Importing INX from CS3 to CS2 problem

Greetings,
I'm working on a 16-page newsletter file saved from ID CS3 to INX that then won't import into CS2. When I try, a list of missing plugins come up that its saying are needed. The thing is, I've done this before and it wasn't a problem. Also, I've tried a blank test INX from CS3 into CS2 and it opens.
I'm assuming there's something in this particular CS3 newsletter file that's causing the snag, but have no idea what I'm looking for or how to fix it. A corrupt font, maybe? or corrupt image file?
I had a similar newsletter file last month that I did the CS3 --> INX --> CS2 thing with, and it worked fine as well. I just repeated that process with those old files and it still works, so the problem is with this new file. I'm not using any new plug ins or doing anything really different this month compared to last.
Any ideas? I'd really rather not have to recreate it from scratch, especially if it may not solve the problem -- it'd take a long time and we're in a bit of a hurry.
Thanks for any help.

I saw the hyperlink in there just by luck -- it was a long document and I was just scanning through, seeing what I could see. I went back to the InDesign CS3 file to remove it via the "Hyperlinks" panel, and resaved as INX, which opened in my CS2.
Unfortunately it didn't open in my colleague's CS2 after all though, which is why we were doing the INX deal in the first place... so we gave up and we're editing it over the phone. Real high-tech.
There really needs to be a plug-in or something next time around, Adobe, or preferably, built-in backward-compatibility like most other apps have. This whole "save as INX" thing is extremely annoying.

Apostrophe glyph does not transfer from CS3 to CS2 by inx

Can someone please confirm this: The Apostrophe glyph does not transfer by inx from CS3 5.0.2(640) to CS2 4.0.5(688).
It does transfer by inx from CS2 4.05(688) to CS1 3.0.1(838).
It also does roundtrip in CS3, CS2, and CS.
This is not a problem for me now that I know about it. I just wanted to report it for the benefit of others, as this is a commonly used character.
I tested this with Times (T1) in a very simple file containing just the apostrophe glyph followed by the lower case "x". These tests were conducted in Tiger 10.4.11.
It seems like it may be related to the similar problem with bullet glyphs that has been mentioned by Sandee and others in this forum.

I can reproduce the report by Klaus of being able to put in the "missing" apostrophe with a text editor. But using TextWrangler I was unable to find the "missing" apostrophe in the CS3 inx by searching for "'" or "0027" (the Unicode value for the apostrophe). Now, since IDCS3 is able to open its own inx including the apostrophe glyph, it must be encoding it in the inx in some special way. Exploring the IDCS2 inx for a test file with the string "CHICKEN 'N WAFFLES" shows that it is saved as "c_CHICKEN"+"&apos"+";N WAFFLES". Then searching from the top for the string "&apos", finds 5 instances of it. While a simillar search for "&apos" in the CS3 inx finds only one instance of it. Clearly IDCS3 and IDCS2 write their inx files differently. No surprise there. Searching the CS3 inx for *parts* of "CHICKEN 'N WAFFLES" locates: <txsr prst="o_u65" crst="o_u62" paln="e_cent" ptfs="c_Medium" ptsz="U_18" font="c_Helvetica"> <pcnt>c_CHICKEN </pcnt> </txsr> <txsr prst="o_u65" crst="o_u62" paln="e_cent" ptfs="c_Medium" ptsz="U_18" ligt="b_f" font="c_Helvetica" OTca="b_f"> <pcnt>e_SSSq</pcnt> </txsr> <txsr prst="o_u65" crst="o_u62" paln="e_cent" ptfs="c_Medium" ptsz="U_18" font="c_Helvetica"> <pcnt>c_N WAFFLES</pcnt> </txsr> Now if I paste in a copy of the lines : <txsr prst="o_u65" crst="o_u62" paln="e_cent" ptfs="c_Medium" ptsz="U_18" font="c_Helvetica"> <pcnt>c_N WAFFLES</pcnt> </txsr> after the first occurrence and save the file from TextWrangler, it will then reopen in IDCS3 with the text string "CHICKEN ''N WAFFLES" (note the two apostrophes). But in the case of the string " 'x" as the only contents of the text frame where the apostrophe *does* transfer from CS3 to CS2 it is encoded this way: <txsr prst="o_u6b" crst="o_u68" ptfs="c_Regular" ptsz="U_18" ligt="b_f" font="c_Times (TT)" OTca="b_f"> <pcnt>c_ '</pcnt> </txsr> <txsr prst="o_u6b" crst="o_u68" ptsz="U_18" font="c_Times (TT)"> <pcnt>c_x</pcnt> </txsr> Note the "&apos" in that code, which is what CS2 is able to import. Conclusion: IDCS3 does indeed save the apostrophe in the inx in a completely different way than IDCS2, and in different ways under different circumstances. So the bug is that Abobe forgot to take into account how the new way of writing the apostrophe would affect IDCS2's ability to import it. Al

Every single box is outlined after conversion from CS3 to CS2!!!! Plz HELP!!!

Hi there guys,
I'm quite new to the forum, but I have come through an issue that is weird to me...
See: One of my clients I'm a freelance designer– is an ad agency whose only graphic designer is on marriage vacation.
This guy converted some files from Indesign CS3 to CS2 so I can go on whit the projects while he is out happily just married in Thailand...
The problem is, however, whit every single box, doesn't matter if they are text or image boxes or even empty boxes. Neither if they already had outline or not. They all have somehow come up whit a black outline. And I'm starting to lose my nerves on fixing that...
Moreover, there are some text boxes –footnotes and the like– that contain a web address or an e-mail direction. This "www.xxxxxxxxx.com" and the "[email protected]" stuff is outlined within the text box with the same black line that will disappear only if I type back the thing...
Is this maybe a known issue? Has anyone ever heard or experienced that?
Any workarounds or known fixes or whatever?
Thanks a lot for taking the trouble to read and answer!!!

The outlines around hyperlinks are just visual indicators for you so you'll know they are there (not all hyperlinks show up as URLs) and won't print. You should be able to turn them off in the hyperlinks palette if you want to. If you just re-type the hyperlink text it will no longer be a real hyperlink, if that'st required.
As far as the strokes on everything, I'm not sure. Is it possible there's an object style applied to all of these items and the stroke is now defined in the style. (Does CS2 support object styles? I've forgotten and don't have it on this machine to check). It could also be some sort of translation glitch in the move from CS3 to CS2.

LR2 and importing keywords from CS3 Bridge

I've just started a 30 day LR trial and need some guidance, please, on successfully importing keywords from CS3 Bridge so that the complete heirarchy survives intact.
I've just imported the keywords to LR2 and found the heirarchy is mostly destroyed.
Also, Bridge allows you put a keyword inside "[ ]" (square brackets) if you want/need that word in the heirarchy but do not want it to be copied to the metadata. After importing to LR2, all the square brackets have gone.
I've imported some photos into LR2 but, when I look at their keywords, all the words which were within square brackets (and so not visible in the metadata in Bridge) are now visible in the metadata in LR2.
Anyone found a solution to this, please? I really don't want to have to re-keyword everything if there's another way.
Thanks, John Walmsley

Ginger
I ran a test for you. Started up my old computer that has windows XP OS. Took a photo and added a keyword by right clicking as your previous post outlined. I then looked at photo in Bridge CS3 on old machine. There was no keyword. Copied to flash drive and looked at photo on Vista computer with Bridge CS3. Still no keyword. Ran a search on Vista advanced for keyword on flash drive, and it gave a hit.
So my conclusion is that the keyword is there, but Bridge does not read the XP generated keyword. It will read a keyword generated by same method in Vista. Don't know what else to suggest. Don't have CS4 so do not know it that works or not.
Perhaps with these clues someone else can figure it out.
Good luck

Problem importing actions from CS3 to CS6

Hi, I have just installed CS6 and need some actions that I made in CS3 and earlier.
Info that I read on support sited said that I should be able to import them.
I have tried the edit import actions menu.
I have tried dragging the old action set to the new version.
All to no avail.
Tried the online live help and got no where.
What I would like to try next is to instal CS4 and see if I can import the action set from CS3 and then onwards from CS4 to CS6
However the support person could not give me a link to download CS4......
Any help greatly appreciated as I really need my old actions and CS6 is a useless to me without them!

You need to load them into Photoshop to use them. Their save files can be any where on your system. Once loaded they are copied into your user id Photoshop preferences. Photoshop load no action set on its one. The default set is in Adobe default set of preferences. This is the only set in the Photoshop default Actions Palette. The action set listed in the action palette's fly-out menu are the one in Adobe Presets Actions and perhaps ones you copied into there or save into a folder Adobe set up for you user id for the current release of Photoshop your using. My advice is do not save any of your actions sets into any Adobe folder. Instead save them into a folder like "My Photoshop Actions" load them from there too or drag an drop them onto Photoshop. Once loaded as I wrote above they get copied into your user id Photoshop preferences. And will be in the Actions Palette when you shutdown Photoshop and re open Photoshop.
Photoshop does not import actions you must load them one way or an other.

How to import actions from CS3 to CS4?

I had a folder full of self-created actions in CS3.
Now that I've installed CS4 I see they did not make the transition during install.
How do I get them imported into CS4?
I can't seem to find them in any Library folders, nor can I get CS3 to run any more now that CS4 is installed.
Any pointers for someone a step above neophyte ?
Vince

Actions are in the PS folder, hope you did not toss the CS3 folder.
From the actions pallet fly out menu select Load selections and navigate to the old PS folder / Presets / Actions or Photoshop Actions (depending on the version) and select the set you want to load.
Or drag them from the old folder to the new folder, they should show up at the bottom of the fly out menu.
This and the other presets are a good thing to backup, BTW !

Saving Down from CS3 to CS2

I can't seem to save my CS3 document in a way for a CS2 user to open. I go to export and save as indesign interchange. What am I doing wrong. Thanks for any help!!

What are you doing after you export? What are you sending? What is the
problem the CS2 user is having? Is the CS2 user fully patched to 4.0.5?

Importing songs from cd to itunes problems

Hi, I am quite new to itunes but since using them a few months ago I had no trouble importing my cds. Now I am unable to do this. It takes about 15 minutes to download 00.01 minute then it will stop!! I have tried various cds but I get the same result each time. My computer did go away to be repaired recently and this has been since it came back but it was a problem with the motherboard and I have no idea if there is a connection. I am able to purchase itunes and I ran a check on itunes and it all appears fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for answering. How would I find that out? When I put a cd in it goes straight to iTunes. I am not a very technical person but had an idea that it may be something to do with the cd/dvd driver but am unsure how to find that out.

IPhoto won't import photos from iPhone

Hi - using a MBP 2.2, Leopard, iLife 08 and an 8gb iPhone. iPhoto used to import photos from the iPhone no problem - now it won't import it at all. Says it's an unreadable file (though a normal jpg).
What gives? Same issue trying to import two jpg's rec'd via email (and dragged to my desktop).
Any suggestions?

I have this problem now. I have MacOS 10.5.1, iPhoto '08, and iPhone running 1.1.2.
In my "camera roll" on the iPhone are 260 photos, all the pics I have taken since I got the phone. I imported some of them weeks ago with no problems into iPhoto. But now iPhoto can't import anything from the iPhone.
iPhoto does know there are photos on the phone, because there is set of blank thumbnail squares that I can select to import. When I look at the photo info, I can see the file name, size, date, but all the other info is missing or incorrect. It doesn't have camera maker or model. Most worrying though is the height and width of the pictures are zero.
I am thinking that there is some cache file on the phone that got corrupted somehow. Resetting to factory settings might help, but I really don't want to lose all the photos that I took from the holidays.
I've tried the above suggestions and no avail: logged out and into the .Mac account; powered down the phone; reset the iSync history (interestingly, iSync does not recognize my phone when I do a device scan).
I did try removing some stuff to make room, but still no dice.

IMovie not importing videos from iPhoto

I am trying to import videos from iPhoto into iMovie. It is not bringing in ( i.e. creating thumbnails for) anything after Dec 2010. The videos all show up in iPhoto and they were shot with an iPhone. Is there a date range set somewhere that I need to change. I can not even get them if I specifically try and import them one at a time through File-Import-Movies. When I try this method it lets me select the videos, but they still don't show up in my video thumbnails. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Other info:
OSX 10.8.3 on a 2012 iMac
iMovie 11 9.0.8

I open up iMovie and it then imports movies from iPhoto. The problem is it is missing several videos. When I select import video it imports those missing files, so I know it's not a file format issue... Anyone else seen this? Any suggestions on how to get ALL my videos into iMovie?
iPhoto will import any file that can be played in the QT Player (i.e., that is "playback" compatible). On the other hand, iMovie '08 will only import files that it can edit -- i.e. that are "edit" compatible. (Would you really want to waste your time importing files only to find that you can't do anything with them once they are "in" the application?) Your solution is to convert non-edit compatible files to compression formats that are editable -- primarily DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264. You should also note that both audio and video content must be edit compatible. For instance, many AVI files contain M-JPEG video which can be edited along with ADPCM audio which cannot be edited and so such files will not import.

CS2 INX to CS5.5 conversion problem

When exporting my CS2 layouts as INX files and open them in CS5.5 this happens:
The page on the left is the CS2 doc (how it should look), the page on the right is the INX opened in CS5.5. (Note how the background tint has also changed)
The reason for exporting as INX was to try and get round an ongoing problem of overset text on certain columns when exporting as IDML in CS5.5 (from converted CS2 docs)
Hope this makes sense!
Any advice as to why this might be happening much appreciated....
Thank you

(By the way, Kit's other post isText flow problem).
Bob noted:
Just so everyone’s clear the issue was originally a problem with InCopy text flow being different than the InDesign file. I advised Kit to make sure that all of the stories have been recomposed before exporting to InCopy and there were two methods discussed. Export to INX from CS2 and open that in CS5.5 or open the INDD file in CS5.5 and export as IDML and open that.
This forces all stories to recompose at once. The other method was to use the KBSC to do it but I felt getting rid of any other extraneous junk would be taken care of by exporting to INX/IDML.
I'm not 100% sure that doing the INX export is the best way to go.
There are some ... rough edges in InDesign's conversion between different versions, and the rough edges are different with INX/IDML export/import than they are with CS2 -> CS5.5. (Not necessarily better...but different.)
You might find that simply forcing CS5.5 to do a recomposition of all text is better. As Bob said (in the other thread), you can use the keyboard shortcut Cmd-Alt/Opt-Slash (/). Or alternatively, use Quick Apply: Cmd-Enter (or Control-Center), and type it in and select it:
Alternatively, you could export to IDML from CS5.5 (rather than INX from CS2).
I would expect that to give you fewer rough edges (but your milage may vary).

Export a CS3 InD .inx file in your CS2 for my CS? Please?

it is my understanding that to open an .inx file from CS3 in CS it must first be opened and exported as an .inx in CS2. Correct? If so, is there anyone out there with CS2 who would be willing to export a file for me? I greatly appreciate your help!
Also, this process is absolutely silly. SILLY.

Also, this process is absolutely silly. SILLY.
Correct. Downgrading a document is generally a bad idea -- you have no control over what gets converted and what gets to be left out. I, for one, have never ever used it, so for my part Adobe could have spared them the headache and left the entire function out.
(I did enjoy creating new documents from scratch, writing an INX and importing that. Sadly, IDML -- its Next Gen successor -- is too complicated for a quick-and-dirty job.)

Importing Markers from Pr / Sb / Ae CS3

I saw that 'Dools' said they figured out how to import
markers from Premiere CS3 into Flash CS3 but I still am unable to
see these markers transfer. I have tried exporting an FLV file from
Premiere with info in the Chapter field. But I don't see any cue
points in the file when I bring it into Flash. I have also tried
Soundbooth. Soundbooth does created an actual xml file but still I
don't see the corresponding cue points in Flash and would really
appreciate any tips from those that have made it work. All of the
manuals mention the capability but don't go much further.
I'm using Premium Production CS3 on Windows.
Thanks a lot,
-Scott

Here's some sample Actionscript 2.0 code (Sorry, haven't
updated it for AS3 yet) that will let you verify external XML cue
points in your Soundbooth or Premiere exported video:
Actionscript 2.0 based Flash Cue Point Data Exchange
Demonstration
Requires:
- FLVPlayback component on the Stage with an instance name of
my_FLVPlybk
- Dynamic Text Field on the Stage with an instance name of
currentCuePoint
- Cue Point XML file
var myCues:XML = new XML(); //Create XML Object
var curCueTime:Number = 0; //Set current cue point to 0
var curCueName:String = ""; //Set current cue point name to
myCues.ignoreWhite = true; //Ignore Whitespace in XML file
First, setup the onLoad routine to parse the cue file.
The file being loaded is a cue points XML file exported from
Adobe Soundbooth.
The example assumes it's relative to the swf but could also
be loaded using
http:// or file:// */
myCues.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
convertCues(myCues); // Function located at end of script
myCues.load("darjeeling_external.flv_markers.xml"); //change
these filenames
my_FLVPlybk.contentPath = "darjeeling_external.flv"; // to
match your own
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
trace("Cue Point \"" + eventObject.info.name + "\" fired at:
" + eventObject.info.time+ " (type: " + eventObject.info.type+")");
currentCuePoint.text = (eventObject.info.time + " seconds:
Cue Point \"" + eventObject.info.name + "\" (type: " +
eventObject.info.type+")");
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("cuePoint", listenerObject);
function convertCues(cueFile) {
for (i=0; i < cueFile.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {
curCueTime = (Number(cueFile.firstChild.childNodes
.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue)/1000);
curCueName =
cueFile.firstChild.childNodes.firstChild.nextSibling.nextSibling.firstChild.nodeValue;
trace("Adding Cue " + i + " at time: " + curCueTime + "
named: \"" + curCueName + "\"");
my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(curCueTime, curCueName);
Here's a similar block of code, but to display embedded cue
points in your FLV files:
Actionscript 2.0 based Flash Cue Point Data Exchange
Demonstration
Requires:
- FLVPlayback component on the Stage with an instance name of
my_FLVPlybk
- Dynamic Text Field on the Stage with an instance name of
currentCuePoint
var myCues:XML = new XML(); //Create XML Object
var curCueTime:Number = 0; //Set current cue point to 0
var curCueName:String = ""; //Set current cue point name to
my_FLVPlybk.contentPath = "darjeeling_embedded.flv";
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
trace("Cue Point \"" + eventObject.info.name + "\" fired at:
" + eventObject.info.time+ " (type: " + eventObject.info.type+")");
currentCuePoint.text = (eventObject.info.time + " seconds:
Cue Point \"" + eventObject.info.name + "\" (type: " +
eventObject.info.type+")");
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("cuePoint", listenerObject);
There is a known bug in Adobe Media Encoder that prevents cue
points from being embedded in an audio-only FLV. It isn't clear
that's the case you're seeing, but if you disabled video export
when you created the FLV, that may explain the problem you're
seeing.

If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.
