Problem in opening wmf file in Illustrator

When the wmf image was opened in Illustrator CS5, the image labels (text) got reversed. Please let me know what might be the reason and how to resolve this.
Thanks.

Sashikata,
Short of trying to Move the folder or similar to clear the preferences (moving the folder is reversible), you may never find out.
Can you select each label and Object>Transform>Reflect horizontally (or select all and Object>Transform>Transform Each, then reflect)?

Can't open .wmf files with Illustrator

I'm using Creative Suite CS2 on a PC/Windows XP operating system.
I'm suddenly unable to launch Illustrator when I try to open a .wmf file from within Windows Explorer. Instead, I get an error message that the file itself is not a valid program (DUH!).
I also cannot open them with the "Edit Original" command in InDesign.
I have tried changing the "Opens With Program..." option in the file properties from within Windows Explorer over and over.
Oddly, I can always open .wmf files with Illustrator from within Adobe Bridge, simply by double-clicking the file. And of course, I can open them from within Illustrator by simply going to "open file".
But I really want to be able to use the "Edit Original" feature in InDesign to launch and open .wmf files in Illustrator.
Anybody know what's going on? Is this a Windows problem, an Illustrator problem or an InDesign problem? And how do I fix it?
Thanks so much for any suggestions.

I'm sorry you're having this problem with Illustrator. Would you mind reposting over on the Illustrator forums? You've posted in the AIR forum and I think you'll have better luck over there.
Thanks,
Chris

Can't open EPS files in Illustrator CS3 since installing CS6

I'm on Windows 7, and need to be able to open .eps files with Illustrator CS3. Since installing CS6 yesterday I'm no longer able to associate EPS files with Illustrator CS3. When I right click an eps and go to "open with", only Illustrator CS6 is listed. When I "choose default program", only Illustrator CS6 is listed. If I "browse" and manually select the Illustrator CS3 executable, it still defaults to CS6. Using the same process with .ai files works fine, there is no issue. However these .eps files are not behaving like .ai files. If anyone could suggest a solution to my problem I would be very grateful.
EDIT:
Also, attempting to set the default program through the "set associations" control panel doesn't work, after selecting the Illustator CS3 executable it still shows up as CS6.

Some research solved my issue. Need to create a registry entry for Illustrator CS3 (v13) in the eps file extension section of the windows 7 registry.
1. Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.eps\OpenWit hProgids
2. Create a new "binary value" key called "Adobe.Illustrator.13" (leave the value blank).
That's it. CS3 is now a valid choice for eps files. Hope this helps anyone who has the same issue.

Opening eps files in illustrator cs3, created with GMT

I have been using previous versions of illustrator (10.0, 11.0, 12.0) to edit my eps files created with GMT (Generic Mapping Tools) with no problem.
I have just recently installed CS3. When I open these GMT generated eps files the colors are changed and lines are shifted when compared with the original eps image (which i can open and view in GSview, a postscript viewer, with no problem).
My current work-a-round is to open these eps files with illustrator 11.0 (which I have installed on another computer), save the file as an AI file (version 11.0), and then open this file with illustrator CS3. The file then displays correctly.
My question is this, what has changed with the CS3 version of illustrator that does not allow me to open eps files created with GMT (Generic Mapping Tools). Older versions of Illustrator open these files with no problems.
My OS is windows XP - 64-bit. My older computer running illustrator 11.0 is winXP - 32 bit. I bought the newer Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard because I was having trouble installing the older version of illustrator onto my 64-bit machine.
Thanks!
Laura

Hi Laura,
I have the same problem with CS5... and no previous versions to convert my files!
Did you find another way?
Thanks!

I can't open .WMF files in Photoshop 10, why?

Why can't I open .WMF files in Photoshop 10?

Welcome to the forum.
Am I correct that you are referring to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10? Or, do you mean Adobe Photoshop CS3?
While there are similarities between Ps and PsElements, there are some differences too. Knowing exactly which program you are using can be important.
Also, and regardless of the program used, Trevor offers great advice above.
Good luck, and let us know a bit more, please.

How to open .dwg file in Illustrator 6?

I am unable to open .dwg files in Illustrator 5 & 6 on my new Macbook Pro (OS 10.7.4). I get an error message "the plugin cannot be initialized for the lack of the initialization file "ADINI.DAT"." This computer had AI transferred using Apple's Setup Assistant.
I can open the same .dwg file on an different MacBook Pro in both AI 5 & 6 (the AI installation here was by disk).
It looks like I may need to remove & reinstall AI on the newer computer. But before I do that I'm wondering if there's an easier way. What do I need to do to be able to open .dwg files using AI6?

Reinstallation is the simplest solution.
You may want to be a tad clearer in the future regarding version numbers. It'll simply help get answers faster. Illustrator version 5 and version 6 are drastically different than CS5 (version 15) and CS6 (version 16).

HT1338 I have a problem with opening downloaded files from the internet; zip types. Can you tell me an app to open these types of formats of files?

It should unzip if you double-cick.
What are you seeing happen when you do that?
Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

Problems opening EPS-files in Illustrator CS5.1

Hi Lotta,
Will it be possible for you to share with me any one of the EPS file with which AI is crashing ?
Thanks & Regards,

Can't open photoshop files in Illustrator

I have been running Adobe CS3 on my computer for 4 years now, and recently installed windows 7. Since then I get an error on my computer when I try to open photoshop that says:
"there is no disk in drive. Please insert a disk into drive\device\Harddisk1\DRI"
From there all I can do is press try again or cancel. Try again doesn't do anything, so I press cancel and then the program opens like normal.
The other problem I am having is I try to open a photoshop file in Illustrator or try to place a photoshop file in illustrator the program crashes and says:
"The application ran out of memory. Please close some windows to free memory."
I don't have any other windows or programs running, and I have a quad processor and 8g of memory. Shouldn't be crashing.
Does anyone have a solution for me please?
Thanks

"there is no disk in drive. Please insert a disk into drive\device\Harddisk1\DRI"
It's looking for a file somewhere on a drive that no longer exists. Trash the prefs, flush the MRU (Recent Files) lists.
and I have a quad processor and 8g of memory. Shouldn't be crashing.
AI is a 32bit app and never uses more than 2.something GB of memory, no matter how beefy your system may be. Anyway, such issues are usually quite specific, so it will be hard for anyone to advise. Some basic specs on what PSDs you are trying to import might help...

Can't open a file in Illustrator CS

Hi There,
I've trawled through quite a few discussion boards before posting, but I'm stumped.
I'm using Illustrator CS, the original version which has been great for over 4-5 years. Now I find that I cannot open a file in CS when using <open> from the menu bar.
Usually we get the finder window to select the documents, but the programe quits even before it gets to this stage.
I added an account and tried to open files in Illustrator but this problem happened again.
I can double click an Ai file from the finder window...this launches Illustrator and opens the file ok. I also tried to create a new document which would not save at all.
I have the crash report from Illustrator, just wondering if someone could have a look and see if they can work it out.
Thanks So Much
Kitty

Problems working with linked files in illustrator

Hi everyone, i hope you can help me with this doubt that had given me problems since I started using illustrator. I'm using linked files in illustrator because i'm able to modify the files later, as I do in InDesign too, but in both cases I had have a lot of problems with the links, I don't know if i'm doing something bad, but this is what I do: I create a folder where I place my file (illustrator or InDesign) and the files that should be linked. Whit this i'm expecting of it to work like an html where the links works while they are in the folder, no matter if you move the folder, the links keeps working on the HTML.
But I have noticed that it doesn't work in the same way, because, I had have cases when the links work perfectly, but then i format my computer (Mac) and after that, I open my files againg but the links don't work already. I have exactly the same problem with my coworker, because im trying to edit a file with linked files since the place where it is in the other computer, obviously it opens perfectly there, but in my computer it asked to repair the links, so I select to repair automatically but I ask me to does it manually... So this is getting me tired, because I must repair the links here in my computer to work on it, and when for it get finished, my coworker should repair the links again, and this is going to be always we share files or i format my computer. It is important to mention that my coworker and me use mac with leopard and the same version of adobe (CS4).
So, as I said before, i dont knoe if my method is incorrect, should I do something different? any option to activate? or program that I should use? because I have herd a lot of Adobe Bridge, I don't know if this could have a option that could help me.
I hope finally somebody can help me with this doubt, because im sure that I'm not the only one having thie problem.
Thanks for your help

Hi. I am also experiencing this very annoying problem. Currently using version CS2, but this problem dates back to version 9. I check the box to link a tif file, not embed it, in Illustrator. All is well until I save and reopen the file. Suddenly the file is embedded. No other changes have been made to the folders or anything else. It just embeds itself and cannot be linked again.
So far, I conclude that something in the file itself has corrupted, because it is not possible to place a new file and have it link correctly again. So if I anticipate more changes, I create a new file.
Notice the upper left corner of the top toolbar. If you click on a file that has embedded itself, the file will be identified as "Group" instead of "linked file."
I've tried all kinds of things, like trying to ungroup it, trying to release a clipping mask, and so forth, to see what went wrong. Have not figured it out.
