Can CS2 open CS3 files?

I will be creating CS3 files for a new client that has CS2. Can CS2 open CS3 files? I'm sure this has been asked many times here, but I can't find the answer in a search. Thank you.

Yes, unless the file contains anything created by a CS3 specific feature that does not exist in CS2.  They're both old versions, so I can't think of any off the top of my head.  Just remember to save with maximize compatibility checked.
A flattened file would never be a problem, of course.

  • Can I open CS3 files in Cs6

  • Can't open CS3 file

    Often can't open CS3 files (I'm working in CS3). Then when the sender resaves in new file, problem is fixed. Huh? Am I missing a plug-in? How do I figure out which plug-in I'm missing? Is this even the problem?

    It's not unusual to have this sort of error on a windows machine when trying to open files saved on a Mac and sent without compressing first. I often see two files show up in the attachments, both with the same name.
    One is the resource fork, which is useless to windows users and generates that kind of error if you try to open it, and the other is the data fork, which is what you need. You can usually tell the difference by the size. The big one is the one you want.

  • Can't open CS3 file with my CS2 bc of plug-ins...please advise

    I'm supposed to make revisions to a large book, client provided me with CS3 files that had been (supposedly) converted to open in CS2 but when I try to open it says first that I'm missing two plug-ins. When I click to proceed anyway, it lists a whole bunch of plug-in errors and says I can't open it unless I "Upgrade my plug-ins" or get the latest software.
    I plan to get CS4...but I can't do it yet. And this job needs to get done asap. Any suggestions?

    Are the files you are trying to open .indd or .inx? It sounds like they're still CS3 .indd files, and you need .inx to open in CS2 (plus you need to be fully patched to the last build).
    There are going to be issues with any features that were used in CS3 that don't exist in CS2, as well as probable changes to how lines wrap inside text frames due to differences in the text engines. This is not a good round-trip file sharing method unless further editing can all be done in CS2.

  • Can't open CS3 files in CS5

    Hi guys
    New laptop, newly purchased CS5.  I can't open Illustrator CS3 files - all I get is a message saying "An unknown problem has occured"...
    InDesign CS5 is fine opening InDesign CS3 files though.  I'm running Lion by the way...
    Anyone else got the same problem, and possibly a solution?
    Thanks

    CS3 files open in CS5 so that should not be an issue.
    If you have Acrobat pro, try using the open command on the .ai file, so we know if the pdf compatible part of the file has useful infomration for you, you could then do a save as using high qulaity settings and open, the .pdf in illustrator.
    You may have a corrupt font or image on your system. Disconnect to the images, by putting them all in a folder so the link is temporarily broken. In regards to fonts, turn off any extra fonts, disable font auto activation, and delete any .LST files if you are on a mac.
    On the mac if the filename has a "/"  the file will not open. But don't think hat is your problem as you would nto get the error you mentioned. But check your filename for illegal charcters noentheless.

  • Can't open CS3 File - Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions

    I created a number of files many months ago with the same version of CS3 (3.01) that I have now on a Windows XP OS. I have not changed it in any way.
    Now, when attrmpting to open one of the files I receive the following error message: Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions or upgrade to the latest version of InDesign
    I've searched the forum and found no postings by someone who cannot open files created by their own InDesign.
    Your help would be appreciated.

    Are you certain it's the same version? You'd need to have purchased new media for the PC.
    What Bob has said is entirely accurate. Do you still have the Mac? I'm not sure exactly how to find the version on Mac, but I suspect that "get info" will return at least a version, if not the build. On the PC you can open ID and click the Help menu, then hold down the Ctrl key and click "About InDesign" to get a full information dialog.
    If you can't confirm your version on the Mac, send me a private message and I'll give you an address where you can send one of the files as an attachment and I'll confirm the version for you.

  • Can I open psd file made in photoshop cs3 with photoshop ps2?

    Can I open psd file made in photoshop cs3 with photoshop ps2? Thanks in advance!

    Actually you can open a CS3 file with smart filters in CS2
    the only problem is CS2 will not understand the Smart filter and flatten it.
    If you leave the smart filtered object alone in CS2 save the file and it should still be a smart filtered object in CS3

  • Cannot Open 'CS3 file in CS2' - programmatically handle this dialog

    I am running a Visual Basic app that cycles through a collection of InDesign documents performing actions. We are using CS2 and the problem occurs when a CS3 document is encountered, which hangs the app. When opening the file manually the following error dialog is encountered:
    Cannot open "xxxx.indd". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the lastest version of Adobe InDesign.
    InDesign is launched by:
    appInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Scripting.CS2")
    User interaction is suppressed:
    appInDesign.ScriptPreferences.UserInteractionLevel = InDesign.idUserInteractionLevels.idNeverInteract
    Documents are opened by:
    docInDesign = appInDesign.Open(<FilePath>, False)
    How do you handle/identify this dialog/error without user interaction (I would like to skip the file)?
    Thanks in advance

    If you opening CS3 file in CS2 you alway get error message.
    I think best solution is check indesign document version before opening it.
    I have code for checking indesign version but it is Javascript code.
    But it will give you idea how you can check indesign version and skip that files.
    Here below is code:
    f = File.openDialog ('Select file', undefined, false);
    alert('Indesign version: '+getFileVersion(f));
    function getFileVersion(f){
    var IDVersion;
    f.open('r')
    f.seek(29, 0)
    IDversion = f.readch().charCodeAt(0);
    f.close();
    return (IDversion);

  • Illustrator CS2 can't open new file with network printer installed

    It seems that with my network printer set up I can't do much with Illustrator, I can't open new files and I can't print without opening up the printer setup menu in Windows.
    Photoshop CS btw, I can't open it at all.
    I take the network printer offline and everything is fine, except then I don't have a printer.
    Windows XP SP2
    Illustrator CS2 12.0.1
    Any fix for this?
    Thanks,
    David

    Creating a Dummy Generic printer fixed the issues of opening a new file in Illustrator and being able to open PS at all.
    However Illustrator is still taking several minutes to print something as simple as a test circle.
    The menu I was referring to is Printers & Faxes under control panel, though I realized later that may not have had anything to do with it. It may have simply been coincidental timing. I opened the P&F window about 10 minutes after hitting print and just after opening P&F the print window popped up. It simply may have been taking 10 minutes for the print window to open.
    With the network printer set up as the default printer if I try to open Photoshop a window opens but just stays a grey blank screen, no credits box, nothing. Then if after a few minutes I hit ctrl+alt+del it says Photoshop not responding.
    What I was doing to take the printer offline was to completely delete the network printer from Printers & Faxes.
    I'll see if they have an updated set of drivers, but I think I have the latest ones, as I updated them a month or so ago.
    Thanks,
    David

  • Help! I can't open my files in ImageReady from Adobe Bridge

    I have Photoshop CS2. I recently wiped my hard drive and reinstalled the original factory software, and then reinstalled Photoshop CS2, and it has been a little glitchy ever since then. For example, I arrange my files in Adobe Bridge, and then when I go back to them later they are not in the order I put them in. The program is putting the .BridgeSort file in the folder, so that is not the problem. When I restart the computer, if the last folder I had open in Bridge was sorted, it will still be sorted when I reopen Bridge, but if I open another folder that I already sorted it reverts back to the way it was before I sorted it.
    Also, I can't open any files in Adobe ImageReady from Adobe Bridge. Before I wiped my computer, when I wanted to create a slideshow in ImageReady, I just selcted the files I wanted to open and then right-clicked and chose "open in / Image Ready", but now that doesn't even come up as an option. I have already tried uninstalling photoshop and reinstalling it but that didn't fix the problem.

    Try something like this:
    1. Use window explorer to find a jpeg on your computer
    2  Right click on that jpeg file and go to Open With>Choose Program
    3. If the box that says:Always use the selected program to open this kind of file
        is checked, uncheck it and then press the Browse button.
    4. Navigate to the location of the cs2 ImageReady program and double click on it, then
        press ok in the dialog and the jpeg should open in ImageReady.
    5. Close ImageReady and right click on the jpeg and hopefully ImageReady will be
        listed as a choice.
    Hopefully cs2 bridge will also show ImageReady as a choice for jpegs.
