Opening documents with custom layer structure, especially default layer unlocked...

Hi, is it possible to open documents such as jpg screenshots which are apparently a locked layer by default, as instead an unlocked layer?
Would it even be possible/easy to have a method of opening such documents with the following layers:
1 original image (unlocked)
2 blank transparent layer
3 white locked background
4 group folder called 'archive' with a copy of the original image, with the group set to invisible
Could a droplet be made to open documents with such a "precreated" layer set-up?
For example, I would like to take a screenshot or scan, drag it onto a droplet, and have it open with the layer structure outlined above.
Thank you thank you thank you...

"The image is NOT locked."
Shesh whatever you call it the image the background the initial layer "the so called layer" I would just like to change its default opening to UNLOCKED so at minimum, as I have said four times now, it can be placed in a folder called "Archive" without having to f'ing unlock it...scripting additional opening actions in addition to that at this point must be beyond your imagination
"Have you tried working on the so called locked layer?"
HAVE YOU READ THE ORIGINAL QUESTION????
Working on the background layer is not my primary concern, organizing layers automatically at the start of a workflow is...but nevertheless...erasing part of the background in order to reveal imported images or drawings created beneath it on new layers requires the background be unlocked (so erased sections are transparent rather than black), changing layer order requires unlocking, moving the background on a resized canvas requires unlocking....and of course placing it within a folder requires unlocking -- what the hell is the advantage of it being default locked?? why isn't this optional?
I can't imagine people working on complex images with multiple folders and forty plus layers in various folders and such -- nevertheless consistently want to leave the background layer just sitting there hanging out in its default locked state. I'm ALWAYS unlocking the damn layer...if only, for the FIFTH TIME, for organizational purposes (to change its layer order and place it within a folder).
SHESH!
"Methinks..." Oh please...next time read the question.

  • Open document with same layer setup as when I closed it

    With many docs having over 100 layers, sublayers and objects, I wish I could open each doc with the same layers/objects compressed or expanded as I had when last working on the doc. When I open a doc layers are expanded, some objects are expanded under layers, some aren't. Thus I must compress all the layers with their objects before I can effectively work with the doc. This is time consuming.
    Question: Is there any preference which keeps layers/object in the layer panel exactly the same way as I left them when I last closed the doc?
    Thanks!

    Thanks Scott. Your 'No' must mean that there is no way to open an AI file and have the layers appear as I left them when last working on the file. Illustrator should really address this issue, or at least provide an option rather than simply  'Illustrator always expands the Layers Panel.' Yes, I use the method you suggests, but with highly complex docs it remains annoying (I work on detailed maps with names, dots, roads, feature, etc.). While I really like Illustrator after CS3 and CS5, I still yearn for some of the simple things Freehand had, e.g., opening a file just the way I left it. I'd still take all its additional features in Illustrator CS5, though.

  • Open Documents with Office Web App - SharePoint 2013

    We have configured Office Web App for our SharePoint 2013 Farm and in Site settings, Site Collection Features,  have disabled "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" . Out of 15 sites, all documents in 13 sites open in Office
    Web App. One of the 2 sites where the document still open using Client Application is a Wiki site.
    Advanced propertied for the libraries settings has been set to "Use the server default (Open in the browser)". Anything else to check to open documents in Office Web App?
    Thanks

    Hi,              
    As I understand, you encountered the issue when you want to open documents with Office Web App.
    Check things below:
    1. In the library setting->advanced setting, you can choose the open in the browser to see if the same situation will occur.
    2. Check if you have not enable the Open Documents in Client Applications by Default feature.
    If you choose Activate to enable the Open in Client feature (documents will open in the client application), or
    Deactivate to disable the Open in Client feature (documents will open in the browser).
    You can go to Site setting->site collection administration->site collection feature->Open
    Documents in Client Applications by Default to set the feature.
    The article below is about how to set the default open behavior for browser-enabled documents.

  • Automatically open document with Pages 5

    When I upgraded from Pages 4.3 to 5x, documents were automatically set by the installation to all open with version 5.0.x . Due to some initial problems with Pages 5, I changed the setting so that Pages 4.3 opened all documents. I did that by command-i, get info, open with Pages 4.3, and change all.
    Now I want to default back to opening with pages 5.0.1, but if I do the same procedure (command-i, get info, open with Pages 5, and change all), Pages is still opening documents with version 4.3.

    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    That makes it impossible to get the System to stick with a choice in Finder.
    Trash/archive whichever one you don't want.

  • Error when opening document with ECL control: INVALID_DATA

    Hi Gurus,
    I've tried to search the net for this problem but could not find anything and I'm stuck now.
    Description:
    we're using ECL to view attached documents (to POs etc.) which are stored through ArchiveLink on the content repository.
    when we try to open this document, time-to-time we get following error:
    Error when opening document with ECL control: INVALID_DATA
    Message no. SDV004
    by time-to-time I mean that when we try to open same attachment again it opens successfully (sometimes we need to re-open it 3-4 times to get it)
    what we've tried is to enlarge timeout for HTTP protocol (tx SMICM, from former 30 to actual 60) but only effect we got is that we're waiting for the error longer time
    It will be really great if anybody of you guys can give me an advice where the problem can be or where should I look and what to check
    Thanks,
    David

    Hi Christoph,
    thanks for tip, unfortunately this was already flagged, currently settings are:
    for Display Settings:
    yes - include ECL control
    use HTML control
    empty - maximum viewer wait time
    (do you think that setting some value for this could help)
    yes - deactivate generic object services in viewer
    no - doc display as dialog box
    yes - deactivate data provider cache
    Storage Settings:
    yes - always copy document class from document type
    yes - permit multiple assignment
    Thanks,
    David

  • "Open document with" has started to appear

    GroupWise 7 client and server - we do not integrate our documents with the
    appropriate applications when installing GroupWise clients.
    Until recently when double clicking on a document in the library - either
    by browsing the library directly or using Find - GroupWise fired up the
    appropriate application (usually MS word from Office 2003) then loaded the
    document, returning it to the library when you had finished editing.
    We are now being asked to select the application to be used to open the
    document, even though the icon for the file type in the library shows the
    correct application.
    This has started recently for me and other users. As far as I know we have
    made no changes. Is there any way to force GroupWise to use the appropriate
    application without prompting the user.
    This problem does not occur if I use Windows Explorer to browse documents
    on the local machine or on the network - so Windows knows the correct
    application to use to open the .doc files.
    Thanks
    Ian

    More information:
    It's a particular problem with GroupWise. When I double click on an
    attachement to an e-mail, where the default action is to open, I'm also
    presented with a list of programs to use to open the document. Even when I
    say "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" the setting
    does not stick.
    Yet double clicking on a .doc file in Windows Explorer always loads word
    and opens the doc without asking me which program to use. So my PC knows
    about the correct file associations - it's GroupWise that forgets
    Thanks

  • Problem Saving or Opening Documents with Office 2013 Home & Business

    Hello there,
    as the title says, I'm running into a problem when trying to save or open Documents in Word,Excel,etc. (all Office Programs)
    I get the message "Microsoft Word stopped working". Or Excel, Powerpoint...
    I already tried to deinstall and used the Office-FixIt-Tool to clean the PC.
    I also updated the driver for my Graphic-Card, installed the newest Windows-Updates and checked if it is caused by an Add-In.
    None of this helped. The Problem still exists when starting in Safe-Mode.

    Hello George,
    No, it has never worked.
    For testing I installed Office 2010 and this worked fine.
    But as I said, all versions had been deinstalled before reinstalling Office 2013 (even cleaned up with the FixIt-Tool).

  • Unable to open documents with policies

    We are using a test version of the policy server to evaluate the features of the product.
    We had some trouble to install the server and to use it with Adobe Professional but now we can protect pdf files with policies. Most of the problems was solved with the help of articles in these forum :-)
    Unfortunately we are not able to open the documents with the Adobe Reader :-( Only the computer on which the documents were protected is able to show the files. On all other computers we became the error message
    b "Your computer has to be connected to network. Your right to open these document offline is expired."
    In German: b "Dieser Computer muss mit dem Netzwerk verbunden sein, um dieses Dokument zu öffnen. Ihre Berechtigung, dieses Dokument offline zu öffnen, ist abgelaufen. Wenn dieser Computer nicht mit dem Netzwerk verbunden ist, stellen sie eine Verbindung her, und versuchen sie erneut, das Dokument zu öffnen."
    The policy server is reachable with browser and ssl works.
    Reader versions: 7.0.0, 7.0.5, 7.0.8
    Regards

    It's been my experience that when you get the "Not Connected to Network" message, it simply means that the client PC doesn't have the certificate of authentication installed.
    I suggest that you check to see if the certificate is installed on the PC that's connecting. (In IE, you would click on Tools-Internet Options-Content-Certificates.) Then check a computer that's not connected. If there is no certificate installed, it won't connect. To install a certificate, you must click "View Certificate" immediately after a hitting the page and getting the security dialog warning, then click "Install Certificate."
    Hope this helps.

    That's because nobody has posted an answer. You can find the discussion at how do I save a document with different page orientations to one pdf? I think this is pretty much what happens on Mac, but you can combine the separate PDFs to one.

  • Proplem with opening documents with Reader 9.1

    Hello Together.
    I hope someone can help me.
    I have a interesting problem. When i want open a PDF Document with a doubleclick, then the Reader hangs most time. This will happen on different documents. If i open this document over Acrobat Reader menu, the document will open correctly.
    The next crazy point is, if i want rename the folder which contains the pdf files, the explorer will hang also.
    Our configuration.
    Windows Vista SP1 and SP2
    Profile Path local
    Adobe Reader 9.1.2
    Domain Logon.
    What i have tested:
    - Same installation with a local user account. = Works.
    - Reinstall = problem exists
    I have found a small thing. If i delete the UserCache.bin file int the APPDATA, then it works until the files is recreated.
    Other PDF reader from other companies works without any problem.
    I hope somebody can give me some hints or a solution for this problem.
    Greets
    Mike

    I am experiencing a similar problem as well with Reader 9.1.
    I am unable to open a PDF file by double clicking. The file is displayed with a PDF/Adobe icon so the file is associated with Adobe Reader. However when you double click a dialogue box appears saying that it was unable to open the file as Adobe Acrobat Reader needs to be installed first, which it is. I have tried un-installing, then re-installing but still it happens.
    If I open Adobe Reader and then drag the file in to the Adobe Reader window it will open the document OK.
    Any ideas why this is happening?
    thanks
