CS5 to CS4 converter

I am a user of Illustrator CS4 and I have been sent a CS5 file. Is there any online converter tool that I can use to downsave the file in CS4 in order to work with it?

No, there isn't. Best method would be to ask for a CS4 file. If that's not possbile you could create a new file and place the CS5 file. This only works if it was saved with PDF compatibility and it will flatten all "live" content.

Saving down from CS5 to CS4 cross-platform

Working on a PC, I am saving down from CS5 to CS4, exporting as an idml. The client is using CS4 on a MAC. When the file opens, the Master Page content is superimposing over the content of the page. Help!

Hi Bob and thank you for your help.
The answer to your question is yes. But now I have more information:
- I opened the idml file on my PC and I see the same thing as my client who is using a MAC.
- It occurred to me that my client created the original ind file himself (on a MAC) then sent it to me to work on.
- BUT my client's ind file was a originally a Quark file converted to InDesign CS4.
- I just completed another project for the client but I created it from scratch in CS5 then saved as an idml file so his MAC could read it. He had no problem with the idml file.

CS5 to CS4

Hi all, we have a CS4 license and we downloaded the CS5 trial to see if it was worth upgrading.We can't open any files we've created in CS5 in CS4, and are getting a message stating that we need to update a ton of plug-ins. This just seems ridiculous. We tried to see if there was a different way to save the files in CS5 but no luck. How do we do this? Have we lost all of this work now?

InDesign can open native .indd files from the any version up to the one you are using, but not a later version. To open CS5 files in CS4 you must EXPORT to .idml and open that in CS4. You will lose any unsupported features that you used that are new in CS5, and there may be changes inthe line endings that affect text flow due to differences in the text engines. This is nothing new.

Photoshop cs5 and cs4, photoshop help...f1 why online

Hi
i have installed on w7 photoshop cs5 and photoshop cs4
well when i try to read the manual (the help files) clicking F1 or under the menu Help-> Photoshop Help F1 ,photoshop cs5 and cs4 connect to the net
for example cs4 opens a firefox page with the help guides
cs5 opens a windows connected to internet
for example i need to know some shortcut and i have to be connected to the net
that's weird
is there a way to use the offline help? like cs3
thanks

You can download the help files as a PDF from the Photoshop Support pages.
If you want to access the offline help files from F1, you have to disconnect PS from the Internet.
If you want to turn off Community Help so that local Help opens by default, do the following:
   1. Open the Connections panel (Window > Extensions > Connections).
   2. From the Connections panel menu , select Offline Options.
   3. Select Keep Me Offline and click OK.
Note: When you disable web services from the Connections panel, all other web services (such as Adobe Kuler and Adobe ConnectNow) are also disabled.

Problem with hidden tabs working in CS5 from a converted page maker file

I have run into some glitches with InDesign CS5 trying to convert my clients Page Maker file. I can open up the file but one of the most confusing issues is that it is not converting Page Maker’s tabs into an editable tab in InDesign. When I change the missing font to the font I am using for the layout design it creates these strange tabs. If I try to backspace to get rid of the tabs it will delete words on the previous line. When I reveal the hidden characters, no tab marks appear. I believe this might be because InDesign does not recognize the script Page Maker used to create it’s tabs? Does anyone have any recommendations for me?
(above is a screen shot that shows the strange tabs)

Those aren't tabs, they're a left indent on the paragraph coupled with a negative first line indent.

Replacing CS5 with CS4

I'm considering replacing Dreamweaver CS5 with CS4 because my textbook follows CS4, and there are several new features in CS5 that are not covered by the textbook. If I do this, will my existing webpages created by CS5 be destroyed? Will I be able to open them using CS4?

DW is designed so that you can open (almost) any HTML page in it, so you should be able to open pages created in CS5 in CS4. The worst case is that it may look a little different.
Note that you'll get a better response for general questions about DW here:

Can I upgrade to CS5 from CS4 if CS4 is not on my computer?

I downloaded CS4 from the internet and ran it on my computer until the computer crashed and I had to install a new hard drive. I now have CS4 on a backup disk ONLY, and it won't install from the disk for some reason. I get this error message:
UI mode: Full GUI
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): Invalid path passed to FileSystemPath constructor.
If I upgrade to CS5, does CS4 have to be on my new hard drive to do so? I DO have the registration number for my copy of CS4. I don't want to pay the full price for CS5 when I can pay for the upgrade only.
Thanks!

If you downloaded the CS4 product, then you can still access the download files from your Adobe account. Log in to your account and look under My Orders. (If you weren't able to deactivate the previous installation, you'll need assistance from a support agent before you can reinstall the CS4 software.)
However, you don't need CS4 installed in order to install the upgrade. You do, however, need the CS4 serial number.

Upgrade CS4 to CS5 - Will CS4 Still Work?

I have CS4 Web Premium on a Windows Vista X64 machine. I have downloaded trial of CS5 Web Premium and everything seems to work fine (i.e. both versions are running on this computer and seem to work fine).
My question is: If I upgrade to CS5, will CS4 still work?
The main reason I ask is that I have onOne software Plug-in suite 4.5 running on Photoshop CS4. onOne is charging $149 to upgrade to a version that works on CS5. I still want to be able to use onOne, but, at this point, not enough to pay their upgrade price.
I appreciate anyone that can offer some input.
Thanks, Wayne

Bob,
I guess my real question was what would happen to CS4 when I activated CS5. Considering the licensing practices of software companies today, I wasn't sure. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Best workflow CS3 to CS4 to CS5 or CS5 to CS4 to CS5

I had been doing a monthly magazine in Mac CS3 and sending it for text edits to someone with Mac CS4. They would return it to me as an .inx doc and I would prepare it as PDF for the printer.
Now that I have CS5, Would I be better off doing it in CS5 then giving them .inx to do edits?
So what's best?:
CS3 to CS4 to CS5
CS5 to CS4 to CS5
CS3 to CS4 to CS3
TIA

I had been doing a monthly magazine in Mac CS3 and sending it for text edits to someone with Mac CS4.
Text edits? Only text?
How about CS5 -> RTF -> CS5?
Just set up your text as one great big threaded, well-styled story, and export the RTF. Your editor edits text using TextEdit (how apropos), and returns the edited RTF file to you. You place it & clear overrides, and magically have an updated InDesign file requiring only minor tweaks. (We call this "poor man's InCopy" in our office.)
If I had to pick, I'd be dithering between unhappy options. Going backwards (CSn -> CSn-1) is a bad idea. Going forwards two versions at once (CSn -> CSn+2) is also a bad idea. Heck, in any workflow you want to be reliable, going forwards one version (CSn -> CSn+1) is dangerous and should be avoided. I would suppose that CS5 -> CS4 -> CS5 would be the least dangerous, if you made absolutely certain that no CS5-specific tools were being used. This requires some serious diligence, and even if you are 100% perfect in your avoidance of the new tools in CS5, text reflow will still happen occassionally. On top of that, I wouldn't advise relying on CS5 until the first bugpatch gets distributed by Adobe.
Basically, every option you have is fraught with possible dangers.
Edit: it's tough to tell someone to do something dangerous. CS3 -> 4 -> 3 is something I've done a great deal of, and it's worked out okay. Over more than a year, I've only had two projects blow up in my face because of backsaving in this workflow.

Problem exporting CS5 to CS4

Ive been using the trial version of CS5 but I recently purchased a copy of CS4.
I took all my fla files and saved them as CS4 files. For the one project that worked just fine, but for my website... its completely broken due to one issue.
My website uses a smaller window within the larger project which loads swfs for each of my projects. With CS5 this works just fine, and you can see it at http://www.sfu.ca/~alorimer/New/VirtualDreams.swf
Trying to test it after saving it to CS4 though... the buttons in the embedded swf files dont work. The swf files run fine on their own, but apparently the buttons once inside a larger swf file refuse to operate.
Im currently trying to build new files inside cs4 to see if it occurs that way, but is there a reason this shouldnt work in CS4, or that exporting should mess this up?
Thanks

Im still fairly new to flash, and I cant say I really know the differences between cs5 and cs4. Tlf is a format of text right?
Rebuilding it from the groundup... atm it looks like theres some setting in the background in the old file thats a problem as it works doing it all over...

No, without actualyl having the newer versions there is no way to convert anything. Otherwise you could use this.

Encoding for FLV results in 10x larger file CS5 vs CS4

I've recently upgraded to CS5 and the Media Encoder creates incredibly HUGE files compared to the CS4 media encoder.
For example, I can convert a 15MB mpg file to a 12 MB flv file in CS4 using the preset "FLV same as source"
I do not find a matching preset in CS5, but tried "FLV - match source atributes (medium quality)" Encoding the same file in CS5 with this preset results in 170MB file.
I've tried adjusting the settings, comparing the options in both versions, and I still can't get a reasonably sized file out of the CS5 media encoder.
This seems really broken to me. A 170 MB file is not useful in any way. Do I have bad presets?
Adobe Media Encoder version is 5.0.1.0 (32-bit)
thanks for any suggestions.
rp.

I am having the exact same issue with one exeption, I'm trying to convert a 10sec long mpg into a FLV. LIke you in CS4 it took just seconds to convert and the final FLV was about 1mb, if that. Now the same 10sec mpg in CS5, even after trimming as much as I can from settings, i'm still looking at 900mb, it starts at over 3000mb. I'm doing the same thing in 5 that I was in 4, web 640x480, and disabling the audio(which helps by a few hundred mb). The absolute best I can get is 70mb, and the conversion process still takes about 2.5 hrs to complete. If you hear back on this please pass it along to me, if I don't notice.

AVI length different in CS5 than CS4, GSpot, Media Player, etc

Hi folks,
I'm not quite a complete neophyte but close so my apologies if I've missed something obvious.
I've just upgraded to CS5 (5.03) and am encountering a puzzling situation. I'm have a set of Cineform AVIs (codec version 6.9.3.530) converted from 2 different camera's (one creates .mts files and the other .tod) and while the final avi's from one camera (.mts source file) seem to be working fine, files from the other will only report just over 2 minutes in lentgh. Actual time is better than 16 minutes.
Not working within a sequence yet, just looking at the file in the Project window, Source monitor and properties.
AVI's in question play fine in Premiere CS4, VLC, Media Player, etc. Everything looks to be alright in GSpot (correct length reported, plays fine). Interestingly GSpot reports 24,346 frames and CS5 reports 12173 keyframes, 12173 delta frames ... same I think?
To sum up ...
Cineform AVIs created from 2 different source file types (mts and tod) during the same conversion batch session (same setttings).
Both sets of AVIs work fine in CS4 and other apps
AVIs beginning life as MTSs working fine in CS5
AVIs starting as TOD are only about 2 minutes long in CS5 but lengths are fine elsewhere.
Any ideas or other information I could provide to help solve this?
Thanks much,
Lee

Nevermind ... not that simple apparently. I managed to get one of the avi's in the CS5 project created automatically when opening the original CS4 project to show the entire contents but can't replicate the behavior to another project using the same avi. Here are the media start, end, duration and video in, out duration values for the file. Viewing the avi in the source monitor I can see the full 16+ minutes. Odd disconnect between the 2 sets of values.
Any idea would be great!
Thanks,
Lee

Conversion fichiers cs5 vers cs4

Bonjour,
Pour les besoins d'une mairie, j'ai à convertir une pré-maquette réalisée sous Indesign cs5 vers une version cs4.
J'ai donc suivi les recommandations de cette page :
http://help.adobe.com/fr_FR/indesign/cs/using/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6d4da.h tml
Ceci dit, une fois que j'ouvre le fichier .idml dans cs5, autant je retrouve bien mes mises en page, mes fonds,
mes photos, autant les textes ont, eux, tous disparus !
(Par ailleurs qu'est-ce qui peut expliquer qu'un fichier indd fasse 2.5 Mo, et que le fichier .idml correspondant
ne fasse que 150 Ko ?)
Auriez-vous une petite idée là-dessus ?
Cordialement

Une fois ouvert le fichier dans cs4, le problème des textes disparaît : ils sont bien présents...
Donc plus de soucis
(PS : le fichier d'echange ne comprend pas de preview des images notamment, d'où le poids nettement plus léger...)
