Dreamweaver will not open - just bounces a couple of times in dock.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 27 Nov 2013 10:31:59 GMT

Hi. I am running Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks and have just tried to install Dreamweaver CC for the 1st time but it just bounces in the dock a couple of times and then stops. (I have been running Indesign CC, Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC & CS4 for a while.). I think when I first installed Mavericks a window popped up asking to install Java because Illustrator CS4 needed it. I did it. I read some other websites that mentioned a problem with Java, so I deleted the Library/Java and System/Library/Java folders (deleted Dreamweaver 1st, repaired Permissions, restarted and reinstalled Dreamweaver again). It would still not launch or come up with an option to install java.

I installed Java again from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572, (Dreamweaver still didn’t launch) and then it let me install an update to java which came up automatically. Still didn’t launch.

See below for Java Version I am running.

#####:~ ######$ java -version

java version "1.6.0_65"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-462, mixed mode)

I hope someone can help. If you need any more information please let me know.

Thanks

Wanting Indesign CC Panel Previews to stay ON!

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 24 Jul 2013 15:19:06 GMT

Hi all. Is there a way to keep all the Indesign CC Panel Previews on as default?

EG, every time I use the Underline Options Panel, for the 1st time since application was reopened, I have to turn on the Preview Tick.

I think with Indesign CS5 and no other docs open, you could just open the panels and turn the tick on and it would stay on. I have tried this with CC and it doesn't work.

Thanks for any help.

Freehand - The Adobe Makeover.

Is it just me or do you find yourself banging your head on the desk every time you try and use Illustrator. I can't do anything without heading to the help files every 10 mins, then giving up and heading back to FreeHand.

Don't get me wrong, I am loving some Illustrator CS2 features like 3D Effects, Live Paint, Open Type support, Make Warp presets, Live Trace, better gradients and great consistency between the other Adobe CS2 apps, but why, oh why do I have to draw a selection with the Direct Selection tool to select a point (which selects all the objects under it). Why can't I just click on the point to move it and not move the whole shape. It is just complete madness. The way FreeHand Selects and Superselects is far superior in my view which works great with 'Paste Inside'. Illustrators 'Make Clipping Path' just freaks me out when I click on one and it shows me everything that is in there - I hid it for a reason!

I use the Bezigon tool - can't get used to the pen. I use Find and Replace all the time! Adjustable Curved Corners on a rectangle anyone! Multiple Pages! - as far as I am concerned this is an integral part of my design process. If I am designing a logo/letterhead for a client, I do it all in one document and let my design grow and adapt to what I think works without having to save loads of different versions. Different size pages in one document are also helpful too! FreeHand has got a load of passionate users for a reason.

If FreeHand was given an Adobe makeover (great CS3 support, excellent transparency, colour management, the Adobe type engine (OpenType, Font Grouping, Optical Kerning etc), Universal Binary, Better Gradients, 3D Effects, Live Paint, Live Trace and Make Warp presets) then I am absolutely positive that it would be worth there while. I know it would be a heck of a lot of work but it would be a shame to let that new FreeHand icon go to waste

Adobe, please help me.

Font Corruption?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 21:37:32 GMT

Hi. Is anyone else having problems with FreeHand MX crashing when opening some files.
Mac OS X 10.4.8 - PowerMac G5 2GB RAM
I have narrowed it down to files that use the fonts:
Myraid Pro (otf)
Helvetica Neue (.dfont)
I have been using MX since it came out with no problems until the last couple of months.

I can solve the problem by running MainMenu (and running: Clean Font Caches).
This only seems to last a few days before it needs to be run again.

A friend has just had the exact same problem.
