Weird CS4 error when saving eps files on a Mac: "...specified files already exist in the target location"

Hi There,
All 3 workstations in our studio are experiencing weird file behavior when re-saving eps files from Illustrator.
Basically Illustrator creates a new file in addition to the original and adds a "-01.eps" onto the file name. If you re-save your original, Illustrator brings up a dialogue box that states:
Some of the specified files already exist in the target location. The files marked below will be replaced:
filename.eps
filename-01.eps
We've been deleting the "-01.eps" files each time but it's becoming tedious. The behaviour occurs when re-saving an eps file to a server or the desktop.
All machines are new Quad-core MacPros running:
- Leopard 10.5.8
- Illustrator CS4 14.0.0
We've checked for Illustrator updates from within Illustrator but we seem to be running the latest version.
Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?
Any help or pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Thanks for the reply.
The error occurs when we save the document but if we choose save as, "Use Artboards" seems to be unchecked so not sure if this issue is related or not. Will re-save the document using save as then see if the issue persists.
Why do we still use eps?
Basically because we've found it to be much more compatible. Our entire logo library is in eps format (18 years worth) partly because it was previously the only format to use and partly because it allows account managers to send logos to clients, printers, TV stations etc and not involve the studio (saving out an eps version).
Although "Create PDF compatible file" is a good idea, we've encountered costly issues with colours and images - especially if the recipient is using old CS software, non-Adobe software or is using some kind of hardware RIP. We now just go with what we know works.
But I do find saving eps versions of everything to be a bit painful. In fact, I've always found Illustrator in general to be a bit painful when compared with Photoshop or AfterEffects. Illustrator seems like it's been developed by a different company some times!
Cheers, and thanks for the help.

Copying a PageItem to Another Document, When the Color Name Already Exists in the Target Document

(CS5 and ActionScript)
I am trying to copy a PageItem from Document A to Document B.
If the PageItem in Document A has a Color named "MyColor", and that Color already exists in Document B, then when I duplicate the PageItem from Document A to B, a new Color called "MyColor 2" is created in Document B.
What I wanted was for the PageItem to simply take on the deifintion of "MyColor" which was already in Document A.
If you perform this activity manually in the desktop UI, no duplicate color is created and the PageItem recieves de facto the original color values for the original "MyColor" in target document B.
Any ideas?

Sorry - mistake crept in. I meant:

Error when Saving Files ID=-39

We are using CS5 on iMac and get the following error when saving:
Can't save preview, but all other information was saved successfully. The file ended unexpectedly. Try using a backup copy. ID = -39
Generally after receiving this error the file is corrupt.
What can we do? Do you need more info? I am not sure what to do with this error.

Most probably that is your problem.
Try if saving to your hard disk solves your problem.

Error when saving an Outlook attachment eg. Word Doc after opening it.

we made the group policy change which was giving an error when saving from opened attached files.
But for 1 particular RDS user the error still seems to be occurring. i've tried the following,
1. recreating outlook.
2. recreating user profile.
3. deleted the group policy history from the registry.
4. tried removing outlook add-ins.
your help would be really appreciated.
kind regards

Hi,
What is the error? Does outlook crash? Would you please also detail the group policy change?
We can try cleaning out the Temporary Outlook Files folder to check the result.
We can refer to the following link for the detailed steps to locate and find the temp folder:
http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/securetemp.htm
Then we need to use OutlookTempCleaner to clean the folder:

Invalid image error when saving to pdf

I keep getting an invalid image error when saving a MS Publisher file as a pdf. Can anyone help with solving this issue?

You need to provide system and version info and explain how you actualyl produce the PDF. Unless you use the Acrobat PDF printer, I don't see how Adobe software would be involved in any of this, as recent versions of MS Office products can save PDFs natively...

HUH? Error when saving

We are getting a HUH? Error when saving certain files. Once this error shows up, it will save the document, but will a
lways come up when you resave. It only happens on some documents
We are on a network and share files, but everyone is working in CS4

I have been having this issue on one system. I get an "Unexpected Error cannot save file" when trying to save in any format.
This happens when saving across the network or locally.

We have been living with this problem since the beginning. We simply do not work on this computer in Illustrator for this reason.

Unable to display tree view; Error when parsing an XML document (Premature end of file.)

Hi folks,
I am using a cascaded mapping in my OM. I have a graphical mapping followed by the Java mapping. It is a flat file to IDOC mapping. Everything works fine in Dev but when I transport the same objects to QA, the Operation mapping though it doesn't fail in ESR testing tool, gives the following message and there is no output generated for the same payload which is successfully tested in DEV. Please advise on what could be the possible reasons.

kalyan,
There seems to be an invalid xml payload which causes this error in ESR not generating the tree view. Please find the similar error screenshot and rectify the payload.

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.

Font licensing error when Saving?

I use Illustrator CC and get a licensing error when saving designs with downloaded fonts.
The designs look fine on my computer and fine when I open them from my drop box account.
The problem comes when others open the design, the fonts change to Arial in most cases, which is causing design issues.
This is even happening when the design is saved as a PDF.
How do I solve this problem?
Can I get licenced fonts?
Where are they available?
Many thanks for reading.

You can have your other contacts download and install the same fonts
or
you can select all the text in your document and create outlines of the fonts, printers often ask for this option.
or
You can purcahse fonts from say Adobe and if I am not mistaken you can have those installed on five work stations, I do not know if you are allowed to consider a colleague as legal user of the fonts. And I do no recall if the number of seats for the fonts have changed but it used to be five seats. As I recall.
or
you can purcahse from My Fonts as well http://www.myfonts.com but again the other contacts ave to have the fonts installed as well check out how many seats for the fonts ypoouare entitled to and if that includes remoe sites for the seats.

Try a NVRAM reset, and then go through the monitor calibration again.
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
Release the keys.

Unresponsive Script Error when Saving Changed Set in Flickr Organizer

I'm getting an unresponsive script error when saving a changed set in the Flickr organizer.
The problem started when using Firefox 3.6.8 or maybe an earlier version. It persists in Firefox 3.6.12
I've noticed the error only appears in the Organizer and only when saving a changed set or saving after deleting a set.
It does indeed save the changed set correctly before crashing.
It is not intermittent and happens every time I perform this save.
The error does not occur in Chrome or Safari.

How to deal with "Error 1001. The specified service already exists" when install a service using installer package?

Hi everybody,
I wrote a "Class Library" project which is a service using Visual Stodio 2008 recently, then tried to use a Visual Studio 2008
Setup Project to install it.
Here is what I did for the "Class Library":
1. Finish the program.cs, Service.cs
2. Add Installer
3. Change the serviceInstaller so that "StartType" to be Aotumatic
4. Change the ServiceProcessInstaller2 so that "Account" to be LocalSystem
5.
6. Click in F5 (Start Debugging)
Here is what I did for the Setup Project:
1. Add the exe file built from the "Class Library" project to the Application Folder
2. On the Custom Action Editor, add the exe file from 1 to Install and Commit
3. Change the property of the project so that "RemovePreviousVersion" to be true
4. Click on F6(Build Solution)
Then I tried to run the msi file from the built of the Setup Project. Because I modified the two projects serveral times, I uninstalled the Class Library using "Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs" before I reinstall. Two things I notived:
1. After unstall, the registry was not cleaned up about the installed program
2. After several rounds install/uninstall, I got "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"
My questions are:
1. How to cleanup the registry when uninstall a program?
2. How to deal with the "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"?
3. Did I do anytbing wrong with the "Class Library" or the "Setup Project"?
Thanks a lot!
Helen

Hi Simon, not a problem!
I spent some more time on this and here are few more notes:
it is called Major Upgrade, when you are installing new version of the product upon a previous one and
MSI supports 2 strategies:
Strategy 1. Install a new version and uninstall previous one. (Install a new version right upon previously installed version (file merging is performed based on dll version number) and the delete previously
installed files)
Strategy 2. Uninstall previous version and install a new one (Delete all previous files and install from scratch new files.)
From the first look it seems that 1st strategy is weird and buggy. But, remember, MSI is great because it's transactional!!! That means that if once some of the phases (Installation, Uninstallation, Rollback, Comit) fails, your machine
will be reverted to the previous state and it'll be still functional.
Let's consider both strategies:
Consider you have installed product_v1.msi and you want to install product_v2.msi.
Strategy 1
1. MSI engine copies files from Product_v1 directory to TEMP directory
2. MSI engine merges files based on the assembly version (between v1 and v2)
3. Once merging is completed successfully it removes files in TEMP (RemoveExistingProducts action triggers it) and you got product_v2 installed, otherwise if it fails MSI engine revert machine to V1 and copies previous files from TEMP.
Strategy 2
1. MSI engine tottaly removes all files from v1.
2. MSI engine installs v2 files and if something goes wrong you cannot revert back, because RemoveExistingProducts allready worked out and MSI doesn't have files to revert machine back
I recommend to everybody to use Strategy 1 and leverage MSI transaction functionality. And you can set this strategies by defining sequence of RemoveExistingProducts action. See more info
here. So, I think it's not even a bug in VS as I said in the upper post it is default recommened behaviour.
AND, you got "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"
because if we follow Strategy 1 MSI engine tries to install Windows Service on top of the existing service and OF COURSE it fails MSI engine (StopServices, DeleteServices actions are executed before actual
installation and they look at ServiceControl table). In order to stop service first and delete them you have to fill ServiceContol table of the MSI (and then StopServices, DeleteServices actions will recognize what to they have to stop
and delete), like this:
*clip*clip*clip*
' see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa371634(v=vs.85).aspx for more info
' Update the Service Entry to stop and delete service while uninstalling
query = "INSERT INTO ServiceControl (ServiceControl, Name, Event, Arguments, Wait, Component_) VALUES ('MAD_Service', 'Service name', '160', '', '1', '"
+ componentName + "')"
Set view = database.OpenView(query)
: CheckError
view.Execute : CheckError
' Update the Service Entry to stop and delete service while installing
query = "INSERT INTO ServiceControl (ServiceControl, Name, Event, Arguments, Wait, Component_) VALUES ('MAD2_Service', 'Service name', '10', '', '1', '"
+ componentName + "')"
Set view = database.OpenView(query)
: CheckError
view.Execute : CheckError
*clip*clip*clip*
We can uninstall service first by following Strategy 2, but then we lose transactional support.
So, Simon did I encourage you to change your code a bit?:)
And, btw, if you don't want to change the strategy, please don't rely on SequenceID in MSI table, it can be change, you have to get the at the runtime.
Hope it will help to everybody!

Truly yours, Marat
