How do I open PageMaker 7 files in InDesign CC without buying a previous version of InDesign?

without buying a previous version of InDesign?

InDesign CC does not have the capability of opening Pagemaker 6 and 7 files, but InDesign CS6 does.
If you have a Creative Cloud subscription, you can also download InDesign CS6 at no charge using the Creative Cloud desktop app.
In the Creative Cloud app, go to the Apps list. Scroll down until you see the heading Filters & Versions. Choose Previous Versions. You can download CS6 from there.
Both versions can run on your computer at the same time.

  • How  can I open a document that i saved without buying the latest pages?

    I saved two documents last week and now I can not open them without "buying the latest version of pages"  Is there anyway to save this information without being forced to buy new software.   I have been happy with my old pages and saved it with my old pages and not I can not open it with out buying the new version.  I feel that apple is holding my document hostage.  Any help would be appreciated.

    DM,
    You probably already have V5 without knowing it. Unless someone else edited your documents with V5, it was you, and you just need to make sure that you are using V5 for edits.
    Right-Click the docment in Finder and choose Open With: Pages V5.x
    I'd be surprised if you didn't find that option.

  • How do you open PageMaker files in CS5?  I need to update an older PM6.5 multi-page document.

    I am fairly new to CS5.  I need to update a multipage document that I believe is either a PageMaker 6.5 or 7.0 file.  When I try to open, I can't.

    What happens when you try? Do you get an error message? If so, the word-for-word content of the error message might help.
    Are you sure it's a PageMaker file? It sounds like you might be uncertain. If you can make it publicly available (by e.g. sending it to yourself on YouSendIt and posting or emailing the link) then I could open it up in Notepad++ and see if it really is a complete, undamaged PageMaker file.

  • How do I open PageMaker files with InDesignCC?

    I don't need a discussion. I need a simple answer.

    The simple answer is you don't. The last version that could open PM files is CS6. Your CC subscription entitles you to download and install CS6 as well.

  • How can i open pdf files from the web without saving them

    Windows 7
    Firefox 5
    Adobe Reader 9
    when i want to see a web based pdf file i have to save it before opening it instead of it just opening in a pdf window.

    You can't.

    They can not even be accessed by iOS.

  • Buying previous versions of indesign

    Hi
    I am a home user of Quark and would very much like to start using indesign, however my imac running Snow Leopard is not compatible. My question is... is there any way of buying a previous version of Indesign that does run on my platform?
    Thanks a million for your help

    If you don't want to invest the $700 for the perpetual license, you can also get the cloud subscription, which lets you choose any version starting with CS6. There's a single app plan for $20 per month.
    How old is your iMac? Mid 2007 and newer will take Lion 10.7.5, which will let you run ID CC.

  • Is it possible to open PageMaker files in CS2? or CS6?  How can I download it while keeping my CC2014?

    Is it possible to open PageMaker files in CS2? or CS6?  How can I download it while keeping my CC2014?
    Can someone give me step by step instructions?

    Asking about InDesign? Up to CS6, I read somewhere. For instructions you might find it better to ask in the InDesign forum, rather waiting for someone to stumble into this forum - look there goes a tumbleweed!

  • I cannot afford to upgrade my computer and sw from xp. How do I open older files created in InDesign CS2

    I cannot afford to upgrade my computer and sw from xp.
    How do I open older files created in InDesign CS 2.

    Someone tell me this is a message about the newer version that has not been installed on my computer.

    If you plan on collaborating with other users who have progressed with the technology you are gong to have to upgrade. There is simply no way any longer to continue with XP and CS2 except in isolation.

  • New problem opening Pagemaker files with InDesign

    I have quite a lot of archive files made in Pagemaker 6 and 7 and now use InDesign CS2. Until recently I could open pagemaker files from InDesign then save them as InDesign files and away I went.
    But now I am just getting an error message saying the document is damaged and cannot be recovered. First off I thought it really was a damaged document but then realised all my old .pmds were saying the same.
    Is there a known issue maybe with a recent upgrade of InDesign or something?
    I would really love to be able to access my old pmds!!
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Yes Joel you're right - XP and recently installed SP3.
    Just pondering the best way forward.
    I'm responsible for the IT for a small charity with 8 staff members.
    I have Master Suite CS3 and use a variety of the programmes but the other staff members are only using InDesign and MS Office.
    We're not a high end design set up but producing all the sort of leaflets, posters bits and pieces that we need day to day. 
    Decided to upgrade to Office 2010 and to do that I had to install SP3.
    Stuck with ID2 for everyone else (and went to great lengths to buy some extra licenses to do so) because opening an ID2 file with ID3 creates a new file which is a big nuisance and it's expensive to upgrade across the board (even with charities having access to educational licensing concessions).
    Fact of life is we do tend to have quite long-lived files and I will go on wanting to open pagemaker ones for some time to come.
    I probably only want to convert a pmd once a month I guess - it's just suddenly a huge nuisance not to be able to do those few ...
    I can't roll back to SP2 because of Office 2010.
    I could re-set one workstation wtih XP2, Office XP and InDesign CS2 purely to be able to convert pmds. Again, nuisance and ties up a licence on a little-used machine.
    I could bite the bullet and move everyone over to InDesign CS3 - will I definitely be able to open pmds from there?
    Ah, just thought - I have an ID3 licence but not loaded on my computer. If I load that and use it just for opening pmds then export them for backwards compatibility with ID2 like this http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/5.0/help.html?content=WSa285fff53dea4f86173837510 01ea8cb3f-6d4d.html will I then be a happy bunny?
    Would be glad of expert comment before I start faffing about!
    Thanks

  • How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    Andy,
    In the simple and short form, what happens with the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module is that it gets updated with regularity, to accommodate the camera mfgr's. changes for their newer models. That ACR works within the host program, such as Ps, PsElements, Lightroom, etc.. At a point, Adobe ceases to support older host program versions. When that happens, the user has a few options:
    Upgrade the host program version
    Use another host program, such as PsElements or Lightroom
    Use the free DNG converter, per Curt's suggestion. That is not host program dependent
    Glad that the DNG Converter works for you.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How can i open .mts files in premiere cs4?

    Hi all,
    I am using premiere cs4.
    when i import .mts file in cs4 it says file format is not supported.
    could any one please tell me how can i open .mts file in premiere cs4.
    Thanks
    Murali.

    What kind of audio did the camera record?  For example, the Sony NX5U can be set to record linear PCM audio, which will not import into CS4.  If the same camera is set to record AC3 audio, then the clips should import and play as expected.  This thread may help:

  • How do I open .wim files on my macbook pro?

    When my hard drive crashed for the second time on my HP computer, I knew it was time for a change. The HP help menue gave me the option to backup everything onto an external hard drive. I did this and now when I try to open the files inside, they are all "#.wim" files. The #s go from 0.wim-53.wim. How do I open these files? Some might be microsoft word or powerpoint files but I have not got Microsoft word for mac yet. I understand that this will probably prevent me from opening some of the files but wouldnt I be able to open the others? If you know anything about ".wim" files, please help me.
