Unable to open Captivate 4 file with Captivate 3

As the title suggests, I created a project in Captivate 4 and would to edit the project in Captivate 3. When I try to open it, I get the error message, "Adobe Captivate could not open "project.cp" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged..."
Are these files not backwards compatible, even from Captivate 4 to 3? Anything else I should consider?
(I created the project using a 64-bit version of Windows 7 , if that's a factor. I tried opening the file on another machine running Win XP, but got the same error.)

Hi there
Unfortunately Captivate projects are only forward compatible. And even that will have limits.
Your best bet is to have both versions installed on the same PC. Then create a new, blank project in Captivate 3 that is sized identically to the one in 4. Then perform a copy/paste to move the content from 4 to 3.
Note that any buttons or click boxes will likely need re-linking and you cannot expect things that are "4 specific" to work in 3 any longer. (Widgets, Advanced Actions and the like)
Cheers... Rick

Have you used Nikon Transfer on those files? Early versions are known to corrupt files so that ACR can't read them. Nikon has since fixed the bug so new versions are safe.

UNABLE TO OPEN WMV FILES WITH FLIP 4 MACan

I am unable to open wmv files even after having downloaded flip 4 mac. I know the files are are not damaged because they open and play on my other mac (off of external drive). Are there any other settings adjustments in preferences or anywhere else that I need to make to open these files? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Did you repair permissions & restart after installing Flip4Mac?

Error when trying to open Mac file with Captivate 6 Win

I've tried opening Captivate 6 files (.cptx/.cptl) that were created on the Mac version with Captivate 6 on Win7. Got the error message "can't open file" telling me to check the file and my resources. Resources are ok, the file was sent via email.
How can I set up a workflow for Captivate 6 between Mac and PC users that works? The discussion to Win files crashing Captivate Mac didn't help as there's no solution posted. Are there any issues concerning the compatibility of Mac and Win files within Captivate 6?
Any help is very much appreciated a we've got a deadline looming.

Unable to open PDF files with acroread

Hi,
We have a solaris 9 server with acroread installed on the server. When I log in to the server with any local user (root or any other user) I'm able to open the PDF files which are locally on the server as well the PDF files which are on NFS Share with acroread but when a user whose home directory is NFS mounted log in to the server, he is neither able to open PDF files which are local on that server nor the PDF files which are on NFS share with acroread.
I have tried by restarting the NFS services and also by rebooting the server but the same problem persists.
Please suggest.
Thanks!!!!

Hello Harpreet,
As I understand,default Gtk+ version on Solaris 9 is 2.1.0. You must have a higher version of Gtk+ installed on this machine since you are able to launch Adobe Reader. Could you let us know if the version of this Gtk+ installation is 2.4.9. Also, does your NFS share contains home directories of a large number of users? Does "unable to open" means that Adobe Reader becomes unresponsive?
If this is the case, you need to upgrade the Gtk+ installation to the recommended version i.e 2.6 or higher.
Regards
Sanika

Unable to open PDF files with Adobe Reader v11.0, in Windows 8, using C# Process.Start()

I have been able to open PDF docs using C# API Process.Start("Full_path_To_the_PDF_File")
in windows 7 or windows 8 with all previous versions of Acrobat32 reader.
However, with v11.0, the same command, in Windows 8,
does not open the PDF document. I can see the Acrobat(32) started in the task manager,
but the document does open. Not sure how I can troble shoot
this problem.
As a test, I created ta batch file, with a simple command that calls AcroRD32.exe with a PDF file as a parameter. When I executed the batch file in cmd window, it opens the PDF document. If I execute the batch file using Process.Start(), again it does not
work. The CMD window opens but, the document does not open. The cmd window just stays open.
So, there must be something with opening the PDF using the Process.start() command.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

This is something Adobe has to troubleshoot. Probably the pdf file association is broken. I suggest you to visit forums.adobe.com to ask Adobe about your problem.

Unable to open RAW files with Photoshop CS6 - Camera Raw

Hi all,
I'm trying to open .CR2 files from a Canon 450D on Photoshop CS6 as well as with Lightroom 4 but it doesn't work.
I've updated the Adobe Camera Raw to its latest edition (8.8), but anyway, when I try to open them it appears the message below: It basically says that photoshop is not able to open the file, make sure that you have installed the latest edition of Camera Raw and to visit the link for further info...
After looking for solutions on Internet, I've also tried to convert the RAW files into DNG, but Adobe DNG converter says that the folder does not contain any RAW file, though they are all .CR2 files...
I've tried several times in many ways... Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Hi Benjamin,
You were right. It was the camera's provided software transfer system. I've copied them directly from the (same) card to the desktop and works.
Many many thanks! Cheers

Unable to open PDF Files with adobe reader VI

I have downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader VI I am still not able to open PDF Files. When I click on the file I get a blank window with a little black box inside a White X! This black box appears in the upper left hand corner of the blank window! Please any help to overcome this issue is welcomed...Rick

You are not addressing Adobe here, just fellow users, and you are not providing enough information about your problem. Based on the little you say, I would sauy that you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:

Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from

Unable to open zip files with Archive Utility or StuffIt

Hello,
I am running Mac OS X 10.7.3. I have been attempting to download and install the Eclipse Java IDE from both www.eclipse.org and from a Stanford course website. In the first case the file is offered as a tar.gz and in the second case it is a .zip. When I attempt to open either file using Archive Utility or StuffIt Expander I get a never ending pinwheel. I am forced to restart to get Finder working porperly again and quiet the fan down. My wife's computer, also running Mac OS X 10.7.3, can extract the files without a problem.

Why am I unable to open this file with Adobe Reader?

I am trying to open the following file,
http://www.profitableglass.com/profiles/hotglass/files/profitableglassquarterlyspring%
and an error message says:
The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to
view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version
8 or 9 is neccesary.
I am running Adobe Reader 9.3 on Windows XP/service pack 3 and
what does Acrobat have to do with this, if I only want to view file?
Chris

This is cbuzz1, with a possible answer to my own question. From some web research and a few phone calls it appears that Adobe Reader 9.3 does not support I.E.8... I uninstalled Adobe Reader 9.3 and installed Adobe Reader 8.2, and no problems whatsoever. It does bother me though that when you go to Adobe Downloads and select Windows XP-sp3 operating system, the first option is to download Adobe Reader 9.3. It doesn't ask which browser you are using...So basically I spent three hours finding out something that I couldn't learn from Adobe Tech Support...

Indesign unable to open a file with name that contains letters "ä" and "ö"

Hi, I just updated indesign and it seems it lost the ability to open files that have letters "ä" and "ö" in the file name.
After I renamed the files, they were opened fine.
Error I get is: "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application"
Hope this will be fixed, many languages contain those letters.
Edit: Indesign CS5.5 Version: 7.5.3

Sorry for the lack of details
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
OS Language: Finnish
Indesign language: English
Procedure where this problem appears:
- Drag and drop a file (no matter what extension).
- Place a file.
File name in question: EtsiväNuorisotyö_juliste_A3_PRINT.pdf
Also tried with different file formats: EPS and JPG.
File works when renamed "ä" to "a" and "ö" to "o".
Also tried placing and drag and drop after I copied the files from network drive to desktop, same result.

Unable to open RAW files with Samsung TL350 with PSE 8.0

I have tried downloading camera raw 6.3 which seems to be the right upgrade, but I have trouble opening it. I even installed the adobe download manager 1.5. I have windows XP with service pack 3 and 1GB RAM,Intel Core (TM)2 CPU [email protected] processor.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Unfortunately, you can't use 6.3 with PSE 8, only with PSE 9. 6.2 is the last update that's compatible with PSE 8. If that doesn't support your camera, you can try downloading the standalone DNG converter part of the 6.3 update and see if PSE 8 will recognize the DNG files from your camera, or else use the Samsung conversion software and then open the converted file in PSE for further editing.
