Logo file format help??

Hi
I have created a logo in Illustrator, the logo contains 2 pieces of text in 2 different colours, and a symbol made up of 3 of the same shapes all different colours, they all overlap each other, 2 of the shapes have a soft light blending mode, and the 3rd overlay blending mode, (all shapes are 100% opacity) With a transparent background.
My question is.. what is the best file format to save the logo as, so that I can then place the logo in an Indesign file (for a packaging design) as to keep the transparent background, colours, etc...
I have also grouped and then flattened the 3 shapes in the logo in Illustrator in order to keep the blending modes just within the logo and not effect the Indesign layout.
is this the correct way to go about this?
Thanks for your help
Ruth

I concur with Scott: .ai file with PDF compatibility.

New Adobe update does not accept Sony NEX .MTS file format - help?!

I've seen some 'solutions' to this problem but none apply to me. I do not have older versions of Premiere to work with these files and then import into the new Adobe CC 2014. I also tried renaming the file folder with the video files but that does not work for me either - unless there is a step by step process someone can provide so I can see what I am doing wrong.
Main point is this should not happen in the first place - it has never been a problem with Adobe before.
.MTS is a very popular file format - many people use the fs100 and fs700, etc.
ADOBE PLEASE FIX!

We need more info please: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
Another thing we need to know: how are you importing/ingesting the files?

Not a beauty, but should work (reads from "file", outputs to standard output).
#! /usr/bin/ruby -w
arr = []
x = 0
File.open("file", "r") do |file|
while line = file.gets
arr.insert(-1,line)
end
end
arr.each do |element|
print sprintf("%9.6f",element)
x = x + 1
puts if x.modulo(8) == 0
end

HT3775 Hi, my mac which is on 10.7.5 osx. but when ever i insert any mpeg/avi video cd it shows the file format not recognized. i am fed up of this. plz somebody help me. what should i do now.

hi,
i am using 10.7.5 lion there are a lot of problems in this OS.
like most of the programs quit's unexpectedly. some programs does not work on it. like adobe cs5 is not working. everytime time when i do click on adobe cs 5 icon it shows a message "To open “Adobe Photoshop CS5,” you need to install a Java SE 6 runtime, but you are not connected to the Internet.To install a Java SE 6 runtime later, open “Adobe Photoshop CS5” again" while i always remain connected on the net.
2. when ever i insert an avi or mpeg video disk it shows the file format not recognized. to **** with this macbook pro n its 10.7.5 lion. the same disk works/runs on windows on windows systems.
plz somebody help me what should i do now.
[email protected]

it sounds like a fualty installation of Lion, this may happen from time to time.
The best thing to do in this situation is to reinstall Lion. You will not loose anything doing this, but you should always keep back ups of your information.
http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
basically hold Cmd+R on boot..
first go to disk utility, verify and repair your disks and permissions. Exit out of Disk utility and then go directly to "reinstall Lion"
choose that and let it reinstall.
Adobe CS6 does need Java to run.
To play your movies you might need to get an application called VLC. VLC is a free app and will play most videos and music files you throw into it.
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
you have a 64bit intel mac, so get the one for that.

HELP! Unexpected File Format Error

I was recently working on a project in Flash CS5.5 for school, last thing i did was save the project and close the program. Next time I try to open it I get an error saying "Unexpected File Format", and the application closes itself out. I can open Flash by itself and work on anything else, but when I try to open my class project it repeats the same thing "Unexpected File Format" and closes. The file was originally started IN Flash CS5.5, and has not moved to any other program since then. I dont understand what happened. I really need this project working again, can anyone help?

It's just happened again!!
This is really killing my deadline. Same file, this time I had just deleted to fonts from the library, then clicked save to get the alert to kill flash.
This time I got the additional info from the "Adobe Flash CS5.5 has stopped working" alert box:

Ibook G4 using iPhoto 5. Some photos in library cannot be opened. An error -couldn't open file. it may be corrupt or a file format that preview does not recognize. HELP!!

I have an ibook G4 using iphoto5. Some photos in my library cannot be opened. It hasn't always been this way. I have tried to click and drag to a folder in finder and when i do i get an error !Coundn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn't recognize.

The only solution to corrupted files is to restore from your back up.

I just used stellar phoenix mac data recovery and it seemed to work but now my files won't open. Even though they are "jpeg, mov" files, the error message is "could not be opened". The movie's file format isn't recognized. " Any help or are they corrupted?

Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!

I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!!!!

Try this. It worked for me.
I discovered the same problem. I had an older version of Pages on my iPad. After updating it to the latest version all my previous documents created in pages for the iPad were rendered unreadable and a message stated that they were an invalid format. Why for the life of me would a program that was created by Apple and sense updated not be able to read previous versions...well that's a whole other sad story. Any way I discovered how to fix it but it would require that you had backup your iPad on a computer and not emptied your trash. If this sounds good than here is how you fix it... And it worked for me.
These steps will enable you to reinstall a previous version of the Pages app so you can be able to read and edit older documents.
FIRST: if you did backup your iPad using your computer and did not empty your trash, GOTO the trash and look for PAGES 1.4 (or other number) ipa ( that's the file extension) ie PAGES 1.4 ipa.
SECOND: move that file out of the trash and onto your desktop. Once you do this, double click on it and a box will come up stating a newer version has been found and do you want to revert back to older version. ANSWER YES. It will than automatically place and overwrite the older version back into the file on iTunes that contains the rest of your backed up apps.
THIRD: and this is where it is important that your backup would have to have been on your computer. I'm not sure if backup on the cloud will work. iCloud backup at your own risk And here's why. Before you restore you will need to remove the latest version of Pages off your iPad by doing the usual : holding down the home button until the apps wiggle and remove by pressing on X on app. Removing off your iPad will also delete all your documents but if you have a previous backup on your computer those documents will be stored safely on itunes and will return.
FORTH: plug your iPad into your computer and allow it to sync so iTunes will recognize it. Once iTunes is up and you can see that it recognizes your iPad, GOTO "FILE/DEVICES/RESTORE FROM BACKUP." ******* DO NOT CLICK ON BACKUP***** click on RESTORE FROM BACKUP. This will reinstall all previous settings and documents that were their when you backuped PLUS the older version of Pages that you placed back from the above steps. Let it run through all the setups ( this could take up to 20 minutes...depending on amount of data and photos and apps).
FIFTH: Once everything is reinstalled a message will popup on your computer stating "to leave iPad plugged in until iTunes recognizes it again" ( it's basically rebooting itself). Once done (leave iPad plugged in still) GOTO iPad and follow the steps. IMPORTANT: iPad will ask you if you want to SET IT UP AS A NEW IPAD, BACK UP FROM THE CLOUD or BACK UP FROM ITUNES.....press SET UP AS NEW IPAD. Follow all of the steps required. Once complete GOTO iTunes on computer, look for "IPAD" plus a little arrow ( should be on upper right corner of iTunes window, click on it ( this will safely disconnect your iPad from iTunes) . Now unplug iPad from computer and go to your iPad and look for the older version of Pages. It should be there along with all your old documents ( readable and editable too).
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Help needed with File Formats (Save As...)

Somewhere upgrading versions of Photoshop (Mac), some old File Formats have remained. The result is that I cannot properly select a File Format to Save As... except the native PSD format. Others have to be selected by selecting a format below the one on the list, meaning that I cannot select TIFF because there are no formats below this one. (Accepted formats http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7758a.h tml#WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7754a)
I've looked in the Plugins folder and there are no strange file formats there. I checked Library>Application Support>Adobe>Plug-Ins but nothing there. I've tried searching the entire hard drive for Compuserve GIF (one of the offending file formats) but nothing matches.
I give up trying to figure out where some of the problem plugins are located. As you can see from the image below, selecting Multi-Picture Format actually will save it as a jpg. From reading Adobe's formats, I think CompuServe GIF is causing part of the problem. I don't know what other one.
Or it may be that I just need to reset something so all formats are properly recognized. Can anyone help?

Curt,
That is great information. Unfortunately I've already checked the preferences and do not have an additional plugin folder specified.
Suppossedly, according to the information from Adobe, the only place plugins should be loaded is in the Photoshop > Plug-Ins folder, or possibly Library>Application Support>Adobe>Plug-Ins (according to the link you provided). There is nothing there.
When I look at Photoshop > About Plug-ins I see that, for example, there are two (2) versions of CompuServe GIF format. Obviously one is old from a previous install/update, but I cannot find it anywhere. If I could find it, I could remove it. I suspect that is one of the conflicts causing my problem, but I see no way in Preferences to remove a plug-in. The link you gave says to move it outside the folder, but it presupposes you can even find the offending plug-in, which I cannot.

Same logo printing different colors for different file formats?

I created a logo for a client who will be using it for some printed materials. I provided the logo in 3 different file formats: EPS, JPEG and Tiff.
In INDesign and MS Word, the logo is printing a different color for the EPS vs the Jpeg/Tiff file types. Is there something I'm missing?
I've even tried changing the color to something completely different and we are getting the same result. There is STiLL a considerable difference between the Eps file and the other two files.

No the logo was created for print and I originally had used a pantone color but converted to CMYK. The actual value is C69 M7 Y0 K0. When my client inserts the eps file into her InDesign layout, it prints a bright aqua color and if she uses either the jpeg or tiff, it is a much different blue. We've tried other colors because I was thinking it might just be the fact that it's a blue color... but the same thing happens to other colors. I am wondering if there is some sort of color management setting that is causing the eps to be different?

Thank you very much.

Per your post, this problem might be caused by malware on the affected machine.

After updating os to 10.9.1can't open pdf files. I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email. Any help would be appreciated.

After updating os to OSX 10.9.1 I can't open any new pdf files. I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email. Also can't attach a pdf to an email to send out. Any help would be appreciated.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

HELP PLEASE - .dv file format not supported

I am using Premiere Pro CS4. I had it installed Windows XP, and my project was working fine. Premiere read .dv files as well as others, but the OS was getting old so I upgraded to Windows 7. Now I load the same project and Premiere does not recognize the .dv files. I get the error that the .dv file format is not supported. I thought this was supposed to be supported by premiere? Do I need to download a codec or change settings, or will I have to convert all of the .dv files to another format? If so, this will take a long time because I have lots of file clips in this project. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all of the help. I already basically understood what a codec was, although those articles did make it more clear. I am still not quite sure how Premiere choses what codecs it will read. I believe it has some codecs included with it. I suppose the files I am trying to work with use other codecs. What I am not sure of is how other programs can play these files and not premiere. If these programs play the files, then that should mean the codecs are installed, so I dont see why premiere cant read them.
None the less, I think my problem lies in the fact that I cannot find good codec installers for Windows 7. I am going to try to dual boot my computer for the time and put CS4 back on the XP version where I think I can find the codecs that I need.
The only other option I can think of is to convert the files to formats that work with my Premiere on Windows 7. If the MS AVI codec will work for sure, then does anyone know a good converter I can use, because this would work best.
Last, not that premiere is on windows 7, the page up and page down buttons do not advance the timeline to the next cut, and the ctrl+D combo does
not insert the default transition. Does anyone know what to do to fix these small problems?
Thanks again for all the help.

I started with JDK1.4, switched back to JDK1.3 after seeing the error but it didn't help.
The first line of installation.html says:
"Tomcat will operate under any Java Development Kit (JDK) environment that provides a JDK 1.1, JDK 1.2 (also known as Java2 Standard Edition, or J2SE) or later platform" - so I assume I don't have to go back to JDK1.2?
Thanks.
