Type tool is giving me "can't open resource file"

Hi everyone, this is frustrating.
Everytime I choose the TYPE tool and click anywhere in the document i get a message "can't open resource file".
Google search did not bring anything.
Please, if anyone knows how to fix it.

Make sure you install the 7.5.2 update patch, and try trashing your prefs. See Replace Your Preferences

Adobe reader can't open a file because it's not supported type of file or it's damaged?

Error while opening pdf in reader in windows 8:Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format

I have a problem with a pdf file which does not open with reader in windows 8 but it opens properly with adobe pdf reader. All other pdf can be opened in reader.But when i open a pdf(see this link for pdf for which i got error http://incometaxsoft.com/temp/Form.pdf)
it gives error as "Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format".
The same file opens properly in adobe pdf reader.You can check the pdf file which i have mentioned in the link above.But the reader which comes with windows 8 can open some other pdf in the same PC.What may be the error causing this??

This has turned out to be an enormous issue for me as I sell PDF files as ebooks. I have done a fair amount of investigating this for my system.
My files have to be compatible not just across readers but across operating systems.
To date, I have over 200 PDFs that have functioned flawlessly across Mac, PC (Windows 7 and below), Android, iPhone/iPad, Linux.
I personally test my PDFs using a variety of readers and PDF editors including
PDF XChange (my favorite)
Foxit (runner up for me and I recommend for most people)
Adobe (the bloated monster)
Nitro 9 (great for moving graphical elements around)
ABBYY
And the Nuance PDF Create toolsets
Those are off the top of my head. There are a bunch on Android that I test with too.
I am running the Windows 10 Pro Tech Preview and I have this same problem so I know it isn't fixed yet in any kind of pre-release way (-sigh-)
Here is what I've learned for my situation
The PDFs I created using NUANCE'S PDF CREATE PROFESSIONAL VERSION 8
all fail using the built-in Windows 8/10 PDF reader.
When I look at the PDF properties for these Nuance created files, the underlying engine used to write them is called "ImageToPDF". Using ABBYY it indicates their own engine as does everyone else that I've tried. It is easy for you to check to see
what created your PDF by doing a "Control D" (look at the document properties). Perhaps there's a common engine causing issues.
If I use the exact same source files to create a PDF using any of my other tools I have no issues. I checked the PDF versions made by the tools and they are all set to 1.5.
A customer mentioned being able to convert them in a way they worked by saving them without having to do any kind of extraction, but I have not been able to duplicate that. Perhaps he did a "print" which seems like it could work.
In summary, the workaround everyone is talking about, using an alternate reader, of course works. But not everyone wants to change.
The culprit I have found is my Nuance PDF Creation tools that are using the ImageToPDF engine.
I hope it gets FIXED as I really don't want to have to regenerate all of my PDF files.

Can't open PNG files in PS CC

Hi.
I can't open png-files in PS CC. The following error message appears (Translated from Swedish): Can't fulfill your request because it's not the right type of document/file type.
Can anyone help me with this, please?
Thanks

Okay I have gone over some common problems. I don't know what else it might be.
Google "photoshop will not open png" and see if there are some answers we might have both missed.

Can't open .ase file in Dutch Ps cs4

Hi,
I can't open .ase files in Dutch PS cs4. I have tried it with different .ase files.
Can somebody tells me what's wrong?
Thanks,

I was trying to open and old .pmd Page Maker file that was created in a Windows version of Page Maker. I am not sure what version they were saved in. The file was created in July of 2006 if that helps.
It's been a long time since I was up to speed on PageMaker. The pmd file extension refers to Pagemaker 5, right? InDesign should be able to import the output of PM 6.5 and PM 7, but I've found that the PM6.5 import is usually pretty decent, while for some reason the PM7 import is flaky. This probably is a result of changes in the way the documents were build by the, ah, "designers," and has comparatively little to do with the abilities of ID to open PM files of various versions. PM5, however, can't be imported by InDesign, I think.
What happens when you try to open them? Does InDesign crash, or does it fail without an error message, or ??? More details, please.
Is there a way to open this file. I also have a pdf that I created from this file. I have Acrobat CS4 Is there a way to export the pdf back to an Indesign file. Just another thought regarding this file.
Well, there's always the PDF2ID tool, but since PDF is an uneditable container format, the results of running a PDF through PDF2ID is not reliable. Sometimes you get something very much like the source document, but I've found that most often it is faster to rebuild from scratch. I didn't buy PDF2ID, but that is because my clients' bizarro formatting techniques break on conversion. A very simple document might come back a lot cleaner.

Suddenly can't open .eps files in FW8

Hi all-
I suddenly can't open .eps files in FW8. Starts to open and then says "Internal error occurred" Text tool is also acting up. I think it may be related to one of the extensions I downloaded from the Adobe Exchange. Or, maybe it was something I did. Probably the latter. Either way, it seems like my FW8 has gotten corrupted. Ran spyware, adware, defrag, and virus scans. Even talked nice to my computer, but nothing has worked. I looked for patches or downloads on Adobe's site but there are none for FW8.
Anyway, I'm guessing my only option is to reinstall, unless someone out there has a better idea. If I do reinstall, does it erase everything? Meaning, will I lose all extensions and all the settings?
Thanks for your help!

Using Win XP Media center edition v 5.1 Service Pack 3. Been too afraid to upgrade to Vista. Probably about time to upgrade my FW.
I searched my entire machine for that file, both by file name and by all .txt files and could not find a "Preferences" file anywhere. Here's what came up under the FW directory path:
Thanks for your help, Heathrowe!

Can't open .DNG files in Preview

I am using Adobe DNG converter OR Lightroom to convert .RW2 from a Panasonic Lumix 3 to .DNG
_This works:_
1. Working with files in LR
2. Use PanoMaker to create panoramas
3. Create HDR with Photomagix
_This does not work_
4. Open files with MAC OS X 10.4.11 Preview (Vorscha) even though thumbnails look ok.
It says (in German) that it can not open the file
5. View files in Houdahgeo - Adding GPS info works
5. Use Photomagico to creat slide shows - only see thumbnails at the bottom
I also played with the settings in Adobe DNG Converter and LR (Raw 2.4, 4.1, 4.6, 5.4, User...Linear...Not compresse) but it did not help.
I searched multiple forums, found the problem twice mentioned on the side but never resolved. One hinted that its a problem since 10.4.11
Message was edited by: schillab

.... 3 additional additions to my original message.
(a) I am still on Tiger 10.4.11
(b) The conversion if from Canon's CR2 to .DNG in Adobe Raw Converter (ARC) or LightRoom (LR) can be viewed in Preview just fine
(c) It almost looks like ARC or LR convert in way which is good encough for LR and a few others (Panomaker, HDR tools etc.) but not for all
Any ideas how to fix?

Can you open freehand files in CS6?

can you open freehand files in CS6? I have been using both illustrator & freehand for 15 years & have thousands of work files being freehand.
It seems very disappointing to have to keep an old version of illustrator just to open these files. I also find it interesting that many of the key tools that freehand had over illustrator are not translated into the newer versions of illustrator. Something simple like you still can't have a unique picture bullet • before text in illustrator. In freehand you could cut & paste any graphic into the text you were designing.

No. The conversion plugin didn't make it into CS6 so the last import function was CS5.5
It seems very disappointing to have to keep an old version of illustrator just to open these files.
At this point, it is the only way to make your files convert into Illustrator although I've had some luck with exporting to EPS or (if your FH graphics are simple enough) save as AI format. Keep your eyes on this project however : http://www.stagestack.com/

As a fellow FreeHand user, I couldn't agree more. Other users of both programs have said this endlessly over the years here. A litany of features are still m.i.a. since FHMX was acquired years ago... including inline graphics. It's almost comical.

I can't open PDF File Attachments

Hello,
I use the environments Windows 7, MS Office 2010 and Adobe Reader 11.0.09.
In the perferences on the categories Trust Manager I had actived the function: PDF File Attachments: Allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external application
Now I'm trying in a PDF document to open a Word or Excel file and get the error message: Acrobat can not open the file attachment Because your PDF file attachment setting do not allow this file type to be opened.
And I can just open Word and Excel files.
If I open the PDF file with Adobe Acrobat 11.0.09 then I can do that.
Someone has a idea.
Regards
Erdem

Hi Aadesh,
I had actived the Trust Manager -> 'Allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external application' on Acrobat and Reader 11.0.09.
I can open the non-PDF files with Acrobat but not with Reader.

Erdem

Can't open sql file in subfolders.

Hi,
1. I can’t open any file by Windows Browser, right click, and open with SQL Developer if the file is located in subfolder which is several levels deep from C:\.
2. I can’t use Files (from SQL Developer) to browse subfolders than 7 or 8 levels deep from C:\.
In the first case SQL Developer starts (if not running) without to open the file. If the sql file is located in first 3, 4 levels of sub folders – works.
In the second case it just stopped working. In the panel (Files) Loading … appears and nothing.
I change Tools/Preferences/Navigation level from 20 to 50 – same!
Windows 7 Enterprise 8 GB
SQL Developer Version 3.1.07 Build MAIN-07.42
JDK 1.6
Moreover SQL Developer uses 700 MB memory. It was 200 - 300 MB on Windows XP.
If somebody has similar experience - please help?

Hi Gary,
I am sending the log without CTRL-Break. The problem is same as the another thread.
This is the error of the very beginning.

I'm recording video on JVC HD camera.Every 13:54 it starts a new file.I have one file that won't play.I get this message:Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens this one file.Ideas?

I can't open one Quick Time movie file. It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens on this one file. All the others of a two hour shoot are fine.
Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it?

Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.

Can't open my files.

I just upgraded to Yosemite and the latest version of Pages. Now I can't open my files on iCloud. I get a message that says: File type can't be opened. Thoughts?

Same for me. I can open them on the iCloud beta web app, but not on regular pages. Everything is updated to the latest OS X and Pages version.

I can't open .xlsx file in UIWebView.

I can't open .xlsx file in UIWebView. I'm using iPhone OS 4.2 sdk for my development. I got the "Invalid file format" error when I open the .xlsx file.
I founded this article. Here clearly mentioned .xlsx file format not supported in iPhone OS 2.2.1 and iPhone OS 3.0.
Is it possible to open on iPhone OS 4.2 or later?

Wow....so far behind.
Move to current tools and then try again, pls/thanks.

I have PSD cc, had cs6 ex I did update, can't open ANY files, reinstalled, same..dead programs

I work in PSD cs6 ex constantly, recently i updated to cc. Today I can't open any file, Recent, old, make a new, open from library etc, NOTHING will open, i request a file, programs act like they are deaf. They arent locked up, just dont open or create files. Everything on my com is updated. I uninstalled and reinstalled and same. Also I no longer can install cs6 just CC.

Even the term "I request a file" is ambiguous.
Please provide more detailed information. Ideally, show some screen grabs showing what you are seeing, and identify just what isn't working.
Best advice, based on no specific information provided, is to uninstall using the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool / process to really get everything cleaned up, then reinstall.
