Problem involving saving over indesign file and pdf

Kind of a strange one this one....
I'm currently working on a magazine and have several InDesign files in one folder that i'm working on and a seperate folder where I have saved exported pdf versions of these files. The files are the same names in ach folder eg '1 - 40' '2 - 39' and so on
I accidentally saved over one of my InDesign files so I understand I will not be able to recover it as I wasnt using any backup utility.
However before I saved over the file I had created a pdf version of it and saved it in my pdf folder. So i'm thinking not all is lost as I can use the pdf file to send to the printers.
Now here's the strange bit - I am using PC and when I open explorer I can see the folder icon where all my pdf files are saved and can actually see the 'lost/saved over' pdf version as one of the mini thumbnails for that folder - but when I click on the folder to view the files inside it isnt there - instead it shows a thumbnail of the file i saved over it with...!?!
I'm thinking is there somekind of automatic updating PDF export setting that I may have selected or is it possible that folder icon is using a snapshot of what was inside at a certain point??
Either way I could really do with recovering this PDF - if anyone has any suggestions i'm more than happy to hear them.
Thanks
Mark

i thought this would help a little
This is the folder icon - in which all my pdf's are. The top left thumbnail is the 'missing/saved over' pdf. So you'd think it would be in there?
Below is a view of the contents of that folder - (for those of you with good eyesight) you can see that the top left thumbnail from the above picture is nowhere to be seen in this folder!!

Problem with saving an Ai file to PDF in Illustrator CS4 Professional

Hello guys, I have an interesting problem. The machine has Windows Vista Enterprise with the latest updates and office 2007 Pro+. The version of adobe installed is Adobe CS4 Professional, in which has the Illustrator and Acrobat updated to the latest patches. This has happened to the user over the weekend; all of the sudden when she tries to save an Ai file to PDF, it hangs not even bringing up the dialog box. However, in all the other Adobe programs are able to save it as a PDF. Now I am able to print from Illustrator into Acrobat, but it doesn't save it to a full sized "page". I tried saving any Ai file to a different file and then try to save as a PDF....no dice. This is the second time around where this has happened. Now here is the kicker, since I'm an admin it will work like a charm under my login; the user is a restricted user (no admin rights). I also changed the default printer for her, to a local printer.. (read somewhere about that) no dice. Any help would obviously be appreciated. THX

Yup, that could also be possible. Had a similar problem where the IE add-in for Adobe Reader did not work anymore. And I had to get a patch from MS for office. And it was only available by request only.

Problem printing Illustrator files, and PDFs containing Illustrator files

I have encountered weird problem with differenf Adobe file formats. Here are the files I had problems with
1. opening PSD / JPEG files which had placed or embedded Illustrator graphs/ charts.
2. printing PDFs from an InDesign file which had a placed or embedded Illustrator (eps) file
3. printing original Illustrator files, or PDFs saved from the original Illustrator files.
Initially I thought that the problem with with my external drive, where I had versions of the InDesign and PSD files stored. But then I tried removing Illustrations from PSD and Indesign files and they printed without any problems.
Some illustrations are created in the Illustrator itself, others were downloaded from a stock photography site.
Please help me figure out what is the problem.
Thanks,
Marina

Hi Jacob,
I will find out re Post Script driver.
The printing window shows that I am connected to the printer (it's a network office printer) and that the document is printing, but nothing really happens. Meanwhile none of my colleagues can print anything because my file freezes the printer (if this is possible).
It sometimes says "client-error-not possible"
And below is the error message that i see when i try to open some of the Illustrator files (this one contained graphs and charts). It does open the file, however, and i can even edit it. But, both, a PSD and a JPEG file that contain graaphs from the Illustrator file below fails to open on my colleagues computer.
I forgot to say that I work on a Mac.
I am wondering whether the files are damaged, or the Illustrator needs to be reinstalled.

Export an InDesign file to PDF and InDesign freezes and quits

I keep trying to export an InDesign file to PDF and InDesign keeps freezing up and quitting. This is the first time it's done this, I have never had a problem before.I recently added Suitcase Fusion to my computer and wondered if this was the cause, or if there is something else wrong.

Try disabling the suitcase plugin and see if it continues (you'd probably have other problems, too, though, if it's the culprit). Often it's a bit of bad text or an image. See Adobe Community: File Crashing on Output - printing/PDF/other for lots of troubleshooting tips.

Files wrongfully 'saving over' other files

Hi there,
I was hoping someone could help me with a problem I am having that only seems to be happening more often now.
Occasionally when I save a photoshop document as a pdf, if will save over another file.
For example, I made a photoshop document and saved it titled "anzacdaypoppies.psd" and then I made a .pdf version of this and saved it to my desktop.
A few days later I made another document and saved it titled "Travellogcover.psd". This I did not make into a .pdf.
But I have now noticed that the "travellogcover.psd" is not able to be found on my computer, but when I open the "anzacdaypoppies.pdf" it is now a .pdf of my "travellogcover". This is the first time I seem to have completely lost a .psd file and it has 'saved over' ?? a .pdf.
Usually, my issue is a .pdf saving over another .pdf. As an example I had one .pdf saved and titled "adventcards" and then I created a new photoshop document, saved it as a .psd, and then printed to .pdf and saved as "menuplan". When opening "adventcards" I get the "meuplan" but not vice versa, so "adventcards.pdf" has been completely 'saved over' and it's lucky I still have the .psd so I don't have to re-do all the work.
However yesterday after noticing the 'saving over' of the anzacdaypoppies.pdf with a photoshop document and now that photoshop document is now gone I am worried I won't always be able to rely on the photoshop document being safe.
I am really sorry - I know I'm not explaining it very well but I have no idea what is happening here. I've looked for answers online but I'm not finding anything.
Anyone understand what I'm talking about? Is there something simple I'm missing to stop this from happening?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I repeat that under 10.7.x, cmd + S upon a document which was already stored on disk isn't dedicated to save something in the file.
It save datas in the hidden folder dedicated to Versions, the feature allowing us to navigate in different states of our documents.

Problem in saving modified rtf file in jsp

hi,
I have [b]problem in saving modified rtf file in jsp. My scenario is like this:
I need to open rtf file in jsp and allow user to modify it, after user modifies rtf file in browser, user will press send button. After user pressing send button rtf has to be saved into destination directory(the directory from which its been fetched. I appreciate if any one could send me relevant code for the same.
thanks
ram

1) RTF is not opened in your browser, but in an application that is set to handle the file type (like Word or Wordpad)
2) from the web you have no control over what that application does
3) conclusion: what you want is not possible using the web
Other than that, asking for code without showing that you put some effort into the problem yourself is a sure way of getting flamed. You should know that by now, since you registered more than 2 years ago...

Exporting InDesign files to PDF containing Chinese characters

When I export a file from Adobe InDesign to PDF that contains Chinese characters, some of the Chineset text in the resultant PDF appears heavy and blotchy, like it has had a very heavy stroke applied to it, even though the text is perfectly OK in the source InDesign file and when printed out from the PDF.
As a lot of Chinese reader will view and read this document online, I need to find a solution, can anyone help me?

Below is a screenshot of one of the effected pages
As you can see, some of the Chinese characters appear all heavy and blotch, whilst others are OK.
There is no leading on any of the text and it is perfectly OK when viewed in the Adobe InDesign file.

I have trouble exporting indesign file as pdf.

I have trouble exporting indesign file as pdf. I need help please.

Hi,
Please start by telling us what happens when you try, and also how you are exporting the file.

First of all, use [code]-tags to make your code readable, please.
I didn't do a complete inspection of your code (because it's too much and unreadable as it is) and I don't know POI, but creating a new HSSFWorkbook for each input file sounds fishy to me ... try re-using the workbook and just creating a new sheet in each iteration.

There's only one thing you can do: make an appointment with Apple genius at the Apple retail store for a out of warranty replacement.

ASAP Is any Java libraries exist to modify Excel file and PDF file

Is any Java libraries exist to modify Excel file and PDF file. I know about the third party libraries like Apache poi and many more. But I want to know about java libraries not the third party tools.

Help!!! accidently saved my psd file and lost all my design

hello forumers
i accidently saved my psd file and lost all my design is there a way to get it back?!??!?!pls helppppp...
ps:i didnt delete it,i just clicked on save as wihtt he same name,but i dindt notice the design was missing,until i opened up the psd file again.
thank you.

This is a Mac Photoshop forum, so it was a reasonable assumption. If you closed the file you are hooped unless you can access a backup.
Too late for this job, but you might want to install Dropbox. You get 2 GB of space for free on Dropbox’s servers, and any files saved in your My Dropbox (I think that’s what it’s called on Windows) folder are copied to Dropbox’s servers. The big deal is that you can share any files or folders with other users or other computers, so you could have the same folder on your work and home PCs and files saved on one are automatically updated and available on the other. The other big deal is that Dropbox keep old versions of files. I keep all working jobs in Dropbox and remove them only when complete and ready for archive. It is a huge bacon saver.

Placing a PDF file in an InDesign Doc and PDF again for a vendor- Good or Bad?

Current debate in the graphics department is
Is it good or bad to place a PDF (general Press Quality) into an InDesign document and then creating a new PDF file with print vendor settings from that document?
My thought is that you in some cases are double compressing, lower dpi images getting compressed, RGB color mode images okay on layout but now are converted to CMYK and shift in the PDF.
Are there other issues and if so what are they.
Also is there an easy way to check ppi, color mode and compression of an acrobat PDF? I mean other than doing a preflight and searching into each image folder twenty levels deep. FlightCheck and Enfocus are not options,
too many vendors and not enough time.
Thank you all in advance for your words of wisdom.

Dov, I just got off the phone with a trusted professional in the Prepress field at a quite reputable print house, and he said "Dov is the guru of PDFs, ask him this...Will the InDesign CS3 preflight see the characteristics of a PDF (color mode, dpi(ppi), compression) if the original placed PDF is created as a pdf .X4 (1.7)? Ask him also if you were to use one form of compression (say lossless) in the original PDF, and then another form(say lossy) in the vendor PDF would it hold both or convert the first PDF compression to the second form?"
Any other responses are also welcomed.
