Open two files / documents

Hell there
I just upgraded to CS 4. In CS 3 you could open more than one ID file and drag pages from one document to another, etc. etc. But by default, ID only opens one file at a time with a tile bar to switch between the two files.
Is there a way to set ID so that it opens two files like before?
Thanks in advance for your help.

In the Interface options, disable Open Documents as Tabs.
That said, instead of dragging pages, open the pages panel menu and use
the move pages command. It's far easier to use and much more precise.

I have photoshop CC. I cannot open two files such as Tiffs and view them side by side. When I open the second file it overrides the first. Do I need to do something with preferences?

What happens when you try to use the clone stamp tool?
It should work with the images side by side.
You can setup photoshop cc to be like photoshop cs2 was on your other mac, by going to Photoshop>Preferences>Interface and unchecking
Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window Docking
And also going to Window and unchecking Application Frame

Adobe Standard slow to open two files at once

At work, I must check many PDF files to see if they are exact duplicates. However, I have noticed that when opening two files at once, the second file often takes very long to load. I am therefore wondering if there is any solution to help multiple files load faster.

If you want to work in tabbed view, do it like this:
Select the move tool. Go to the tab that contains one of the image files.
Drag the image over the tab that has the blank document (Keep holding down the mouse button). Wait till that tab opens.
Drag & drop the image into the blank document.

How to open two files in the one window in PSE11?

In older versions of PSE I was able to open two picture files in the same window by just resizing them smaller so that I could deal with them side by side........I couoldn't do it in PSE=10, and I upgraded to PSE11 and still don't know how to do it. Can somone assist me? Thanks..

In the Organizer select two thumbnails and hit the F12 key to compare them. But I guess you mean in the Editor application. In Expert Mode it‘s possible to work with floating windows rather than fixed tabs but you first need to set your preferences. Go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> General (Windows)
Photoshop Elements Editor >> Preferences >> General (Mac)
Then put a checkmark in the box against “Allow Floating Documents in Expert Mode”
Click OK
You can now open your two images and use the layout button at the bottom to choose various configurations or to cascade.

Cant we open two .cp documents in one Captivate window ?

Hi
When I am working on a captivate document and, when I am trying to open a new document in the same window, the current running document is getting closed and new document is getting opened. Why does that happens?
Are they the default settings from Captivate or something else?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks & Regards,
Kartik Pullela.

Hello,
In Captivate 4 you cannot open two documents in one program window, this will be able in Captivate 5. There you'll have tabbed documents just like in Photoshop (CS4 and CS5).
However you can open the program Captivate 4 twice, and open a document in each program window. It is not so easy to copy+paste but if you arrange both windows next to each other, this works nice.
Hope this helps

Can I open two files in photoshop cc?

I've been using Ph for years and just purchased the Creative Cloud. Upon opening Ph, I see the file taking up the whole screen with no apparent way to reduce the size and display other files side by side. I need the ability to drag a jpg onto another file.
There must be a way to do this...can somebody please help?

And you can turn off 'Open new docs in tabs' in General Preferences, but you can see the open image names across the top of the screen below the Options bar, and either click on the tab, or Ctrl (Cmd) tab between open documents. It's a nice way to work if you give it a go, and you can set up shortcuts to toggle between documents in tabs, or one of the Tiled options.
There is an excellent workshop from last year's Adobe Max called Power Shortcuts, that gives tips on the subject, but it's towards the end of a long workshop. It's one of my very favourite aids to Photoshop workflow, so give it a look if you have a spare hour sometime

PS downloaded via CC seemed to download fine but won't work. Won't even open a file/document.

I recently got a new computer and I have CC so I downloaded the CC app and downloaded LR and PS. LR runs/works fine. PS seemed to download ok but won't even open a new file:picture. I am very frustrated as I have spoken with CC tech support and they were of no help, in fact that didn't even have a clue how to navigate Windows 8! I have been working on this for a week and now very behind on my editing. Not sure who to call or what to do. Please help!! Thank you!!!

What does the crash report say about the name of the faulting module?
Yes, crashes like that are usually due to the video card driver. (though I was guessing from the original description that the image was just not drawing)
Have you tried disabling GPU drawing in Photoshop before opening a document?
Have you updated your video card driver from the GPU maker's website?

What program should i use to open pdf files, documents for email attachments. Adobe is not working

I can not open any email attachments-large or small. I had adobe and switched to internet explorer. I do not have any other choices on my computer to pick from other than word pad and it opened the attachment but was not readable.

Please download and install the latest version of Acrobat Reader from the following weblink that will help you to open and read all the PDF files:

I open Preview in full screen mode and open two files.

How do I switch between the files? In non full-screen mode I can press cmd +` but this does not work in full-screen. I can go to Windows and choose the one I want but that is inconvenient. I tried this in Mail and Windows does not work.

Hi there
The only way to display things in that manner from inside the browser is to use JavaScript to open the window. When you open the window using JavaScript, you have the ability to define many of the window characteristics, such as toolbars and all that.
Likely this will require engaging in a conversation with the support area of whomever supports the LMS you are using in order to figure out what you need to change to make this happen when the LMS serves the Captivate content.
Cheers... Rick

Gedit opens an "Unsaved document" on opening files with mouse

when I open files by double-clicking the file with mouse I always get one additional "Unsaved Document X".. which is very annoying, because I have to close tham all, and click "Close without save"... it happens in dolphin, nautilus and krusader.
when I try opening a file from terminal using "gedit filename" that does not happen.
it also does not happen if I open the files from within gedit.
any hints on how to fix this?
thank you

It's not a bug, it's a feature!
Gedit seems to display data from stdin in a new "Unsaved document". For example:
echo "foobar" | gedit
To break the pipe opened by krusader, i replaced the command 'gedit %U' in krusader with this script:
#!/bin/bash
gedit $1 < /dev/null
man, you're a genius. thank you so much! :)
ps. perhaps a more global solution is right clicking Kmenu button -> edit applications -> find gedit there -> put "gedit $1 < /dev/null" in gedits command field -> save
That's an amazing solution!
Maybe better would be...
gedit "$1" < /dev/null
(with the quotes). That way we prevent gedit to open two files with each non-spaced name in the case that our file name had blank spaces.
(gedit foo bar -->one file for 'foo' && one file for 'bar')
Thank you,

Share info between two files ?

hello, is it possible to collect automatically information of 1 cell of 1 file into a cell of another file ?

Hello
I enhanced the script.
(1) corrected some errors
(2) add the ability to use a special kind of references into the source document.
Footer colNum may be used to grab the bottom cell in the column colNum.

Can i open PAGES file on MS WORD 2003 (PC)?

i type my documents on my iBook's PAGES and i wonder, would i be able to open all these docs on the conference room's PC laptop running windows XP (MS WORD 2003) without me carrying the iBook to work i plan to bring the file i saved with PAGES on a flash drive.
what should i avoid in saving files in PAGES to avoid incompatibilities with MS WORD 2003?
thanks.

Hello Alvin,
you are only able to open Pages files/documents in Pages. I fyou want to open a document you have made in Pages in other apps, export the document to a file type the other apps can open. For word this is a ".doc" or try a ".rtf" file. But since there are a lot of incompatibilities between the different versions of Word documents for Windows, you have to try with what version of Word you are able to open the exported Pages file.
Frank.

When i open a new document, my "width" and "lenght" add two zeros automatically to file size??? For example basic A4 size in mm is 210 00mm x 297 00mm? And i can´t do nothing about it! Why on earth?

This "error note" must have something to do about it?

elppaelo,
You may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Is a Windows registry error responsible for Firefox opening two browser windows whenever I use a hyperlink from a Word file?

Whenever I use a hyperlink from an MS Word document, Firefox opens two windows instead of one. The first window is the one I need. The second contains a message that the page could not be found and the address bar contains the URL appended with "Firefoxhtml/shell/open/command".
This problem is similar but NOT identical to one in MozillaZine headed "Windows error opening internet shortcut or local HTML file - Firefox". But none of the solutions in that article work for my problem: I've disabled all extensions but that hasn't helped. I've tried editing file types so that the DDE is removed (I'm not a teccie so have no idea what that means), but after following the instructions to the letter it doesn't seem to remove the DDE. Also I read that removing the DDE is not a good idea for people like me who need to open numerous firefox browser windows at one time. Furthermore, the MozzilaZine article refers only to problems opening a URL link in a MS Outlook email when Firefox is NOT running. My problem concerns the opening of URL links in MS Word when Firefox IS running!
I've run countless different virus programmes, rootkit checkers etc but they all come up blank. However, I did come across guidance on this website: http://antivirus.about.com/od/windowsbasics/a/shellopen.htm which suggests that something may have altered the shell open command for two registry keys used by Firefox.
# HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htafile\shell\open\command
# HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htfile\shell\open\command
The default value for each of these should be "%1" %*. But on my user, the default value reads:
(for htafile) c:\windows\system32\mshta.exe "%1"%*
(for htfile) c:\programfiles\windowsNT\hypertrm.exe"%1
What should the value be for these two files?
Can anyone sort this for me please? Bear in mind I'm not a teccie!
