InDesign CC and CS6 ... compatibility?

Good Day. I have a question: one of my Clients has migrated to InDesign Creative Cloud. I'm running InDesign CS5.5. If I upgrade to CS6, will files be easily shared back and forth between CC and CS6, without having to resort to IDML files when going from CC to CS6? Please advise ... thanks!

You have to save the file to IDML in order to open it in CS6. If you had broken link that was save in CC, once you save the file to IDML, you would not be able to see the preview.

Indesign CS5 and CS6 crashing

OSX 10.7.5
Working in Indesign CS5 and CS6 on the same computer. Opening multiple different documents, it will crash either while browsing the file, closing, or saving at random intervals.

Using Universal Type Server 3 client for fonts. I tried doing a synchronize and reset, and reactivating all of the fonts, but this did not help.

Is Universal Type Server updated to the latest version? Is InDesign the only program you're facing issues with? Are you working with the document that is located in a network location? Try saving the file locally to your computer and see if you can replicate the crash. Clean the InDesign cache location by dragging the en_US folder from the following location: Macintosh HD/Users/Username/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/version 7.0 or version 8.0/ for both CS5 and CS6. If you can't see the Library, then use the Go menu of the Finder holding down the Alt key on the keyboard to make the Library visible inside the Go menu and navigate to it that way.
Once you've cleaned the cache, re-launch InDesign and open your document to edit. Do not activate all fonts using the UTS, just activate the fonts that you used in your document to test for crash. If ID still crashes, then replace fonts by local fonts and test for crash.
Change the Display performance settings from Preferences to Fast for both Options panel and Adjust view settings panel and test for crash.

Both Indesign CS3 and CS6 installed on the same PC?

Is it possible to have two Indesign versions [CS3 and CS6] installed on one desktop PC [running Windows XP]?
I would only use one version at a time. The problem is I’ve been working with [and would like to continue working with] freelancers who still use CS3; but I’ll soon be hiring others who have migrated to CS6.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me on this question.

Thanks for the reply. I’m far from being a sophisticated user of Indesign. I do export .indd files to PDF on occasion. As for colors, I occasionally use the swatch tool, although I couldn’t tell you the difference between RGB and CYMK. Hopefully I could make adjustments to the CS3 version for any slight changes incurred by installing CS6 on the same PC.

InDesign CS5 and CS6 Scripting Changes/Incompatibilities

I'm new to InDesign scripting and need to write a very complex Javascript for InDesign using the Toolkit. My concerns are if CS5/5.5 users will be able to run the script written for CS6. Are there known incompatibilities with the different releases? If so, where can I find a document to compare the differences. I will probably need to support both CS5 and CS6 (and anything in between), so a possibly solution may be to build for CS5, but if I do, will I be missing out on any key new features of CS6?

There are differences from 1 DOM version to another and they can and will break your script if you haven't designed it to handle them. For example:
If you want to use script labels like me (because they are awesome) the following will break if you use CS5 or later:
app.activeDocument.pageItems.item("myLabel").remove();
So you'd have to force the DOM to V6.0. But when doing so remember to revert back to the original version after you're done or you'll create bigger problems. This can be done like this:
app.scriptPreferences.version = 6.0; // CS4's DOM version
app.activeDocument.pageItems.item("myLabel").remove();
app.scriptPreferences.version = 10.2; // Current CC DOM version
This is very inconvenient (for me at least), so I wrap functions that require DOM changes with a custom version changer to handle this for me. In regards to a list of incompatibilities? Not sure, maybe someone here has one, I know Jongware has a website with all the DOM changes from 1 version to another. This can be found here:

Hope this helps.

Line thickness problem in indesign CS5 and CS6

I use indesign CS5 and many short lines of 0.5 point in my project.
After export to pdf (press) everything seems correct. After rip process from printer office in compressed file lines seems to have different thickness even on large zoom (400%).
High quality pdf from rip prepared by printer office still shows small differences in thickness. Lines are in one solid color in my project.
What is the source of this problem? 0.5 point ines seems not extremely thin.
If the line is not sharp in pdf will it be not sharp in press?

I wouldn't go off what I see on screen. I'd be asking the printer for a hi-res proof. If that's not satisfactory they could run a test on offcuts on another print job to see where the problem lies.
One reason for different linethickness could be that the lines are interacting with transparent areas, giving the appearance of thicker, or could be physically changing the width by a few decimals.
I'd try putting any of the thin lines on their own layer - and perhaps try different PDF compatibilities, from PDF 1.3 to PDF 1.4 etc.

Save InDesign CS5 and CS6, js

Hi,
I need to save InDesign CS5 files as CS6 and overwrite the original, but I am not getting the save line correctly:
myDoc.save(myDocPath+"/"+myDocName, indesign-8.0, true);
What am I don't wrong?
Thank you.
Yulia

Wow - I never noticed that a Converted doc does not have a valid name OR a valid fullName, unless it has been Saved once -- only the filePath is valid! (So a Converted doc behaves pretty much like a New Untitled doc.)
Off-hand, I don't see any other way to get the original doc name of a just-Converted doc.
But why not have the script open the ID CS5 document in ID CS6? ... then you can grab the File or path of the document before it is even open.
You must have a lot of documents to convert anyway, right? Otherwise you wouldn't need a script. So it seems like what you really want is something like a script that converts all of the CS5 documents in a folder to CS6. If so, it is not a very hard script to write, and I'll bet that someone has one already laying around...

CS5 and CS6 compatibility

Can a Mac with CS5 DP and a Mac with CS6 D&WP share files back and forth, or do they need to have the same version installed (downgrade CS6 to CS5)?
Situation:
I have one machine with CS5 Design Premium installed. I have another machine with CS3 Design Premium installed. I need them both to be able share production files back and forth. I have just purchased an upgraded CS6 license, but am curious if it'd be better to install CS5 with this license instead. I didn't want to pay the extra money to upgrade the CS5 to CS6.

You might be able to share Photoshop and Illustrator files as long as you don't use very new Illustrator features. You can save AI files backward a version or two without many problems.
InDesign files really require the same version. You can save backward from InDesign CS6 as far back as CS4, but you might get reflow between versions if you tried to to interchange files on a regular basis.

Cc and cs6 compatability

Hope you can help.
I need to find out which cc programs are backward compatible with cs6 and vice versa
Many thanks
Tina

Hi Tina,
Jeff's right, it will vary by application... For most CC apps you can export back to older versions including CS6. See this CC file compatibility guide for more details on each tool, and tips for making it work.

Hyperlink issues in InDesign CS5 and CS6

This might be obvious, but it's driving me insane. I'm highlighting text and linking to external URL's from InDesign. In InDesign it seems to keep rewriting the hyperlinks? When I highlight and change it to a specific URL, I'll highlight another one and then the previous hyperlink goes to another URL in my hyperlinks list? Does this make sense? Anyone else have this problem? I'm just trying to build a resume and link to websites. Microsoft Word does this fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gerry

Works fine for me, might be the process of how you create the links. My process is simple, I highlight the text "One", and then in the URL: box type in the website then hit return when done.
Thinking this thorugh some more, I believe you may be not selecting the entire hyperlink use "Go To Source" to select the link entirely.

Is after effects cc and cs6 compatable

I cant open files from after effects cc in after effects cs6. Please help

You have to use After Effects CC to save as CS6.
If they're saved as CC 2014, you have to open it in CC 2014, Save as CC, open it in CC, save as CS6.

I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling CS5 - with updates, as well setting preferences back to default.
Any recommendations to resolve this issue would be great. Thanks!

I suppose the obvious solution is train users to close files before they close the application.
All kidding aside, the user test says it's either a damaged installation, or a system configuration/software conflict issue. Reinstalling might fix it if it's a damaged install, but won't help for configuationor software conflict. Unfortunately, Windows crash logs are pretty useless as far as diagnosing something like this, so it comes down to best guess and trial and error. You might want to turn off stuff in MSConfig and see if the crashing stops.

When I save a CS6 InDesign file as an .idml file InDesign crashes and sends a report to Adobe.

When I save a CS6 InDesign file as an .idml file InDesign crashes and sends a report to Adobe.
When I restart InDesign the .idml file is in the directory as well as a locked InDesign file.
I cannot open the .idml file, instead I get the message:
Cannot open "" file. Adobe InDesign maynot support the file format,
a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing,
or the file may be open in another location.
I can however open an InDesign .idml file that was saved from InDesign CC software.
InDesign CC software is also unable to open the .idml file that I created in CS6.

It seems to be a corrupted IDML file. Does it happen with every file or only with that one.
What is the content of that file? Did you embed images or graphics or did you ink them? Size?
Maybe that this would help you: Re: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.

InDesign CS5.5 and CS6 Hang while opening document

hello,
I have the following problem:
Indesign CS5.5 CS6 and hang up several times a day when opening documents on. the user can not make more in the program and must kill the process. After reopening the document opens without problems (probably the recovery file). I have tried all known solutions (delete Preferences, user with admin privileges, delete caches, safe boot, ...)
here a hang report, which meanwhile has been created.
InDesign CS6 hang report - Pastebin.com
Can anyone see something in it and help me?
