Urgent - saving 'converted' files

i'm in the middle of a project, joined creative cloud, upgraded muse, and now my files show up as 'converted' and won't save, save as, none of that. what do i do? i've tried everything. this project has about 20 pages. i can't start from scratch *every time* this happens. yes, it's happened before, but there were only 5 pages then. i would really appreciate a fix for this asap!
love, horrified.

screenshot above. no error messages. no crashing. i can go in, edit, but can't save. that's the only way it's unresponsive - when you go to save, the 'save' button (no matter what) is greyed out. also, it won't even let me make a new folder to save in.

Saving "[Converted]" files in InDesign CC 2014

Creative Cloud installed InDesign CC 2014 for me, which is somehow different from InDesign CC. (I thought the whole reason for having Creative Cloud was to not worry about versions ever again, but I digress).
Now, when I open my InDesign files, they appear as "filename.indd @ 100% [Converted]" and when I hit Command-S to save, I get sent to the "Save As..." window in a totally different directory from my original file.
How do I prevent this from happening? i.e. I open an InDesign file, edit it, and then hit save, and it saves with no further interaction necessary.
Thanks!

If you are using OSX you might checkout the Default Folder utility—it lets you control the Save and Save As dialog directories.
If not, I would give my user an option to overwrite using the older format to avoid any new-version "flakiness."
You've never been able to back save InDesign files you have to first save as IDML to move backwards.
I use this AppleScript to batch convert folders of ID files. The script asks for a folder and converts any ID files to CC2014 and copies the originals into an ~~Archive subfolder:

While saving a file, I have converted all my files to Pdf. The only way to restore previous is to delete Adobe. Does anyone have a soution?

While saving a file, I have converted all my files to Pdf. This made everything inaccessible, even Explorer. I had to delete Adobe to get back to some of the previous files. I tried to restore system to previous, but I kept getting a pop up message that said I did not have enough shadow space. Does anyone have a solution? Greatly appreciate your help.

Application, file icons change to Acrobat/Reader icon

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

Any idea why my saved documents are unable to be read? "convert file from" box pops up, applications are listed to use but if any are chosen, the file then opens but is in symbols

When attempting to open saved documents for viewing a box pops up "convert file from" with applications that can be chosen from to use. When any of the options are chosen the document then opens but is in symbols and is unreadable. This is happening with all saved documents. Can you offer any help with this?

Hi,
If you don't find any clue, you can send your file to me (guillaume.rouyreATgcosiDOTcom, replace cap) so I can give a try.
Hope this helps,

Saving converted Export PDF files

I use the Export PDF function, convert to Word Doc, and a dialogue appears asking me to download the conversion as it is successful. When I try to save the document to my Desktop, it won't. There is a drop-down box next to the Save button that says 'Save to Online Account' - I have no idea what this means - where is my converted file and how do I access it?

Hi DJ,
I'd like to assist!
Are you using a MAC or PC?
You can always access your files by going to files.acrobat.com and logging in using your Adobe ID and password. You should be able to download them from there.
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Kind regards, Stacy

How to set jpeg resolution when saving pdf file as jpeg

I'm running Acrobat using interprocess api, I can invoke a script to save a pdf file as JPEG, but I need to be able to set the resolution of the saved jpeg file.
Any clues as to how I can do that ?

Hi
I am running a stand-alone version of Framemaket 10.I try to convert a documentation with a lot of screenshots in it. Regardless of the settings on the Reference pages of the first document of the book, Framemaker converts all graphic files to *.gif, and these are downsized so much that they become illegible. I would like to have them converted to JPG, with little resolution loss, so they are still readable.
I think Robohelp is too expensive…

Itunes is copying/converting 500gb of music from .wma to .m4a files that are on an external drive onto my laptop which doesnt have enough room. how do i reroute these newly converted files somewhere with enough space for them?

itunes is copying/converting 500gb of music from .wma to .m4a files that are on an external drive onto my laptop which doesnt have enough room. how do i reroute these newly converted files somewhere with enough space for them?
new to itunes, used windows media player before that and always ripped music directly to an external hardrive and accessed it through the player. now that i downloaded itunes it is taking from the external hardrive and copying a second file for each song onto my lap top hard drive which does not have the capacity for all my music. as itunes converts music files i want them saved back onto my external drive or another location i have space for rather than the lap top. how do i change the setting to move the itunes media folder to another location. assuming that hitting copy and past and dropping it in a random location will cause a few errors.

When I have done this, all I did was network the two machines and copy the contents of the iTunes folder to the other machine, and that's it.
My understanding (which may not be 100% correct) is that the one file that is absolutely necessary is iTunes Library, and that the XML file is actually a copy auto-generated from the iTunes Library, appearing in a different format only for non-iTunes apps that take advantage of the iTunes Library data.
As far as I know, if you simply have the Library (database) file and all your original music files, iTunes on that computer should operate as it did on your old computer. I believe that the Album Artwork, Genius Data, and XML files can be regenerated from the Library file. Not sure about the Extras file.

Saving itunes files to external hard drive

Ok, hopefully someone can help me with this:
I have already saved my cd collection (nearly 8000 songs) onto an external hard drive that has over 90 gb using WMP. I am trying to convert the wma files to mp3's to put them on itunes so I can get them on my new ipod. I installed itunes onto the external harddrive hoping that when the files converted they would stay on the external harddive.
For whatever reason, when the files are converted, they go onto my C drive (which only has about 15 gb) so I can't get all of my files converted without filling up the disc.
What I need to know is how I can move the converted files over to my external harddrive and possibly change the prompt on itunes as to where to save those converted files while still keeping those files playable.
If what is mentioned above is possible, please let me know how I can do that. If not, do I have to reinstall itunes and what in specific should I do in the install process to get the files saved to where I want them?

Mark
I am having difficulties saving my music collection on to an external hard drive or on to ZIP disks. How do you do this? The help section on Itunes only talks about saving to a CD or DVD.
Any help would be appreiated.
Thanks

Why is one TIFF pixelated when saving .pages file as .doc?

Hi, when I save my Pages file as Word '.doc' format (using the standard 'save copy as' method, OR exporting as .doc) one of the high resolution TIFFs in the file always shows up pixelated, the other is sharp.
Do you know why one TIFF would be pixelated, and how to get them both showing sharp after saving the file as a Word .doc?
Both TIFFs are 300dpi CMYK, but are different sizes (the sharp one is smaller).
Thanks!

when I save my Pages file as Word '.doc' format (using the standard 'save copy as' method, OR exporting as .doc) one of the high resolution TIFFs in the file ... Both TIFFs are 300dpi CMYK, but are different sizes
The thing is that .DOC is the file format for versions of Microsoft Word which were developed to work with the Windows GDI Graphics Device Interface, the counterpart of QuickDraw in Mac OS 9.2 and lower.
Neither GDI nor QuickDraw are capable of colourant formats other than RGB. There are tried and true ways around this in prepress,
1. do not pick TIFF, JPEG, PICT or BMP file formats that are processed by GDI and QuickDraw, but pick a file format that is not processed by GDI and QuickDraw (EPS, PDF).
2. pick a colour managed path through GDI and QuickDraw so that CMYK tagged with a source ICC colour space is converted into some form of colour managed RGB which in turn can be converted back into some form of colour managed CMYK for whatever printing condition is to be chosen (whether by a third party driver installed in the OS or by other means).
There are other possibilities, as Peter mentioned, but transparency isn't supported in GDI and DOC any more than CMYK is supported. And to go back to the beginning, why in the world are you trying to work in CMYK when you in all likelihood have no knowledge of the ink limit, graybalance and paper for the intended printing condition? You should be working in ICC colour managed RGB.

Open .pdf file in Word & "Convert File" Box appears...Weird.

Using my MacBook Pro, I click on a PDF file to open in Microsoft Word & an angry box appears that says "Convert File."
In the box it says: Convert file from: then it lists various file types i.e., Text only, MS-DOS Text, Rich Text Format, HTML Document, Single File Web Page, Unicode Text and many more.
It is trying to open a PDF file in Microsoft Word.
I can't figure out how to change so it opens!!!
I made the fancy document myself in Microsoft Word and saved it in PDF format on the same computer.
I am a new Mac user....so if you tell me to go somewhere (well, not anywhere..on the computer!); please be specific and help me get there!
I've tried the right click trick, open with trick...no luck. That's not even an option!
This kindergarten teacher THANKs YOU oh so much!

I found this...But I don't understand it. I downloaded the latest versions...still can't view the PDF.
Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to edit it! I just want to VIEW IT~!
Overview
Adobe Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-ins before version 10.1.3 are incompatible with the Safari 5.1 browser that shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 and for 10.6. The Adobe Reader and Acrobat stand-alone applications are unaffected and Safari 5.1 renders PDF documents natively. However, the Adobe Reader and Acrobat browser plug-ins before 10.1.3 don't function as expected in LiveCycle and Acrobat workflows that require either plug-in to render PDF documents in Safari 5.1.
To the top
Affected customers
Any Adobe Reader, Acrobat, and LiveCycle customers who require the Adobe Reader or Acrobat plug-in to render PDF documents in a browser when only Safari 5.1 is present.
To the top
Workarounds
Options include the following:
Continue to use Safari 5.0.x and Mac OS X 10.6.
Upgrade to Adobe Reader or Acrobat version 10.1.3 or later.
Save the PDF file from Safari to the computer, and then open it directly in Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Use desktop virtualization technology such as Citrix to allow applications to run in a controlled environment where the Safari browser isn't upgraded to version 5.1.
To the top
Can customers use a different web browser like Chrome or Opera?
Acrobat Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-in are dependent on the WebKit WebPlugin API and capabilities that are unique to Safari. Other browsers like Chrome or Opera do not have the required functionality to run the plug-ins properly. As of the 10.1.3 release of Reader, Firefox running in 32-bit mode is now supported on Mac OS.
What is the impact on LiveCycle Workspace?
Since LiveCycle Workspace operates in the browser, PDF Forms in Workspace don't function in Safari 5.1 using Adobe Reader or Acrobat versions earlier than 10.1.3.
What is the impact on Adobe Solutions Accelerators?
Interactive Statements
In the primary use case for Interactive Statements, PDFs are delivered via email and can be opened with the stand-alone Adobe Reader or Acrobat. The secondary use case, where the statement is generated and displayed on a website, requires Adobe Reader or Acrobat to operate in-browser and doesn't function using Adobe Reader or Acrobat versions before 10.1.3.
Correspondence Management
Internal employees (the Case worker/Claims adjustor and the business user personas) require Adobe Reader and Acrobat to function in-browser and don't function with Safari 5.1 using Adobe Reader or Acrobat versions before 10.1.3. External user use cases do not require that the Adobe Reader or Acrobat operate in-browser, so they aren't affected by the Safari 5.1 browser.
Managed Review & Approval (MRA) and Integrated Content Review (ICR)
Since the MRA and ICR solutions require Workspace, these customer use cases can't function in the Safari 5.1 browser using Adobe Reader or Acrobat versions before 10.1.3.

ACR Delete bug? Converted files deleted with originals!

Open ACR with a set of raw files.
Convert and saw in the same location.
Mark some/all of the originals for deletion.
Click Done.
Both the originals and the converted files are deleted. And contrary to the delete function mouse over description, they are not moved to the trash but deleted completely!
This is not nice behavior.

Hi Thomas,
I just did an experiment. I copied some raw files to a new directory on an external hard drive.
Opened them in ACR.
Converted/saved.
Waited for the save queue to complete.
Confirmed the jpgs were created in explorer.
Marked the still selected RAW files for deletion.
Clicked done.
About half of the JPGs are deleted, this time to the recycle bin.
I tried with different number of files, and couldn't determine the pattern of which were deleted.
If after converting I exit ACR. Then reopen and select the RAWs for deletion, the JPGs are not touched.
So, more data, but not much more sense. ACR is deleting just-converted JPG's, but not all of them, when it deletes the RAWs. If you work from a CF card, either ACR or XP is deleting not moving to the recycle bin.

Convert file command in Graphic Converter.....help

OK, I'm a software engineer by trade, so I'm sure I'll get the hang of AS, but I have to admit, I'm having problems getting started.
I would like to create a simple drag/drop Applescript that will invoke GraphicConverter and perform a predefined file conversion process. Specifically I want to convert dropped images to the Electric Image "IMAGE" format.
I have looked at all of the sample scripts on numerou sites, and they use the "Save Window" method. I would like to use the "Convert File" method.
Any sample code that may help me with this? I've looked at the AS Dictionary for GC, but I'm not sure where to proceed. Here is the text from the dictionary:
convert file v : convert a file using a batch setting to the destination folder
convert file
using batch file specification : batch settings file
to folder file specification : destination folder
Thanks for any help!

How do I keep text in a converted file??

I want to convert a PDF file that I received as an email attachement. Can I convert it without saving it first. It is the type that will let you save a blank form but not the info typed in and I don't want to retype the entire form.

When I try to save it only the form is saved not the text that was typed in. I want to save the info so I don't have to retype it.Bob

Hi, Bob.Yes, CreatePDF will allow you to save a PDF file as a Word file, so you can then type and add text to that Word file. If you received it as an email attachment, it will be easiest to: 1) save it to your computer's desktop, 2) upload it to the CreatePDF service.Please let us know if you have additional questions or issues.Regards,Dave
