Unexpected end of file encountered [-39]

Anyone know what this error message is? It happens when I try to collect for output in Quark 5.0

Hi mailman06,
According to Quark's support site, your best bet in this case would be to use a backup copy of the file (if a backup exists, that is).
If this is not an option, you might want to try saving the file under a different name (usig the Save As option) and/or running a disk utility (like Alsoft's DiskWarrior) to see if this can solve the issue.

  • Crash at start up photoshop on mac  for unexpected end-of-file encountered

    Hi,
    When I try to start Photoshop. I have the splash screen and it starts loading but when arrived at loading preferences, it stops and I have the error message :
    unexpected end-of-file encountered. Then "could not initialize photoshop because the preferences file was invalid ( it has been deleted). I am sure I have not deleted but I know my hard drive is almost full.
    What I can do ? I really need it. I  have photoshop CS5  on mac osx. I can't get photoshop cc because my imac is too old
    Thank you very much for your answer and help.
    Anne.

    Please read these and proceed accordingly (restoring Preferences might deserve special attention):

  • Unexpected end of file encountered

    When I try to open a TIFF file in Photoshop CS3 i got an error dialog saying "Unexpected end of file encountered" and I am not able to open the image. The same image can be opened in Illustrator and other image conversion tools without any error. How is it possible???

    The file is 180MB file. I just want to know why Photoshop is not able to open the file while Illustrator is able to open??
    P.S I am able to open the file in Preview and Illustrator and other image conversion tools also

  • I am getting a photoshop error could not load photoshop because the preferences file was invalid and cln't load actions because of an unexpected end of file encountered.

    I am getting a photoshop error could not load photoshop because the preferences file was invalid and cln't load actions because of an unexpected end of file encountered.

    Are you trying to open Photoshop directly, or open it by double clicking on a Photoshop document, like a PSD file?  If the former, then you might need to reinstall.  Resetting Preferences would be the firs step, but I am not sure if that will work if Photoshop is not opening in the first place.
    Try doing so anyway.  Hold down Shift Alt Ctrl (Shift Opt Cmd) while opening Photoshop. OK the message to delete Preferences.
    If you get the unexpected end of file error while trying to open Photoshop via a PSD document, then there is more than a good chance that that file is toast.
    If still stuck, we need to know Operating System, and Photoshop version.

  • CS5: "Unexpected end-of-file encountered" when opening a file [was:HELP!]

    I'm trying to open an art file I've been working on for the past week in Photoshop CS5 Extended, and I'm getting a message that my request cannot be complete because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.  I have no idea what to do.  I've been a Photoshop user for 14 years, and have never seen a message like this before. 

    Hi Curt...I'm new here, so I'll get the hang of it.  Thank you for your quick response.  I'm using the Mac OS X version 10.6.8  I'm a digital artist and was working on a psd file.  I use a wacom tablet and all of a sudden everything stopped responding.  I had to force quit Photoshop and open again.  That's when the window telling me an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.  So much work has gone into this piece of artwork, so needless to say, I'm beyond frustrated.  I had saved this work along the way just so I wouldn't lose it, but now this unexpected twist.  I will try what you suggested to see if it will help. 
    Again THANK YOU!

  • Any solution for "unexpected end-of-file encountered"?

    Using Mac 10.7.4 and CS5 Extended on an Imac 27.
    Today, working on a large file PSD suffix and Photoshop froze. and when I restarted i got "unexpected end of file " error message on the file i was working on, but on several other files also in that folder.
    Has anyone found a solution to this? Can you rebuild or restore the file in any way?
    The file shows on the hard drive now as 118.6 megs.
    The files show up in Bridge, but with small Previews.

    It doesn't help you with this file, but unexpected failure is precisely what the new Photoshop CS6 Auto-Save feature helps with.  If Photoshop were to crash/freeze/be forced closed/whatever, next time you start it it brings back whatever you were working on in the last few minutes before the failure.

  • Having error when opening psd file. "could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered". Im using a mac air, CS5.1

    "could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file encountered".

    Probably not good news I'm afraid. Hopefully you use Time Machine to keep regular backups of your work?
    Have you tried to open the file in Graphic Converter (shareware application)?
    I find file corruption practically non-existant these days. I would suggest that you maintain your machine. This can be done with Onyx http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html. Run all the tasks in the "automation" section of this application. 
    If you can do a drive check - checking your hard drive for physical issues might also be a good idea. 

  • CR 6.7 gives "unexpected end of file in clipboard" error

    When I first installed CR67 RC1 it worked fine.  After restarting Photoshop and Bridge, I then got an "unexpected end of file encountered" popup whenever Photoshop CS5.1 tried to open a file.  Bridge seemed to work fine, though.  Very strange.
    I then logged into another account on the same machine and CR67 and Photoshop worked fine.  After logging out of the first account and logging back in, CR67 RC1 started working fine in this original account that I had been using.  Plus, as a bonus, CR67 RC1 no longer displays the initial popup about how this is an RC.
    Overall, I wish I could uninstall CR67 RC1, anyone know how?

    This has been answered lots of times recently. I don't know a link offhand, but it'll be there, if you search for it.

    Hi gerry,
    does this happen for a particular image only, or for all images?
    And does this happen only from your account or also from other user accounts?

  • File Error: could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered

    I saved a painting I was working on in photoshop for the past week, went to open it up this morning and got the following error: could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.
    I tried opening it up in other programs with no luck. Any suggestions?

  • "Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered."

    I have gotten this error message a few times now. "Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered."
    My file many layers... a total of 100mgs+.  But I work with this kind of file often, so... hmm. It won't open.  Is it corrupted?  Any way to restore?  I can go back in time with our 'time machine program... but that brings me back to having a previous version and many hours of lost work. 
    I use a Mac OS x 10.5.8, Photoshop version 6 from the 2003 CS suite. 
    Thanks for any input or advice.  Rebecca Doyle

  • "could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered. what can i do?

    I've been working on a motion file in photoshop for my thesis and i tried opeining it today and it wont let me open the file. it says "could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered".
    I've saved the file every 5 minutes or whenever I do work but now i cant even open it at all. I NEED HEEEEEELP PLEASE!

    If it is in the forums (and actually, all over the place on the web) and it is a Photoshop issue in both Windows and Mac, I just assumed is.
    The unexpected eof could be a hardware issue or possibly owed to individual set-ups as it is not an issue that plagues all (or even an ostensible majority of) users.
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
    As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
    System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.

    Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
    If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

  • What to do when Photoshop says could not import clipboard because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered

    I have PC, with adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and windows 8. Every time I open Photoshop it says: could not import the clipboard because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered. If I exit the message I still cannot create files or open anything... any suggestions?

    When you load Action and when you create new actions they are saved into you Photoshop Preferences into Actions Palette.psp.  This File is read when you start Photoshop.
    Apple and Microsoft both like to hide important files on users.  Windows search and Apple finder will not find and show hidden files unless you change Mac and Windows setting.  I you getting the error when you start Photoshop there is a shortcut to reset preferences. Hold down Alt, Ctrl, and Shift keys (Mac: Command, Option, Shift) while starting up Photoshop you should be prompted to for an OK to delete preferences.
    If this keeps happening perhaps you have a bad spot on your disk.  Loaded actions are saved into that file so they should show up in the Actions Palette when Photoshop Start Up and read that file during start up. Photoshop Writes that file when you load action sets, when you record and edit actions and most likly also when you close down Photoshop.
