How to Save a file in InDesign 5 so it will open in InDesign 3 (no InDesign 4)

How do I save an InDesign 5 file in InDesign 5 so it can be opened by my graphic designer in In Design 3.
Neither of us have CS4.
She thinks she cannot open an .IDML file on In Design 3. Can she?
What do I do to save it to get it to her so she can open it?
Judy B.

First lets calrify the numbering. InDesign version 5 IS CS3. CS5 is actually version 7. It's kind of confusing.
Now for the bad news. No way at all that you can make a file directly from CS5 that can be opened in CS3. One of us would be willing to do the two-stp converion of a single file for you, but you need to understand that this is not, repeat NOT a good way to collaborate. You should both be working inthe same version if you expect to send files back and forth. The CS5 file is likely to be mangled (new features lost, potential text reflow) after going back two versions, and there are enough reports of issues with opening CS3 files in CS5 to make me gunshy, even though I've not seen a single case of trouble with my own files.

How to save a file in the newer version of muse to use it in an older version of muse

I started to work in a project at home with a 30 day trial of the latest Muse, I was going to continue working at school, and I can't open it. So how can I save the file to open it in an older version?

Hi Luisis,
Any file that is saved in the latest version of Muse cannot be opened in any previous of Muse and as of now there is no option available in Muse such that you can save the file in such a manner that it opens in the previous version.
However, I would request you to post this as a feature request at Ideas for features in Adobe Muse

How to save pdf file in database

Dear All,
my application is forms 6i and database is 8i,requirement is that how to save pdf file in database and users can view through forms

I'll apologize up front for the length of this post. I have a few database procedures I created that write a file to a BLOB column in a table as well as retrieve the BLOB from the column after it stored there. I have successfully stored many different types of binary file to the database using these procedures - including PDF files. I have not used these procedures in a Form so I can confirm that they will work, but theoretically they should work. I'm including the code for each procedure in this posting - hence the apology for the long post! :-)
Also, since these procedures reside on the database you will need to use Forms TEXT_IO built-in package to write your file to the server before you can use these procedures to store and retrieve the file from the database.
These procedures reads and writes a binary file to a table called "LOB_TABLE." You will need to modify the procedure to write to your table.

How to save CSV file in application server while making infospoke

How to save CSV file in application server to be used as destination while making infospoke.
Please give the steps.........

Hi
If you want to load your flatfile from Application server,then you need to trasfer your file from your desktop(Computer) to Application server by using FTP.
Try using ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER Function module.
You Just need to give thesource path and the target path
goto SE37 t-code , which is Function module screen, give the function name ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER, on click F8 Execute button.
for path variable give the file path where it resides like C:\users\xxx\desktop\test.csv
for target path give the directory path on Application server: /data/bi_data
remember the directory in Server starts with /.
U have to where to place the file.
Otherwise use 3rd party tools to connect to ur appl server like : Core FTP and Absolute FTP in google.
Otherwise...
Goto the T.code AL11. From there, you can find the directories available in the Application Server.
For example, if you wanna save the file in the directory "DIR_HOME", then you can find the path of the directories in the nearby column. With the help of this, you can specify the target path. Specify the target path with directory name followed by the filename with .CSV extension.
Hope this helps

How to save iPhoto file in a separate portable hard disk drive?

You want to move the iPhoto Library?
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

I have pages on my MAC, friends cannot open. How do I save a file so a Microsoft Word user can open it?

I have Pages on my MacBook Air, friends cannot open when I send as an attachment to an e-mail. How do I save a file so a Microsoft Word pc can open.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Pages documents can only be read on another iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Mac with Pages installed. To make a document compatible with Microsoft Word, you just have to export the document.
To do that, just open the document with Pages, and then, go to File menu > Export > Word, and after exporting that document to Word format, just send it

How to save .pdf file using office word and excel

Can someone help me how to save .pdf files using office word and excel? I reinstalled my adobe 7.0 pro in my new pc and before I was able to do it but with my old pc.

For anything after Office 2003, you have to print to the Adobe PDF printer. If you installed AA 7 on OS newer than XP, you may have to do a workaround to get it to work. With later versions of WORD you can always use the MS plugin for creating PDFs.

HELP!!!! How to save xml file!!!Anyone can help???

Hi,
It is urgent for me to know how to save xml file. I use VC++6.0, Oracle xdk 9.0.0.0.0 or 9.0.0.0.0Abeta under windows98.
It is OK to compile the program with print() method. But system will tell me there is illegal operation when I run it. If I delete the line with print(), the result will be normal.
in class node, there is two functions
void print(ostream *out = &cout, uword level = 0,uword step = 4);
void print(DOMString buffer, size_t bufsize, uword level = 0, uword step = 4);
Is there anyone who may tell me how to use them? to write back specific xml file?
Without print(), I can not save the xml file...It seems in Oracle xdk9.0.0.0.0, there is no obvious function to save the file.(or because I am a new comer , not familier with DOM)
Can anyone tell me how to save xml file? or just paste an example! It is very a little urgent to me...Hope you give me some ideas....
Many thanks in advance!!!!
yours,
Fiena

Could not save because file was already in use or left open

I am have several problems with Adobe Photoshop CS4. I call up Adobe for help, I pay 50.00 or 60.00 for their help with these situations that I am having. Adobe concludes the phone call saying they are closing the case cause the problem has been resolved. I told them it has not been resolved I am still having problems then the person hangs up on me. I call back cause the problems still persists, the tech person told me that I had to pay another 50.00-60.00 for the
tech support. I told him that I already paid and that I still need help, the tech guy told me that the case was closed cause it was resolved. I told them it was not
resolved and I am needing help with this particular issue. The tech person kept saying that the issue was resolved and if I needed more help that I had to pay.
This time I hung up on him and while I did that I said that the Apple Support Community was way more helpful and it was free.
So here I am 6 months later and tried everything, Here are the problems that I am having.
1. CS4 keeps quitting unexpectedly with no cause no error nothing. The blue light under the CS4 Ps is still lit and wont let me reopen the file, I then have to force quit the program. I then get these windows asking if I want to send a report, I click ignore cause I am tired of filling out those things. So I try to open the
photoshop file and I get the blue window with the Ps logo on it, its scanning everything but then it stops responding when the scan reaches the part where it says scanning memory and freezes. I then have to force quit the program again, I have to do this 5 times before it will open the file. Then Ps will unexpectedly quit after 2 hrs of working and starts the B.S. all over again. I dont know what is wrong with CS4. Other times it runs really slow and glitchy. It also happens on my Mac Book Pro, iMac and of course my Mac Pro.
I know its not the computers or the settings or anything interacting with it. I checked everything extensively from the terminal to permissions and back to the program itself and everything in between. I am needing help, the Adobe forums are of no use, I cant find anything there.
2. I keep getting this error and I am not sure what it is, this only happens when I use Ps CS4 and yes it happens on all my other Apple computers.
Error: "could not save because file was already in use or left open" not sure how to fixt this, I have already tried the permissions and it did not seem to work.
All my computers run OS X Lion version 10.7.3. I had these problems even before I upgraded to Lion, 2 months later after Lion came out. These problems have been going on since Snow Leopard. All my Macs are up to date and I did use the Disk Utilities on everything... Please help me.

First off are you editing a photo that you have placed into indesign if so the in use or left open issue is a common one, the only help is to go to indesign move the picture by nugging it then go back to photoshop and try saving again, if this does not work close the indesign file then save.
On the other issue of photoshop crashing, One thing I would try would be to create another user account, Start up photoshop and only it and work with it. The reason why is to see if maybe there are some 3rd party software you have loaded on your systems that might be causing the issues. "Ya never know"
I would assume you have reinstalled photoshop on lion. Do you still have older version of OSX installed, if so try booting to them and working with photoshop to see if it works there.
Good Luck

How do I send my pages attachment so that it will open for those with Microsoft word?

How do I send my pages attachment so that it will open for those with Microsoft Word?

Hi Victoria,
Pages does not run on Windows.
Word cannot open a Pages file.
If you want someone without pages to be able to open your attachment, you will have to send it in a format openable on the recipient's computer.
If the recipient needs only to read the document, the most universal format is pdf. To send a pdf copy of your file, press command-P to open the Print dialogue, then click the PDF button and choose email PDF. This will open a new message in your default email client and attach the pdf file to that message.
If the recipient needs to be able to edit/change your document, and has MS Word, then either Save a copy as a Word file or go File > Export and choose Word as the file format for the export.
Be aware that MS Word does not support all features of Pages (and vice versa), and that formatting of the document may be affected by font substitution if you use fonts that are not available on the recipient's machine.
Regards,
Barry
