Opening svg files in CS3

Hey everyone,
When I try to open a .svg file in Adobe Photoshop CS3 I get this message...
Could not open your file because the file was not the right kind of document.
Any ideas on how to open it? I know that it is a .svg file by the way.
To help, I downloaded this .pdf
http://www.thedecalsource.com/files/resources/2009_NW_CAR.pdf
and saved it as a .svg in Illustrator.
Thanks for any help.

Indeed, originally Photoshop doesn't support SVG, but here is the sollution, that adds this support: http://svg.scand.com/

Import/Open SVG Files in Fireworks CS5!

Hey,
I really need to import/open SVG files in Fireworks CS5. I have been searching the Web for days now, but I can't find anything. The reason for this is that I get thousands of files sent to me in SVG format that I needto incorporate into my designs made in Fireworks. I solve it today by opening the files in Illustrator, copy each one of them, paste in Fireworks... WTF!
So please tell me someone made this easy for me?
Many thanks!

I also have this problem. I didnt exatly find a solution, however here's the way i learnt to use .svg without losing editability in Fireworks.
1. Download Inkscape as suggested by Joyce Evans Erb. Here
2. Open the SVG file you need to work with in Inkscape.
3. Go to File > Save As and select .eps (Encapsulated PostScript)
4. Open the saved .eps file in Fireworks.
Now you might get a bit of unnecessary space around the file but it should work out just fine.
Also, if you havn't already go check out thenounproject.com . It's a great resource for us Fireworks types.
As a final note, i'd just like to plead with Adobe to put a bit more effort into Fireworks. It's a great program that i feel is being dragged along with the suite. (Hope to see some really awesome stuff in Fireworks CS6.5 *wink* )

[Solved by adding GQview]Is Feh not capable of opening svg files...?

I have installed Feh from the community repos, along with imlib2. according to the official website, feh can open SVG files, but I get an error...
feh WARNING: /home/jaydoc/archlinux-artwork-1.1/logos/archlinux-grad1-dark.svg - No Imlib2 loader for that file format.
So is feh capable of doing this or not..? Am I missing any needed dependency..? I don't want to use inkscape etc, as they seem to have a lot of dependencies.

@skottish...
I tried using gqview to set the wallpaper. trouble is, when I log out and back in, Openbox is unable to 'remember' the wallpaper used. When using feh, I used the eval cat command in autostart. Is there something similar for gqview too...?
anyway, I am now using feh to set the wallpaper - because I need to use imlib2 anyway to use scrot., so feh adds just 0.25 MB more..!
I browse images with gqview and can set the wallpaper with feh from it.
In the gqview preferences go to editors and add feh wallpaper with feh --bg-scale %f as the command
I put mine #2 under gimp so while browsing images in gqview i can hit control 2 and it sets it as wallpaper or right click and go to edit>feh wallpaper.

Cannot open DNG files in CS3 or Lightroom?

When I convert RAW files from my new DMC-LF1 camera to DNG, I can not open the files in CS3 or Lightroom. Isn't DNG supposed to be a universal format?
I do not have problems with converted DNG files from my Nikon cameras.

I use the free Adobe DNG Converter vers. 8.1 der supporter mit Panasonic DMC-LF1. I just downloaded this version and now am able to open my Panasonic DNGs in Lightroom, but not in CS3. There are no problems opening my Nikon DNGs in both programs.
This certainly leaves the problem about DNG as a universal format lasting far out in the future, doesn't matter what camera the file came from.

As far as I know DNG is supposed to be standardised format. What are you using to convert the RAW files to DNG?

Opening svg files in Illustrator cs3

hi,
svg files which I open in Illustrator have all lines very thick (about 20times thicker they should be). All the files look good in svg adobe viewer.They come from a "closed" system so I do not know how were they saved.
Peter

Ed/Ray,
They are Artios Cad files. Artio Cad is a 3D program from Esko Graphics used for packaging work. Lets you fold your box in 3D etc.
You will need the Esko Pluggins in order to open your ard files in Illustrator. Not sure if they have them for CS3 yet but they do for CS2 and below and are free I believe from Esko's web site.
Good luck,
Jeff

Can't open RAW files in CS3 or Bridge

I am using PowerMac G4 running OS 10.4.10, one gig RAM, with an Nvidia Geforce 4 MX graphics card. Adobe Updated notified me the new Camera RAW plugin was available so I said yes to install it. The installer hung half way through and I had to force quit it. Since then I can't open RAW (Nikon NEF) files in Bridge or CS3. I get generic raw file thumbnails in Bridge and the error "Could Not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this file type" when trying to open one into ACR from Bridge or Photoshop. I tried d'loading the plug-in and manually putting it in the proper folder, still no good. I have reinstalled the program from the install disk, purged the main and folder cache in Bridge, deleted the PS preferences (command+alt+ shift when opening PS), repaired OS permissions, and the like, all to no avail. Photoshop or Bridge just don't see the plug-in when opening NEF files, though it does show in the "Bout P, which is in the proper place- root/library/application support/adobe/plug-ins/CS3/file formats/camera RAW Plugin
How can I fix it?

Greetings! I am having the same problem.
I'm a graphic designer (not a photographer), working on Mac 10.4.11, CS3 (ps is 10.0.1, bridge is 2.1.1.9) with the latest ACR plug-in (4.3.1) and the latest DNG Converter. Our photo library is on a server, accessed by multiple computers.
We can preview .CR2 in Bridge, open .CR2 in PS.
6However, we cannot preview or open .CRW files. We have tested on three machines, all with the same problem. In the past (before CS3) we were able to open and process these files.
Tried opening .CR2 files in CS2 and couldn't. Couldn't open them with DNG Converter or Graphix Converter.
Have tried all the standards fixes:
1. Correctly updated the most recent Camera Raw plug-in, following Adobes very explicit instructions as to where the plug-in goes (checked it three times).
2. Removed a copy of the Camera Raw plugin from a secondary folder, hoping that might have caused conflict.
3. Reset my preferences in Photoshop and Bridge to default.
4. Purged the cache in Bridge (via TOOLS, not in preferences) and refreshed AND told Bridge to build new thumbnails/caches
5. Closed/reopened Bridge.
6. Repaired permissions
7. Restarted my computer
We are going to try to find a disc with original RAW photos that have never been placed on the server to see if it's a server issue. However I'm thinking that's not the problem.
Any ideas as to why we can no longer open these CRW files?
I have two problems I need to solve:
1. For future photoshoots: does turning OFF sRAW setting help prevent this problem?
2. Is there anyway to convert the .CR2 files without using Photoshop CS3/2 or DNG Converter? We're hoping to try to salvage the photos we have.
I did see Elev Man's comment about the problem being corrupt files...disk failure/problem fixed with Disk Warrior. I'll also check that out.
Thanks!

Can't open .inx files in CS3 that were created in CS2

I am presented with a message..
'Indesign.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
This happens when I open a .inx file from it's location by double clicking on it and also if I open CS2 and use the file>open route...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Bear in mind that when you open a CS2 .inx with CS3 (assuming that it works), there is no information about the CS2 composition in the file, so CS3 composes everything. Thus, you might well see reflow that you won't see if you just open a CS2 file with CS3.
On the other hand, if you do open a CS2 .indd with CS3 with the intention of doing further work on it, be prepared for that reflow to suddenly happen the moment you start trying to edit any text.
This is actually a good argument for going the .inx route in the first place -- all surprises of layout and composition hit you in the face immediately rather than happening hapharzardly as you work with the document.
You could use the Document Reflow command (Ctrl + Alt + /) after opening the .indd to get the composition changes over with in one swell foop.

Trouble opening .inx files in CS3 - links randomly replaced with foo.jpg

I have to move a lot of CS4 InDesign files to CS3, and I often run into a bizarre problem. After opening an .inx file in InDesign CS3, sometimes perfectly normal PDF, JPG, EPS and AI files will mysteriously be replaced with a linked file called "foo.jpg" that InDesign thinks is missing (it always reports the path as "c:foo.jpg"). I then have to go figure out what the original file was actually called and where it was saved and relink it manually.
There is no rhyme or reason to when linked files don't come over - our logo is saved in one location and linked in every single piece we make, yet sometimes it links fine when imported into CS3 and sometimes it doesn't. Going back to CS4 and exporting a new .inx file never works - a file that will not link correctly in CS3 will never show up correctly.
It always thinks "foo" is a .jpg file, even if the original link was actually a .pdf, .eps or whatever.
Any ideas? I'm perplexed.

Smells like a bug to me. Did you try reporting it?
What happens if you search the incp file for "foo"? Does it find
anything?
When the vendor opens the file, what is the link name on his end?

Opening CS4 file in CS3

I haven't been able to open a Premiere Pro CS4 file (.prproj) in Premiere Pro CS3. I get the message "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements." And CS4 will not save as a CS3 file (.prproj). Why, you ask, would I want to bring an edited CS4 file into CS3??? Because the FLVs produced by CS4 are "soft" (blurred) compared to FLV files produced in CS3 and I don't want to have to re-edit the production. Does anyone know if it's possible to get an edited file from CS4 into CS3? Thanks!

Backward compatibility is seldom possible, if ever. Closest that I have come is Encore CS3 Projects do Open in EncoreDVD 2.0, with few issues, but that is the ONLY instance that I have seen.
Now, one could Export from CS4 and then Import the resulting file in CS3 for the FLV Export. Maybe the Lagarith Lossless CODEC would help here?
Another way might be to take the CS4 Project into AE and then take that into CS3. Have not tried this, so there could be a few pit-falls and workarounds.
Sorry, but compatibility is usually one way - up and never down.
Good luck,
Hunt

OPENING CS4 FILES IN CS3

Is there any way to open up CS4 files in CS3? If not, would I be able to just cut and paste from CS4 to CS3? Thanks.

From CS4, export the file in INX format. Then you can open it in CS3 (assuming you have the most recent update of CS3). Of course, you lose anything you've created using CS4 features, so examine it carefully.

Text reflow after opening IDCS2 file in CS3?

Has anyone experienced text reflow when opening a legacy InDesign CS2 file in CS3? This is a serious problem if it happens in book documents. I want to make a case (or not) for keeping the old version on our computers for opening legacy files.

It's not unheard of. Even if the text looks perfectly normal at first sight, the tiniest editing will cause a recompose.
On the two upgrades I had so far, I made a point of never to open and edit documents into the newer version if the client already had seen a previous one.

Error opening KMZ files Photoshop CS3 Extended for Windows

I just installed PS CS3 Extended and tried to open a Google KMZ file and received the following error: "Could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse the file" I also tried creating a new document and insert a new layer from 3D file and received this error:
"could not complete the new layer from 3d file command because of program error"
My system is an HP Mobile Workstation w/Intel Centrino Dou proc., Nvidia Quadro FX 1600M running in Windows XP Professional
Any suggestions!

I have Google Earth pro ver. 4.3 along with Sketch up Pro ver. 6.4
Youre correct, I can open KMZ files exported from Sketch up which works fine. But it will not open a KMZ file created from Google Earth.
Hey Richard, when you get a chance, please upload a simple cube or object from Sketch up to GE . Then right click the model under the Temporary Places folder in the sidebar. Chose save place as then KMZ. Now see if you can open it from PS. Please let me know. Thanks, Pat

Open SVG files in a Swing App

Hi, I want to show SVG images in my Java application
Can I use a jpanel or another jframe to show the image but inside the application? how can I do this? Is there any package or class that I can use to solve this problem?
(I've heard of something called batik, but how can I use this?)
if not,
How can I open the .svg file (For Example, I press a Button and then the file is opened with IExplorer)
thanx =)

I haven't used it embedded - only to batch process svg - but apache batik would do that.

Delete files in Open Recent Files list - CS3

Is it possible to delete single files in the "Open Recent Files" list
or specify how many recently opened files are be shown?
I am using CS3 (5.0.3).
Thanks

No and no, although Adobe themself doesn't seem to have any problems with this -- every single update kills the list (to my chagrin).
Can't imagine any bona fide reason you'd want to. It's not like it's meant as sort of kind of Document organizing feature, as if.

Open SVG File, manage it and save it

Hi!

import java.io.IOException;
import org.apache.batik.svggen.SVGGraphics2D;
import org.apache.batik.dom.GenericDOMImplementation;
import org.w3c.dom.DOMImplementation;
public class Manager {
public static void main(String [] args) throws IOException {
//SVGDatei is a function to put the svgFile.svg in org.w3c.dom.Document docSVG
SVGDatei svgDatei = new SVGDatei();
DOMImplementation domImpl = GenericDOMImplementation.getDOMImplementation();
SVGGraphics2D svgGenerator = new SVGGraphics2D(svgDatei.docSVG);
