I', using illustrator CS6 and I need my file opened..!

Nobody can know without seeing the file and having more info about your system. Does the file open in Acroibat/ Adobe Reader for instance?

  • Non-Alphanumeric Character in a String

    I understand if we have a non-alphanumeric character in a String, we have to put a backward slash in front of that character. For example, we have to put a backward slach in front of a "backward slash". Eg. we do \\ to put a backward slash in a String.
    What about a dot (.) or a dash (-)? Do we have to do the same thing?

    No, it's only for control characters like "newline", characters with special meaning in strings i.e. " and \ and any character that can't be represented in the character encoding of your java source file.

  • Non-hex character in hex string after upgrade to Yosemite

    Hi,
    When I try to open some of my files I get an error: "Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. Non-hex character in a hex string". I could open the files before.
    The only thing I've done since I opened the file last was to upgrade to Yosemite. The error occurs on both my Mac Pro (late 2013) and Mac Book Pro with Yosemite. Unfortunately, I have no access to a Mac with Mavericks and CS6 but I will try to fix one to verify that the file works there.
    Affected files  (Created in Illustrator CS6 on Mavericks):
    services.ai
    visual guidelines v.0.4.pdf
    visual guidelines.ai
    Tested steps:
    Open previous versions of the same file from our repository
    Update Illustrator CS6 to latest version
    Download Illustrator CC
    Tried to Place the file into another file (same error)
    Tried to repair file Enable content recovery mode | Illustrator CS2-CS5

    Hi svepdesigncenter,
    How you are accessing those files from your repository?
    There might be chances of getting files corrupted when transferring.
    File may have been sent as ascii when it should have been sent as binary or vice versa.
    In 99% of transfers it's ALWAYS safest to zip an AI or eps file before sending it anywhere.

  • Replace hex character in a string with another hex character

    Hi Guys,
    Heres a problem scenario, hex character 92 looks very much like hex character 27 (apostrophe).
    I need to write a program that can replace all hex character 92 to hex 27 in a string.
    Being a novice on the regular expressions, I would appreciate if somebody can show
    the exact syntax to to perform this replacement.
    Many Thanks
    -Anil

    I don't think you need to use regex to do this:
    String s = something();
    char a = 0x27;
    char b = 0x92;
    s.replace(a,b);
    And don't forget that since Strings are immutable you need:
    s = s.replace(a,b);to do anything useful.

  • Find a non-numeric character in a string

    I have a 3 strings (1) 'AB99CDEFGH0012%' (2) 'ABCDEFGH' (3) 'ABCD11'
    how do i find out a that string has non numeric characters
    Thanks

    SELECT TO_NUMBER(:String) FROM DUAL;
    is a quick way to find out :)
    A good method would be.....
    SELECT 1 FROM DUAL WHERE TRANSLATE(:String, 1234567890, '-') IS NOT NULL;
    The statement will filter out ALL numbers, leaving behind any characters, A, B, @, ~, etc...

  • Identify Non English Character in a String

    All,
    We have a requirement to Identify the Non English Characters from the User Key In data and return an error message saying only valid English, Numeric and some special characters are allowed.
    For Example, If the User enters data like "This is a Test data" then the return value should be true. or if he enters something like "My Native Language is inglés" then it should return false. Similarly any Chinese, russian or japansese character entryies should also return false.
    How can we achieve this?
    Thanks,
    Nagarajan.

    Hi Nagarajan,
    You could use Unicode character blocks or simply craft a regular expression that contains all the characters you need. The latter is easy to understand and gives you full control over which characters you want to allow. E.g. I assume you might want something like this:
    if(!"This is a proper input string".matches("[\\s\\w\\p{Punct}]+")) {
      // Issue error message and re-get input string
    The String method matches() takes a regular expression as input parameter. If you haven't dealt with regular expressions before, check out the Java API help for class java.util.regex.Pattern. Here's a short breakdown of the pattern I used:
    <ol>
    <li>The square brackets [] enclose a list of allowed characters; here you can explicitly list all allowed characters.</li>
    <li>You can specify ranges like a-z as a character class, list individual characters like ;:| or utilize predefined character classes (\s for any whitespace character, \w for all letters a-z and A-Z, underscore and 0-9 and the posix class \p for a list of punctuation symbols). For a complete list check Java API help on java.util.regex.Pattern.
    <li>The + at the end indicates that the characters listed can occur once or more.</li>
    </ol>
    There's other ways to achieve what you want, but I think this might be an easy way to start with.

  • Php / mysql  replace non-ascii character in a string

    I have a script that converts a ms word document to text then
    uploads that to a blob field on a mysql db.
    During the conversion some characters my not be recognised.
    When i then call up the blob for display on the browser...those
    characters show up as unknown characters with a ? or box. Is there
    a way to preg_replace those unknown characters before displaying
    them.
    thanks

    What about fixing the encoding problem instead? If chars get
    lost during
    such a transfer
    document->script->database->script->browser it's always
    an encoding problem somewhere down the road.
    The recommendation these days is to use UTF-8, which avoids
    most of
    these old problems. You just have to make sure that your
    documents are
    properly stored as UTF-8 in the database and delivered as
    such to the
    script and the browser, then you don't have to worry about
    special chars
    anymore.
    That's just the general idea. I can't be more specific, since
    I don't
    know your conversion script or the database structure.

  • Non-hex character in a hex string error message

    Hi everyone,
    I encountered n error message in Illustrator "Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. Non-hex character in a hex string." when trying to open a particular file.
    File was originally created on a Windows 7 PC, tried opening file on Mac OS 10.7.5, same Illustrator version 18. Also tried opening in PDF, Distiller, but didn't help.
    Did tried to change Illustrator Preferences in both Windows and Mac, following the steps in the TecNote:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/500/cpsid_50031.html
    When trying to open the file from the File > Open menu, with the keys held down, it did not open a blank file window, neither did it created a duplicate copy in the Finder where the file is located.
    The file in question had about 15 artboards,  a few embedded images, approx 2.6MB size.
    Any suggestions/assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi Monika,
    The file was .ai file, as mentioned earlier, was created in Illustrator ver 18.
    Not emailed, stored in the folder, on the Windows PC, not a server. Last saved few days ago, tried to reopen the file from the same computer, but could no longer opened.
    No, Illustrator did not crash, just the error message "Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. Non-hex character in a hex string."

  • Non-hex character in a hex string

    My Illustrator file will not open in Illustrator and I get the "non-hex character in a hex string" window whenever I try to open it. It does open in Acrobat but nothing else. I can't even save it as a pdf file..
    Is there any way I can get around that or fix it?

    karam,
    The first thing to try is to use File>Place in a new document and see how much, if anything, is saved this way.
    The next thing to try is to repair the file code, which is more difficult. The basics are told in this TechNote, the actual recovery consists of changing/adding/deleting code.

  • How to sum space delimited hex values in a string, and do other stuff?

    Hello
    I am trying to write a Bourne shell script that takes a non-constant-length character string as input, converts each character to hexidecimal value, sums each value, takes the two's complement of the sum, logically ANDS it with FF, and if any of the resultant "nibbles" are a-f, print/save that nibble as A-F, for later display as a two-character-long character string
    For example, assume a variable (as in non-constant) length variable $A
    A="w04:0;2"
    the road that I started down was to define
    B=$( echo $A | od -An -t x1 -N"${#A}" )
    # for this example, $B=77 30 34 3a 30 3b 32
    It's the middle part where I need some magic. What I want to do is add the whitespace-delimited hex values of this string, for this example
    C=77+30+34+3a+30+3b+32
    so for this example, $C=1b2
    then take two's complement of $C; for this example, $TWOS_COMP=ffff ffff ffff ffe4e
    and logically AND it with FF; for this example, almost-final answer is 4e
    then save final result as uppercase character string variable (for this example, variable's contents would be 4E)
    Is what I'm trying to do intuitively obvious to any of you gurus out there, that could rattle off an answer? I'm okay with trashing my approach thus far and trying something totally different, within the constraint that it run inside a Bourne shell script.
    Thanx in advance, if anybody can help!

    I've made progress. I've converted each character of a non-constant-length string $A into a space-delimited string of hex values, added them up, and retained the least significant byte (i.e., the 8 least significant bits). Here's how:
    B=$( echo $A | od -An -t x1 -N"${#A}" )
    D=0
    for C in $B; do
      C=0x$C
      D=$(($D + $C))
    done
    D=$(($D & 16#FF))
    D=`echo "ibase=10;obase=16;$D" | bc`
    The missing piece now is how to take the two's complement of $D. Anybody out there with any ideas on how to handle the two's complement piece inside a Bourne shell?
    Thanx

  • Replace Non-Numeric Characters with a Numeric Character in a String

    Hi Guys,
    I need to replace all the non-numeric characters (including embedded blanks & hyphen) in a string to a numeric character '1'.
    The trailing blanks should not be replaced.
    e.g. "P22233344455566" should be changed to "122233344455566"
    &    "49-1234567           " should be changed to "4911234567          "
    Please help.

    Use [replace|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPREPLACE_IN_PATTERN.htm] with a regular expression to translate any non-numeric character (i.e. any character not between 0 and 9) to 1:
      REPLACE ALL OCCURENCES OF REGEX '[^0-9]' IN value WITH '1'.
    Cheers, harald
    p.s.: In older releases [translate|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPTRANSLATE.htm] would also do the trick, but is more lengthy, because one would need to specify each individual character that should be replaced, e.g.:
      TRANSLATE value TO UPPER CASE.
      TRANSLATE value USING
          ' 1_1-1a1b1c1d1e1f1g1h1i1j1k1l1m1n1o1p1q1r1s1t1u1v1w1x1y1z1'.

  • Concatenate Hex'04' to text string

    Hello Peter,
    use a single TextField and concatenate the string before putting it into the context. FormCalc or JavaScript won't be needed then.
    A good way to determine where the problem resides is to create an addition WD based
    TextView and display the same data there. If it shows up with data there and with no
    data in the form, then the problem resides in the form rather than in the WD context.
    Best regards,
    Thomas
