How do I save my file using InDesign CS6 so that it can be opened with CS5?

I know other people asked similar questions but I can't find anything that helps me figure my issue out.
Basically, I packaged my file using InDesign CS6. When I sent it to the person it needed to be sent to, she couldn't open it. She was running CS5.
So now I'm trying to REpackage it still using CS6 but when I make an IDML version and try to package it, it says that I need to SAVE it. Well the only options are CS6, which I can't use again, and another IDML version. If I did the IDML it would just save it as another untitled document and then I'd have to start all over.
Actually I just tried that, and InDesign crashed.
Any suggestions?

Hey,
There is no such function in InDesign as 'saving to a lower version' (as it is in e.g. FrameMaker). There are interchange formats: obsolete INX (CS2,CS3,CS4) and current IDML (CS5, CS5.5, CS6).
You need to export (ctrl+e) previously saved document into IDML and attach to existing INDD file (Attaching is not necessary as IDML is a self-sufficient file). Also it's a really good idea to attach a PDF file (from CS6) as there might be some differences when opening a IDML from higher file in lower version program.
Final package could look like this:
     Document fonts
     Links
          original file.indd
          original file.idml
          original file.pdf
best regards
Kuba

  • Editing Photoshop CS6 file using InDesign CS6

    I need to edit a Photoshop CS6 file using InDesign CS6. Specifically, I am editing a business card and want to make changes to the layered components (for example: changing color hues, changing logo, changing fonts) and I know nothing about InDesign. Can anyone give me some pointers?

      The thing is, I don’t have Photoshop or Illustrator; I only have InDesign CS6 and I want to do the following:
    Deepen the colors
    Swap the logo for another one
    Change the font
    I am not able to access the layers because I used the place function to insert the jpeg file in the InDesign document. I remember once being able to access the layered document, but I don't remember how. I tried opening the Photoshop file using InDesign, but it doesn't come up as a readable file.

  • HT3705 How do I save a Pages document to jpeg so that I can share on social media?

    I have created a brochure and would like to post it on Facebook. How do I save a Pages document to jpeg so that I can share on social media and email? Do I have to save it as a jpeg or what other format can I save it in?

    Ashe,
    In Pages, Print to "PDF > Open PDF in Preview". From Preview, File > Export to the format or your choosing, one page at a time. For text, PNG would be better than JPG.

    Sorry we do not support this. What you can do though is add a Formatted Text element and add a link to a PDF. To insert a link add some text, select the text and right click on the text (or look under the Insert menu in the top right of the scene)

  • How rebuild path links from files in InDesign cs6

    I work with Indesign cs6, in a workgroup with synchronized files at my HD, from a virtual disk (cloud), and bacause of this, the path linked files got the computer name (ex.: computer1/folderx/file.indd).
    How many people edit the same file, many times the path do not is update when the file is opened at other computer. There is any way to change the path files in a easy way (manually)? Or make the Indesign search for files with broken links automatically from a new "root" or main folder in computer?

    This feature does not exist in InDesign. You're best hope is that you have a backup of the previous file. Moving forward, you might want to try a free product called Radish that allows you to save versions and revert back to previous versions when needed. Here's a blog post I wrote about the product Story Versioning in InCopy | InCopySecrets.

  • HT1296 How do I syn pdf files eg. of an econs notes from school onto my iPad? Where do I save these files to my Mac so that I can sync them to my iPad?

    Hi
    Just bought a CD for my Econs subject, has a lot of pdf files which I hope to load to my iPad.
    1. Where do I save these pdf files on my Mac?
    2. How do I syn such that these files can be found on my iPad so that I can read them?
    Please help, details needed as I am not a techie yet
    Thanks v much to anyone who can help

    You first need to decide which app(s) that you are going to copy the PDF2 to on the iPad - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app. Apps that support PDFs include free apps such as Apple's iBooks and Adobe Reader, and paid-for apps such as GoodReader.
    For all apps it doesn't really matter where you initially store them on your Mac.
    For iBooks you can add the PDFs to computer's iTunes library via File > Add To Library, and you can then sync them to the app by connecting the iPad to your computer and selecting it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and then using the Books tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync those PDFs.
    For other apps it will depend upon what the app that you get supports e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

  • Damaged file causes InDesign to crash and I can not open it now?

    I was working on a document and tried to use the eye dropper tool to select a color for a box I was going to use.
    I accidentally clicked on a placed vector image box and the document closed and InDesign quit.
    After doing some searching online, it was recommended to find the recovery file and delete it from my system, however, I can't find exactly where it is.
    I wound up deleting several items from the cashe file, but that didn't work.
    I did an "uninstall" of InDesign and then installed a new version. That did not work either.
    Where I am now...I can open InDesign and create a new document, but every time I try to open either the damaged file or the previous year file (which should not be damaged), InDesign crashes.
    i.e. - The file that crashed was the 2015 version of my document. I went to archived versions of that particular document (2014 and also 2013 versions) and they all crashed.
    (The files were all named different, based on the year created).
    Help!

    Emptying the recovery folder makes sense to me....as far as the plugins, font manager, I'm not sure if that would be the problem.
    Of course, at this point, I'm striking out. I don't know how or what to do about plugins...do you have specific directions?
    Because of the deadline, I'm having to start over on my project. I think instead of building the pages in InDesign, I'll build in Photoshop and place the Photoshop files into InDesign.
    I can't remember ever having this problem and I've used InDesign for many years. I am on the monthly plan and have the latest versions of everything.

  • How do I save a board outline as part so that it can be placed on new designs?

    I made the mistake of using one of Ultiboards PC104 predefined board outlines. The problem is the board outline screw holes are the size of screw head not the thread. Is there a way that I can make board outlines that I can "Place" in a similair fashion to the "Pre-Defined Board Outlines" supplied with Ultiboard?

    Hi there,
    You can make your own board outlines that you can save to your database. You need to:
    Draw your board template with all the outline, connectors and mechanical holes, etc
    Select what you have drawn
    Click Tools>>Database>>Add Selection to Database
    Add your board template to your User or Corporate database as you usually would. You can make subcategories and organise your database by components, board outlines, etc.
     Hope that answers your question.

  • How do i save numbers from iphone to sim so that i can use a regular nokia with my iphone sim card

    Help, I need to send my phone for repair and only have a nokia spare, How can i save my telephone numbers onto my iphone sim, before i transfer the sim card

    IIRC the sim from another phone can have data on it but the iPhone will only copy it into contacts if requested
    but leaves the data there so you need to have it the other way round ie data on a phone sim that is iPhone compatible used in Nokia or what ever and also in iPhone with sim accessed in Nokia but not in iPhone
    Can't guarantee but I am sure someone will shoot me down if there is a flaw in above

  • How do I save PSD files created in windows so MAC users can open and work

    I have been designing photoshop files for sale to photographers online and all of my work has been created in a windows 7 system. I had a photographer contact me saying that the PSD was trouble to open and that the fonts would not work on his MAC computer.
    Can someone supply me with information on creating/saving windows PSD files so that a MAC user can open them and also use the fonts I supply with the files.
    The files I create are multilayered PSD's and contain fonts for windows PC use and I don't want to exclude MAC users from utilizing my work.
    Any help appriciated.

    Just save.  There is no difference in files between platforms.
    There are some Windows-centric font formats that aren't portable, by any OpenType or TrueType font will be portable between platforms.

  • How do I access my CC files using Lightroom 5 so that I can edit photos from desktop or laptop

    Very frustrated. I am not sure if this is a question about 'syncing' (since it's apparently not available to everyone - though this wasn't mentioned when they sold me on their subscription), about 'work flow' (what ever that means), 'catalogs', 'libraries', 'collections', 'folders", 'importing' or 'exporting'.
    All I want to do it to be able to move from my desktop in one room to my laptop in another (or on the road) and be able to open up and edit the same group of photos that I managed earlier to upload into files on the <files> section of the CC panel. I watched a vdeo about 'syncing' using CC for Photoshop but I think this is for presets. Which begs the question, can you do the same for lightroom 5 presets?
    In looking at my screen with the CC panel on it and clicking on <Files> so that I am sure I am typing about the correct features, I now see that the 3 file folders of photos I dragged and dropped into it earlier today is now missing my files and is displaying a message that says "Coming Soon: Creative Cloud will sync files between the cloud and your desktop". Where did my files go?
    Now I am even more frustrated.
    My questions are now:
    1) How do I access the cloud, where my files should be, when using only Lightroom?
    2) Do I have to import photos into Lightroom on one of my 2 computers first, then transfer them to the cloud, before I can also access them on the other machine?
    I am not sure if this information matters, but I switch between a desktop and a laptop throughout the week. Both are Windows. I also use an external harddrive to store my photos on. It would be nice if I didn't have to unplug the damn thing and carry it with me from location to location.
    Thanks in advance.

    So, in short, is there a simple way , without opening iphoto, to do a logical path such as HD, pictures, iphoto, iphoto library and then BAM! just see all my files?
    In short - no.
    If you are using iPhoto to manage your photos for you, use iPhoto to retrieve  them.
    There are many user-friendy ways to access photos in iPhoto, but if you simply want a set of nested folders with photos, don't import your photos to iPhoto.

    How to import a Photoshop file into Indesign CS6 so that it's layers show in InDesign and it can then be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

    What do you mean by "adjust"? Editing of Photoshop images should be done in Photoshop.
    Sure, it's possible to save individual layers from an image in Photoshop as inidvidual files in a variety of formats, but what's the point? You could just as easily import the layered file, then copy/paste it into a new layer for each layer in the image and use layer visibility to control which ones show. I don't think that will do you a lot of good, though, if you use adjustment layers or opacity controls on the layer in Photoshop.
