"This file cannot be found" saving cs6 workspaces??

I have been using ill for 25 yrs and never ever had ill fail to save/save as/save a copy before! What gives.
Is anyone else having this strange problem.
meitnik

I just got off phone with Adobe tech support. They explain I should not be saving to my fireware 800 external hard-drive but to my mac desktop and then manually moving those files to the fireware drive and move them back to my main drive when I want to work on them. REALLY!!!!!!!! I have been using Adobe products for a very long time. Never ever once in documentation do they explain what I was told by support. What! they can't write code to do what nearly all my programs are able to do: write and read from an external hard-drive! Whats the point of having an external harddrive Adobe!!

"This file cannot be found" error message when saving document

Hello,
Strangely, every time I click "save" in CS6 it opens up a 'Save As' window, (which shouldn't happen), then I click save witht the existing file name (it then tells me the doc already exists), I click OK, (and then OK to the next popup window) then get the message that "This file cannot be found". I'm forced to click "ok" and the doument isn't saved. I've tried saving it differently in previous versions and it still doesn't work. I recorded a video of this behavior. You can see it here - http://screencast.com/t/W1GYK0zsrk
Why would it be trying to find a file? It seems like an error message when trying to Open a doc, not Save a doc.
Please HELP!! I can't shutdown my station until I get the document to save.

Yes, Mohit1233 - it happened with every file yesterday. Finally, I closed the doc (forcing me to lose my work), then restarted my computer and today the problem is gone. I'm working on a PC (HP);
Barblove - I tried doing that yesterday (copying and pasting into a new doc), and still nothing. I also tried copying the work into a CS3 doc (but got an error message).

Illustrator cs6 "this file cannot be found" problem when open file from network

I used to install the trial version of Illustrator CC on my desktop and then when the trial run out I decide to go with illustrator CS6 instead, So I decide to buy &
install Illustrator CS6 on our desktop and everything seem to be fine except
the problem is our .ai file is located on the network shared drive of the design team,
When we try to open the file from the network drive with illustrator CS6, it said "This file cannot be found"
- we try to copy the file from network drive to our desktop and file can open without problem
- if we directly double click the file from the network drive to launch the illustrator CS6 with that file. It's also fine, no problem at all.
- but if we open the illustrator CS6 first and try open.. and then browse to that file on network, then "This file cannot be found" happen again.
- Illustrator CS6 have no problem open file in the local harddisk.
- Illustrator CC never have this problem open file in our network drive, try reinstall the Illustrator CC trial again and it can open without problem
- I try using Adobe CC Cleaner tool to remove everything before reinstall the Illustrator CS6, still no luck.
- Try remove the Adobe relate folder in user/user/Appdata and then reinstall, still no luck
- Try right click and open with --> Illustrator CS6 , yes if we double click the file directly it's ok, but as mentioned if we open illustrator first then browse for the file, the problem happen.
Did I miss anything to fix it ?

how can I fix it without changing the names of my entire work folders?
there must be a different between my two computers.
thanks for your help

Insert PDF Into 2013 Word Doc. Message There was an error opening this Doc This file cannot be found

To All,
I recently purchased a brand new Dell Laptop Inspiron 5521 Windows 7 Home Premium with purchase of Microsoft Office 2013 and already preinstalled Adobe Reader X. When trying to insert object being a saved pdf documentinto Word Doc., I keep receiving the following message: [There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found.] Why?

I don't know but I wouldn't expect it to work anyway. What do you expect to happen?

Another "there was an error opening this document. this file cannot be found"-question

Hello people, as the title suggests, i have another question regarding the "there was an error opening this document. this file cannot be found" error. I have searched on Google and on these forums but i havent found an answer to my particular case (sorry if i overlooked it).
I work at a supportdesk for a company that uses Windows XP with Adobe Reader version 8.1.3.
Users are getting this error when they access a PDF file placed on a (mapped) networkdrive. Contrary to some other cases i have found on this forum, spaces are handled without a problem. But a comma in the name of one of the folders that contain the PDF file are what causes this error.
i.e.:
Opening the following path results in the error:
L:\X, Y & Z\adobe.pdf
Removing the comma so the path becomes:
L:\X Y & Z\adobe.pdf
works just fine.
So far our workaround has always been to simply remove the comma and move on, but I've been wondering why this comma is such a problem for Adobe Reader. As far as i know Adobe Reader is the only program we use that has this issue, M$ Word works just fine with it to name an example.
To sum my questions up:
- Why is comma (,) a problem for Adobe Reader?
- Have i missed any patches/new versions where this issue has been addressed?
- What is Adobe's stance on this, and are there any plans to "fix" this?

Ok, nevermind, we just found the problem
It's not Adobe Reader that is causing this, but another program the company uses to manage/distribute/authorise programs that users are allowed to access (Scense). I had never even considered another problem could have caused this for Reader.

There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found

An automation script on one of our QA environments kept tripping on the error: "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found". The same script ran fine against our Production servers (hint, which were "whitelisted").
It took a little time to resolve/trace what was happening (but with the aid of ProcessMonitor and tracing all "pdf"-related file activity...)
The problem lies squarely between McAfee (75%), Adobe (20%) and Microsoft (5%):
NORMAL WORKFLOW. IE (Internet Explorer) when popping a PDF document, has to (1) write the document to the IE cache, then (2) launching and "handing off" the document reference to the Adobe viewer (which might then be able to open the document, et al) -- assuming largely a "synchronous" workflow.
BUT "WAIT", HOLD THE HORSES -- McAfee takes ownership and decides infact "wait for us" (during the workflow), it wants to first perform a virus scan on the document (ahead of writing the document to cache) involving potentially large latency (delay) before making the document available to the system. However, instead of "fessing up"-that their scan may be taking too long, McAfee appears to have taken their work "off-line" in violation of the sychronous interface above. I'm guessing the developers at McAfee might have been trying to hide any extra processing overhead being incurred by assuming they could somehow convert this to an "asychronous" event. (This may also have more reach than just PDF's.)
Unfortunately, the browser's "PDF OPEN"-dialog box pops allowing Adobe to launch-and-open the "as-yet-not-virus-scanned-and-thus-not-yet-cached"-document. Thus clicking the OPEN-button will cause the related "...FILE NOT FOUND"-error to be seen (because the file is still in McAfee "limbo").
Note: If you close the ADOBE reader (but don't yet close the popup-OPEN-dialog) you can click OPEN a second time and it will probably now open the document - which McAfee finally finished scanning!
You can observe all these interactions with ProcessMonitor, and use the monitored file states to adjust the timings of events to reproduce both the failure and non-failure scenarios.
- Best Regards, Ziggy
ps. My assessed distribution of "ownership" of the problem is because ALL these parties should be aggressively resolving this for the customer-base!

What, exactly, were you trying to do when you got it, and how?

I get the same message when I try to open a pdf attachment in my free AOL e-mail account. This problem just started today for some unknown reason. I have Adobe Reader 9 and never had a problem before. If I forward e-mails with a pdf attachment to my Road Runner account, I can open it with no problem. I can't seem to find any answers to this problem. Frustrating! HELP!!!

AIR, Acrobat/Reader XI 11.0.06 - There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found

Hi,
After Adobe Reader and Acrobat updated to v11.0.06 I've started getting the following error message when I try to load PDF file into my AIR application on Windows (Vista and 7) machines: "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found."
I'm loading PDF just like it's been described in Flex/AIR documentation. HTMLLoader loads html that looks like: <html><body><object id="PDFObj" data="app:/pdfs/test.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="100%"></object></body></html>
The file is in place and I've tried opening it from the Reader itself without any errors. When I uninstall Reader XI and install Reader X instead everything comes back to normal and the file is opened without an error.
What was changed in the Acrobat/Reader 11.0.06 that it prevents PDFs from being opened from AIR application? Or was it changed even before 11.0.06?
Kind regards,
Roman

Fyi, in addition to my earlier post, the other pc is using Adobe 8.1.1 and no other patch. I was trying to find 8.1.1 version but could not find a trust worthy site to load from. Do you think the error caused by using the 8.1.2 version? Thanks

There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found but the file is displayed

Hi All
I am opening a document for printing using
c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader>acrord32.exe "c:\www\website\admin\invoices_out\BFPO_0001.pdf" "hp deskjet 990c"
The invoice opens up but an box appears with the above message
There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found
Any help to stop the above error appearing would be much appreciated as once this is fixed I will be using
start /b c:\www\acrobat_wrapper\acrowrap.exe /t "c:\www\website\admin\invoices_out\BFPO_0001.pdf" "hp deskjet 990c"
and I can then get on with my work.
Thanks in advance and here's hoping.

Hi Fiat Lux
Thanks anyway but I have solved it.It wasn't any fault of Acrobar Reader as such. Everytime I run a microsoft remote desktop and access my main PC from my laptop it deletes the default printer status of my printer (on the main PC) and then when I want to run the above command Reader can't find a printer to use until I reinstate it as the default printer.
Thanks anyway.

"This file cannot be found" error.

Folks:
I have a user who all of a sudden yesterday started getting an error message every time he tried to open any PDF: "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found."
The file CAN be opened using Windows 8's PDF viewer. It CAN be opened if he opens it from within Acrobat (i.e., File | Open). But when he double-sclick the icon in File Explorer, he gets that error message.
I tried Repairing the installation, but no success.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Micah

I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE SAYING, THIS FILE CANNOT BE FOUND

WHEN I TRY TO OPEN A FILE.
I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE SAYING, THIS FILE CANNOT BE FOUND.
WHAT CAN I DO?

We really don't know what problem you are having; you don't provide any details that we can understand.
First you write "WHEN I TRY TO OPEN A FILE..." - what kind of file? From where - from your local disk, or a website?
Then you write "How do I open and read my message?" - what kind of message?
Also tell us your operating system, browser, email client, Reader version, ... anything that is related to your problem.

Adobe Reader XI- There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found.

The file opens in Adobe Reader 9.0 without problems. If copy file to my hard drive the file opens correctly in Adobe Reader XI. This is happening to all my users using Adobe Reader XI.

Shakti K(Adobe)
Thank you for your response.
I figured out the problem but have not resolved it yet. We are a County agency with a shared environment. Somehow some of the folders in the shared folder area turned into shortcuts instead of folders. I figured out whenever there was a shortcut icon for the folder instead of a folder none of the PDF files would open with the new Adobe Reader XI. If I added the same PDF file to a folder that did not use the shortcut the file would open correctly. In the past, we did not occur this problem with any other Adobe Reader product so this is something new when using the Adobe Reader XI.
Another team is working on fixing the folders so this problem does not occur.
Is there anything that Adobe can do to fix this problem?
Thanks,
1) Are they facing the issue with any spciecifc PDF file? or any specific shared path? specific shared paths
2) Is the shared path is of any special file system (like DFS etc)
3) Is citrix involved somewhere? We do use Citrix but not for Adobe
4) Are users on similar platform (like WinXP) or it is varied? Varied platforms
5) Are users any special kind of users (roaming users, users with redirected appdata etc)
Thank you.

Get the message as mentioned in the subject. It is as thought the document is not copied to temp. Tried both opening in browser and in adobe, on some PC's able to open in browser, however majority, not able to. Below is a link on this website to a page with multiple PDF's.

I've tried just about everything I can think of, any idea's appreciated. Tried changing most preference settings in both adobe and in IE.
What changed in Adobe that I am now unable to open pdf's from our website?

I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet "

iTunes told me to delete my backup folder when I was having problems syncing my phone to my computer. After that it wouldn't work at all. After trying and trying I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet ". What the **** itunes? Nothing is working!!
I wanted to update my iTunes so I could sync my phone to my computer and update my phones software so I can use the latest apps that need a 4.2 or higher.
This is not fun for me so if anyone knows what I can do to fix this please help. Is it possible to download the "cabinent file" with the lastest iTunes?
Thank you.

My phone is the iPhone4 and my computer is a Windows Vista

I doubt that corrupt files are the problem. It is more likely a space or permissions issue. Is the hard-drive on which iTunes is stored close to capacity? Do you (or the particular user profile you have logged on with) have the requisite permissions to save to that drive?
Otherwise, do you get an error code? This might point us in the right direction.

Error: The iT Mus Lib cannot be saved. The required file cannot be found.

I'm getting this error repeatedly:
"The iTunes Music Library cannot be saved. The required file cannot be found"
I've reinstalled several times and even reformatted my computer. Still no luck. It was fine on an older version but this one just won't cooperate. I have to re add all files to the library each time I launch iTunes. arrrgh!
Please help =/

hi bpfriend!
i'm just doublechecking something here:
"The iTunes Music Library cannot be saved. The required file cannot be found"
is it saying file or folder?
incredibly rare (i've only seen it reported twice or thrice), but i have seen a message saying:
"The iTunes application could not be opened. The required folder cannot be found."
... with some earlier versions of itunes 6.0.x.
love, b
