Unreadable Files - Jpg converted from Illustrator

I designed a poster in illustrator. Then exported them as jpeg's. The files open just fine and I am able to use them and print them. When I try to import them into iPhoto the come up at Unreadable files. I tried to save them again and in different names. I have several files doing the same.
Any help would be great. I really need to these in a slide show for work.
Thanks
Todd

Todd:
Where are these files located when you try to import? If you've put them inside the iPhoto Library package/folder then you'll need to move them to the desktop and import from there.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How did my pdf files get converted from 'open with Adobe Reader' to open with Adobe Acobat'? And if I have a ''free'' Acrobat account why does it not open? When I do click on the account it ask me to pay $89.99. I never wanted Acrobat. How can I get -

How did my stored files get converted from 'open with Adobe READER' to 'open with Adobe ACROBAT'? How can I get them re-set to open with 'Adobe Reader'?
Please reply to my e-mail: [email protected]

It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

Problem of JPG converted from LR:(

Hi everyone,
Is anybody here a Canon DSLR user? I just got a problem when using LR to deal with RAW file.
Originally, I use DPP and Arcsoft (these two software is presented when u bought the camera) as "one RAW converter" + "one PS tool". I am learning to use LR these days. However, I found the quality of JPG exported via LR is much inferior than that of DPP. The detail lost in LR-exported JPG file. Of course, I notice the default setting of LR's JPG export is 60 and I just set the figure as 100 for best pic.
Actually, the size of the JPG proved my feeling. The JPG exported from DPP is usually around 5~6M while the same JPG exported from LR is only about 4M.
So, did anybody also find this problem and finally get a high-quality JPG? The LR beats DPP nearly in all aspects and I really want use LR as my major "photo developer".
Many thanks for your help:)

Which Canon DSLR are you using?
I also shoot raw and have a 5D, an XT, and LR blows the doors off DPP for output quality in my work. I've never used Arcsoft so I have to pass on that one.

Hidden file when converting from raw to jpeg. How to delete this?

I just found out that when converting raw into jpeg in Photoshop there is a hidden file enclosed starting with ._ Computers don't see them but televisions do. I discovered this because I want to show a batch of my images on a television with a usb of a sd card. It shows my images and after each normal image I get a black image with a questionmark. It says 'cannot read this file' and it shows the name of the image but with a ._ in front of it. For instance garden.jpg and then -_garden.jpg. Computers don't read images starting with ._ but televisions seem to do so. I want to delete these ._ images because I cannot show a slide show of my images on a television. Anyone can help? It seems that this hidden file is incorporated into the jpeg file.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks. I have thought of this solution but these files are not showing when I set it this way. I had a specialist helping me to find this problem and he was very surprised that these hidden files didn't show up in his special program for showing hidden information. Only when going deeper and deeper into this program these files showed on his computer. As they are incorporated into the original file (the jpeg version) you don't seem to be able to delete them. What do people do when they want to show (jpeg converted from raw)images on their tv?
I have a Mac if that helps.

How to use .joboptions file while converting from Word to PDF

Hi,
I'm pretty new to Acrobat. I'm using Acrobat XI. I need to convert a word document to a PDF file which conforms to certain requirements described by a given .joboptions file. The .joboptions file can be opened by distiller, but as far as I know distiller is not invovled in the conversion (Word to PDF) process. So how can I make sure the converted PDF file meets the requirement described by the .joboptions file?

Distiller is used when converting from Word to PDF, if you do it via the Acrobat panel, not the Adobe PDF printer or Word's internal Export to PDF command. If you've loaded your joboptions file in Distiller (via Settings - Add Adobe PDF Settings), then you will see it in the drop-down of Conversion Settings when you click the Preferences button in the Acrobat panel in Word.
After you've selected your job options profile click the Create PDF button, and the file will be converted using the selected options.

How can I save a text file to disk from Illustrator ?

Hi,
I was looking through the Javascript reference and couldn't find anything related to writing strings to a text file on disk.
Is this possible ? If so where should I look ?
Otherwise, can I run a bit of code in Terminal/CommandPrompt from Illustrator (.e.g. echo 'Hello!' >> file.txt) ?

Here's something that I think Muppet Mark or Carlos Canto posted earlier
#target illustrator
var textFile = File('~/Desktop/AI.txt');
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var docText = '';
for (var i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++)
docText += doc.textFrames[i].contents + '\r';
textFile.open('e');
textFile.write(docText);
textFile.close();

Why does the image go blurry when I export my file to jpeg from Illustrator CS6?

Hi,
I have created an image on illusrator CS6 and am ready to save it.
I have saved it as a pdf format and the image stays as a sharp vector image and not blurry at all.
But I also want to keep the image as a jpeg. So when I go to export the image from illustrator CS6 as a jpeg, the end result comes out blurry and not sharp anymore, but more jagged on the edges of the image.
Is there anything I can do to keep my file as a jpeg with it staying as a sharp crisp image?

The image above is a screenshot of the ai.file
Above - second image is the screenshot of my export settings
the 3rd image above is a close up zoomed in part of the image - the edges are jagged and blurry

Has anyone created a file format converter from "universal file format" uff, to another format?

I need to find or create a file converter from the different Universal formats to another ASCII format. Does anyone know where I can get formating information about UFFs? Has anyone done this? Thanks in advance.

The UFF file info can be found at http://www.sdrl.uc.edu/uff/uff.html
The Sound and Vibration Toolkit 5.0 and the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite 5.0 offers LabVIEW VIs to read and write UFF58 files.

Lock a PDF file when converted from Smartform

Hello Experts,
In our current project we have an urgent requirement to apply a Lock to a PDF document
so it cannot be amended. This is a PDF document and not an Adobe interactive
form, which currently cannot be used on the project. We are seeking help from
other colleagues who have had successful experience in achieving the creation
of a lock to the PDF document which is generated as an output from a SAP Smart
Form and then e-mailed to the recipient, in this case end Customers, therefore
integrity of information to prevent changes is a legal requirement. We are
aware of an encrypted password option but in this case we need to apply a lock
to the PDF document.
Many Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards,
Nikhil

Distorted Files when converting from Excel to PDF

Hello,
I work in IT and I have an annoying issue that when someone using Excel 2007 clicks on the acrobat tab to create a PDF from excel. The finished PDF file is distorted, and will not show the files as they should be. Part of the graph will be missing. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Acrobat Pro X, the only thing that happened was that when creating a new user, the new user is able to create a perfect excel to PDF file with no issue, but the original user with the issue still has the same problem. Is there a setting that will fix this?

Hi,
Please share your file if possible so that I can look into the problem. Please use below link:

Black frames at the end of an exported file when converting from 60p to 24p

I have another export issue that I can't figure out.
I import footage I shot at 23.98fps (on a JVC HD100) using a Kona LH card at 59.94fps DVCPro HD, in which it has a 2:3 cadence. I need to make files that are actually 23.98p DVCProHD. Unfortunately, when I export in Final Cut from the 59.94 original, the new 23.98 file has all of the image, exported correctly, followed by a number of black frames such that the total number of frames in the exported file equals the number of frames in the original file. That is:
If the original 59.94 file was 3s long, that is 60 * 3 = 180 frames. The exported 23.98 file also has 180 frames, but only 3s of image = 3 * 24 = 72 frames, followed by 180 - 72 = 108 frames = 4s 12frames of black.
How can I prevent this from happening, and end up with an exported file that is (e.g.) just the 3s of image, and not 7.5s of which 4.5s are black?
It's true that I can manually clip this black off, but I need to do many clips as a batch, and would really not have to change one clip at a time. It is also true that I can do a batch in compressor, and that this process does not suffer this problem -- that is, there is no extra black -- however, there is another problem: the original 59.94 DVCProHD files are actually 1280x720 with square pixels; the files exported from FCP via the KONA DVCProHD codec maintain this true HD proportion, but the ones exprted through compressor (which does not appear to support the KONA LH implementation of DVCProHD as an option) have the size 960x720 with anamorphic pixels, and I would rather keep the original size. Thus, I would rather export from fcp. If anyone has any insight into how I might resolve this....
Thanks,
Robert Schaller

Thanks. If I understand you correctly, it does seem to export correctly if I paste the 59.94 clip into a 23.98 sequence (you can't nest sequences that have different time bases) and export from there, and it doesn't even have to specify square pixels, etc.: the AJA codec implementation seems to take care of that. There is no longer any extra black, so, per file, that gives the right result.
That, however, is only one part of the problem, though a significant part. Next is, I really would like to do this as a batch process, as I tend to have many clips to do at one time. As soon as I try any kind of batch export, I end up with one of two problems:
1) if I try to batch export from fcp, I'm back to having extra black frames, or
2) if I try to batch export with compressor, I get 960x720 files.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to get the right files in a batch, that would be the next step. Is fcp scriptable? And, if so, can you write a script that takes a clip, pastes it into a blank 23.98 DVCPro timeline, sets the correct in and out points (i.e, in at the beginning and out 1 before the end), exports it with a specified codec and time base, with a name based on the source clip, and then repeats that as needed?
Thanks for any input --

e.g. the javascript reference doesn't seem to have a tiff export type:
ExportType :
FLASH

Converting files to InDesign CS3 from Illustrator

We have lot of files needs to be converted from Illustrator to InDesign CS3.
How can it be done? We have tried but it is coming as an image & can not modify anything.

Yeah, you're right as usual, Peter, but what if there isn't any vector artwork in the Illustrator file? You'd be aghast at the number of fill-in-the-blank forms I've converted from Illy to ID; files that needed the typographical control of ID, but didn't need any real vector content. You know, where the blanks should have been done with tab leaders, and instead are a forest of underscores, really short text boxes with "rich black" stroke, text boxes with fill but no stroke, et cetera. Forms where the only "artwork" is a 72 ppi raster logo pasted from a Word file. I could go on for hours in this vein.
You might be assuming that the OP's Illustrator files were made by a competent, non-crazy designer, and that they are mostly vector content and therefore should have been made in Illy in the first place. Over here in nonprofit-land, I can't afford to make such assumptions. So, I'm not going to assume that there's any vector content at all in Masud's files. Maybe there is, maybe there isn't. How can I judge, from the ~20 words that he's posted on the topic? I mean, maybe jongware is absolutely right in assuming that the OP is trying to make ID the do-it-all app, but we have no way to know.
Speaking of which: Hey, Masud, you had best post some details about your project (like the details that Bob requested, for example), unless you want this thread to die.

Info resets for files that were converted from MKV

I recently converted some files mkv (and *** subtitle files) to mp4 (using Videora). They play in Quicktime and are added to iTunes without problem. When I hit "get info" I can change the settings easily and the video now pops up in the correct tv show and season and all, but the artwork immediately reverts to the default (which is a screen capture iTunes auto-creates). If I go into get info again the name also resets to what it was when I added the file (although everything on the video tab holds, just not the info tab and artwork). Also, I can see in "%itunes-music-folder%\movies" (for me f:\music\movies) the file names aren't changing which is probably why it resets. Files I converted from avi take info updates correctly (get info holds and filename on the hdd changes). Any ideas?

the subtitle file is ".***" file type (a-s-s) it seems the apple forums auto-mask curse words.

Editing files that have been converted from Word documents

Will I be able to save and edit the PDF files I convert from Word documents?

Hi,
Yes it is possible to edit the PDF files and save the changes. You need to use Adobe Acrobat for this.
