PDF files that turn into 08 files

Hi Guys,
I am a l2 remote desktop support analyst and had a user who was saving pdf files using adobe reader 6.
When the user saved the files and went back into them he noticed that they were saving as a 08 file and could no longer open them in Adobe 6.
My question is, is there any way to open these files again and also what causes this issue?
Thanks
Robert

What happens when you change the extension to .pdf ?

  • File folders turn into exec files

    On a school iMac, I created folders which contained html, jpg, pdf files and other folders. I copied these folders to my thumb drive (the one I use all the time). When I got home, I put this thumb drive into my iMac (Yosemite OS) to finish the folder transfers. When I found the folders I was looking for, they had turned into exec files. What happened?

    We need some clarification here. Specifically, you say:
    When I found the folders I was looking for, they had turned into exec files.
    What turned into "exec" files? The folders, or the files inside them? And when you say they are "exec" files, what exactly are you seeing?
    One possibility is that the files you created have all changed to look like this:
    If that's the case, then most likely you have somehow created those files without an extension, which means that Mac OS X has no idea what they are. You need to add an extension at the end of the filenames: .html, .jpg, .pdf, etc.
    One other possibility, which Tim mentions, is that you have connected this flash drive to a Windows PC that is infected with some kind of malware that has replaced all those files with malicious .exe files. These would not affect your Mac, but would certainly affect the data on the flash drive. Do the filenames end in .exe or .lnk?
    If none of that matches what you're seeing, we'll need more details. Screenshots would help. Make a screenshot by following the directions here:

  • Hi, My atachments /any file format/ turns into .dat when I mail them into my own iPad2. What to do??

    Hi
    When I email an attachment /any file format/ from my PC to my iPad2 the attached file turns into a .dat file
    What to do?
    Regards

    An Alias would be an email address that is delivered to a different account's inbox.
    For instance if you have  [email protected] and have [email protected] Then [email protected] would be an alias if mails from that address arrive at the icloud address.
    If you want to add a completely different account, with a spearate inbox, like an account in hotmail and one in say yahoo mail. Then as has been pointed out, you need to go into the  Settings Icon, Tap on Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and then on add account. The iPad has several services preconfigured, you can tap on one of those from the list to setup an email for that service. Such as Hotmail, Gmail etc...
    Or you can tap on other to add a personal pop3 or imap type email like from your office, or your school.

  • I want to create a "batch file" that will copy files from one folder into another, overwriting what is currently in there.

    I've got a game that has a folder with Saved Games (Okay, it's Minecraft). I don't always have my external drives because I take my Mac Mini from my house to my friend's house and of course back after we finish playing.
    There are times where I want a back up so that if something happens we can restore it as easily as possible.
    What I've been doing is copying the particular saved game and pasting it to my desktop, replacing the new backup over the old backup. I'd like to be able to create a "batch file" so that I can just double-click on it and it will copy and paste overwriting the old version.
    Since this is being automated I've been thinking. It would be nice to have 10 backups which I would like to have numbered from 1 to 10 (and not 0 to 9).
    I'd like the batch file to delete backup 10 then rename backup 9 to 10 and 8 to 9 and so forth until backup 1 becomes backup 2 and then my live copy then gets copied to my desktop. I guess that one really doesn't need a number after it. It can have the exact same name.
    Don't worry about automating the restore. I just want the backup part of it automated. I'm not a UNIX guy but I've tried to figure it out and it is just not working. So ... if someone out there can reply with a solution for me that would be great.
    Extra credit for automatically compressing the backups with the built in compression utility so my backups use less space.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have another psd (adjustment_layer.psd) file that only has one layer, and it is an adjustment layer. . 
    That is possible. An adjustment layer must be over a layer. The layer that it is over can have its visibility off but there needs to at least two layers in your (adjustment_layer.psd) file.  For you can not have and adjustment layer without a layer to adjust.
    Are all your PSD file the same in size  x px by y px at z DPI?
    It would be easy to create an action just to add the adjustment layer you want if your (adjustment_layer.psd) file adjustment layer, layer mask is a reveal all or hide all mask. You can Batch the action or use the Image processor script and have it include your action that add the adjustment layer  you do not need to write a script.
    I would also record that action to add the adjustment layer clipped to the layer below. There is a bug in CS4 and CS5 Action Player. Actions that have recorded adding adjustment layers to be applied to all layers below may play incorrectly.  You will have to pay to get a fix  for this bug for Adobe is not going to apply a fix the the current releases of Photoshop. The bug is so far slated to be fixed in CS6 time will tell.

  • Is it possible to repair a damaged file which turned into a black background layer?

    I was working on a file about 4 hours and i was saving every 10 mins, then suddenly the power cut off and i opened the file and found it a black background layer.
    Is there any solution?

    If you were saving the file every ten minutes, then a power-outage would not make you lose anything more that what happened since the last save. It is possible that the file was damaged on the hard drive by the power-outage and it has nothing to do with Photoshop at all.
    I do want to point out that Photoshop does not have an auto-save function. There is an Auto-recovery function which will create a sort of back-up of your file every 10 minutes (default setting). This is not simply a copy of your file, nor is it saving over you original file. Instead, this is a special version of the file that is intended to open in Photoshop after a crash. However, the power-outage may have damaged this file (as described above).
    Check the file size, if it is very small, that would tell us there is no image information in it to recover. We could always take a look. But if it opens in Photoshop without error, it sounds like the file is fine but doesn't have any changes from when it was nothing but the black background.

  • Need help with document that turned into alias for Application

    I'm trying to help my dad with a problem, not sure exactly what he did, but he had a page document in a documents folder on his desktop.  He moved it into a *files folder* on his desktop.  Somehow the document seems to have been turned into an alias for for his application folder. When I click on the file name, the document doesn't open, it opens up the Application folder.
    I'm VERY new to Mac. 
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  • Mac: can I drag and drop files from Finder into Files panel

    I am relatively new to Mac so forgive me if this is obvious.
    I just switched from Windows to Mac and now something I used to
    know how to do in Windows I can't figure out how to do on Mac. In
    Windows I used to open an Explorer window over Dreamweaver, select
    some files, and drap and drop them into the Files panel in
    Dreamweaver, and they would be sucked in.
    Now on the Mac whenever I select the Finder window to select
    files to drag and drop, the Dreamweaver panels disappear
    completely, rather than just move beneath the Finder window. So
    when I'm ready to drag and drop there's no Dreamweaver to drop
    into. I see that if I put focus on Dreamweaver, then Finder won't
    disappear, and I can click on Finder to begin a drag without
    Dreamweaver disappearing but then it is unresponsive to a drop.
    In short, I can't seem to drag and drop files from Finder
    into Dreamweaver on the Mac. Am I missing something? I'm using
    Dreamweaver CS3 on Leopard if that makes any difference.
    Thanks,
    Jan

    I don't believe you can do this on the Mac platform. The only
    other thing you could try is to use Spaces and have the Finder open
    in one Space and then drag it over to Dreamweaver in another space.
    Outside of that I can't think of how this would work.

  • Creating interactive swf files that contain flash files that don't play once loaded on server

    I am creating an interactive swf file that contains a  flash movie f4v file and when I preview the page in ID it plays, but once I export the InDesign file to swf, insert that on a html page using Dreamweaver (so I can send a link and not a file out) the movie doesn't play, just the first frame of the clip.  I have uploaded the f4v file to our server and linked in the original ID file and it still doesn't play.  Any suggestions or similar issues?

    I have left the page up for quite a while to see if it is just taking longer to load that clip and that doesn't seem to be it.  I am just stumped and honestly not knowledgable on how websites and servers work - just know how to get my documents up so I can send links.

  • Animation that turns into buttons

    I have never really used Flash before but my boss got me one
    of those dummy books so that I could create a animation for our
    companies main page. What he is looking to do is have a line
    drawing (like a "blue print") turn into the letters SDP then
    SORN'S. Then when Sorns would be present you would be able to click
    on the s o r n and s to take you to different parts of the website
    with a little text popping up as you rooled over the letters to
    descibe where you would go.
    First of all before I start attemting this is this possible?
    Second off could I teach myself how to do it in a couple of
    days?
    and third any suggestions on an easy way to do this?
    Thanks for the help

  • Hey, so I logged onto my computer after a mandatory restart and my music and playlists were deleted from itunes, but I still have all of the music files that go into itunes if I open them individually. Any way I can get them back into itunes altogether??

    really just want my songs back in itunes, trying to find a way to do it all at once instead of clicking on individual song files since i have so many.

    copy them and then paste them into music/itunes/itunes media/music/ automatically add to itunes. that should automatically add them back in.

  • Files downloaded turn into QuickTime files and not iTune Files!

    Hi folks,
    I am downloading some songs from mp3search.ru (very very cheap mp3 site) and they are downloaded as iTune files (which is what I require), however, when they download fully they become Quicktime files!
    I now have to change them individually to be opened with iTunes but they remain QT files!!
    How do I stop QuickTime from being the default and dictating itself as the main MP3 player?!
    Thanks
    Tc

    well, today I browsed iTunes, happened to find something I liked and thought I'd give it a go..
    After checking this bit:
    Import in An Instant
    To import songs into iTunes, just insert a CD into your computer and click Import CD. Or set up iTunes to automatically add music when you insert a CD. Either way, iTunes imports music in a snap. iTunes saves music from your CDs as high-quality AAC files — a format that builds upon state-of-the-art audio technology from Dolby Labs. But you can choose different audio formats, too. iTunes lets you convert music to MP3s at high bit-rate at no extra charge. Using AAC or MP3, you can store more than 100 songs in the same amount of space as a single CD. iTunes also supports the Apple Lossless format, which gives you CD-quality audio in about half the storage space.
    then registering an account I felt sort of confident, not in the lack of looking, the information is just hot air anyway rwitten by halfwits, but this was what it seemed..

    None of this happened

    I'm really p*ed off about this matter, measly 10 $ maybe, but the disappointment in being aggravated this way adding to increasing dismay, that you don't get anything face value from practically any commercial company anymore, seriously gets my fumes going, cos I could have gone to the record store, taken care of everybody and probably walked out with two great discs for the same price and half the time I spent sorting my anger
    I'll say it again, software designers stay the f* out of my way and start doing your jobs and provide the service you advertise using the KISS principle... stop jacking around

  • How to convert .mp4 files that come into iTunes as Movies into Music Videos

    I've tried selecting a file and then going into the "Get Info", then "Options" and then to "Media Kind", but for some reason it is greyed out and I am unable to change these .mp4's into music videos.  Any suggestions are SO appreciated!!!

    Ok, I checked and the file is NOT locked.  Any other suggestions?  It shows the file as an MPEG-4 movie .mp4, but I just can't get it to change from a movie to a music video so that I can see the artist.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

  • My files have turned into Unix files!

    I recently began transfering my sound libraries from a drive on my old G4 Dual 1.42Ghz to the drive on my "pre-owned" Dual 2.0Ghz G5.
    I had a folder on my G4 with Rex files in them.
    When I transfered them over to the G5, I noticed they had become Unix exec files? What are those? I think the files got swithced from Rex1 to Rex2 files, but I'm not 100% sure. How do I get my Rex files back for use in Logic and Reason etc....
    Thanks
    Noah

    I realize what it is. The Unix info is there until I install the application that created it. It shows the extention .rx2 but the file icon displays it an 'exec' file.
    I've been switching everything over to my G5 and had not installed Recycle yet. Those Rex files were all created with Recycle. Once I installed Recycle and opened that folder again, they all had the blue Rex/Recycle icon. They were fine.
    It would be great if Logic could read the exec/Unix/.Rx2 files, in case I didn't need or want to install Recycle? Which I didn't, cause I don't use it much anymore. I tried to drag the Unix/exec/.Rx2 file into Logic but it wasn't recognized. After all, Logic does play Rex files...
    Hey, I answered my own question!

  • PDF Protection that allows for file placement?

    When I set a password on a PDF (mainly to prevent someone from grabbing the photos out of it), it has the side effect of not allowing someone to place the pdf in an InDesign file. This is a big problem, as we're always sending ad files to publishers, and they need to be able to place the PDF...but at the same time we need to protect our copywrited material.
    And yes, I know giving them the password will let them place the pdf. But it will also let them extract the images, which is what we're trying to prevent.
    How do I do this?
    Thanks, andrea

    The problem is the type of security you're talking about isn't very strong at all. Any restrictions you apply can quickly be removed by readily available software. So if someone is moderately determined to steal your images, they can rather easily. The security is only an illusion and protecting your rights would be better handled by a simple legally binding agreement between you and your publisher.
