Unknown Error When Saving with CS6

I am receiving an unknown error when trying to save my document. I have tried to take off the PDF convertable part, and tried saving it legacy style, but it's still not working. I have a doc open I need to save and won't be able to shut my computer down until I fix this... What could be the issue? Is there a fix for it?
Thank you!!!!!!
Henri

After nearly ripping my eyeballs out and chucking my laptop out the window, I finally fixed the problem!
For some reason I didn't have a CMaps folder in my Adobe - Common Files - Font folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts\Reqrd\CMaps
So I made the "CMaps" folder and copied and pasted the files "Identity-H" and "Identity-V" from an "Adobe Reader" CMap folder, and now I can save text in an *.ai file with PDF Compatibility checked.
It's pretty strange Illustrator was working for 2 years without this folder, and now all the sudden it needed it.  Also, this is a very obscure fix.
Hopefully the programmers at Adobe have fixed these bugs in newer versions.

  • Unknown error when saving proposals - PS 2007

    Hi,
    I filled out a new proposal but when i save the proposal  it generates a page with an “unknown error”:

     Any idea of what may be happening when saving?

    Hello Alex
    Unknown Error typically occurs because the browser is expecting data for refreshing and the data is missing.   Based on this error message, it seems like you probably character data when it was expecting numeric data.
    I would try creating a proposal with using only the required  fields.  If it fails with required fields, then you have narrowed down, which fields are causing the issue. Examine each carefully and pay close attention to fields that may need numeric
    information.  Do not include $ signs.  Use only numbers and decimal.

  • Getting unknown error when printing with latest version(using HP Laserjet 1200). I can't print at all using this version. Able to print previously.

    My printer is a HP Laserjet 1200 series. I only get the error(an unknown error occurred while printing) when trying to print through FireFox. I can print email fine and any other instance as long as I'm not going through FireFox.

    Hello Josh,
    We are using a couple of EFI (Fiery) controllers with our Canon copiers and I have been told by Canon support that we need to be using the MacTel (Universal Binary) versions of drivers for Leopard. Luckily for us we have mostly new models of RIPs and the UB drivers exist for these models, but I know that they are not available for all models, which I believe includes your X3e.
    To determine if you have a driver or RIP issue, you could save the file as either PS or PDF and then use the EFI utilities, such as Command Workstation, to import the file to the RIP (select Process and Hold) and then see if you can print your multiple copies that way. If that works then you know that the RIP is probably okay.
    The next test would be to create a generic PS queue to the X3e and print using this queue. If this works then you can narrow your issue down to the driver.

    That error is too generic.
    It is reported in 100's or places.
    We would need steps to duplicate the problem.

  • Illustrator CC 2014- Unknown error when saving as PDF with Printer's Marks

    I've been getting an error message (bellow) when I save a ANY of my AI file as PDF with Printer Marls (Trim Marks etc).
    All fail attempts were files with: No transparencies - No effects - Simple Type (tried outlined and live) - Simple shapes.
    I tried:
    - Trash the Adobe Illustrator Settings folder
    - Reboot the application
    - Reboot computer
    - Rebuild file
    - Replace fonts
    Please help. I'm a print designer and that's vital for my line of work.

    Without system information and details like what PDF preset you use nobody can even begin to guess.

  • Unknown error when executing MDX when refreshing Crystal Report with BEx

    Hello Experts,
    I have created a Crystal Report (Crystal 2008 SP1) with BEx Query (7.10) and have been able to refresh successfully when the SAP_ALL authorization is included in my user role. I don't want my end users to have SAP_ALL so I created a role and assigned the authorizations recommended in the SAP Integration Kit for BusinessObjects 3.1 Install Guide.
    When I run the report as one of the users assigned to my new role I get the following error in the trace file.
    ERROR: .\crdb_bwmdx_execution.cpp [200]: l_bapiGetStreamInfo failed with return code RFC_RC = 0 Exception:  BAPI Error: BAPI Error #:0
    Unknown error when executing MDX
    2188     6556     Caught DbError #1 with Message 'BAPI Error #:0
    Unknown error when executing MDX'
    2188     6556     Caught DbError #1 with Message 'BAPI Error #:0
    Unknown error when executing MDX'
    2188     6556     Caught DbError #1 with Message 'BAPI Error #:0
    Unknown error when executing MDX'
    I tried all the Fix Packs (ie 1.1., 1.2 and 1.3) for XI 3.1 Integration Kit to try resolving the error but it didn't work.
    The same query works fine in BEx Web when running as one of the users in the new role I created for Crystal Report users.
    Are there any other Authorizations that I need to include in the role?
    Cheers.
    Paul.

    We have been able to identify what causes the MDX driver to error and I will explain what we are trying to implement with the hierarchies.
    Firstly, we are creating reports of the HR cube Mutliprovider using the SAP MDX Driver which works well when there are no authorization analysis set on the cube. But with the authorization analysis set for on 0ORGUNIT for BEx Explorer Crystal returns the MDX error.
    Each of the Business Unit managers are assigned to an Organization Unit that will be used to restrict the employees that will be reported. To restrict the Managers to only see their Org Unit we have set the 0ORGUNIT object to use authorization ananlysis and a custom authorization variable to return only data for the Org Unit they belong too.
    In Crystal this works well when a manager has an Org Unit that is a head department of other Org Units. This scenario will give Crystal the NodeID and Parent NodeID to create the hierarchies in the report. But when a manager does not have any other Org Units beneath there own department then Crystal doesn't have a Parent NodeID to create the Hierarchies with the NodeID. In the RFC trace I can see an error when Crystal is trying to get the Parent NodeID but the user is not authorized to that Org Unit then it throws the error.
    We have got a temporary workaround which is to create the managers a dummy Org Unit below their own department. The workaround will do for now but shouldn't the MDX driver be able to recognise that it has returned the last level in the Org Unit Hierarchy and not return an error?
    The customer is looking for a product fix as they believe this should be handled by the driver. Is this a bug or a limitation of the product?

  • 'Unknown Error' when trying to save files from CS under Leopard

    We recently upgraded to Leopard, and reinstalled our CS apps. Photoshop and InDesign work fine. Illustrator, however gives us an 'An Unknown Error has Occurred' when trying to save any file. After dismissing the alert, a window pops up, informing us that, 'Can't save preview, but all other information was saved successfully. The file couldn't be found. ID=-43.' This happens when trying to save a new file, or an existing file, when saving with PDF preview is checked, or unchecked. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I deleted preferences on both machines. The Intel seems to be cured. All file formats save, printing, and importing are functioning normally.
    The G5 however is only modestly improved. I can now at least create and save files. Printing also functions. However if I attempt to use the template dialog box or to import (place) a file the dialogs crash the application.
    My suspect is a corrupt font, but until I have time to track down which one it is, I'll have to limp along as is...

  • Unkown Error When Saving File

    I am in need of assistance with an issue I am having with Illustrator CS5.1.
    I am working in a Windows 7 Professional 64bit environment. The machines are all similar as far as hardware specs go. 1 gen2 intel 930 w/8 gigs of 1666 ram, and 2 gen1 intel 930's with 6 gigs of 1666 ram.
    I have recently installed an upgrade from CS4 design premium to CS5.5 design premium on multiple machines. I can open .pdf and AI files fine from the CS5.1 Illustrator but it gives me a message stating "Unknown Error" When trying to save to any format except template. Another thing I noticed is that when trying to set the default program to open .pdf it only gives me the option of CS4, even if I browse to the file folder that the new install of CS5.1 is in. I was under the impression that they 2 programs run side by side and the new does not overwrite the old. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I was under the impression that they 2 programs run side by side and the new does not overwrite the old.
    They do. Your file associations have nothing to do with that. You need to delete all of them in Windows Explorer and rebuild them from scratch manualyl. The short version is, that there are simply aalready too many contexct handlers registered and neitehr a program nor Windows itself can add any more. The rest is a bit vague - saving errors can have an infinite number of causes from permissions issues to hardware problems.

  • I keep getting "Unknown Error while saving"

    I keep getting "Unknown Error while saving"
    Using APE-11 on Windows 7- This error is a first for me, after many years of using Premiere. The product is a mix of photos (jpg and png), video clips (mpg-2 and mp4), and audio clips (all mp3). When I try to publish as Standard DVD- MPEG-2. I get the error. Error repeats saving as MP4.  Error gives no location on the timeline where it is running into an obstacle to saving, so I do not know where to begin looking to remove repair or replace the item causing the 'unknown error'. The prel runs fine, start to finish, giving no indication that the save may run into a problem on final rendering.
    I have tried many different options like rendering the entire timeline prior to saving, converting the clips to all be the same format, with no resolution to the problem.
    I have worked many long hours for many weeks on this project, and I am not going to give it up, especially when the majority of the clips were created on APE in the first place, and the images are all Photoshop edited images
    HELP PLEASE!!
    DougN

    Screenshot of error message for above issue
    Also: Since first report, I have attempted render with all sound clips removed (easiest to to with hundreds of clips/photos), with no help. Same error appears.
    I will continue removing aspects of the project until I get a completed save, or until I get an answer here!
    After removing the sound and video clips, video saved ok, with blank spots where the missing video clips were. So I reopened the original prel file, and began checking them individually.
    When I checked the clip properties, it correctly identified the path to the source video, but when I asked it to 'reveal in project', I got this error
    So I assume this is where the SAVE error is happening, but as I am not an Adobe coder, I have no idea what it is telling me.
    I did check to insure that the source video from which this clip originates, is in the project assets. I checked all the other clips as well, and any clip from this source video, generates the same error.
    The source video runs fine on its own and is an mpeg-2 file.
    Properties of the source video are:

    I tried using the same export setting for mpeg2 that I used in CS6, but CC will say Unknown error when I try to export. It will only work with Vpass 1 or 2. Any ideas why?

    Hi MEW1,
    Is the printer connected wirelessly or wired?

    That error can happen for many reasons...one of the reasons that I occassionaly get it is because I try exporting a movie to an external drive that has been formated in the old FAT32 instead of the NTSF standard.  FAT32 only allows for file sizes up to 2 gigs.  And as soon as it reaches that...I would get that error.  I don't know if that is why you are getting that error...but it would be easy to check.  1) are you generating a file that is over 2 gigs?  2) is your drive that you are exporting to FAT 32 (just right click the drive in My Computer and select "properties" then just look for what it says next to "file system".

  • Error when saving

    Hello BW Experts,
    I am getting this error while saving a query in Bex.
    'The query could not saved due to a problem in transport'.
    I am actually creating a test query production. I am not sure why it is refering to the transport. From what i understand there is nothing to deal with transports.
    Anyone experienced a similar problem before.
    Suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks,
    BWer

    OSS NOTE 194051
    Symptom
    An error occurs when you save a query:
    Error when saving
    "The query could not be saved due to a problem in transport".
    Other terms
    Business Explorer, query, transport, save, R9 124
    Reason and Prerequisites
    There are 4 possible reasons for this problem:
    1. The BEx default transport request or the development class-dependent transport request is not maintained or released in the Administrator Workbench.
    2. The system is set to "cannot be changed". Refer to Note 337950 (as of 2.0b SP 11), which describes how query objects can be edited in systems that cannot be changed.
    3. You are not authorized to write to Workbench requests.
    4. The BEx default transport request or the development-class-dependent transport request in the Administrator Workbench has another target system than the query (the transport destination of the query is determined via the transport layer of the query's development class (as of 3.0: of the package)).
    The error only occurs for query objects which already have a development class, that means, which were already placed on a transport request.
    Solution
    Solution for Cause 1:
    a) Start the Administrator Workbench
    b) Choose 'Goto' to change to Transport connection
    c) Choose "Request BEx" or "BEx development classes" in the toolbar.
    d) Create a (new) request.
    e) All changes in the BEx are now written to this request.The end user is no longer confused by 'Transport' dialog boxes.
    Solution for Cause 2:
    See Note 337950
    Solution for Cause 3:
    Authorize user to write to Workbench requests.
    Solution for Cause 4:
    Create a request for each target system. Assign the request suiting the target system of the transport layer of the development class (of the package) to each development class (as of 3.0: to each package) used for BEX objects.
    If this does not change the situation, further information is useful for error analysis.
    Go to Transaktion SE16, Table RSZCOMPDIR. In field COMPID, select the technical name of your query. Read the COMPUID of your query.
    Go to SE37, function module rso_elem_get_related. Parameter I_IOBJNM is set to the COMPUID, and parameter I_OBJVERS (object version) is set to A. Only the export parameters E_T_OBJ_EXISTENTIAL and E_T_OBJ_DEPENDENT are of interest.
    These entries are then entered in function module rs_tr_objects_check_insert in import parameter I_T_TR_OBJECT. In this parameter, fill field PGMID fixed with 'R3TR' and field OBJECT fixed with 'ELEM'. Field OBJ_NAME is filled with the contents of field OBJNM from export parameters E_T_OBJ_EXISTENTIAL and E_T_OBJ_DEPENDENT. The other fields are not relevant.
    The export parameters of this function module are required for further error determination. Add this information to your OSS message. The table of messages E_T_MSG is important in particular.

  • Unknown Error when I Logging and Transfer P2 Card files in FCP 6.0.6

    I have been trying for the past two week to Log and Transfer P2 files to my external hardrive using FCP 6.0.6 unsuccessfully.
    Originally I tried to Log and Transfer directly from the Panasonic HPX-170 in between my shooting. The first time it was a success but from then on I always get the same Unknown Error when attempting to transfer. When I encountered the Unknown Error during the second transfer I went on to create folders with the P2 contents on my external Hard Drive.
    When I drag any of the P2 folder content on the Log and Transfer window I can see all the clips. I can successfully transfer small B-roll clips I have but any big size file (all my interviews) return an Unknown Error symbol at the end of the transfer. I believe this is probably why I didn't encounter any issues during my first time.
    I tried deleting the preferences in FCP and then Logging and Transfer and it works if the systems settings are set for the Mac Pro but not for the external HD. The problem is I don't have enough space on my Mac. I have cleared 45GB of space but my P2 files total 54GB. I tried the same process with a Mac Power Book with FCP 5.1.4 and again in encounter the same problem.
    The external HD is a 1TB Western Digital that I have used before with FCP for editing but never before with P2 files. Its in good working order and has 79GB free space remaining. Both the camera and the P2 cards (16GB and 4GB) are also performing as expected.
    I would appreciate any suggestions.

    Shane's Stock Answer #36 - "One or more clips failed to import..."
    Very often in the field with this camera the camera operator will delete clips from the P2 card that they just don't like. That is the beauty of this camera. But, the still for that video file (located in the CLIP folder in the CONTENTS folder)...the still that you see when you are in the P2 Import window...is not deleted. So you will see the image, and the name, but the video file would have been deleted.
    What you can do it compare the file names in the VIDEO folder and CLIP folder and see if anything is missing. If something is, then you know what the problem is. You can then just import the rest a few at time, skipping that one.
    ALSO...in the P2 Import window...in the P2 Browser, there is a little sprocket drop down menu. Click on that and choose PREFERENCES. Uncheck REMOVE PULLDOWN and then try importing again.
    ALSO...make sure your file names aren't too long. Try shortening them and see if that works.
    ALSO make sure that the folders that contain the CONTENTS folder doesn't have any odd characters like /!@#$%^&*()?.
