How to save CS6 as CS5.5

hello all,
Can you advise how to save a CS6 document to be editable in CS5.5 (particularly Photoshop)? I have tried Save As and Export but have not discovered any options to do so.
thanks,
Berabby

You can't officially save PrPro CS6 project as PrPro CS5.5.
As said in the comment #2, you can open up PrPro CS6 .prproj file in a script editor (e.g. Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit) or even a text editor (preferably, which respects formatting, but doesn't add its own formatting) and then in the fourth line replace Version="25" with Version="24":
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PremiereData Version="3">
<Project ObjectRef="1"/>
<Project ObjectID="1" ClassID="62ad66dd-0dcd-42da-a660-6d8fbde94876" Version="24">
Keep in mind that everything is at your own peril, and new PrPro CS6 features can't be converted (properly interpreted) to PrPro CS5.5. Some changes in GUI can even cause a crash, as described in the comment #6. To overcome crash issues you can rely on a good old trick of importing a project into a project (i.e. create a brand new PrPro CS5.5 project and import into it the one, within which you replaced Version="25" with Version="24").

Want to Save CS6 to CS5

Hi, I have some files in Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign that I wish to be backwards compatible with CS5.
I'm concerned more about my Illustrator files at the moment.
I'm not sure how to save as a CS5 file or if there is an automatic way to make it compatible overall.
I am on a MBP.
Any more questions, please post.
Thanks.
-As far as I know for Photoshop, it's under Preferences, General, File Handling, Maximise PSD Compatibility: Always.
Is this correct?

I found this on another forum, but is there a more permanent solution to this?
So I don't have to Save As everytime?
Aka I want to save everytime and not have to worry about compatibility issues.

To clarify your answer for Illustrator. The option is not in the "Save As" dialog box.
The correct answer is
Open you CS6 Illustrator file.
File>Save As
The Save As dialog box opens
Type your file name (DIFFERENT THAN ORIGINAL PLEASE!) and the Save as Type is still going to be Adobe Illustrator (*.AI) **This is where the above instructions threw me, as the Save as type drop down does not list anything about versions to save fo)
Click Save
Once you click Save, the Illustrator Options dialog box will come up. The first option is titled Version and has a drop down menu. Select the version of illustrator you want to save your file as here, then click ok.
Your done.
I strongly suggest you give this file a different name than your original CS6 Illustrator version as you may lose some parts of your design in the conversion.
Hope this helps. Enjoy!

How to Convert back to CS5.5 after cancellation of Creative Cloud CS6

I have subscribed to cloud for use and trial, however I am purchasing CS5.5 since I found it so great, but still can't afford the cs6. My question is about the documents i made in premiere pro cs6, and the ones that were converted to CS6 from my earlier version previously used (CS4). How do I get those back to former versions so I can edit and use them again after cancelation of creative cloud cs6?
I have a whole lot of Premiere Pro and Aftereffect docs that I edited and hence were converted during use of the CS6 Cloud, but now I NEED them back to either CS5.5 (which I am purchasing today), or at the very least my CS4.

It's a circular thing: You need AE CS6 to save back to CS5.5, so unless you stil lhave a working CS6 version, there's no way to convert. Premiere Projects are generally not backward compatible, but I could be wrong. I don't use Premiere that often and may be missing something...

How do I upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 and how much does it cost in New Zealand?

How do I upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 and how much does it cost in New Zealand?

If you don't want to go the Cloud route and subscribe then Adobe still sells CS6 (online only) via their website
http://www.adobe.com/au/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_s l_creativesuite6.html
(make sure you're in the NZ store - check the Country the link above the Copyright at the bottom LHS of the page)
Select your product then click Buy
I want to buy: Select Upgrade from the dropdown menu
I own: <select your existing CS5.5 product>
Complete your purchase.
Upgrade cost depends on which CS5.5 suite you own and which CS6 suite you want to upgrade to.

How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

Yes. Thanks. I misled myself based on another post. Successfully did this by selecting "File," "Save a copy ..." then choosing "for CS4 or later (IDML)"
It required some patience and several tries, but I think that was due to hardware (memory) being overloaded by CC Cloud version or something. It was a 50 MB, 500-page file and took 17 minutes to convert/save,
Re-capping: from CCloud to CS5, don't use "Export" (to IDML); use "Save as" or "Save a copy" and select "for CS4 or later (IDML)".
Advice much appreciated.

How to open a idml file created by CS6 in CS5?

I created a file in InDesign CS6 and saved as idml file yesterday.
But today I can not open either in CS6 or CS5 version.
It says
"Cannot open the file "Project #3.idml". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."
Is there anyother way could open this file?

I chose from the drop-down list.
Maybe not.
Anyway, thank you very much!

Cannot save with phothoshop CS5 or CS5.5

Hi, since I upgraded to Mountain Lion i can't save any photoshop CS5 or CS5.5 to a mounted volume on my mac. But I can with CS4 and CS6. Do somebody has the same problem as me?

As a policy, Adobe ceases updating older releases once a newer version is released.
That says there will probably be no patch forthcoming to make the operation of Photoshop CS5.x any different.
