I had saved an Illustrator file (.ai) to an external storage device as backup. I copied the file back to my PC and now when I open it, I do not see any of my previous artboards. However, the file size of my .ai file is the same.
Under the artboards panel, it only shows one plain artboard. But the actual file had 13 artbooards.
I have checked if the artboards were hidden but they weren't.
Please help me restore my artboards
OS: Windows 10 Pro

I have created an Excel file from delimted text file using awk in linux terminal transferring the same to windows. when opened it shows a pop-up "This file might be corrupted or unsafe.would you like to open?"But on tapping yes I could see data everything is fine as expected.How to avoid such pop-up.
I have tried to convert to .xlsx then I couldn't even see the data
I tried to zip and send then unzip same warning popsup
My guess as to what is going on is that the incoming Excel file is still basically a Linux file, but MS Office, being flexible, is allowing you to open it. For a one time fix, try the following steps from Windows Excel:
Open the Linux Excel file (some_file.xlsx)
Save as another file name (some_new_file.xlsx)
Close Excel
Delete some_file.xlsx and rename some_new_file.xlsx to some_file.xlsx
Now try opening the file again, and hopefully the error message will have gone away.
Have thoroughly googled this topic without any luck finding a workable solution. On my laptop I created a folder containing a collection of 280 PDF documents. Within that folder are two additional files created when I ran a "Full Text Index With Catalog" using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro: .LOG and .PDX files. Also within the folder is a sub-folder containing index.idx and index1.idx. The index1.idx contains all the results of the search index. The index works great when operating locally on my laptop.
My aim is to make this PDF collection available to the public. I uploaded the entire folder to my website and created a webpage with a link to the .PDX file expecting the search index to work on the website the way it works on my laptop. No such luck! Using both Firefox and Chrome yields pretty much the same results: the PDX file tries to open files on my computer rather than the set of files stored on the website. Here's what happens depending on whether the PDX is opened with Acrobat or Reader:
"You have chosen to open this PDX file. Open with ..." I selected Adobe Acrobat. This results in an error message:
"Search could not load the index
(C:\Users\Name\AppData\Local\Temp\library.pdx.
You may need to rebuild this index."
If I try to open the .PDX by navigating to the Adobe Reader software on my computer (AcrRd32.exe), I get the following:
"The operation you are trying to perform potentially requires read
access to your drives. Do you want to allow this operation?
How can I get this to work from the website? Alternatively, are there other options out there to achieve the same result?
How can I get this to work from the website?
You can't.
The index created by Acrobat is designed to work with the desktop versions of Acrobat and Reader. However, there are a number of search engines that index PDF files including Google but none of them will open and highlight the search terms like you see in Acrobat/Reader.
I'm trying to open this SVG file in Adobe Illustrator CC 2017 on a Mac:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kvh3svsuyleomxp/US_states.svg.zip?dl=1
The file is not that heavy (15M uncompressed) and opens quickly on most editors. However, Illustrator takes more than 10 minutes to open it and crashes often.
How can I debug/clean the file to make sure it does not contain problems?
I need icons for a site I'm having developed, and therefore I need .svg files. I have a .psd file that I save as a .ps file. I then attempt to use cloudconvert.org to convert the .ps file to .svg. The problem is that it fails to capture the whole image -- only leaving about 40% of the original. What can I do??
Assuming you have the Adobe suite, you can use Photoshop to File - > Export-> Paths to Illustrator,
save as a .ai file and then save it as an svg from illustrator without losing quality.
Hope this helps
EDIT: you can download a trial version of illustrator for free for 30 days form the adobe website
Can anyone help with the following :
How to measure the sizes of the different files inside an .xlsx file while it is open for write in my excel?
As you already noted with your [zip] tag, .xlsx is actually a zip file. Therefore, even if the file is opened you still access it read-only and get the information you want.
I usually use the great Total Commander (the shareware is fully functional): navigate to the file and press Ctrl-Shift-ArrowUp and in the opposite window a new tab will open. In this tab, you can browse the .xlsx (or any other MS Office ZIP for that matter) as a normal folder, i.e. seeing it contents/file sizes/etc.
