Adobe Creative Suites CS2 file compatibility between PC and MAC

We produce a 140 page catalog that was created by a third party for us on a MAC with Adobe CS2 using PhotoShope and InDesign.
I would like to make updates and changes to our catalog file using a PC with Adobe CS2 and send the file back to them for the more complicate work.
How could I do this? The people that created the catalog don't think it is possible and think it would not work. I know this is probably better suited for Adobe to answer but I wanted to obtain as much information from as many sources as possible.
Thanks,
SWFA

This is entirely possible; however, there are a few things you should be careful/aware of. Fonts are always a crossplatform (and even a cross-computer) issue. Even if you have the same opentype or true type fonts loaded on the PC as the Mac users had, there can be reflow problems which can drive an editor batty.
If you are just making copy/text revisions and correction, you might consider by InCopy, InDesign's sister copy editing software. That program allows you to open the designers' InDesign file and make adjustments to the text without altering their graphics and layout. From experience, this is very important!
Until you get that, you can make due opening the Indesign file and making changes. If you get any font subsitution prompts leave the original fonts alone. Things might look wonky, but the designer won't have to lay into the typography after every edit.
Indesign and Incopy rock. and the world needs to see more cross-platform integration.
Have fun.

After downloading & installing application of adobe creative suite cs2 version 6, screen of adobe photoshop cs2 is not opened by clicking icon . message is giving " ausba4.dll " was not present. Please guide me.?

I have downloaded & installed adobe creative suit cs2 version 6 but when I click the icon of adobe photoshop in desktop it is not opened & giving message " this application has failed to start because " ausba4.dll " was not found. reinstalling of the application may fix the problem " I have reinstall & opened many times but even then it is not opened. Please guide me accordingly.

I'd try disabling the Twain_32.8BA plugin in
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Plug-Ins\Import-Export
You can disable the plugin by putting an ~ (tilde) in front of the name or moving the plugin to your desktop.
Then try photoshop cs2 and see if you still get the error message.
I suspect the error has to do with your scanner driver, since photoshop cs2 does not have an ausba4.dll

Can anyone please help me I really need these programs for my work. Thank you!

hi tuggerose
i think it is bad new for you. if it's any consilation i went through the same thing when i loaded mountain lion when it first came out. i think the problem is that mountain lion is a pure 64bit operating system and the software you have is 32bit. earlier os's were able to emulate 32bit but the new system does not. the answer is new software. i did it and it cost me a load of money and much angst so your not alone.

Note: Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard & Adobe Creative Suite CS2

Hello,
here is an important note for Apple & Adobe business users who are using the Adobe Creative Suite CS2 package for their daily workflow.
http://www.adobe.com/go/leopardfaq
<--- quote from Adobe --->
Question: Will older versions of Adobe creative software—such as Creative Suite 2 and Macromedia Studio 8 software—support Mac OS X Leopard?
Answer (Adobe): While older Adobe applications may install and run on Mac OS X Leopard, they were designed, tested, and released to the public several years before this new operating system became available. You may, therefore, experience a variety of installation, stability, and reliability issues for which there is no resolution. Older versions of our creative software will not be updated to support Mac OS X Leopard. ...
<--- Quote from Adobe --->
In clear words. If an application of the Adobe Creative Suite CS2 package does not work properly under Mac OS X Leopard, you might notice several issues such as bugs, crashes and other incompatibility problems.
So, in the end this means:
" Dear Apple & Adobe user. Use Mac OS X 10.5 on your own risk. "
graphically & sincerely,
" Innovation is good. Too much innovation in a short period of time is becoming counterproductive. "

Thanks Tony, this helped me get some functionality out of InDesign CS2. However, is there a way to get it to keep all the palette options?

Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 design standards (Student and teacher licensing) download

I had purchase Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 design standards (Student and teacher licensing), but I lost the disk and still have my product code. I tried downloading from the available downloads but the product code i have doesn't work. Where can i find a CS5.5 design standard student and teacher licensing download?

There is no specific version designated for student/teacher versions, the software you get is the same as any other 'version'... the serial number is what designates the version status. You might have used the wrong product code or maybe you need to adjust your approach to the attempt to acquiring the download.
Make sure you have cookies enabled and clear your cache. If it continues to fail try using a different browser.
You can also download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

I purchased my Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium in 08 and have upgraded to Mac. It appears I am not able to use my old software as I have the Microsoft addition. What should I do now as I desperately need the program in my current situation?

Either run Windows on your Mac (Bootcamp, Parallels etc) and run CS3 in Windows on your Mac
or buy a new full version of CS6 for Mac

Install Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection at Work and Home?

Hello, I recently purchased Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master
Collection and I would like to use it at Work (95% of the time) and
also at home 5% of the time (to learn at night), Is this allowed as
long as I don't use it at the same time?

You are given 2 installs. Yes, you can put one at home, and
one at work.
If you need to then put a copy on say, a laptop, you can do
this as well
- but you'd need to uninstall/unregister one of the previous
installs.

I downloaded my Creative Suite 5.5 student teacher licensing software. I all loaded fine in my Mac but at the end of the download it gave me a message that I would need to check my e-mail for further steps in order to be able to use the software.

Is there something that I need to show as proof of being a student yet? I had to give my student id number in order to get the serial number. I did not use my student e-mail address though. If that is the issue I can supply that also. <Removed by Moderator>
Help. Please

File compatibility between cs3 and cs5

Hi,
What are the compatilibity issues between Photoshop CS3 and CS5? Can they be used together without much (if any) issues?
Thanks.

They can happily coexist on the same system, as long as you've got the disk space. Photoshop has always been like that.
You'll only be able to run one at a time, at any given instant, though.
Regarding file compatibility, I don't how much it's required to open a file in Photoshop CS3, but the newer version does offer a "Maximize Compatibility" preference setting for saving .psd files. On occasion I've opened .psd files in Photoshop CS3 saved by CS5 (using the aforementioned setting) and I haven't seen any issues at all.

Adobe Creative Suites Design Premium 5.5 PC och Mac?

Jag äger Adobe CS Design Premium 5.5 för PC och jag planerar att köpa Mac, kan jag använda samma mjukvara till Mac som till min PC?
Tacksam för svar, Tjarran.

Tjarran I am sorry but it is not possible to swap platforms for previous version software titles. You can find more details at Order product | Platform, language swap.
You would however qualify for upgrade pricing for the Creative Cloud which includes the current version of Adobe Creative software on Mac or Windows operating systems. You can find more details at Software and services for creative professionals | Adobe Creative Cloud.
