Comparsion of Adobe InDesign CC and Adobe InDesign CS6

Is Adobe InDesign CC worth paying the yearly subscription cost or should I continue with Adobe InDesign CS6 which has a perpetual license?

Let's put it this way: if you cannot spend the money for any reason, it's better to have something then nothing. CS6 is running well, but, of course, you're missing the latest developments. As long as you stay in the "print" area, I don't think it's absolutely necessary to change. Keep in mind though, that people with CC cannot send you 'native" file (idml is still possible). If you're into 'epub-ing", then I would consider a subscription for CC 2014.

    If you didn't have the opportunity to deactivate the installations then you should contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations for all the serial numbers involved.

  • Can we get Adobe InDesign CS6 and use CS5?

    Hi There,
    We currently have 4 license of InDesign CS5 that comes with Adobe Creative Suite CS5.
    Also an Adobe Product Premium CS5.5. We now need to get an extra license for InDesign CS5 for the Adobe Product Premium CS5.5 machine.
    I noticed Adobe now sells CS6 versions only. Can we get Adobe InDesign Cs6 and have down grade right to use InDesign CS5?
    Best Regards/Allen Chen

    But that means buying cloud subscriptions for all seats so everyone is on the same version rather than buying one seat to downgrade. I agree that inthe long run this is probably a better solution, but it may cost more up front.

  • Adobe Indesign CC 9.1 and Adobe Indesign CS6

    Hello,
    I am really new to indesign and bought Adobe Indesign CS6 for the office. I took a course on indesin and made a SWEET template for my work newsletter and was beyond thrilled to open it up at work.
    Well low and behold I go to open it and it says that because I saved in on the Indesign CC 9.1 I can't! So, what do I do?? Do I need to buy something? Download something?
    Please, any suggestion on what to do is great appreciated. I need this template badly
    Thank you

    Do I have to buy Indesign CC9.1 or is it a download? I reall appreciate your time, I keep trying to find where to buy it but am not finding much...

  • Brand new iMac. Indesign CS6 will not work at all. It will not reinstall. Tried to contact adobe and I get nowhere.

    I can't reinstall from the adobe site. I get an installation failed message. I can't use the version that I transferred from my old iMac. I am missing plug-ins. Something called JBX and LILO.Indesing.Plugin. I can't find any of these on the web or on the adobe site. I've called apple they say they are third party things and can't help me. Other users have had similar issues but I can't find out how they solved them. I am in a panic. I have a ton of work to do and can't get my swell new computer to run my software. RUNNING CS6

  • Adobe Indesign CS6(8.0) there is no Paragraph and Character directions

    Hi, I have Adobe Indesign CS6(8.0) Windows 7. Where can I see the Paragraph and Character directions? I followed tutorials on the net but I can't find the paragraph and character directions. It's not like it's grayed, but the 2 options weren't there. Thanks!

    We are using InDesign CS6 version 8.1.
    When I refer to the "old" libraries I am referring to InDesign libraries that were created using InDesign CS2 back in 2006, and "new" libraries are libraries created using InDesign CS6 in 2014.
    I just found out that the library assets in the "new" libraries were created by opening a document and dragging items from the Structure panel onto the Library panel.
    This is why the script was having problems placing the asset on to a document and the root of the problem. This should not have been done.
    I just created a new library and added a library asset by opening a document with pageitems on it and clicking on the New Library button on the Library Panel. I then ran my script and everything worked.
    Sorry for the confusion. There seems to have been some misunderstanding within our team.
    Nevertheless it was a great learning experience.  Thanks for your help.

  • Hi Everyone, Just wanted to seek your assistance. We're using and Adobe InDesign CS6. The XMedia UI Plugin for it, will it allow you to open .xml files in InDesign or that plugin is just used for Importing XML? Thanks in advance.

  • Adobe Installers didn't uninstall InDesign CS6's Plug-Ins and Utilities

    After running "Uninstall Adobe InDesign CS6" in Adobe Installers folder, I noticed that "Adobe InDesign CS6" folder still remains (there are 2 folders inside: Plug-Ins and Utilites) in Application folder. Is it okay to move the remaining folders to trash? What would be the best practice for clean removal?

    After Uninstalling the Adobe Indesign from Adobe Indesign uninstaller if some of the files and folders are there in your computer then yes you can move them in trash.

  • Adobe released new updates of InDesign CS6 v8, CC v9 and InCopy CS6

    Hello,
    now it seems obviously, that Adobe released today(?) new versions of:
    InDesign CS6 => CS6 v8.1.0
    InDesign CS6 8.1.0 Release Notes
    InDesign CC v9.2.2 => CC v9.3.0
    InDesign Help | InDesign CC 9.3.0 Release Notes
    InDesign InCopy CS6 => InCopy CS6 v8.1.0
    InCopy Help | InCopy CS6 8.1.0 Release Notes
    Currently that's all I can find about it…

    Interesting that they're still fixing CS6. But are all the CS6 bug-fixes
    only for CC subscribers, or only the auto-opening newer file versions
    feature?
    And it's strange to me that they're still updating InDesignCC! Anyone
    who has CC has a CC-subscription, so they have CC2014.1. So what do we
    need an update to CC for?!

    I cannot imagine any problems in doing so, but you can keep your cs6 installation anyway.

  • Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.13 documents and InDesign CS6 looks very blurry on retina screen

    I received an upgrade to my Adobe creative suite 5.5 to CS6.
    On my macbook pro retina late 2013 15 inch screen, I currently have Adobe CS6 Design Premium, among these apps, I got Adobe acrobat pro, and recently updated my Acrobat Pro to 10.1.13. However, documents in this app have very blurry text.
    I also have adobe InDesingn CS6 version 8.0, and text looks blurry on this as well.
    are there any updates to these apps so they look ok on my retina screen? or does CS6 not support retina?

    Hi missartist,
    Could you please try this out:
    Open Acrobat and go to "Edit -> Preferences -> Page Display"
    Under Smooth Text label, please select 'For Laptop/LCD screens' and click ok.
    Now, check if the text still looks blurry.
    Let me know.

  • ID Install -  Can't open the application Adobe InDesign CS6 because it may be damaged or incomplete.

    Trying to install inDesign CS6 on my imac. But everytime I try at end of install I either get a problem with install error, or if it does show up in my applications folder, it has a "no" sign and when clicked I get:
    "You can't open the application Adobe InDesign CS6 because it may be damaged or incomplete."
    Need help, Im a freelance desktop publisher and need this to work!

    After I deleted Adobe File Manager because it was always popping up annoyingly, I got a similar "damaged application - reinstall" message. However, InDesign didn't seem to be affected. Nevertheless, I reinstalled AFM, and fixed the problem, except for the annoying appearances of AFM.
    If it's not present on your system, you can search Google for "download adobe application manager mac" without quotes, to download and install it.

  • Adobe Indesign CS6 Install Error

    Hi,
    I installed the CS6 bundle, but had errors with Fireworks (don't really use this) and InDesign (which I need). Installing on a Windows 7 64 bit system with network/system administrator credentials, I got:
    ----------- Payload: Adobe InDesign CS6 Application Base Files 8.0.0.0 {CFB770D7-8D43-1014-922B-CC2715FADE3F} -----------

    I'm wondering if the problem is with Adobe, Windows or the security permissions/settings, etc?!
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Hi Steve.W,
    Thanks for reaching out to us .
    As per the logs it looks like that certain processes are running the background which is causing the installation to fail . Lets do two things here,
    1) Restart the machine and try again.
    2) Check if you have admin priveldges on the machine.
    Please do let us know if this works for you or not.
    Cheers,
