite. (Hope to see some really awesome stuff in Fireworks CS6.5 *wink* )

  • Can't import/open HTML files in Fireworks CS4

    I'm trying to import/open HTML files into Fireworks CS4 to do some redesigning. I inherited the job of redoing my companies website and we believe the person who created our website created the site using Dreamweaver 8. Unfortunatley that person moved on to a new job across the country and we can't ask him exactly how he created our website.
    When I try to open some of the HTML files in FW I get the message: "Could not open the file....Fireworks could not find an HTML table in this file". Next I tried creating a new, very simple HTML page in Dreamweaver CS4 that contains just a few lines of text and 1graphic (we just bought the CS4 web suite). Again, I get the same error.
    Other files give me a slightly different error message when trying to open them in FW, "The HTML document contains one or more images with absolute web addresses for the source. Fireworks cannot handle these images. --click OK-- (next error message) Could not open the file. Fireworks has encountered a problem with the HTML in this table. Verify that the HTML is valid"... and then it closes and nothing loads into FW. Bummer.
    I've searched on these forums and can't find any solutions to this problem although I found a few people experiencing the same problem.
    Do I need to do something to the Dreamweaver created HTML's to get them to open in FW? Any help would be appreciated.

    Fireworks is a graphics editor that can export code; it is not an HTML/code editor.
    If you have exported HTML from Fireworks, you ought to be able to re-import that, but I would think most people who use Fireworks exported code would just modify their Fireworks document and re-export. (Fireworks' code is not robust and it is only intended for mockups and prototypes. Fireworks is not intended for developing and maintaining live Web sites; Dreamweaver is.)
    If your developer used Dreamweaver, then I really don't expect that Fireworks would be able to import that, nor any code that isn't in exactly the format that it can export. If you know your developer used Fireworks, then you need to look for .png files. Fireworks uses an enhanced version of the PNG format for its native document format.
    If you are making small adjustments to your site, then you might be better off working in Dreamweaver. If you're doing a site re-design, then Fireworks is an excellent tool for laying out your design and producing your graphics, but you will, at some point, need to move over to Dreamweaver for coding.

  • How can I import SVG file to Flash CS5.5

    I want to import a .SVG file that I made in Inkscape to Flash CS5.5 how do I do this? Do I need to install some type of plugin/extension? Is there some way around it?

    Actually no, that's incorrect. Flash CS5.5 can NOT import PS/EPS. I've seen a few threads mentioning this, but it's not the case (maybe older versions supported that?).
    The list of supported file formats can be found here;
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/supported-file-formats-flash-professional.html
    To import PS/EPS, you'd need to convert it first through another tool, such as Illustrator.

  • Cannot open indd file in either CS5 or CS5.5

    I downloaded CS5.5 on my laptop this afternoon. I then opened a CS5 file, worked on it, then saved. Now I cannot open the file in either CS5 or CS5.5. Is says InDEsign may not support the file format, the file is missing, or it is opened in anaother application. Does anyone know how I can open this file?

    Just to be clear:
    It won't open in either version. I created the file in CS5 (school computer lab), worked on it in CS5.5 (on my personal laptop connected through the server), then tried to open it on a school coputer using CS5. The file will not open.
    Once you edit a CS5 file in CS5.5, it becomes a CS5.5 file and you will not be able to open it in CS5.
    Make sure you are running the version you think you are, and don't double-click the file, but actually use File > Open from within InDesign CS5.5.

  • [Solved by adding GQview]Is Feh not capable of opening svg files...?

    I have installed Feh from the community repos, along with imlib2. according to the official website, feh can open SVG files, but I get an error...
    feh WARNING: /home/jaydoc/archlinux-artwork-1.1/logos/archlinux-grad1-dark.svg - No Imlib2 loader for that file format.
    So is feh capable of doing this or not..? Am I missing any needed dependency..? I don't want to use inkscape etc, as they seem to have a lot of dependencies.

  • ¿why when I tried to open a file in Fireworks 8, a message unknown file appear?

    Please help, i can´t open any file in fireworks 8. I tried with jpg an png files and don´tn work, please help

    Since support for your camera was added in Camera Raw 8.3, there is no version of Camera Raw for your version of Photoshop that will enable you to open the NEF files from your camera. One alternative would be for you to download the DNG converter version 8.5, and use it to create digital negative copies of your NEF files. They will still have the raw image data in them, but they will be in a format that your version of Camera Raw can work with. Another alternative would be for you to add Lightroom to your workflow. You would still be able to send copies of your NEF files to Photoshop when needed. The other alternative would be for you to join the creative cloud an upgrade to Photoshop CC. There is a package that includes Photoshop and Lightroom for the monthly subscription price of $9.99 in the US. I think Photoshop CS6 can still be purchased separately as a standalone product. And there is a version of Camera Raw for that version of Photoshop that will enable you to open your NEF files.
    While you are trying to decide which way you want to go, you might consider using the DNG converter as an interim solution. It's free, you'll still have your original NEF files, and you'll be able to start working with your raw image data today. Here is the link:

  • I can't open PDF files in InDesign CS5

    Hi all,
    I can't seem to open any PDF files of any version while using InDesign CS5...
    I'm currently running InDesign in Windows 7 Professional x32bit...
    This message keeps popping up:
    Cannot open the file "TIG_Sheet_and_Application.pdf". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.
    I've made sure that the file was not open in any application, and its not just this particular pdf files... all PDF files can't be opened. The only thing that actually opens in InDesign are the indd files...
    I try going through the plug-in list, but there's a bunch and I'm not sure which one is it...
    Tried google search for a solution but found no solution...
    Can anyone help me?
    Cheers,

    krystlew, and others reading this thread and considering the answers "snarky" or "not helpful": note that this is the InDesign SDK forum -- that is, a question posted here should be about programming for InDesign:
    About this Forum
    The InDesign SDK forum is for discussions on InDesign plugin development using the InDesign SDK. InDesign plugins are developed in C++.
    Presumably, you found this discussion because the error message lead you here: that you cannot "open" a PDF. That's InDesign's usual message for all content that it cannot 'open' with the command "File > Open..."; try for example with a Word document, a JPEG image, or an Excel spreadsheet. InDesign is perfectly able to import these files -- but you cannot use "File > Open...". You must use the command "File > Place..." instead. "Placing a PDF" is described in the online Help: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/placing-graphics.html
    It is a regular User Interface question and so unrelated to what this forum is for. General InDesign questions can be asked in the regular user forum: https://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign/content
    I believe that the original question was posted in error in this forum and thus got interpreted as "what do I need to code to natively open PDFs". The answer is: lots. InDesign does not provide anything to natively read a PDF, so you would have to program literally everything.
    (Some of the other posts ask why InDesign cannot already do this -- and the answer is, "Because It Is Incredibly Hard". The counterargument I usually give is that InDesign can also import (place) and export JPEG images and yet it is not a JPEG Editor. I can provide technical arguments as well. One is, there are lots of ways to construct PDFs in such a way that important content information is lost -- even something as basic as "what text is actually here".
    ... So, kudo's to Markzware for making it possible anyway! If you found this post because you need to convert a PDF file to a native, editable InDesign document, try their software.)

  • Can't Open PMD Files in InDesign CS5

    Prior to purchasing CS5 with InDesign, I understood from the Adobe website that PMD (Pagemaker 7.0) files could be opened or imported with InDesign. Now that I have it installed, the PMD files are grayed-out when I try to open a file. Is there a different process to import a PMD file?
    Here is one of the references:

  • How to open .AC3 files in Audition CS5.5

    As the latest Adobe Audition 5.5 does not have the codec/plugin for opening .AC3 files, I need to download and install the latest QuickTime player for the required codec/plugin.
    However, after installing the QuickTime Player, Audition 5.5 seemed to open the .AC3 file I've selected but the whole duration of the AC3 file is blank and has nothing in the waveform. I could not hear anything during the playback.
    The fact is that when the AC3 file is playing through the Windows Media Player 12 with AC3Filter, the file can be heard and has no error.
    Does anyone know the solution to this issue?

  • I can't open .avi files in Photoshop CS5

    I used to be able to open .avi files in Photoshop just fine, but I’ve just tried opening one again after a couple of months and I can’t. It’s just black blankness. I have no problem with .mp4 files, but unfortunately, most of the videos I'm trying to make gifs out of are in .avi format.
    Is it because I've updated QuickTime? Or is it that Adobe CS no longer supports .avi files? It says here that Photoshop CS6 supports the .avi format.
    My specs:
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.4
    Photoshop CS5.1

  • Can't open orf files in Photoshop CS5 with latest updates.

    Hi folks,
    I have a user having trouble opening orf files. When the problem was first brought to my attention we couldn't open nef files either. I installed the Adobe Camera Raw plugin and then the nef files could be opened but not the orf files.
    Does anyone know why this would be and what can be done to fix the problem?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    It may be that the camera is not supported by the camera raw 6.7 plugin for photoshop cs5.
    (camera raw 6.7 is the newest camera raw plugin supported by photoshop cs5)
    Is camera raw 6.7 the plugin you installed?

    If the camera(s) are not supported by 6.7, then you can use the 8.7 dng converter to convert the files to dng copies, which photoshop cs5 should then be able to open.

  • Can't open PNG files in Photoshop CS5...??

    I'm seeing lots of threads with this problem but none of them seem to have an answer.
    For some reason right now when I try to open a PNG file in Photoshop it just crashes.  I end up with a neverending "hour glass".
    I had all of my website project directories on a network share.  As I'm no longer sharing all of these files with an office of people I decided to move all of these project files back to my own local machine.  Ever since I've done that I can't open PNG files in Photoshop anymore.
    Any information on what could have caused this, or more importantly, how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    I was able to edit PNG files just fine up until today, and the only thing I've done is move the files from the network share to my local hard drive.
    Any PNG, large or small won't work right now.  All of the other threads I see where people are talking about this say it's happening with their GIF files, too.  I just tried one here and the same thing happened.  From within Photoshop I did File -> Open, browsed to my image directory and the moment I clicked on one of the GIF files it locked up.
    So yeah, I'm certain it's isolated to my machine right now.  I just have no idea at all what could possibly be causing this.  The other threads are mentioning netework shares, too, but usually still trying to open over the network.  In my case it was working fine when I did it over the network, but now that I'm opening local files it's failing.

  • How do i open CR2 files with photoshop cs5?

    Adobe camera raw will not open CR2 files in photoshop. How do i open these files? i have tried updating camera raw witht he last 8 updates but it still will not open. Camera raw shows a pop up box saying the file is not supported.

    I believe the proglem is with in Adobe CS5 and something just isnt working correctly and that maybe why it cant read or do anything with RAW files. I also noticed that Adobe's site says that it supports canon 70D CS2 files. my camera files are CR2, im not sure if maybe that might have something to do with my issue.
    Nothing to do with anything being faulty in CS5.
    The reason has already been given by tpolakov above: The 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2 which is only compatible with CS6 and later. CS5 is not compatible with Camera Raw 8.2 so CS5 cannot read Raw files from the 70D. That's all there is to it.

    Thanks Tomsm13, I actually tried to convert the files to DNG but that doesnt work either. I used the latest compatable Adobe DNG converter and i get a message that it can not find any camera RAW files to convert.
    You select a folder containing CR2 files, not a CR2 file.
    See Camera Raw: How to use Adobe DNG Converter - YouTube
    From 1.40 onwards.
