Pdf options box missing when saving as pdf

When saving as a pdf in Illustrator CS3, the PDF OPTIONS box is missing, and the program locks up. If I hit ENTER (as if the options box was there), the file saves properly, and the program is unlocked. It appears that the OPTIONS box is hidden, but operational. Suggestions?

I'll assume you're working on a Windows system.
It's there, just off-screen.
Have you ever had a second monitor installed or worked at a different screen resolution?
Unfortunately, the PDF options dialog cannot be repositioned using normal methods (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2465666#2465666). Position information is buried deep in the Windows registry, so resetting prefs (and, possibly, even reinstalling Illustrator) won't help.
Can you temporarily switch to a higher resolution or attach a second monitor? Once you have the dialog visible, you can pull it into your primary monitor area. It should then stay there after you restore your setup.
Creating a new Windows user account and logging in as a new user might also solve the problem.

Text missing when saving GIF

Hi,
When saving a GIF the white text is disappearing from the dark background. All other layers are visible still. I have saved GIF's without text and have had no problems. Any ideas to resolve this are greatly appreciated.
I'm using the latest build of PS CC only, no plugins, on a Windows 7 based machine.
Thanks.

Hi,
Here are a couple of images. The first shows the file in PS CC with the first changed frame added, while thye second shows the same in the 'save for web' screen.
I have only had this problem while using text in GIF's. Animated images save with no problems.
Thanks.

Knockout Group option not applied when saving to pdf

Hi!
Been working on a logo that features a realistic looking brushstroke - meaning vectorising the project features hundreds of differently shaded layers. The logo features a flower shape layer that needs to be cut out of the logo.
Question shortly: Is there a way to cut out the outline of the shape on a group that features 'say hundred' layers in different colours (about 30)
I've tried (without a desired result):
- Pathfinder - Minus Front (with click) not working with this group
- Pathfinder - Minus Front (alt/option + click) making it a compound path - not working because it turns the whole group into one colour
- Knockout Group option under opacity settings, which initially worked - but saving the file to pdf, the knockout group option is not working. It's either disabled or the flower shapes as knockout group are white.
Im using Adobe Illustrator CC
Thanks!

The "mask" object is not in the "Opacity Mask" thumbnail area in your first image. Make sure you layer the flower above the object(s), select all and choose "Make Opacity Mask" from the Transparency Panel flyout menu. This will make the top-most object a mask. You'll need to then turn OFF "clip" so the portion outside the mask is visible.
Should look something like this:
You can have more than one item on the Opacity mask and of different values. Color is ignored.
Please note: When first creating an Opacity mask AI will only recognize the top object (or compound shape). Thereafter, you can edit and create objects on the mask at will, just like working in normal mode. By default only the mask's "effect" is visible. To view ONLY the mask OPTION+Click the Mask thumbnail.

Dialog box size when saving a postscript file CS5 is huge.

When i save a postscript file, the dialog box that allows me no navigate to the place I wish to save my file is huge. About 10 inches wide and 3 inches high.
I have tried to resize this box, expecting that the last used dimensions would be remembered the next time I entered this box but I get the same huge overly wide and not deep enough box.
I hate resizing this box so I can see my sidebar. This never happened in CS3. CS3 honored the box as I sized it every time I saved.
What is wrong with CS5?
Where do I change this behavior.

Replacing preferences did not help. System updates did not resolve this behavior.
The other behavior I hate is when I open a document the application window enlarges to the maximum area on my monitor. The application window occupies the left edge to the dock on the right, just below the menu bar at top to the very bottom edge of the monitor.
Most other applications remember what the last window size of a document was when I saved and closed it.
What I end up doing EVERY TIME I OPEN A FILE is shortening the window on the right and bottom so I do not have my tool windows covering my document. I like Static tools, not auto hide.
As long as I am griping I'd like to know how to turn off the auto resize of the document view when I enlarge or reduce my window. I want the document to remain a constant size UNTIL I DECIDE to resize it.

How do I get the transparency option to open when saving a project?

I am working with a .tif and I remembered that I have to flatten the photo, so I went to Image menu and selected flatten. Then I went to File menu and selected save as. It seems though that I have missed a step in the process. I don't know if there was something I was supposed to do prior to the File menu. When in the Save as menu, I save the image as a TIFF and not a psd. Another dialogue pops up and this is where the transparency option is but it is greyed out so that I can't select it. What am I missing?

Thanks for your help! I just figured it out. Your reponses led me to what I was missing...which was the removing of layers after I was finished editing the image...once I did that, when I went to save the image as a .tif, the save transparency option opened...Thanks again!

Some loops missing when saved as archive

I added a blue or audio loop to 2 songs in order for the save as archive to be available. It enabled the save as archive button. I saved them as archives but all the loops are not there. 2 other songs are fine. What can I do?

It doesn't make much sense to add a loop just for the "Save as Archive ..." option to be available. If it's not available, you don't need it!
So what do you mean by "all the loops are not there"? Where?

Error:G/L account missing when saving Sales order

Hi Guys,
I will appreciate your input on this.
Whenever I try to save a Standard order for a particular material I get the error"G/L account missing. I have checked all the Account assigment settings and they are correct.
I faced this issue while creating an order for downpayments.This error occurs when we use the material of the kind "make to order".
Regards

Hi Pvarinder,
First please check the customer account assignment group at your sales order header level and material account assignment group at your item level.
If they are ok then go to Environment->Analysis->Account determination
As you said the entries are ok in VKOA, so my guess is I think you have some condition type which is not getting the right G/L account.
Please check and revert with your findings.
Regards,
MT

Windows Update Cleanup option is missing when running Disk Cleanup

I am running a domain controller on Window Server 2008 R2 and I am running low on C drive space. I have installed KB2852386 and I have Cleanmgr.exe and Cleanmgr.exe.mui in the system32 and system32\EN-us folders respectively. But when I log in as administrator
and run Disk Cleanup on the C drive, I do not get an option for Windows Update Cleanup. My winsxs folder is 16Gb and I would dearly like to recover some of that space.

Didn't think it would have been a WSUS server but just thought I'd check as that always complicates things...
I do need to clarify though, which version of Windows Server are you running? Your original post says 2008 R2, but your reply suggests it's just 2008 (mainly because 2008 R2 only has SP1).
If that's the case, you'll need to use the Compcln.exe tool. This removes archived files that are used in case you ever wanted to roll back an update, or even an entire service pack. Once the archived files are removed you can no longer remove SP2.
To use the tool, simply run compcln at a command prompt.
I honestly can't say how much space it will save. There are pages of discussions out there regarding WinSxS and why it takes up so much space. If you're still struggling after this you may have to look to hardware options...
I'll leave you with one last link to check out - just a blog explaining a bit more about WinSxS if you are interested.
What is the WINSXS directory in Windows 2008 and Windows Vista and why is it so large?
Best of luck

Scanning option is missing when I open HP Photosmart C4100

I have used the scanning function many times, however it is now missing as an option to use - therefore I can't scan anything at the moment.

Hey there @MillyO!
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I can see you are no longer able to scan with your Photosmart C4100. I recommend trying a photo copy on the printer to ensure the hardware is still functioning. If the printer can copy then is should be able to scan. You are likely looking at a software related issue. I suggest uninstalling and re-installing the HP software. What version of operating system is your computer running? If you could post back with that information I should be able to provide some more help

Shared menu missing when saving from Photoshop CS6

I'm using Yosemite on an iMac and I am currently connected to two servers. I can open and save files from just about every application except Photoshop CS6. For example, I click File > Open and the shared menu isn't there with the servers listed underneath. Also, if I try to Save As, that dialog box is missing the shared menu with the servers listed as well. I've been working around it by opening files from Finder, or by opening recent folders from those servers, but if the server I need to save to isn't recent, it becomes a problem. I'm a graphic designer and I work with Photoshop a lot, so I really need this to work. Is there a preference I'm not seeing that will put the shared menu back on the Open and Save As dialog boxes?

I take that back. I just downloaded the update 10.10.1 and the shared menu is back. Thank you! That makes my life so much easier!

Audio missing when saving a project from PE13 to a mpeg file the audio is missing.

Hi All,
As always thanks in advance for the help.
I have been saving a small video project of short clips into a movie and every time I complete the save to my computer as an MPG video when I go into playback the audio is gone.
IF I re-open PE and play the sections where the music should be it is still there. I am stumped and tried multiple times to save with no success

OINH
I have tried to force loss of audio for a Premiere Elements 13 Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG NTSC DVD Standard export and cannot. So let us try this
approach...
With Premiere Elements 13 Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG NTSC DVD Standard, click on the Advanced Button.
Do your Video Tab, Audio Tab, and Multiplexer Tab look like the following?
Video Tab
Audio Tab
Multiplexer Tab
See if your settings are the same as mine. I have no problem with the MPEG2.mpg from the NTSC DVD Standard.
If we agree on the settings, then look at the situation when you change the Multiplexer Audio Format Settings from Dolby Digital
to MPEG and lastly try PCM.
Looking forward to your results.

Save option grayed out when saving as???

I am just beginning the tutorial for FCP 5.1.2 but don't seem to be able to save the new tutorial project as the button for "save" is gray, not blue and therefore inaccessible. Also note that the format button in the same window with project as the default is also gray and inaccessible. Any thoughts as to how to get past this road block?
thanks,
Ol Pappy Joe

Thanks for responding. I think I have it all copied to my hard drive, at least the tutorial folder (Final Cut Studio Training) and something called Video-TS - they are both on an external LaCie and I am running the tutorial DVD off an external DVD player while performing the tutorial on my G5 where the FCP app is located. After I navigate to the Tutorial folder on the LaCie and find the Edit, then Project folders and try to save, the buttons for saving are gray???
Any more thoughts?
Thanks again.

Keep quality when saving pdf

I am using Photoshop CS6: I also tried this on CS5 going through the same process as below with a little bit higher quality but not the original quality.
I open a PDF, Pops up "Import PDF" I hit ok. I edit the PDF by using the marquee tool to select an area in the PDF that I want to delete. I delete it once the area is selected. Then I save the PDF using "save as...". Set the format to PDF, then hit "save". Pops up "Save Adobe PDF" hit "Save PDF".
When I print off the original version of the PDF compared to the edited one the quality is a bit off. It fills up more space on the paper also. The first one is darker and overall crisper. Is there something I missed when saving the PDF to keep the same quality as it was before I edited it?
I'm thinking I may be able to change quality in the pop messages I got but I don't want to mess anything else up.

You mentioned: I open a PDF, Pops up "Import PDF" I hit ok . . .
And when you were in the Import PDF dialog box what were the settings for Resolution, Color Mode. Bit Depth, Crop to?
PDF is a container format that can have images that have different resolutions, color modes, live text, etc.
When you Import a PDF that may have some of the above issues, Photoshop throws up a dialog box where you can change the settings because you are rasterizing the content. (if your PDF was saved from a bitmap/pixel editor you would likely NOT see the Import PDF dialog)
The Import PDF dialog is there to warn you that you need to tell Photoshop HOW to process the PDF when opening.
If you just hit OK, you are at the mercy of whatever settings were in the dialog box.
To make this even more important, you need to realize that the settings are simply whatever was used for the previous conversion.
So if your previous conversion was set at a low resolution like 72 ppi, then Photoshop will use this setting even if your PDF has a high resolution image of 300 ppi or more. Opening a 300 ppi image at only 72 ppi will make it low resolution and will look like crap.
Also, this automatically raterizing the live text which would have printed sharp because it WAS vectors. but are NOW pixels at whatever resolution you used. Rasterized text at even at a high resolution will never look as good as the original live text.
What was the original application that created the PDF?
It is always best to go back to the original file in the original application and make changes there and produce a new PDF.
What were you doing to the PDF in Photoshop, deleting some text, cropping the image, etc?
If you had Acrobat Pro you would be able to make some changes without damaging the PDF.
Rasterizing a PDF in Photoshop is never a good idea.
