Converting CC InDesign to CS2

Does any one know how to convert a CC indesign file to CS2? or how to open a CC indesign file in CS2??? I created the file in CC2014 and ran out of trail time and now am working at my work station at work with CS2... any help?

Save as IDML from CC. Open in CS4 and export to INX. Open that in CS3 and export to INX again and open that in CS2.
Good luck…you’re going to need it.

How do I convert an InDesign file into a PDF file, it won't let me do it when I 'Save As'. Help??

I need help with converting an InDesign file into a PDF file.
I've tried looking into the program and seeing if i can do it, but it is not giving me the option.
I need to be able to do this for work purposes.
Please help.

Try Exporting. There are also number of useful Export PDF presets that come with design.
What do you want to do with the PDF?

I have to reformat my hard drive and reinstall all of my programs. What do I do about Creative Cloud? I also still need access to CS6 (I have a Marksware converter for InDesign to Quark).

I have to reformat my hard drive and reinstall all of my programs. What do I do about Creative Cloud? I also still need access to CS6 (I have a Marksware converter for InDesign to Quark).
This is a MacBook Pro 15" (Model number A1286) running Mavericks. Hard drive is fine but system software has been corrupted. I cannot simply restore from Time Machine as it will copy the corrupt system.
Will I have to find all of my serial numbers before I can launch any of the programs?
Thanks

For the Cloud, you log in to your paid Cloud account and download & install the same way you did the first time
Cloud Getting Started https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/topics/getting-started.html
If you have the perpetual license version of CS6 you install from your original media and use your serial number
If you have the version of CS6 that is installed via the cloud use this link

JS InDesign Server CS2 - Search and Replace

I am struggling to get a search and replace script to work on InDesign Server CS2.
This works on my Desktop CS2:
app.documents[0].search('xxx', false, false, 'yyy');
but not through InDesign Server CS2.
Can any one please help.
Thanks
Simon Kemp

Thanks for all of the replies.
This situation is that the company I work for has decided to consolidate some of the duties of our graphics departments. People in one location will be dummying documents for people at another location.
The paths to the images are UNC paths, which means they're pointing to different shares on different servers. This cannot be changed.
Also, the images at either location may not exist until days after the dumming process.
During the dummying process, the application that's used to build the pages places empty ad boxes (placeholders) on the page. The placeholders are text frames.
I don't understand in what way, but the paths to the images are hidden inside the InDesign file. From the users' standpoint, the placeholders simply display basic information about the ad (customer name, ad number, etc.) and hold the position for the images that will be placed later.
It is not using script labels to apply the paths.
So, this is why I describe the problem as needing to do a search and replace inside the InDesign file.
As I mentioned before, I know this is doable. I think I now see that the problem problem is figuring out how these hidden paths are being applied in the document. My only thought was script labels, but this is not the case...

Why does Acrobat drop i's when converting from InDesign?

I have Acrobat Professional 9 and InDesign CS4. Sometimes when converting an InDesign document to PDF, it will drop some i's. It doesn't drop all i's, just some. I can go back and do it again and the next time it won't. This is so frustrating. Has anyone ever encountered this problem?
Thanks!

OK, we're on common ground, that, although I've thrown two press runs into the garbage, I haven't researched beyond -
Lower case fi is a ligature; a separate glyph substituted for better spacing and appearance. In ID's preferences, you can toggle to show substituted glyphs. I cannot say if they are good or bad. From the Character Panel you can choose not to use ligatures.
I do not know if I had a corrupt font or an incompatability between ID and AA. As a workaround I either opened the document on a different system, or turned off ligs.
Notice how many errors I had in a directory based mostly in Southfield, for financial professionals.
This problem would be better addressed in the ID forum.

Pdf converter to indesign

hi everybody,
Is there any free pdf converter to Indesign project? i'm in search of pdf converters to indesign projects but i found some plugins that i must pay for them.
Thanks in advance.

If you need them, pay for them.
The people that develop plugins of this sort spend massive amount of time on them. For anyone stuck with a PDF that needs to be converted it’s well worth the price of the plugin.

Just one Quark file to convert to InDesign

I have just a single, simple 2 page Quark file I need to convert to InDesign. I don't remember which version of QuarkXpress it was, possible version 6. My old Mac that ran Quark is not working now, so I cannot check. But I have a copy of the file that I need converted to work on InDesign CC. A company called Markzware has a plug-in that can do the job, but paying $200 for it is too steep for just one file.
Is there a cheaper way? I'd be happy to pay, say, $40 to get this file converted. Thanks for any help!

I can open and down save it, then get it into ID for you. I have a few versions of Quark installed.
I have never gone this route and don't know the quality of conversion, however. Don't have markzware's stuff.
Gratis. No charge. Zip. Buy me a coffee sometime if we ever see each other.
Upload it to dropbox.com or your own server and PM me the link. I will be out golfing the remainder of the day and can see how well it goes later this evening.

Converting plug-in of CS2 into CS(About Scripting)

Hi,all.
About Converting pulg-in of CS2 into CS,
I have a problem in scripting process.
In CS2 pulg-in, I overrode
RepresentScriptProvider::AppendNthObject() and
RepresentScriptProvider::GetNumObjects().
But in CS, the arguments of the method of above are different from CS2,
and there is an error that says "cannot instantiate abstract class"
due to AppendNthObject() and GetNumObjects() were not found
when I compile the pug-in in CS.
Can someone tell me how I should handle these two functions?
BsetRegrade.
Miya.

Hi, Dirk.
I checked my source, but I couldn't find where is wrong.
My scripting process is very near to PersistentList sample in CS2.
For converting to CS, I changed .fr file and MyScriptProvider.cpp file.
In .fr file, I changed the following source.
Class
kMyListDataBoss,
kInvalidClass,
IID_IMYLISTDATA, kMyListDataPersistImpl,
IID_ISUBJECT, kCSubjectImpl,
IID_IPMPERSIST, kPMPersistImpl
IID_ISCRIPT, kMyScriptImpl,
IID_IAUTOMATIONREFCOUNT, kAutomationRefCountImpl,
#if kMajorVersionNumber >= 4
IID_IDOMELEMENT, kScriptDOMElementImpl,
IID_IXMLFRAGMENT, kINXNoContentFragmentImpl,
#else
IID_IDOMELEMENT, kDOMElementImpl,
IID_IXMLFRAGMENT, kXMLDocumentContentFragmentImpl,
#endif
#if kMajorVersionNumber >= 4
resource VersionedScriptElementInfo(1)
// Contexts
kFiredrakeScriptVersion, kCoreScriptManagerBoss,
kWildFS, k_Wild,
#else
resource ScriptElementInfo(1)
kCoreScriptManagerBoss, kWildFS, k_Wild,
#endif
//Elements
Suite
Object
kMyListDataObjectScriptElement,
c_MyListDataItem,
"My List data item",
"My List data item",
kMyListDataItem_CLSID,
c_MyListDataItems,
"My List data items",
"My List data items",
kMyListDataItems_CLSID,
kUniqueIDBasedObjectScriptElement,
kMySuiteScriptElement,
#if kMajorVersionNumber == 3
NoSampleScripts,
#endif
In MyScriptProvider.cpp, I changed the following methods declaration.
#if kMajorVersionNumber >= 4
int32 MyScriptProvider::GetNumObjects(IScriptEventData* data,
IScript* parent)
ErrorCode MyScriptProvider::AppendNthObject
IScriptEventData* data,
IScript* parent, int32 n,
ScriptList& objectList
#else
int32 MyScriptProvider::GetNumObjects(IScript* parent,
ScriptID objectType)
ErrorCode MyScriptProvider::AppendNthObject
IScript* parent,
ScriptID objectType, int32 n,
ScriptList& objectList
#endif
Are there any wrong with these codes?
Or Should I have to add another method?
BestRegard.
Miya.

Where is InDesign Server CS2 SDK?

Hello,
I downloaded the InDesign Server CS2 software through the Adobe On-line Licensing website, but it doesn't include the SDK.
Adobe's website does offer the CS3 Server SDK, but the CS2 Server SDK is not listed for download. Is there another place where I can download it from?
I'm currently not a member of the Adobe Partner Program.
Thanks.

There is no separate InDesign CS2 Server SDK. The InDesign CS2 SDK at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/sdk/ includes samples and documentation for InDesign Server. A separate Server SDK was added for CS3 because of the extra complexity of the Java/Corba features in CS3.

[Converted] appears when opening CS2 files

Our office uses InDesign CS2 v.4.0.5 on Windows XP Professional SP3, and we're having a problem with one computer. When we attempt to open any InDesign documents on it, the pages open as "FileName.indd @ 100% [Converted]" and then bring up a Save As... dialogue when we try to save them. It's acting like it's a different version of InDesign altogether, but it claims to be CS2 v.4.0.5 like everyone else's.
Someone used to use that computer daily, and it didn't have any problems then, and it hasn't been updated as far as I know. I'd avoid using it now, but we've got a test station set up there for an install of a program tied into InDesign.
Should we just reinstall and see if that fixes the problem, or is there something else going on?
Thanks!

The converted tag is only appended, as far as I know, when opening in a newer version, or possibly when opening a Pagemaker or Quark file (which I seldom to never do anymore). This should not happen when opening files from the same version but a different dot release update.
Presuming you are correct and that machine really i s running CS2, it sounds like you 've found some older files that haven't been updated yet, but here's waht you can do to find out. On Windows, oven the Help Menu and hold the Ctrl key while you click on About InDesign. On mack it's the Cmd key, and I can never remember if it's under the InDesign Menu or the Help menu, but you want the About ID item.
You should see a very detailed dialog with a complete version number including the build in teh upper left corner, lots of inforamtion about plugins and such, and in the lower left is a complete file save history, including versions and platforms and whtehr it was opened as a conversion from another app.

How to get rid of blank white page next to cover page when converting an indesign file into a pdf flip book

Hey Everyone,
I created an catalog using indesign and now I want to convert that into a pdf flip book. I have exported it as a SWF then changing the SWF back into a pdf. It works great however, I keep getting a blank white page next too my cover page, and I really don't want this. I find it very distracting and visually unappealing. Is there any way to get rid of this blank white page? Or any other suggestions on how to create a flip book out of an indesign file.

It sounds as if you're not checking the pagination properties of the chapter after the problem within the book file.
The book file settings always trump the component file's settings.
So this would mean that, if Chapter 3 is set in the book file to start on a Right page, the book enforces this by adding a blank page to Chapter 2.
You should be able to fix this by selecting all the component chapters in the book, right-clicking and setting all the pagination properties to start on Next Available page, but I don't have 7 on this system so I can't give you the exact key strokes.

Create hyperlinks in PDF file converted from Indesign

OK - i hope you can help me. I created a file on Indesign which I then converted to PDF. Customer wants words in the document Click Here to link to other PDF files.
I went to:
Tools>Content>Add or Edit Interactive Object> Link
I tried clicking on Link after highlighting the words Click On. Nothing appeared to happen and there was no way/place that I could see to enter the PDF file name.

Once you have the Link tool active you draw the link annotation "box" over the desired text string using the mouse cursor. You follow the dialog(s) to establish what Action you desire the link to perform.
You may want to review Link related information in Acrobat's LiveDocs online Help.

InDesign opens CS2 docs in CS3

Does anyone know of a way to get InDesign (or any other CS3 app) to stop defaulting to opening ALL documents in the most current version (CS3) when they were created in a previous version. I need to keep my legacy documents in the version they were created in and my tendency to double-click keeps causing files to open in the most current version.
ideas?

This was sort of covered recently.
Launch InD CS2 first. Launch InD CS3 second.
Double-clicking (or command-downArrowing) an InD doc will open CS2 files in CS2; will attempt to CS3 files in CS2, give cautions, and fail.
Same for Illy.
The discipline becomes dragging CS3 files to the CS3 icon in the dock. Removing .indd in "Get Info" will change a file's icon to the correct version.
Least it works here.
HTH. YMMV.
Sincerely,
rdd

How to convert an Indesign CC print file to ePub

I have an InDesign CC 2014 book created for print and now need to convert it to an ePub for iPad, Kindle etc. It has a number of large illustrations so would be best a fixed layout, not relfowable, ePub. Is it best to increase the font sizes to something like 16pt and are there any other tips for exporting to ePub?
Prompt help will be appreciated, this needs to be done fairly quickly.
Thanks.

If you want to produce your eBook quickly and easily produce it as a PDF. If you need to produce it as an ePub (fixed or variable) and as a mobi (for Kindle), you will need to repurpose your original inDesign file and learn how to do so, which will take some time.
There are a number of excellent tutorials on Lynda.com and books, such as those by Liz Castro, and, of course, help on the InDesign ePub forum with individual issues.
