PNG file is not opening in CS3 Illustrator

I painted my drawing and am saving it as a PNG went to >Export and changed transparency and made sure it was 300dpi and go to open the file and it doesnt open. No window or warning that as to why its not working. I bought some PNG clipart online that is PNG and opened it and works just fine.

thats how i was opening the other PNG files I bought online. I would drag and drop it in illustrator and worked just fine. I dont understand why its not working with mine.

.png files will not open Fireworks from Dreamweaver.

Hi there,
I wonder if anyone can help - I am a new to this forum, so
please be gentle!
I am running the new Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Standard on a
new 17" MacBook Pro with 2Gb memory.
I have hit an odd snag when I am in Dreamweaver working on my
and other web-sites.
Fireworks will not open when I click on .png files which were
created in Fireworks ..
I get the following message:
"Unable to launch
Macintosh HD:Applications:Macromedia Fireworks
MX 2004:Fireworks MX 2004.
Please be sure that this application exists and that
there is enough memory to run it".
I can open .gif files created in Fireworks - with no problems
at all.
There is plenty of memory - even with Fireworks open I get
the same warning ..!!
I have never had this problem before when using Studio MX
2004 on my previous 15" MacBook. I have transferrred all my sites
to the new MacBook Pro - the paths are exactly the same within each
site - nothing has changed. My work flow is the same. All the sites
function normally but for this annoying problem - has anyone else
experienced it? The Adobe help center seemed rather baffled - or
the techie I spoke to did ..!!
Have I missed something here?
Or am I in the wrong forum .. I hope not!
Thanks in advance,

i did that on mine but it still won't work for me. but i get
around it by just right clicking and choosing "open with" and the
selecting Fireworks. it's kind of a pain in the butt, so i'm
interested to see if anyone else has any ideas.
Hi n h c,
Thanks for your prompt reply!
I did as you suggested and went into preferences and checked
file types/editors. Low and behold .png files were selected to open
with Fireworks MX 2004 by default - Fireworks MX 2004 is NOT on my
MacBook ... no wonder the .png files would not open! Meanwhile .gif
files were selected to open with Adobe Fireworks CS3 (Primary)
I played around with the + and - buttons, selected the
correct application and everything now seems to be OK.
How interesting the techie at Adobe didn't think to tell me
of this simple fix ...mmnn! On the other hand, how stupid of me not
to check preferences! Thanks again n h c - you are a gem!

Freehand can't convert EPS files into editable vectors. I
usually run
EPS files through Illustrator and then into Frehand. If you
don't have
Illustrator you can convert the EPS into a PDF and that
Freehand will
sometimes convert into editable vectors (though it does
involve a lot
more clean up than going through Illustrator.)

CS3 file will not open in CS3 after editing in CS6?!?

Pardon the exclamations but we're creative folks not techies. After editing a CS3 file in CS6 we are unable to open it in CS3. Looks like CS6 will only save back to CS4? So once edited in CS6 then I can no longer use CS3 to work with the files? Can anybody confirm this for me? We also tried to export to IDML but CS3 would not read it.

When you open an older version of InDesign file within a newer version and edit them, the older version of file is first converted using some required plugins of the newer version of InDesign and then a consolidated new file is generated including the required plugins. Now, if you try to open this newer version of file back in an older version, the older version of InDesign looks for the required plugins used to edit the file and fails because InDesign older version did not use those plugins to create your file.
Please let me know if that explanation helped understanding why this behavior occurs.

Files are not opening Illustrator CS4

Any EPS file one of our users Double clicks on in Explorer is trying to open in IndesignCS4 not IllustratorCS4, even if they use Open with : It's still not seeing IllustratorCS4.
They have recently removed IllustratorCS3 from their Vista machine, as it was only opening files in CS3 not the CS4 version.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Should I just re-install CS4 ( seems a bit of a hammer killing nut scenario )?
Thanks

I think your problem is that AI CS4 doesnt open the wanted filetype, and that it isnt listed in the
Open With applications list, am i correct?
If so, you can try this to add Illustrator CS4 to the Open With list:
-Rightclick the file you are trying to open
-Expand the Open With... option
-Click: Choose Default Program...
Then a window pops up, showing you several applications which windows thinks are suited for opening the file [EPS]
-Illustrator Should be in the Recommended Programs list, shown in the top of the window.
If it isnt, press the button to expand the Other Programs list, and see if you can find Illustrator.
If it still isnt there, you can add it manually:
-Press Browse... and browse to: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4\Support Files\Contents\Windows, select the Illustrator.exe file, and click Open.
Now Illustrator should be listed in the Other Programs list, and you can select it to open the file.
Make sure you check the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file", so in the future Illustrator will always open the EPS files for you.
This should fix your problem.
If not, please let me know.

.ai Files will not open when Illustrator CS5.5 is already launched

Greetings,
I have a user using Windows 7 Pro 64-bit having issues with Adobe Illustrator CS5.5. When the user attempts to open .ai
files stored on her local machine, the files will not open if Illustrator is launched. It will show an hour glass briefly as it is
about to open, and then nothing happens. If she closes Illustrator and tries to reopen the same file, it will launch Adobe
Illustrator and the file will open. She can also open files through illustrator. It just wont open .ai files when illustrator is
already launched. This is happening when she is running illustrator as an adminitrator, and as well as when she is not an adminitrator. Any ideas?

Any specific security tools running? Team/ workflow management software? Virtual desktops? License managers? Sometimes this stuff simply blocks local ports or wants files to be opened from within once certain things are running... Otehr than that this could be something with group policies or mundane user privileges issues with different contexts, i.e. your AI also has permissions for a specific server-side user/ policy, which the local user otehrwise doesn't have and then it's not allowed to open files into that secured loop...

Double clicking Illustrator (.ai) file does not open a file with opened app.

Hello,
I have an Illustrator CS5 (15.0.2) running on Windows 7 Pro. Here are the symptoms: when double clicking the Illustrator file once the application is already open, the file will not open. You will see an hourglass for a few seconds, but no file contents are displayed. However, if I were to close Illustrator application and then double click on the file, Illustrator will open the file correctly. Additionally, if I go to File -- Open and manually select the file, it also opens the file correctly. Only double clicking the file once the Illustrator application is already open does not work.
Has anyone seen this issue and knows how-to fix it?

Right click on a .ai file and choose properties, check to see what application is set to open .ai files. Try running in 32 bit mode.

CS6 InDesign not opening existing CS3 files

I installed CS6 Cloud, now my existing CS3 indesign files will not open.

Open how and on what system? Mac? Windows? Do you use File / Open or do you double click on a document icon? Always use File / Open from the menu of the application first. Are you on Windows and does the document has the correct .indd extension?
In short: we need more info from you.

Even though I have checked "Automatically open all supported TIFF's" in Camera RAw Preferences - My tiff files do not open up in camera RAW

Even though I have checked "Automatically open all supported TIFF's" in Camera RAw Preferences - My tiff files do not open up in camera RAW - PS 6

Sorry I'm taking to along, but I checked a few things using ACR 8.6
Saved a png as an 8 bit tiff, then to 16 bit. Changed the background layer into a floating layer, all opened in ACR.
It was when I added an adjustment layer, that it no longer opened in ACR.
Now what can I recommend? If you have Lightroom, you can Import and work on your layered tiffs that way. I hope this is a viable alternative for you, because I think ACR does have a problem with layered tiffs and I don't really know of any workaround, but you are free to explore.

Certain IDCS3 INX files will not open in CS2

I am trying to export a group of files from CS3 all the way to CS. Of the 52 files, 11 of my interchange files willl not open in CS2. Of the 41 files that were successfully converted to CS2, 13 of thhe next round of interchange files will not open in CS.
Does anyone have any suggestions for things that I can do to make these files work? For example, when I have had trouble in the past with converting native CS2 files, I have been able to get them to work by remove the master pages and ungrouping all of the objects. With these CS3 pages, the only thing that has worked has been copy pasting all objects into a new document, but I am praying for a better solution.
It would be helpful if anyone could suggest things for me to look out for. So far, I haven't been able to identify any commonalities between my "broken" files.
Thanks!!!

You need to access the version from within InDesign itself, not from the finder. From Indesign CS, hold down the command key while pulling down InDesign>About InDesign. The correct version will be InDesign 3.01 (838). There were I think three versions of InDesign 301. The one with the (838) is the last one which will import the CS2 inx files correctly.
So while your updater may have completed the update successfully, you may not have the latest updater. You need the 3.0.1 April 2005 updater for Mac. (see #13)

Edit: And remember to turn off color management as Bob points out in #3.

CS5: double-click on file does not open the file

If Photoshop is closed, double-click on a file will always successfully launch Photoshop and open the picture.
If Photoshop is running, double-clicking on a file will activate Photoshop, but very often the file does not open. It works from time to time though, and that seems to be on a random basis.
Opening a file through the Open command will always work.
I am working with 10.6.3 on a loaded Mac Pro.
Did anybody experience this difficulty? Any help would be appreciated, before I take more drastic measures like reinstalling the software of worse than that. I've already done the usual maintenance operations.

Caustic waltz, while brief, may have hit the nail on the head. If you do not want to continue this thread, you can search the forum for existing posts about Snow Leopard and file-program association confusion. Snow Leopard changed some things and that might be your issue.
More simply, do your image files have extensions? (.PSD, .JPG, etc...)
Hello Marian:
While browsing through my Adobe account, I saw that you took the time to leave a comment two days ago. While it did not solve my problem, I will mark your comment as "helpful" for several reasons. It could have been a cause. And I will add politeness, courtesy and language precision. I'm an old guy and I quite value those elements.
True, Snow Leopard changed changed the way files are associated to applications. Thank God! Here in our small office, we do a lot of cross-platform transfers and finally it works seamlessly. A good description of the new file identification system can be found here.
Now, here are the reasons why Snow Leopard cannot be put at fault in my case:
• If Photoshop CS5 is not launched, double-clicking on any psd, tiff or jpeg file will launch it and open properly.
• If Photoshop CS5 is already running, double-clicking on any psd, tiff, or jpeg file will activate Photoshop CS5 but will not open.
This points at either a bug or damaged Photoshop CS5, or maybe a damaged OS. Don't forget that out of maybe a hundred apps, this is the first time I meet with that problem. Of course, the easier course, but by no means guaranteed to work, is to presume that Photoshop CS5 is damaged or that its installation did not work properly. So I did the following things:
• I deactivated Photoshop CS5 and uninstalled it.
• I ditched all remaining files related to CS5, CS4, CS3, CS2, CS... yes I know, but then you know as well as I do0 that getting really rid of Photoshop is a daunting task. It took me almost two hours, but I am reasonably sure that the cleaning job was complete.
• I reinstalled Photoshop CS5.
Now everything works just fine at least for the time being. Time will tell, of course, but I think that the problem is solved.
Regards

PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window

PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window, OS 10.8.5. Version 11.0.04 Adobe Reader and Plug-ins installed. Both local and internet files do not load. What is happening here?

Ok. I reloaded v 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader after quiting Safari 6.0.5 . Then deleted the 2 plug-ins AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin . Relaunched Safari and tried to read a pdf from a repository at the URL mentioned in post 10 . The file was loaded and displayed correctly. Also a pdf file from my local disk store displayed nicely as well. What I do not understand is that there is no listing of an Adobe plug in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins , nor does Safari list any Adobe plug ins. So in that case this means that plug-ins for the display of pdfs in Safari windows are no longer needed!
Adobe Reader version 11.0.04 is now working for me.
Thanks for the help and the solution C.F.McBlob

I have just purchased a Canon 7d Mk2 but the raw files will not open in Cs5 and downloads of Adobe Camera Raw 8.7 will not install. What can I do?

Alternatively, install & use RawTherapee instead to develop your raw files instead (free and open source).
