Two files open simultaneously make documents "un-editable".

Hi!
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate with a 64 bit operating system.  I'm using Adobe X Pro (Version 10.1.2).
I have a very consistent, easily duplicated issue.  I have no problem editing with X Pro, if ony ONE pdf is open.  However, the moment I open a SECOND pdf, both pdfs become almost impossible to edit.  The cursor lags, and the response to key strokes is so mind-numbingly slow, I have to close both docs, and re-open only one at a time.
I'd buy lunch for anyone who can help ( ! )... It's a serious annoyance.
Thanks!
Robb

What you have is a common malfunction when Importing (Opening) Word Documents in Pages. As far as I know it's random in the sense that we don't know what causes it and it doesn't happen every time.

  • Opening a word document for editing with webdav

    I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this question..
    I am attempting to open a word document, which resides in a webdav folder from web app. I need IE to start word and open the original document from the webdav folder and allow the user to make changes to the document and save it back to the webserver.
    Wep app this http://www.javatalks.ru/go.php?uri=http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc6.0.x/trunk/java/org/apache/catalina/servlets/WebdavServlet.java
    I've got it to open the document but it seemed to have copied the document to my temporary internet files folder and opened the copy from there. The original file name is "test.doc" but the opened temprary file is "test[1].doc" and so on. How can I get it to open the original document for editing?
    Any help would be appreciated..

  • Why, when I have two PDF file open, is one document faded out?

    Hi All
    I was wondering if someone out there could maybe help me?
    I’m having problems with opening documents in Adobe Acrobat Pro. When I have one PDF file open and I open another one, the one opened later has kind of a grey/black film making it difficult to read.
    I was wondering if maybe anybody out there has had similar problem? Or maybe you know what can cause this?
    Thank you in advance

    Which version of Acrobat and which version of Windows do you have?

    HI,
      Just try it simply as below.
    the possible reasons could be.
    1) file with that name is not existing in that path
    2) path name is wrong (u gave it as c:/ give it as c:\)
    3) file may be open..
    how ever just try with giving the file path and the output table and see how it works
    *-- Read the File From PC
      CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
        EXPORTING
          FILENAME = V_FILENAME
        TABLES
          DATA_TAB = I_FILE
        EXCEPTIONS
          OTHERS   = 17.

  • InDesign is crashing  while opening a new document

    Hi All,
    I want to open a new document from InDesigm CS2.When I open a new document from File->New->Document from menu ,InDesign is crashing and giving error report.
    It is not happening in the case when I open existing documnet from
    File->Open.
    Existing document is opening without any problem.
    How can I get rid of this surprising problem ?
    Can it be due to some missing PlugIn??

    Check for Third Party plugins. Make sure that you only have plugins that come with InDesign application. Remove custom/sample plugins and try again.
    If the above doesn't work, delete InDesign preferences (at C:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign).

  • Open two files / documents

    Hell there
    I just upgraded to CS 4. In CS 3 you could open more than one ID file and drag pages from one document to another, etc. etc. But by default, ID only opens one file at a time with a tile bar to switch between the two files.
    Is there a way to set ID so that it opens two files like before?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Eric W.

    In the Interface options, disable Open Documents as Tabs.
    That said, instead of dragging pages, open the pages panel menu and use
    the move pages command. It's far easier to use and much more precise.

  • When i open a new document, my "width" and "lenght" add two zeros automatically to file size??? For example basic A4 size in mm is 210 00mm x 297 00mm? And i can´t do nothing about it! Why on earth?

    This "error note" must have something to do about it?

    elppaelo,
    You may try the list.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • How can I add links to open xml and csv files stored in another location? Please advice how to place links in my frame maker document?

    Hi,
    I would like to know as to how can I add links to open xml and csv files stored in another location? Please advice how to place links in my frame maker document?
    Kindly advice.
    Thanks
    Priya

    Special > Hypertext > Command "open document" will do its best to open the target document inside FrameMaker, which may not be much help; Special > Hypertext > Command "message …" will use the application you specify. The user guide for 7.0 says this about absolute links, and I don't think anything has changed since:
    For example, to start PaintBrush and open the Ship.pcx file on drive C you would use the command message system pbrush.exe C:/Ship.pcx
    I've not often used a relative link, and not recently: the same source says
    folder levels are separated by a slash / even in Windows and Mac
    [relative links] FrameMaker searches for a relative pathname beginning in the folder that contains the current document
    [absolute links] FrameMaker searches for an absolute pathname beginning at the top of the file system. In Windows, the absolute pathname begins with the drive specifier, a colon and a slash.

  • I have two companies sending me indesign documents. One opens up and the dictionary is set to English. The other file opens at is in Hebrew, Not sure how to fix the Hebrew part and whether or not the fualt lies at my end or at the other end

    I have two companies sending me indesign documents. One opens up and the dictionary is set to English. The other file opens at is in Hebrew, Not sure how to fix the Hebrew part and whether or not the fault lies at my end or at the other end

    If only the language is Hebrew, you should correct it in the Paragraph and Character Styles.
    But in such a case I would expect more problems.
    If you are a creative cloud subscriber you should additionally install the InDesign version, English with Hebrew support:
    Go to the preferences of you CC.app. It is found behind the Gear Symbols on the top right.
    When the preferences open, go to the Apps section.
    Change the App Language to English with Hebrew support.
    Now you can install it. It will install on the very same place where your InDesign program is found some additional plugins, which will give you access to Hebrew functionality, like RTL text. Otherwise you will inherit in the document (and where you copy and paste it from such a document into another one). But now you can change or repair problems.
    Now repeatstep 1 + 2, but you need not to install your own language again. InDesign will now, when started, run in the language of your OS (when you have it installed in that language) but with more functionality to handle problems with Hebrew documents.
    The same steps you would have to do with Arabic or Asian documents. These languages will also add more plugins. But keep it limitted to those language you need. I have installed it that way, because I get sometime documen where the text flows the wrong direction or the numbers come up in Farsi digit, not in Arabic digits. For such purposes I need versions in languages I don’t understand myself.

  • I have downloaded the two files needed for the upgrade of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 to version 12 but I cannot open them to make them run and install. What am I supposed to do. One is a very large .7z file just over 1gb in size.

    How do I open  up a .7z file just over 1gb in size? I have just downloaded this as an upgrade from Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 to version 12. I cannot see any sign of the Akamai program on my computer that is supposed to open and install the two files that I downloaded.

    Thanks Hans
    I don’t mind mountain climbing but anything serious to do with a computer scares me silly.
    I installed the 64 bit version of 7zip and once I figured out how to tell the computer to use the right application within that to open the 7zip file, the big file opened and I was able to apply the .exe file to get things going and installed. In the end the default location the installation chose was program files x86 which I think is the 32 bit folder but it all seems to be ok now.
    Many thanks again for your response.

  • CS3 File open by two users simultaneously

    I work in an office network environment, at a news paper, and we use InDesign CS3 to lay out our paper.
    We're having a problem where two users are able to open and work on the same file at the same time, and save it. It's led to work being lost.
    If one person has the file open, and another person tries to open the same file, there is no warning saying the file is already open, or message saying you can't open it because it's in use.
    How do we change the file permission (or whatever needs to be changed) to ensure we either can't open the file or at least get a warning saying it's already open?

    Just found out what my problem may be but don't know how to solve it. When I open a file it's not creating a lock file (.idlk).
    I did a search on our network for files with that extension and opened the related original file. Each time I open one of the InDesign pages it deletes the lock file.
    It's like it's working in reverse. Instead of creating a lock file when the InDesign page is opened and then auto-deleting it when it's closed, it's doing the opposite.
    My question now is how do I fix this?

  • Open two GUI( JFrame) simultaneously for one application

    Can we open two GUI( JFrame) simultaneously for one application at tha same time.if yes why ?and if no why?

    OK, its really simple, basically, you need a desktop frame to stor all the other frames and then you just pop them in, from a new class each time.
    Here's the code from the demo I learnt it from:
    (The demo itself)

    createFrame(); //create first "window"
    setContentPane(desktop);
    setJMenuBar(createMenuBar());
    //Make dragging a little faster but perhaps uglier.
    desktop.setDragMode(JDesktopPane.OUTLINE_DRAG_MODE);

  • Batch combine files into one illustrator document - how to open target document?

    I am making a script which will:
    1) Open a folder of Illustrator files
    2) Open each file in the folder (these files are called the source files)
    3) Select all the contents of the source file
    4) Copy the contents of the source file
    5) Paste these contents into a target file as a new layer
    6) Ensure the new layer has the same name as the old source file
    However, I don't know how to tell Illustrator where my target file is. How can I do this?
    Also, when I paste, how can I turn off paste rembers layers. (So the layers get pasted into the new layer that has the same name as the old document).
    Here is my code:
    // JavaScript Document
    //Set up vairaibles
    var destDoc, sourceDoc, sourceFolder;
    // Select the source folder.
    sourceFolder = Folder.selectDialog('Select the folder with Illustrator files that you want to mere into one', '~');
    // If a valid folder is selected
    if (sourceFolder != null) {
              files = new Array();
              // Get all files matching the pattern
              files = sourceFolder.getFiles();
              if (files.length > 0) {
                        // Get the destination to save the files
                        destDoc = document.selectDialog('Select the final saved document', '~');
                        for (i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
                                  sourceDoc = app.open(files[i]); // returns the document object
                                  var myLayers = sourceDoc.layers; // All layers in Active Document
                                  //Go through all layers of source document and copy artwork
                                  for (i = 0; i < myLayers.length; i++) {
                                            myLayers[i].hasSelectedArtwork = true;
                                  with(sourceDoc) {
                                            var count = pageItems.length;
                                            for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
                                                      pageItems[i].selected = true;
                                            redraw();
                                            copy();
                                            for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
                                                      pageItems[i].selected = false;
                                  //Create a new title variable that has the title of the source document
                                  var title = sourceDoc.name;
                                  var title = title.substring(0, title.length - 4); //(remove extension from name)
                                  //Close the Source Document
                                  sourceDoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
                                  //Open the Destination Document and create a new layer in it that is named after the title variation
                                  var newLayer = destDoc.layers.add();
                                  newLayer.name = title;
                                  //Paste into this new layer
                                  destDoc = app.paste();
              else {
                        alert('No matching files found');
    Thanks in advance for any help   
    Edit: Also, when pasting, how can I paste in place instead of just pasting.

    I have been studying this script. It is similar to what I need except it places the source files (Instead of copying & pasting them)
    http://kelsocartography.com/blog/?p=204
    I have adapted the script to my needs and it works perfectly, except it has the same problem as before: It pastes the first source file, but then it endlessly starts pasting the second source file (in a loop) and so I have to force quit.
    So my new question is, when looping through files how can you get illustrator to move on the next one?
    The original kelsocartography had this line:
    thisPlacedItem = newLayer.placedItems.add()
    thisPlacedItem.file = imageList[i];
    I belive this line is what makes Illustrator move onto the next file, but I am not sure how to adapt it to my code.
    Here is my code so far:
    function getFolder() {
              return Folder.selectDialog('Please select the folder to be imported:', Folder('~'));
    function importFolderAsLayers(selectedFolder) {
              // if a folder was selected continue with action, otherwise quit
              var myDocument;
              if (selectedFolder) {
                        myDocument = app.documents.add();
                        var firstImageLayer = true;
                        var newLayer;
                        var thisPlacedItem;
                        // create document list from files in selected folder
                        var documentList = selectedFolder.getFiles();
                        for (var i = 0; i < documentList.length; i++) {
                                  // open each document in file list
                                  if (documentList[i] instanceof File) {
                                            // get the file name
                                            var fName = documentList[i].name.toLowerCase();
                                            var sourceDoc = app.open(documentList[i]); // returns the document object
                                            var myLayers = sourceDoc.layers; // Select All layers in Active Document
                                            //Go through all layers of source document and copy artwork
                                            for (i = 0; i < myLayers.length; i++) {
                                                      myLayers[i].hasSelectedArtwork = true;
                                            with(sourceDoc) {
                                                      var count = pageItems.length;
                                                      for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
                                                                pageItems[i].selected = true;
                                                      redraw();
                                                      copy();
                                                      for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
                                                                pageItems[i].selected = false;
                                            //Create a new title variable that has the title of the source document
                                            var title = sourceDoc.name;
                                            var title = title.substring(0, title.length - 4); //(remove extension from name)
                                            //Close the Source Document
