CS5 to CS3

I'm a designer and someone sent me a CS5 file, I only have CS3.. Does anyone know how I could get this file to work in my version? Any suggestions are welcome!

Postnet114,
You need to look over the converted files VERY carefully. There's a strong probability on long docs that at least one chapter has gone into overset or you will have some other weirdness due to keep options that have been applied as part of the styles and reflow casued by differences in the text engines.

Opening CS5 in CS3 outlines fonts COOP Heavy

Am preparing to update an agency from CS3 to CS5.5. Finding that saving a Illustrator CS5.1 files down to CS3 outlines one of the fonts that had appearance attributes(all from the top half Ilustrator Effects). They own the font, and I tried with both PDF On and Off(notice blue bubbles at bottom) and got outlined font for Coop Heavy.
As a test I set Coop Heavy all by itself on a fresh page, and it went over.
Anyone know how I can save CS5 to CS3 and not get outlined fonts? Any tips for updating an agency to CS5.1 anyone has found?

I progressivley dummied down the logo, and it appears that offset path is one thing that causes CS5 to CS3 to outline type.
Anyone else out there opening CS5 files in CS4 or 3 and finding loss of editablility in files, or a solution for this? Prepress houses are always asking us to save down to CS3, so must be people who know more about this. When you place CS5 files in CS3 seems all font gets oultined. Anyone find any way to stop fonts getting outlined? Before I start rolling out CS5, I need to develop a plan to cause minimum interruption to workflow.

Looking to upgrade to CS5 from CS3

HI everyone! I'm looking to upgrade to CS5 from CS3 Master Collection. Is there an easy way of doing this? I have zero interest in anything cloud related or CS6. thanks so much in advance!

As said by Brett already, you can no longer get CS5 or below from Adobe.
If by any chance, you make your mind to get CS6, Here is where you can get it. Creative Suite 6

Work flow issue (CS5 vs CS3)

We recently upgraded to CS5 from CS3.
After a new Incopy CS5 document is flowed in to InDesign CS5 we are having an issue opening that document again in InCopy CS5. When double clicking on it on the server the default program to open it is InCopy CS3 even though no CS3 program has ever touched the document.
Is there a default setting that needs to be changed to make the default program CS5 Incopy?
Thanks.

Try clicking on the the little hand icon in the top left hand corner of the CS5 Curves dialog - then you get an eyedropper for your cursor and as you run this over the image you will see the little ball move up and down the diagonal line in curves. To place a point on the composite RGB curve, simply click. To place a point on all 3 R,G, and B curves you Ctrl+Shift+click.

INDD CS5 to CS3

I've read the post on how to save from CS5 to CS4 and I've saved the file to a ".idml" file but cannot open it in CS3. We upgraded from CS3 directly to CS5, any suggestions on saving from CS5 to CS3? - Thanks

You're SOL.
A hack to get from CS4 to CS2 was published http://indesignsecrets.com/double-downsave.php
I'd look into getting a version of CS4 really quick, but I would not expect it is available as CS5 has been released. A call to Adobe may be the only recourse. (Pack a lunch for that call)
Several persons here would save a CS5 inx or inml to CS4 and supply a CS4 inx for CS3, but that is going to be laborsome if you need to keep many files CS3 compatible.
From here forth, never overwrite your CS3 files, rename them soon, apply a write only attribute, whatever it takes if you will need compatibility.

CS5 vs CS3 with XML

We're on the cusp of switching from CS3 to CS5 and just received a request to do layout from XML files.
I know very little of XML and how to deal with it in InD and will be doing a crash course over the next two weeks, I'm also far more familiar with CS3 both (layout and scripting) than CS5.
Are there any worth while advantages to working with the XML in CS5 over CS3?
Many thanks,
Ken

We have an existing set of sample pages for a series. The client is trying to find the best way to get the back list of the series to the web as well as prepared for traditional book printing and are testing some things, one of which is having the content created and tagged in XML and trying to use that for both getting the product to the web and prepared in InDesign for printing.
So, we have an existing InDesign file that should have all the styles to lay the books out and newly created XML files that we have to import into InDesign.
I'm going to try looking in to the evaluateXPathExpression and try to determine how helpful it might be. Maybe that will make it worth moving to CS5 ASAP.
The looking I've done over the last couple of days has pretty much confirmed your initial assessment of a "world of hurt." Oy.
Thanks,
Ken

Photoshop CS5 u.CS3 über die Cloud?

Ich habe die Photoshop Cloud. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit frühere PS Versionen (cs 3 und cs 5) auch zu laden? Oder müsste ich mir die kaufen? Ich brauche die nur um anderen zu helfen. Also ich selber arbeite nur mit CC bzw. CC 2014.
MfG

Danke für ihre Antwort.
Wie ich CS6 in der Cloud laden kann, weiß ich. Ich wollte wissen, ob man mit der Cloud auch CS5 bzw CS3 laden kann. Wenn ich auf die Seite von CS5 gehe, steht da, dass man eine Seriennummer braucht, aber ich habe CS5 nie gekauft, also auch keine Seriennummer. Da ich CS6 über meine Cloud laden kann, ohne estra etwas bezahlen zu müssen, dachte ich. Es geht vielleicht auch mei älteren Versionen. Es wäre eine Erleichterung für mich.

Troubleshoot windows 7-64 and OL CS5 and CS3

I have problems with OL and Windows 7 Ultimate 64. I installed OL Cs5 and when I try to record a HDV signal, nothing happens and the program freezes. Prior to pressing the record button, the scopes and monitor show the camera signal as expected. When I feed a DV signal, the program records fine. When I install OL CS3 om the same computer, I can record the HDV signal, but the monitor does not show the HDV signal. The monitor is just black. My computer is a Dell xps M1350 with core 2 duo, 2.50 Ghz, 4 Gb ram. I have disabled all start-up and Microsoft services, and problem continues. Most recent updates for video card installed. Any idea how to troubleshoot this??

Hmm. Do I understand correctly that you see Vidblaster in the Field Monitor panel's tab, along with your HDV camera?
If so, then that's likely the cause of the problems in OL CS5. Basically, OnLocation should recognize only FireWire (IEEE 1394) devices. If any other devices are showing in that dropdown list, they are likely to interfere with OnLocation behaving correctly. Until now, we were aware only of webcams showing up among the list of devices. It sounds like you've discovered another case: Vidblaster.

How do I get all my files to open up in Cs5 not Cs3? File plugin problem

Keep getting error messages about plug-ins when trying to open up an InDesign file that wants to open up in Cs3 When I thought it should be opened up with Cs5. It says that the worldready.rpln, dynamicdocuments.rpln, and conditonaltext.rpln are missing. When I say just ignore then it gives me a really long list of things it is missing. It says things like assignments.rpln, text.rpln, spread.rpln, master page.rpln, image.rpln, text attribbutes.rpn, generic page items.rpn. I can't seem to change what opens the program either. I got the programs to open up in Cs5 if I went to open and then browse but then it couldn't recognize any of my fonts and put them to defaults. I just had reinstalled everything to a new computer after my old computer crashed and I wondered if perhaps that had did something. Are there some type of setttings or plugs in I need to download or change?

To change the program that .indd files default to when opened in OSX, right click on the .indd file > Open With > Other.
Then navigate to the version of InDesign that you want to open them with (I have CS6 installed but its the same for CS5). Make sure you have "Always Open With" selected.

Upgrade to Photoshop CS5 from CS3/CS2/6.0

I purchased Adobe Photoshop 6.0, then upgraded to CS2, then CS3.
Can I upgrade to CS5?
If so, can I install the trial and later activate it once I have the key?
Since the key is an upgrade key, what is it going to ask for to verify the fact that the CS3 version (which was an upgrade) was based on a full retail version?
The reason for all these questions is that I'm going to be upgrading from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit. I'd like to just install Photoshop CS5 and try it out, then order the upgrade to complete the install later. I'm concerned about an upgrade not being appropriate (1) and a need to install Photoshop CS3 completely and then run the update to CS5. If I have to do that, I may just install CS3 after my Windows upgrade.
Thanks in advance for your responses. While I did see some questions about upgrading, I missed this exact scenario if it was previously posted.

The upgrade process is really quite straightforward these days - even on a new box which has never previously had Adobe software installed.
Upgrades are as good as full versions once installed. When installing upgrades, all that matters is that you have a serial number to an earlier qualifying version handy - Adobe has given up tracing this all the way back to your full version which could be up to 20 years ago. Upgrade serial numbers can only be verified by serial numbers up to 3 versions back anyway so Photoshop CS does not qualify for a CS5 upgrade.
There's no need to install older versions on a new computer before installing the CS5 upgrade version. It's actually the full code on the disk regardless of whether you purchased a full version or an upgrade - the serial number tells the installer if you've bought an upgrade or full version license.
When you enter your upgrade serial number for CS5, the installer will ask you to enter an earlier qualifying serial number (full or upgrade does not matter). I've successfully completed this exact scenario myself several times.
The only caveat to the above is that there is a world of difference in licensing terms (and serial numbers) between a suite and a standalone version. If you install a CS5 suite trial then want to keep just the Photoshop component (and enter its serial number), you'll have to uninstall the entire suite first then install the upgrade version of standalone Photoshop CS5. Then enter your CS5 serial number then verify by entering your CS3 serial number.

Just upgraded to PS CS5 from CS3 and LR will not recognize CS5 as external editor

I just upgraded from PS CS3 to CS5 then uninstalled CS3. LR 2.7 is not recognizing PS (CS5) as the default external editor and I don't get the "edit as smart object in PS", "Open as layers in Photoshop", etc… options when I right-click an image and select "edit in" as they are now greyed out. I've tried to repair LR and reinstall but nothing makes it recognize PS CS5 as the default external editor. Any ideas? Thx in advance.

I ended up reinstalling CS5 and that solved the problem with one exception. It is now the default external editor and I have the option to export to PS as a smart object - However, I do not have the options to export to PS in layers or export to PS as Photomerge or Export to PS as HDR. I did have these options with CS3.

I just upgraded to CS5 from CS3, the ftp worked for me in CS3, but not in CS5

I believe the settings are the same but when I transfer a file up to the site, it appears to get truncated. The web page appears blank, and when I use the browser to view source there is barely 1 line of html.
When I transfer the same file using Windows Explorer logged into the ftp site, the file transfers and the web page displays properly. What did I miss in the new confuration?

Windows explorer? Really? Plenty of other FTP solutions out there.
Anyways, there is a new setting in CS5 but it should be disabled if the site was defined back in CS3. Manage your site and edit the FTP server information. There is an arrow for More Options and the new option is for FTP Performance Optimization. Try disabling that and see if you are able to transfer files again. If it is not, you should click on Site->Advanced->FTP Log and consult with your host the result of the log.

PhotoShop Cs5 to Cs3 Brush issue

Hello.
Previously I was using PhotoShop CS5 for my personal art design, however i had to switch back to CS3 for various reasons. Having devoted a lot of time and care into my CS5, I saved up my
swatches, styles, brushes, etc..... so I wouldn't lose all my work. I spaced, however, and saved the CS5 brushes with the rest of my generic brushes in the process of a mass save. I no longer have access to CS5, and when I attempt to load the .abr into my CS3, it gives an error.
"Could not load the brushes "D:\etc\etc\etc\Brush Set 1.abr" because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop."
Is there anyway to get in there and delete those specific brushes, recover the ones I'm after......or.....anything?
Thanks

Call Customer Service. You will need Photoshop CS3 media as a start as Adobe no longer provides media for older versions.

Chris Meyer - Creating Motion Graphics CS5 vs CS3

I am looking at purchasing the Chris Meyer "Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects" book. The 2007 edition for CS3 is significantly cheaper than the 2010 edition for CS5. Since the CS5 version is already out of date, would I be missing any significant information if I purchased the 2007 version for CS3? What are the differences between CS3 and CS5 in After Effects? Are there any other more current books that are as comprehensive, or does anyone know if a more recent edition of the Meyer book will be coming out anytime soon?
Thank you!

The hardest part of learning motion graphics and compositing is the art not the software. While there are new and improved tools in recent versions, everything you will be learning applies to CC 2014. If you go through the entire book and you study and learn you'll be ahead of many pros that work in productions houses across this country because Chris and Trish are just about the best at teaching this kind of stuff.
