Macintosh System Error(-39)

Posted: 06-03-2004, 01:01 PM
We moved some files around our pc network. After doing so all my eps & ai files are now generic files. When I am opening the Illustrator ai and eps I get a message
'Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties.There was a Macintosh System Error (-39).'

I cannot open the file.

I am on a Mac OS 10.2.8
Illustrator 10
The files could have been created in anything from Illustrator 6-10.

I have tried deleting my preference folder from the user/library/preferences

Didn't help.

Hi Jennifer,

Are the files you are opening on your local hard drive or on a network drive? If on a network drive, try copying the files to your local hard drive before opening them. Also you may want to check the file size.

I *think* error -39's usually point to corrupt files, but it would be strange for ALL your files to have become damaged just by moving them from one server to another.

Some times the answer is so obvious you forget to look there.

Thank you, that worked.
