I'm wading through all of the issues I'm finding with Pagemaker/InDesign users, which is hard to fathom since Adobe bought Pagemaker years ago.Īdobe did buy Pagemaker, but sold it alongside InDesign for a while. Anything newer is actually in PDF format, even though the extension for a native Illustrator document remains. That's because all older Illustrator documents (if I remember correctly, anything before version 9), is written pretty much as plain text. Illustrator files come across in any number of different ways, most often as simple text files (and they open). Just asking for you to copy/paste the names of a couple of files that are appearing as Unix executables in this forum discussion. Not sure what you mean by 'post the names of a couple of them'. It should work if you select "Other" at the bottom of the list and navigate to an application that should know how to deal with that type of file.Ī comment to the TidBITS article mentions this utility that may be useful in restoring the old behavior: Might there be a program out there that can restore these files so that Adobe InDesign, or Illustrator can open them? Using 'Open With' doesn't work. I'm an graphic designer and my technical knowledge is limited. I've searched, but haven't been able to find an answer that I could understand. One way around that is to add an extension (which I'll guess those file names lack) to every file name. Now it depends strictly on the "extension" of each file name. The problem is that OS X no longer honors the "creator codes" that used to tell what application to use. All of them were either Pagemaker, Quark, or Illustrator files from about 1991 thru 1994.
I recently downloaded some old files that I'd saved to my iMac and many of them were converted to a 'Unix Executable File'.
