Is it possible to open a CS4 file in CS3 without any problems?

Or do CS4 files have any extra things that would cause problems if I tried to open it in CS3? If so, what could I do to solve this?

It's not possible to open a CS4 .indd file in CS3 at all.
You can open a .inx file exported from CS4, but text will probably flow a little differently and any unsupported new features that were used in the file will be lost. Your CS3 must be updated to the last patch.

Missing Plugins. Unable to open InDesign CS4 file, using CS3.

There are various updates InDesign CS3 available;
Adobe InDesign 5.0.2, 5.0.3, and 5.0.4.dmg etc, plus 'Digital Editions'.
Which one provides correct plugins to allow opening of a CS4 originated file in CS3?
Alternatively, is there a link which provides a utility which will automatically detect which
plugins you require to update from CS3>CS4?
Thanks very much.

My script in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4071273 will identify with what version of ID a file is created, which may be helpful at times. (Aside, you may be the first to try it with CS3 -- so it might not work.)
Nothing to be ashamed of on your side, really. That infernally misleading "upgrade your plugins" 'error' dialog has been confusing first-time users from the very first time some lazy programmer at Adobe opted for a quick shortcut in programming and be at home before rush hour.

OPENING CS4 FILES IN CS3

Is there any way to open up CS4 files in CS3? If not, would I be able to just cut and paste from CS4 to CS3? Thanks.

From CS4, export the file in INX format. Then you can open it in CS3 (assuming you have the most recent update of CS3). Of course, you lose anything you've created using CS4 features, so examine it carefully.

Opening CS4 file in CS3

I haven't been able to open a Premiere Pro CS4 file (.prproj) in Premiere Pro CS3. I get the message "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements." And CS4 will not save as a CS3 file (.prproj). Why, you ask, would I want to bring an edited CS4 file into CS3??? Because the FLVs produced by CS4 are "soft" (blurred) compared to FLV files produced in CS3 and I don't want to have to re-edit the production. Does anyone know if it's possible to get an edited file from CS4 into CS3? Thanks!

Backward compatibility is seldom possible, if ever. Closest that I have come is Encore CS3 Projects do Open in EncoreDVD 2.0, with few issues, but that is the ONLY instance that I have seen.
Now, one could Export from CS4 and then Import the resulting file in CS3 for the FLV Export. Maybe the Lagarith Lossless CODEC would help here?
Another way might be to take the CS4 Project into AE and then take that into CS3. Have not tried this, so there could be a few pit-falls and workarounds.
Sorry, but compatibility is usually one way - up and never down.
Good luck,
Hunt

Problems opening InDesign CS4 files in CS5

We have just upgraded to CS5 to take advantage of the tracked changes facility, and immediately encountered problems:
when opening CS4 files in CS5, we've noticed that formulae, created using charater styles, are not displaying properly. For example x = y / z, which would have the x and = signs dropped, the y underlined and the z on the next line, something like this (although much prettier than I can reproduce here):
x = y
z
in CS5, however, all gyphs in the formula are superimposed upon each other
we tried loading the character styles from our template document. However, that caused most of the content to dissapear!
we tried converting our template to CS5 and then loading the character styles from our template document. However, that also caused most of the content to dissapear!
Anybody got any clues?

If you are opening the CS4 files directly in CS5, try exporting CS4 files to IDML and opening the IDML files in CS5. It's worth a try if you haven't already found it doesn't help.

InDesign CS4 or CS5 will not open my CS4 file

Please help! I have a large file for a newsletter I have been working on that suddenley refuses to open. I have been using CS4 and didn't have any problems until all of the sudden I just get a box saying "cannot open "name of file". I tried in CS5 on my home computer, won't open. I created it at work in CS4. I have no idea what to do. I can open the file from 3 days ago on my back-up drive, but every back-up'ed filed between then and now gives me this error. The error just happened yeaterday. I have lost 3 full days of work. Can anybody help me? This is a 44 page newsletter.
Computer info:
Model Name:    Mac Pro
Model Identifier:    MacPro3,1
Processor Name:    Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:    3 GHz
Number Of Processors:    2
Total Number Of Cores:    8
L2 Cache (per processor):    12 MB
Memory:    4 GB
My computer at home is a mac dual core also and it didnt work there either.

Thanks. yes, I typically duplicate the file and delete everything I don't want. I have been using InDesign for years but I never got into using templates. I will look into them after this is finished. It just figures it would happen right at the worst time.
This is a new contract and this is the second newsletter I have ever done. I duplicated it from the first one I did last quarter, but the first one I duplicated from a copy that was given to me by the company that handled it before mine and I have no idea if they did that too of what platform/version they worked from.
I have already started fixing everything. I basically went back to my first draft version. I was ready to turn it over for final approval today. I luckly have a pdf that I exported on my last draft because I typically save drafts with _ver2 etc as PDF as I work and submit them for edits.
PS...I have another newsletter I do that I have been duplicating for years, it has probably been duplicated 10 or more times. I'm not working on that one now, but I am not duplicating it again. I never even thought about it getting messed up from this habit.

Open InDesign CS4 files in CS4 in Windows 7

Hi!
I want to open InDesign CS4 files in in InDesign CS4 but it opens with InDesign CS3. What can I do?
I also tried 'open with' by right clicking and select a default program but that didn't work for me. I also downloaded registry files from 'Windows 7 forum' to restore registry settings of 'open with', even that didn't work.
How can I manually change registry settings to open ID CS4 files in IDCS4?
Please help me!
I'm weird of manually dragging and droping inDesing files to inDesign program window.
Should I uninstall IDCS3 and reinstall it?
Thanks.

Did you install CS3 after CS4?
In any event, you might want to try this:

After pressing ok again am getting error

Go to Help > Configure Plugins... and make sure those listed in the first screen are listed and have a checkmark next to them to indicate they are active. That may fix the dictionary problem as well.
You may also need to reset the prefs. See Replace Your Preferences

Opening Camera Raw file in CS3 Bridge

I have CS3 Bridge and CS3 Dreamweaver instaled as well as Photoshop CS2.
I want to open Camera Raw files in CS3 Bridge. The Bridge Help file says:
"Select 'Edit Camera Raw Settings' in Bridge General Preferences to open Camera Raw dialog box in Bridge" (as opposed to opening in Photoshop.)
But my Bridge General Preferences has no such checkbox option. When I open a CR file in CS3 Bridge, the file opens in Photoshop CS2.
How do I get the file to open in CS3 Bridge.
Thanks, CMA

I had a problem with this previously and came up with the following:
If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF and hold down the shift key, Camera Raw will not be scheduled
If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image, the image will always schedule Camera Raw if the Bridge menu item Edit/Preference/Thumbnails has Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF checked (Bridge JPEG and TIFF Checked).
If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image and Bridge JPEG and TIFF is unchecked and the JPEG or TIFF image has previously been processed by Camera Raw, Camera Raw will be scheduled if Camera Raw Preferences dialog has Always open JPEG files with settings using Camera Raw or Always open TIFF files with settings using Camera Raw checked.
If I am in Bridge and double click a TIFF image and the TIFF file has layers, the TIFF file will not schedule Camera Raw.
In Photoshop Preferences (Edit/Preference/File Handling) there is a check box titled Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG files. I checked the check box and opened a JPEG image in Photoshop Camera Raw was scheduled. I clicked Open Image in ACR and then saved the image in Photoshop (JPEG saved in Photoshop after passing thru ACR). I then Unchecked the check box and opened the JPEG file Camera Raw was not scheduled.
The only action I see for the Photoshop File Handling check box is to either schedule or not to schedule JPEG images. I do not see any related action for TIFF files in Photoshop. My expectation is that TIFF files will open in Photoshop not ACR.

Hello. I have premiere elements 12, & tried to open new project, but nothing happened. All you see is a purple & black ribbon. I could open organizer without any problem! I've accepted all the windows 7 updated. I've even updated my graphics drivers.

Hello. I have premiere elements 12, and have tried to open a new project, but nothing happened. All you see is a purple and black ribbon, then nothing. I can open the organizer without any problem at all!
What I have done so far:
Accepted all windows 7 updates - essential and non esential
I've updated my graphics drivers
I've also deleted and reloaded Premiere Elements from the disc
I reloaded quick time and accepted the latest version
All have no affect.
My system is a windows 7 64 bit PC.
I also have plenty of hard drive space
Cyberlink PowerDirector 11 works fine.
PS - This seems a common complaint about Premiere Elements 12
Help!

Look at the issue with and without the antivirus disabled. If that does not help....
There is a likelihood that the program may not be properly activated. Please review the following for possible solution

Other possibilities include
a. Deleting the Settings file named Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file
Local Disc C

Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Options Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the whole path cited.
b. Do the uninstall, reinstall with a ccleaner (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) in between the uninstall and reinstall with the antivirus and firewalls turned Off.
Please review and consider. We will be watching for your progress.

Could you post an example of the filter message?
This article has more information on the filters built in to Firefox: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/ Firefox Phishing and Malware Protection].
It's possible that you also have a Firefox add-on, or external software, that is filtering what you see. However, we don't have enough information to help identify it yet. If you want to review a list of your add-ons, you can find them under: Help > Troubleshooting Information.

I have been using Final Cut pro v6 without any problems but recently had to reinstall. Since then I can't open and view all my Quicktime clips. They appear white in timeline which means you can hear audio but not view picture. Any tips?

I have been using Final Cut Pro without any problems - v6 - for ages. I recently had a hardware issue and had to reinstall the software. Since then I can't open most of my QT clips in my fcp project. They appear as white clips - audio only no pictures. There are a few QT clips you can view as regular thumbnail images and they play ok. What's the issue? I have fcp v6.0.6 and QT v7. Any thoughts on what to do next?

Yes I did software updates which updated fcp to 6.0.6 and QT to version 7.7. That's as far as updates have taken me although i have requested daily updates. I forgot to say the clips don't play in QT view either. Again sound but no pictures when they are played.

A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem.

A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem, and this magazine's app opens just fine on my wife's iPad.
I have deleted the app and reinstalled it from the Apple store and that makes no difference. I have also done a hard reboot on my iPad with no result.
Any thoughts about what might be wrong?

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
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 second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

Having the exact same problem with connecting ML and Snow Leopard machines to a Windows 8.1 machine. Oddly enough, connecting and copying to/from works perfectly from a Mavericks machine, despite the problems reported about Mavericks regarding the exact opposite. An old thread, but did you find a solution?

How to send image file through mail without any attachment

Plz tell me how to send image file through mail without any attachment ( i mean not converting that image into pdf or any format ) i want to send that text or image through mail .

Hi Sandeep,
I think you can setup the type of email in Shared office Settings in transaction S016.
There is an option called <Preset document classes>
You choose this pushbutton to branch to the maintenance screen for the document classes that are directly displayed to users in the Business Workplace for selection when they use the Create function. The name under which the documents are displayed can also be maintained.
