No option to save files, save as files in inDesign 5.5
The option to save, save as and copy files are grayed out and not an option for me.
I am having to save my files as IDML files and force quite inDesign to close it.
I see that this has been a ongoing issue...but can't seem to find a real solution or reason why this is happening.
Called Adobe today and it took two hours to get a real person, who just had me reinstall inDesign but the glitch returned.
I have been working with some files that were originally made in CS3...but this is happening with brand new files too.
Well, I wrote too soon. Even with Suitcase Fusion 3 installed, the problem has returned. After about 3-4 saves on a document, the option to save disappears as before.
I have someone from extensis (suitcase fustion) looking at my files to see why this is happening.
For now, I am exporting to idml mode, then I am able to save as the actuall indesign file.
I am on a deadline to produce a 40 page mini book for an Artist's Studio Tour that is happening next month, and needs to be finalized for the printer next week.
(I am regretting that I upgraded to 5.5, but..........)
I am still hoping to find out why this is happening. I know there is a reason for it, and I will not give up until I track it down.
I also may need to upgrade my OS with this macbook pro...but that will happen after the book goes to the printer.
Hard for me to recommend using indesign to the other artists here, but I am not giving up.
I have used it for at least 10 years.

No option in adobe reader 9.2 when opening a pdf file to "save as" a tiff file
Hi, I want to save a pdf file as a tiff file. I have Adobe Reader 9.2 and windows xp. In the Adobe website, it says I can export or convert a pdf file into different formats. However, when opening an existing pdf file, there isn't an option to export or "save as" in the Tools menu or in the Preferences under Edit. The reason I want to save a pdf file into a tiff file format is because when I use the program Microsoft Office Document Imaging to open a tiff file, it allows me the option to move selected pages & save it as a new file. In a pdf file, I have to save all the pages as one file & I don't necessarily want all the pages. My only other option is to print the selected pages I want from the adobe file document and then scan it into a tiff file but I would hate to use paper just for that purpose.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,You can use a tiff printer driver:

Why can't I save as my photoshop cs4 file to .png file? I don't see any option now?
Hi,
why can't I save as my photoshop cs4 file to .png file? I don't see any option for saving .png in Save As diolog box now? It was working fine until yesterday. Neither I can open a .png file nor save my psd file to png file?
Please help. I am using Microsoft Window XP Professional and Photoshop CS4.In Photoshop CS4, .png open/save support was provided by a plug-in. It is possible the plug-in has been deleted or moved, or has become unavailable to Photoshop because of a change in file protections.
Do you have the file PNG.8BI on your system. It should be here on a 32 bit Windows system:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\File Formats\PNG.8BI

Option to save snapshots in the file!!
Snapshots are such a great feature that allow to have different versions and trys of a file. It is really bad for the work process that it is not possible to save those snapshots in the file. The only way is to save them as different files. Layer Comps are nice, but are not as powerful. Snapshots allow to save different states of the document or completely different versions, without the need to duplicate all layers and then to change the visability of layers. That's not practical and error prone. Also if there is a crash there was no way to just save the file during working. This is my #1 feature request!
MarcusYes, and No. The size of a single file becomes large, but if I would save each snapshot state as a seperate file (which is the only way to preserve the states at the moment) the sum of the files sizes of those files is definetely larger than the size of a single file, because of all the redundant layers. If you chose to copy the whole layers set of each version and disable unused ones it also adds up more file size and this way you save each state in the same document, too, but without the easy handling of snapshots.
Working with seperate files is a bad crutch, because if I'm playing around with different versions I might have to redo work in each file. (Often I'm experimenting with different colors or placements and sizes). I also don't see the file size as a problem anymore. There is so much space wasted for so many things that I happily use the space for my benefit. The benefit of an option to save snapshots in a document weighs so much more.
Further the snapshot information of an open document is stored in RAM or in temp files on the disc anyway. So the information is already saved. The space will be freed of course if the file is properly closed, but if I need the snapshots for further use I need to save them anyway somewhere.
If I'm experiencing a crash of Photoshop, the OS, or just a power outage all my snapshots are gone. I had serious problems due to the bluetooth bug in the vista drivers that caused a blue screen when you brought your system into or out of stand-bye or hypernation. Unfortunatley stand-bye and hypernation are the only possibilities to not erase the snapshots and be able to continue working on them later. If I didn't save the document in the state of the main version and just played with a suboptimal version my main version was gone (and often I had more than one main version). I had to create seperate files from each snapshot an save them all. Definetely to much to think and care about. Photoshop should make work easier.
Snapshots would make it very easy and straight forward to present different variations of an idea to a client, too.

I am using Indesign cs5 version 7.0.4 with a mac OS X version 10.9.4. I am having an issue where the save and save as option disappears. I am exporting the file as .idml and then resaving to avoid losing work but has to import all the images which takes ages. Any help out there?
I believe there are a couple of similar threads about CC or CC2014 behaving this way that might give yo some hints, but CS5 is not supported on your OS and may not run properly regardless of what you do. An in-place OS upgrade or an attempt to migrate the application would both be major problems for ID, so if you did either of those things you'll want to uninstall, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall.

Recently, whenever I double click a vcard file, the only option available is to save the vcard. I used to be able to automatically open vcards with Outlook, now this option is not accesible. I reviewed the file type associations within the control panel of Windows 7 and Outlook is the default program for .vcf files.
You can check the settings in Tools > Options > Applications

Can Save and Save As dialog boxes be modified to show fewer file type options in CS3?
I'm looking to simplify the choices for the Save and Save As commands to the just the formats that I use on a regular basis to make some repetitive file processing tasks go faster. Is this possible?
Thanks for your help.
mScripting can save to Folders relative to the File’s location or to absolute Folder-paths, so that may be beneficial in Your case.
Scripting can also amend the name a File is saved as, one could even number copies progressively.
It’s naturally easiest (to create, at least) to make one Script per file-format/target-location/name-change, because otherwise creating a dialog is necessary.
The thing I have to admit here, though, is that it would probably take a little time to grasp the matter (JavaScript specifically) – so if You should be under time-pressure already it may not be very useful in the short run. -
Can't save a pdf file using the 'File' tab in FF4.
Clicking "Save Page As..." in the Firefox menu should work fine. However, if the server you are downloading from is set up incorrectly, Firefox might recommend a filename which does not have the ".pdf" extension (e.g. "get_file.php"). In this case type ".pdf" at the end of the file name.

PLEASE, TAKE THESE COMMENTS ON TWO CRITICAL BUGS VERY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE THE BUGS DESCRIBED BELOW ARE SO CRITICAL THAT I CANNOT USE THE LATEST VERSION OF FIREFOX UNLESS THEY DO NOT APPEAR IN THE LATEST VERSION AND THEREFORE I AM FORCED TO REVERT BACK TO FIREFOX 26.
I have Windows 7 64-bit and Firefox 26. I could not install Firefox 27, 28, and 29 due to the persistent presence of the two critical bugs described below. I have 8 GB of RAM and an Intel quad-core processor and a lot of hard disk space available.
I installed Firefox 27 and then Firefox 28 a while back and these two bugs described below were still present and now I have just checked again with Firefox 29 by installing it and yet again, these two bugs described below are present!! UNBELIEVABLE THAT THESE TWO CRITICAL BUGS ARE STILL PRESENT IN FIREFOX 29 WHEN I CLEARLY INFORMED YOU ABOUT THEM IN THE HELP, SUBMIT LINK OF FIREFOX!!
I am forced to revert to Firefox 26!
First, I use Windows 7 64-bit and I always use Firefox with at least 120 tabs opened. BUT I have 8 GB of RAM, an Intel core i7 quad-core processor and more than 1 TB of hard disk space. Consequently, I do not understand why I would have these two critical bugs.
With Firefox 26, I also have at least 120 tabs opened when I start Firefox and I do not have the two critical bugs described below, therefore I do not believe that the number of tabs is the reason of the two critical bugs that are present in Firefox 27, 28, and 29.
---FIRST CRITICAL BUG:
When I open ANY web page and do File, "Save Page As", the window that is supposed to open to locate the folder where I want to save this web page does NOT open at all, even if I wait a long time to see if it opens.
Same problem happened with Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!! When I reverted back to Firefox 26, this problem did NOT happen anymore!
---SECOND CRITICAL BUG:
When I use Google Images, for instance entering model in the search field of Google Images and then pressing enter.
Then I select any picture, open to a new tab this selected picture, then open a new tab by selecting the option View for this picture. Then right-click the picture and select "Save Image As".
Again, the window that is supposed to open to locate the folder where I want to save this picture does NOT open at all, even if I wait a long time to see if it opens.
Same problem happened with Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!! When I reverted back to Firefox 26, this problem did NOT happen anymore!
---THESE TWO CRITICAL BUGS DO NOT APPEAR WHEN I USE INTERNET EXPLORER 11.
I have no idea if you will be able to reproduce these two critical BUGS but I can assure you that they are not present when I use Firefox 26 and they are present when I use Firefox 27, 28, and 29. More, be aware that I have at least 100 tabs opened but I also have this same number of tabs opened in Firefox 26 and yet I do not experience these two critical bugs when I have Firefox 26!
Once again, these two bugs touch at two vital, critical very basic functions of Firefox and therefore I will NOT be able to use any version above 26 if these two bugs are still present, as they are present in Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!!!
Please, make it a priority to solve these two critical bugs. Thanks.
I did read a post related to the same issues “Firefox stops responding when trying to "save page" or "save image" | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support” at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/991630?esab=a&as=aaq
I am still reading it again to try to figure out exactly what the person did to make his problems be solved, as the post is not clear at all on what solved the problems!
In any case, all the suggestions proposed in this post do not work and I surely cannot do a system restore when it is obvious that the two bugs do not appear in Internet Explorer.First, I sent an email to the author of PhotoME to inform him of the serious issues his addon caused with Firefox latest versions.
Now, for those of you who do not have the PhotoME addon and yet experience the same problem that I had and that I described above, I suggest the following strategy.
As PhotoME did cause these problems with Firefox latest versions, I am pretty covinved other addons probably might cause these problems too. Therefore, adopt the following method.
Test one addon at a time to see if this particular addon is behind your Firefox issues like the ones I had.
So, disable one addon only at a time. Then close your Firefox and restart it from scratch and see if you still have your Firefox problems. You must restart the Firefox browser from scratch. If you still have these Firefox problems, re-enable the disabled addon, restart your Firefox (again!) and repeat the same method for every single addon that you have.
Try to be selective by choosing first addons that are more likely to cause your Firefox problems such as not very well-known or not very popular addons (like it was the case for the PhotoME addon).
If this method works or if it does not work, report it on this web page so that others can be helped with your comments.
I hope this method will help you because I was really upset that I had these Firefox problems and I first thought it was the fault of Firefox, only to discover later that this PhotoME addon was the culprit and had caused me such upset. -
Looking for Help on How To Save Video as Divx File
Can someone help? I have iMoive 4.0.1 and I need to save video clips as a Divx file. I go to the "share" button and try to compress the clip for Quicktime and choose expert settings. This gives me a list of options including Divx AVI. When I choose this option, the file is turned into an .avi file not a .divx file. ANd there is no other Divx choice available. I have talked to another iMovie user (v4.0.1., too) and--the odd thing--on his option list he has Divx (not Divx AVI). So I need assistance in either finding another way to do this with my existing 4.0.1. or finding a plug-in that will allow me to save as a Divx file. Or--if no one can tell me how to do this--let me ask if anyone out there knows whether iMovie HD 5.0 or iMovie 6.0 would allow me to do what I need to do. Thanks.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)Divx isn't a standard option, so you have downloaded some third party support for Divx. Try the latest version.

My Script Saves My Files In Incremental file names but can't save to original folder?
hi everyone,
so after a few hours of browsing the forum, was able to scotch tape this script together so it allows me to save my files in incremental file numbers.
- i create an action to edit the file and then in that action, i run this script x-amount of times.
- it works as i tested it a few times.
but here are my questions that i can't figure out.
1. right now it says to a folder that i have to designated. how would i edit this code so it'll save in the same folder as the file i am editing?
2. so far it saves as a jpeg. does anyone know the syntax to use for a gif?
and if you're kind enough...let's say i have an animated gif file, i can't edit it in photoshop so i have to use imageready but how do i replicate the above in imageready since we're on the same topic.
THANKS!!! code is below:
// This script will save the active document to a folder with an incremental sufix
// Change the options below to match your needs
var saveFolder = new Folder( 'C:\\test' );
var saveExt = 'jpg';
var saveSufixStart = '_';
var saveSufixLength = 3;
jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
jpgSaveOptions.quality = 8;
// End of user options
//==========================================
function zeroPad ( num, digit ){
var tmp = num.toString();
while (tmp.length < digit) { tmp = "0" + tmp;}
return tmp;
var docName = decodeURI ( activeDocument.name );
docName = docName.match( /(.*)(\.[^\.]+)/ ) ? docName = docName.match( /(.*)(\.[^\.]+)/ ) : docName = [ docName, docName, undefined ];
var saveName = docName[ 1 ]; // activeDocument name with out ext
var files = saveFolder.getFiles( saveName + '*.' + saveExt );// get an array of files matching doc name prefix
var saveNumber = files.length + 1;
//alert("New file number: " + zeroPad( saveNumber, saveSufixLength ));
var saveFile = new File( saveFolder + '/' + saveName + '_' + zeroPad( saveNumber, saveSufixLength ) + '.' + saveExt );
activeDocument.saveAs( saveFile, jpgSaveOptions ,true ,Extension.LOWERCASE);ImageReady? Which version of Photoshop do you use?
1. right now it says to a folder that i have to designated. how would i edit this code so it'll save in the same folder as the file i am editing?
You need to amend the line
var saveFolder = new Folder( 'C:\\test' );
accordingly.
2. so far it saves as a jpeg. does anyone know the syntax to use for a gif?
There are examples on the Forum, for example
