Saving file format - suddenly having problems

Hi all,
I have been using PSE9 on my Intel iMac (OS 10.5.8) for a couple of weeks, and yesterday I started experiencing the following problems:
(In Full Edit Mode)
1) When trying the "Save As" command after working on an image, I was getting a message saying that my user account was not authorized to make changes, yet there is only one account on this computer.
2) Shift-Command-S brings up the Save As window, but no matter what format I choose, it stays .jpg! I tried on a couple of different pictures, same results.
Initially, I was able to save in PSD format when I moved the new file to a different location, i.e. instead of saving the new file in the original folder, I copied to desktop, but that's not working now.
I opened PSE Preferences for Saving Files, and checked off append files with extensions "always" and "OK", but when I go back to the same Preference Panel, it has reverted to Never, which is the default position. I am wondering if this is the source of my problems.
I have tried:
placing the Preference files for PSD and Organizer in the trash and re-launching PSE9.
Trashing Preference files, then restarting the computer and re-launching PSE9.
Uninstalled PSE 6.
Uninstalled PSE 9 and performed a reinstall off the CD. I was able to Save As a PSD file for a day, now back to the same situation, also still getting an error message if I try to save a JPG file in the folder of origin for that image.
What should I do next?

Yes. It is a known bug. Your options are to trash the prefs again and never, never, never open the Saving Files preferences pane again (just going there causes this), or to add the file extension in manually when saving. (The default position is Always, but merely opening the saving files preference sets it to Never.)

  • Acrobat pdf file format is having difficulties. Object label badly formatted.

    I'm using Adobe Illustrator CS5 on a PC (Windows XP)
    When I try to open one particular file, I get the following message:
    "Acrobat pdf file format is having difficulties. Object label badly formatted."
    I've seen some discussions about this error msg previously, but only when using CS4, and everyone was referring to some type of "suitcase fusion", which I am not using.
    Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated

    I created the file in Illustrator CS5 and saved it as an .ai file.
    It does not open in Acrobat or Reader... not sure what other programs you think I should try?
    It's basically a bunch of lines and some text... the text is a Font that we use here at the MTO (FHWA)
    This is the first time I've ever had this problem.
    The weird thing is if I try to open the file in Illustrator by clicking "File", then "Open..." and then highlight the file in the "Open Dialog Window", I can see a preview of the file.  But then when I finally click "open" in the dialog window, I get that error message?

  • Acrobat PDF FIle Format is having difficulties...

    I've got an error that appears pretty reliably. I open a multi-page PDF file in Illustrator, choosing one page to edit. I save that page with a new name as a PDF file, and that works fine. Now, if I edit the file at all and save it again, I get "Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. Bad parameter." And there's no way to save the file.
    If I close without saving and open the single-page PDF file again, it usually behaves well. But any time I get that message I lose all of the unsaved changes and have to repeat them.
    I'm using CS3, version 13.0.2. OS 10.4.10. Any assistance is appreciated...

    I've had the same problem in various versions of Illustrator on the Mac, up to and including CS3. Based on the previous comment, this appears to happen only if your Illustrator document starts life as a generic PDF file. So this is my solution (which worked today for me).
    Make sure all layers are visible and unlocked.
    Copy all your artwork to the clipboard (Select -> All then Edit -> Copy, or cmd-A then cmd-C)
    Create a new document with the same dimensions as your original one.
    Show the layers palette, and choose "Paste Remembers Layers" from the popup menu.
    Paste your artwork into the new document (Edit -> Paste or cmd-V)
    Save the new document.
    You should be able to edit and re-save the new document whenever needed after that, although you may find that the file is larger than the original one.

  • I'm suddenly having problems uploading my site with Dreamweaver FTP?

    I've been using CS6 for a couple of years and suddenly I'm having trouble uploading my site using Dreamweaver FTP?

    Maybe your host did something on the remote server side.  Have you contacted them?
    Do you have enough available server space?
    Can you upload files with a 3rd party FTP client like Filezilla?

  • Acrobat PDF File format is having difficulties. Expected a dict object

    Hey guys, a matter of urgency
    I am using illustrator for the first time and finished my assignment for university.
    I saved the illustrator file onto my USB and went to school to find that it would not open..
    The error with the message shown on the title popped up. My friend told me it has something to do with me not placing the images in the right place, whatever that means.
    Please help ASAP this project is extremely important!!

    Did you save directly to the USB stick? Or save to harddisk, then copy it over?

  • Acrobat PDF  File Format is having Difficulties. Missing 'xref'.

    Everytime i go to save an illustrator file to our server i get this issue. I go to another server and it saves fine or to my desk top. I can then copy it to the appropriate server fine.
    IT guy has changed out the cables to the router from my machine and the router to the server. Changed ports and everything. He doesn't know what else to do. This has just started occurring in the past week.
    We can save EPS files fine, the only issue we have are with the AI. files.
    Please can anyone help me with this issue.
    thanks

    After 2 years, this is the first we have started having them. Makes sense, but its hard to do that when more than one person may work on the file during the day. but i guess we will have too. I did not think it was Illustrators fault, but was hoping for some kind of solution to fix it... It says there is nothing they can change on their end, its a plug and play harddrive. Atleast now I know wher ethe issue lies.
    Thanks

  • Please help!! Acrobat PDF file Format is having difficulties??

    So... I had been working on some thing the entire day, and then my PC crashed.. I did save my project while
    I was working, so I was not that worried first. But then when I finely installed my virus scanner and restarted
    my computer I tried to open the project I was working on and now is says this:
    I tried to put it in an other new project and it does want to show what it looks like but it just refuses to open
    normal or to let me edit it.
    Why Illustrator, why are you doing this to me??
    Please does anyone have an idea what I can do to get my lost artwork??

    Any chance you have a backup from Dropbox or local backup software? If so, you could retrieve a version before the crash.
    Is the file .ai or .pdf? Have you tried opening in Acrobat? If .ai, I would try duplicating file and changing extension to .pdf and see if Acrobat opens it.
    Just a few thoughts. Maybe someone has a better idea.

  • Illustrator Error - Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. Expected a Dict Object

    Hi all,
    I am getting a strange error on Illustrator CS4 on my Mac.
    Randomly when I open an existing Illustrator file it corrupts with the above error :-(
    Once the file becomes corrupt we cannot open it and have to revert to a backup.
    I have narrowed it down to files with multiple artboards.
    Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Gerard, thief,
    It may (or may not) be possible to rescue contents if you use the http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/500/cpsid_50032.html on both the corrupt document and a healthy older version, and instead of step 3 as described compare the coding, especially at the start. You may be able to replace/copy dissimilar code from the healthy document to heal the corrupted one, or to replace/copy similar code from the corrupted one to a copy of the healthy one.

  • Why is my ATV suddenly having problems connecting with my computer?

    My ATV is no longer snappy...every time I go to another song, it sits there with the little wheel turning "looking" for the music.
    I can no longer just quickly forward to a new song; every time I have to wait for it, which is very frustrating.
    Any ideas why this could be happening? Is it somehting with my Wifi settings or security?

  • PDF File format having difficulties?

    When I save in Illustrator CS3, I get the following message:
    Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties.  File format does not begin with '%PDF-'.
    and it won't save.  If I try a "save as," it saves, but then the file won't open later, because it says it isn't an illustrator file.  Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciate.  I don't want to lose any more work.
    Sean

    I am afraid so.
    You may try this:
    0. Copy the corrupted file under a new name as backup;
    1. Open Notepad (or something like it) and open the corrupted file with it;
    2. Open Notepad (or something like it) again and open a valid file with it;
    3. Copy the first part from the valid file down tothe line before %%Title, or down to the first full line in the corrupted file, but no further than to ;
    4. Paste that part into the hopefully no longer corrupted file, avoiding repetition;
    5. Try opening it.

  • ASO Migration 9.3 to 11.1.2.2 using Migration Wizard, Old File Format

    I migrated 100 or so applications from 9.3 to 11.1.2.2 using the Migration Wizard in EAS. When I open any of the outline files, I get the message:
    Old file format discovered, we suggest you to migrate this outline.
    I used the web console to perform the migrations. Is there any way to migrate the outlines to the new file format without having to open them all up and go through this? Does the Migration Wizard simply copy the old format to the new server?

    Yes you will need to export the data from each essbase database and then load into the databases on your 11.1.2 environment.
    The steps outlined in your post are just to move the planning applications relational piece.

  • Satellite A660 - cannot see saved files

    The problem is with a game that I have.
    I can see a file that I downloaded from the net to play, but those files from the game that I have saved do not show up when I look for them they don't show up. But when I view compatibility files they show, but that does me no good since I cannot send them on to other who will need to use them. The game in question is Civilization 3 Conquests, but I have a PC with it on and did not have this problem.
    So where can I find the setting to make them visible?

    >... cannot see saved files
    Is this general problem with your notebook or you have noticed this with game files only?
    I mean it is not easy to say anything about this specific issue.
    Im not gamer so I cannot comment some game files problem.
    Try to find some gaming forum where people discuss about Civilization 3 Conquests and ask if someone else has noticed the same problem.
