How to prevent Creative Suite apps setting the creator code?

I've just exported a PDF from InDesign CS4. Despite my default app for PDFs being Preview, it's opening in Acrobat.
It was bad enough having Photoshop CS3's exported JPEGs open in Photoshop rather than Preview by default, but now the disease seems to be spreading.
How can I disable this behaviour on Mac OS 10.5? (No, doing a Get Info on every file I export is not a valid answer! )
Surely the Creative Suite apps should have an option as to whether creator codes are set? They've got enough other options, after all…
(I know Snow Leopard fixes this by ignoring creator codes — please, Adobe, don't try and find a workaround for this without making it optional!)
Thanks

Thanks, but I'm afraid the default for .jpg and .pdf is already to load in Preview. Surely all that fix will do is alter any files CS4 has already exported (and possibly anything where I've explicitly overridden the default app) but not future exports?
I need a fix that I set once, and then CS4 takes the hint that I know best about what programs should open what files (ie it stops setting creator codes).
At least when I can get this old iMac replaced, the new one will have Snow Leopard and the OS will finally ignore the creator codes and just use the default app that I set. About time Apple fixed that…

help I got a new computer and I got rid of my old one that I had downloaded some of the creative suite on now I need to download it on my new computer and I can't because I have downloaded it on 2 computers, but I no longer have one of them and I uninstalled the creative suite apps on the old computer. I am panicking I need this downloaded on my new computer asap...I have deadlines to meet!! Help me please!

It should download and install. When you then first launch it and try to log into your CC account, it will ask you what to do. Then you can select to deactivate all other installs.

I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps. I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.1). You must use that version or later to open the file." AARRGGHH! So how do I access the file?

Sounds like you opened and saved it in CC, so now you need to go back to CC and either complete the project there, or export to IDML to take it back into CS6.

Thank you so much. I finally got it to work. I don't know why it has to be such an ordeal when it comes to Adobe products!

How to download creative suite with the serial number

I have the discs from when I purchased creative suite 3. The serial number is registered to me. I recently bought a macbook pro. I would like to get my creative suite over to the new computer. Any suggestions on how to do that?

Just install the application from the discs and use the serial number to activate. You are allowed to have two machines with activated installations if you wish to keep both working. If you wish to free up the extra activation then open an application on the old machine and choose Help -> Deactivate.

I bought by mistake the 9.99$ creative suit along with the 19.99$ one. I need to cancel the first, how is it done?

Creative Suite Color Setting

I have Adobe CS6. When I go to my Adobe Bridge's Creative Suite Color Setting (under Edit Menu), it says "Suite Color Management is not enabled, Suite Color Management Requires a qualifying product launched at least once to enable this feature." I opened PS, ID, IL with no help. How do I solve this problem? Also Bridge's Camera Raw Preferences displaying the same error message. Please help.

Hi
Thanks for the info, do you think it would be possible in future releases?
Also im now thinking, if i take out all the csf files creative suite has installed and just leave my custom made one. Then bridge has to sync this one fir all adobe apps right?
Plwase let me know what you think?
Thanks

How to synchronize Creative Suite applications for consistent color?

Wondering how to synchronize Creative Suite applications for consistent color? (On a Mac.)

artificial "suites"
I don't agree with that; some of these applications are very tightly integrated with a seamless cross-app workflow.
Anyway: In itself, there's no particular reason to have the apps "synchronized". Requirements are different in the various apps, and my color settings are deliberately unsynchronized. But until you understand more about what the different color settings do, it's a simple safeguard against surprises.
In Photoshop, working on RGB (or CMYK) raster image material, the all-important thing is to have color management policies set to "preserve embedded profiles". Any other setting is trouble waiting to happen. You may also want to work in a large space like ProPhoto to have maximum editing headroom.
But as soon as you get into CMYK and/or vector territory with ID and Ai, you don't want that because it can lead to a number of other problems on press. For CMYK you'll want to ignore profiles and preserve numbers, then reassign the correct profile for output. Using ProPhoto for RGB vector is also totally pointless. Just mentioning this to put this into context.
If you do want to synchronize, you do it in Bridge as station two said. But all it means is having the same settings in each app's color settings, and you can do that manually as well.

How to refuse Creative Cloud app update without quitting

When an update is available for the Creative Cloud app itself, the only choices given are Update and Quit. Quitting often prevents other CC apps from launching. I admin a training facility where we schedule our updates, and I can't have my students updating every time CC wants it (they don't have admin priviedges, and I don't have time to run around entering passwords every time an update shows up).
How do we refuse these coerced updates?

How do I install an app on the application page in Lion?

How do I intall additional apps in the launchpad in Lion?

Well, Appleworks is a PowerPC application, so it won't run on Lion and therefore would not show up in the LaunchPad. The others could also be in the same category depending on how old they are. Office 2004 and before are PowerPC apps. I think the iWork suite was universal, but I'm not sure. All the rest you'll have to verify that they are at least Universal or Intel.
