Open Illustrator template file (open original) for editing?

I know InDesign has an "Open Original" option in the file open dialog box so you can open and edit an indesign template, but I don't see an equivalent in Illustrator.
how would i open the original AIT file so i can make changes straight to it withouth having to resave a new file?

Thanks for submitting this thread--I've been wondering the same thing.
Has anything changed at all in the three years since? I have about 600 templates to which I need to make a number of small edits, and it would save a lot of time to avoid navigating to the original template to save over it.
Thanks!

Opening Jpegs for editing same as Raw

Can anyone please help me?
I use Photoshop Elements 6 and when I want to open a RAW image, I get a set of sliders on the right hand side that allows me to do basic editing there before actually opening the image. I like to use this method of editing. Is it possible to get the same screen when I open up a jpeg for editing? I have attached a screen of my preferred method.
Very many thanks
Paul

Barbara your instruction is correct but when I do that I was ask to fill up width and height in pixel. I try to use the original file size but it says the size is larger than the original. I tried to use smaller pizel and it says it is too samall. I open it anyway and what I saw is just dot scatered all over the the photo. Will you please help me what size I have to use?

"Error 7 occurred at Invoke Node..." when attempting to open .vi for editing

I am attempting to open a vi for editing, and instead the vi is attempting to execute. I get the error:
"Error 7 occurred at Invoke Node in BuildTargetBuildSpecification.vi->BuildXFS.vi"
Possible reason(s): LabVIEW: File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS, and / on Linux. Verify that the path is correct using the command prompt or file explorer.
Method Name: Project: Open
When I close the Error Message dialog, Labview terminates.

Hi R.Jay,
Error 7 generally occurs when trying to create an executable when there is an extra instance of a top-level vi. You may need to remove the file as a support file (but leave it as the top level vi).
Are you trying to run an executable that has already been created? Unless you have already built an executable, it should not automatically run when opened. Also, was it built in a previous version of LabVIEW? Sometimes this error can be seen when you upgrade to a newer version without compiling.

Clicking on thumbnail in iPhoto does not open image for editing/viewing.

Clicking on images in iPhoto 7 does not open large images for editing or viewing. No ? or ! shows, just blank white screen with all buttons active as if the image is ready for editing. iPhoto library is about 50GB. What I've tried: created new library and imported 20 photos, rebuilt library w/keys using last 3 items in list, rebuilt library using iPhoto Library Manager. Quit everything, repaired permissions via Disk Utility. Nothing has worked. Was working fine a few days ago with same camera, same settings, etc. Utterly baffling, would love other suggestions?

Understand further about "excel files is locked for editting by me"

Hi friends. I hope you are doing well.
i have a problem with an user in my office when opening an excel file from Server:
“<file_name>.xlsx is locked for editing” . The error shows that it is being used by its own user and that user could not open this file.
- Our company is domain network and our Domain Controller is also File Servers.
* I got a workaround action plan is: "unshared the folder which contains the problematic files in server, then share it again". However, this only works with folders which contain a small volume of data. For several GB it will take a considerable
time and affect to network availability.
I have few questions:
1. Is there anyway to kill the process/service which is controlling the "excel files" at server ? ( Since i reboot client machine but the error message still persists), beside my workaround action plan.
2.When i use OpenFilesView (from the link: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/opened_files_view.html) i can see that the excel files is opened by 2 process : "xlsx and xls" from remote computer. However, i can not kill the process using OpenFilesView.
So i would like to ask: Is there any way to kill a process from remote host?
3. What actually happens when sharing a files from Server in domain ? ( mechanism of sharing files)
I would appreciate if you can give me some advices for my concern.
Thank you very much! Have a good day.

Hi,
We have a lot of possible causes for this error, I would suggest your to take a look at this public blog and try the steps out there:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/archive/2012/05/14/the-definitive-locked-file-post.aspx
Also, below KB article describes the way that how Excel saves files, you might also want to take a look. There may be some softwares or process is accessing these temporary files. Check if there is any temporary file (~$filename.xls
or ~$filename.xlsx) in the shared folder, delete them and try again.

Hope this helps.

How do I get DVD files into FCP for editing?

I have three DVD's that I need to get access to for editing purposes. The DVD's open and play in DVD player with no problem, but how can I import it into FCP? The files in the DVD's folder are "BUP," "IFO," and "VOB" files -- what do I do to get them into a format I can edit?
Thank you so much!

Oh...wait..I forgot.
#7 DVD into FCP
Shane's Stock Answer #7:
To start, I will state that trying to capture any DVD you bought or rented, be it a Hollywood movie or exersize video, is illegal. I will not give you any tips on how to bypass copy protection. It is there for a reason.
To capture footage from a DVD, you have a couple options.
1) Route the DVD player to your DV camera or deck via the RCA cabling. Then you can put the footage you want ontp DV tape and have the benefit of timecode in case the need to recapture comes up.
2) You can get a great application called DVDxDV (Google it). This opens up the DVD and allows you to convert the video to DV/NTSC footage. And it allows you to only convert what you want by allowing you to mark in and out points. The free version puts a big watermark across the center of your footage, but if you pay $25 for the standard version, that goes away.
Or you can use Mac the Ripper or Mpeg Stream clip. These are free.

Which template file is used for DITA 1.2 publishing?

Hi all,
when I save a ditamap as composite document, which template file must I edit to change the layout?
So far I have modified the topic templates (task.template.fm etc.) but I have not found the template relevant for the output yet.
Update
The ditafm_output.ini file contains the line CompositeDocTemplate_1.2=ditabase.template.fm but exchanging all ditabase.template.fm files in the FM directory did not do the job.
This seems like is a very basic question so I wonder why it is not documented - or am I missing something? The only workaround I found was to manually import the EDD and formatting from my template into the FM document each time after publishing.
Robert

Either I'm confused about dates, or there's a harmonic convergence going on. I am just now grappling with this problem myself and lo, here is a discussion that started yesterday!
So far I have tried altering the Struct Apps file to specify which template to use in the DITA_1.2_ditabase applicaton, and I have tried editing the template file stored in ...\AdobeFrameMaker11\Structure\xml\DITA_1.2\app\technicalContent\template\ditabase.templ ate.fm... Neither of these activities makes a difference. So when Maker saves a DITA map as a composite document, does it use any of the applications in the App Definitions file? Or is it using hard-coded magic for some unexplicable reason? If the latter, that should be logged as a bug.
I'm getting convinced that Maker doesn't use the Struct Apps file at all when saving as a composite doc because I have deleted all app definitions from the file except DITA_1.2_ditabase. I still get the same results no matter how I define the template. Then when I use Scott's trick to check which app created the document, it shows DITA_1.2_ditabase -- BUT, the Set Application list shows the full set of apps that I could choose from the default struct apps file. (Yes, I have loaded my changed struct apps file -- and verified that it has only one app in it by restarting Maker and choosing EDIT struct apps file... It has a single app as expected.) So I don't believe I have reduced the set of defined struct apps at all, even though I have only one app in the loaded struct apps file! Where is this information coming from, and why can't I control it? In short, this area of the product is unpredictable for my feeble brain, and I can't afford to spend any more time on it. I have deadlines to meet.
Bottom line, I can't seem to do ANYTHING that will change Maker's behavior when saving a dita map as a composite document. This is a real problem, BTW. It means that my daily work flow always includes the stupid, manual steps of importing formats and EDD from another template after I create the file! Can this possibly be acceptable behavior? Note to Adobe... This is the sort of thing that drives a customer to use a different product.

Can't open photo for editing in Photoshop Elements

I am trying to edit a photo from my LR 5 Library in PE 11, but when I follow the normal process to do this, PE opens OK but my photo does not appear in PE at all. Is there some bug I don't know about? Or some other solution to fix this problem?

Go to LR preferences and look under the External Editing tab to ensure you have the editor application selected. A common mistake is to choose the shortcut. If necessary click the choose button again and on Windows navigate to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11
You need to select PhotoshopElementsEditor
On Mac OSX you should select the application from the Support Files Folder. Click link below:

Saving Illustrator CS4 file to PDF for printing. NO FORUMS CAN HELP

I have put threads on the PDF forum, they told me to put it on Illustrator forum and still know one has an answer, Tried to contact Adobe about this and just got a run around. Can anyone please help?
My problem results from when I save my file from Adobe Illustrator to a PDF for printing. After saving from Illustrator to a PDF and proofing it on screen all my gradients and other elements are where I need them to be on the page. But when I upload them to my printing company template all the gradients and so on are not even close to be in the right spot. How can I solve this problem, Is there a new setting in CS4 I need to know? Because I never had this problem with Illustrator CS3.

Hi Reggie,
I'm far from an Illustrator expert, but let's see if we can gather som more information form you that might help me, or someone else, figure out what's going wrong. Can you post a screnn capture of the arwork in Illustrator so I can see what the gradients are and how they're positioned? Use the little camera Icon thing in the toolbar above the message editing space on the web page.
Next, tell us about the printer's template. What application is it made in? What version?
What version of Illustrator and what OS are you using to create your art?
Is it only the gradients that are in the wrong place? Maybe a screen shot of that would help too.

Files not available for editing after closing them

User will close a file, but not In Design itself. No matter how long he waits, he cannot then re-open and edit or re-name that file until he reboots his computer. This happens regardless of whether the file is local or network based. It's also not file-specific, it happens no matter what file he works on. A couple of Dreamweaver users have complained about this too. The In Design user is on CS6 (CC) and the DW users are on CS5. All users on Windows 7 Professional (x64) and x64 version of their respective CS suite. Other than trashing the prefs, any other suggestions? Any help is appreciated.

I can only toss out something Peter has mentioned from time to time, could be off base.

Change the default file (template file in RTF) for a seeded R12 AP report

I have a requirement to change the layout of the a seeded AP report "Selected Payment Schedules report". I logged in as XML Publisher responsibility, queried the seeded template APINVSEL and tried to update "Default file" field to use my own RTF file instead of the seeded APINVSEL.rtf. The field is not changeable. I tried 1) putting end date to the template, 2) disabled the concurrent program or changed the program output format to text instead of XML. I still cannot update the default RTF file after doing any of the above.
Please help. Thanks!
Mike

Garech,
I have the same issue. I copy the data definition with updated rtf. When the user select a template in Payment Manager and submit payment process request, the report is one of the four concurrent programs run automatically. User told me there is no option for her to select the xml template. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I converted a PDF file to Word for editing. Now done, how do I convert it back to PDF?

How do I get a document that I converted from PDF to word back to PDF once edited?

Hi gcw92591042,
I just checked your subscription details and you are currently subscribed to Adobe Export PDF service that enables you to convert pdf documents into various other formats like .doc, .rtf etc.
However in order to convert such files back into pdf format, you need to subscribe to Adobe PDF Pack(Reliably Create PDFs, Convert PDFs, & Merge PDFs Online | Adobe PDF Pack ).
Alternatively you can use Acrobat software to edit your pdf files without getting into the hassle of converting them into doc format and vice-verse. You can download a free 30 day trial from this Link - Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X
Hope that helps with your query. Please revert back if you have any other questions or need any further assistance.

Opening image in PS for editing

I have been using Bridge and thought I'd download a LR trial and see how it works. I like the interface, but have one problem that may be a preference setting I cannot find. I am used to double-clicking on the thumbnail to open it for editing in PS. I cannot seem to do that in LR. The only way I can open an image is to right-click and then select 'Edit in' and select 'Photoshop'.
Is there an easier way?
