InDesign CC InDesign CS6

Is  there any 'easy' way to convert CC docs back to CS6 other than saving to .idml? Are there any services online that do this?
I'm discontinuing my CC subscription in two months and have several hundred files that I want to be able to use with CS6... looking for an easy way to do this (if there is one!) ;-(
Might there be a script or action that could accomplish this?

@Peter – there is a script for this purpose:

Batch-process (convert/export) documents (CS3 and later)

I did not test it with InDesign CC, but it should work…

  • If I have the creative cloud package which has Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator CS6, do I have to pay to again to get the CC 2014 version?

    It really depends on which subscription plan you are signed up to.  Normally whichever programs are available thru your subscription are listed for you to install in the CC desktop manager application.  If you do not see certain programs listed it might be because your machine does not meet the system requirements for them... that is normally what happens with the manager.

  • Running OS 10.6.8 on a 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 Mac can I upgrade from Indesign CS5 to CS6?

    Running OS 10.6.8 on a 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 Mac can I upgrade from Indesign CS5 to CS6?

    They do, but what happens when the client(s) move to CC? Of course doing
    so opens a new can of worms for you since 10.6.8 is unsupported for
    anything later than CS6.
    You should start budgeting for some upgrades sooner rather than later.

  • Indesign CS5 and CS6 crashing

    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.

  • Adobe InDesign Middle Eastern CS6

    Hi
    Where is the link to Adobe InDesign Middle Eastern CS6 Trial Download?
    Thank you

    There are a lot of easy scripting solutions.
    You can type your hebrew forward and then select it and then run this script
    app.selection[0].contents=app.selection[0].contents.split("").reverse().join("")
    before
    after
    There are better ways of doing this but I'm scared Harb's will beat me up or even worse not answer my questions on the forum so you should go for In-Tools plug in.
    It seems that one can get creative cloud in Israel now and if not it must be coming very soon as the adobe Israel site is full of it.
    If you have a US, UK etc. address then you can for sure sucribe to it from Israel.

  • The CS6 trial version converted ALL my InDesign files to CS6!!

    The CS6 trial version converted ALL my InDesign files to CS6!!  Is there any way to get them all back to CS5.  Right now I'm incompatable with everyone I work with.  I don't want to save every file back to .IDMl when working with vendors and other designers.

    CS6 only converted any documents you opened and saved. CS6 is likely associated with indd files, but that is a separate issue. Try opening a file you have not saved from CS6 by first starting CS5 and opening that file from the File | Open menu in CS5.

  • Can you download different indesign animation presets CS6?

    can you download different indesign animation presets CS6? to add or replace the originals?

    I believe you can import them from Flash Professional CS6. I've never done it, however. From the Animation panel menu, there's a Manage Preset command. You're supposed to be able to load motion presets from Flash.

  • My Indesign and Photoshop CS6 are telling me not enough memory

    I have the new iMac with a 3.11 TB fusion hard-drive and 16 G of memory. My Indesign and Photoshop CS6 are giving me low memory warnings and are very sluggish. According to everything I have found there should be no reason for this. So far it is slower then my old mac pro which I used CS3 on.  I realize that the new CS is a RAM hog but what I have should be more then enough to build a half page ad with 22 placed photos or a game-board which is mostly vector art without it acting up. Has anyone else had this issue. Is there a way to allocate more memory to these programs?

    You know Mr. Mylenium, the more I think about the more I don't want you to explain yourself unless you can be helpful. The reason I try to avoid using these forums is precisely because of answers like yours. Completely snide and unhelpful. I have been doing graphic design for 14 years now and have always used macs. One of my frustrations is that they are not as easy to get into as they used to be. That being said, I am a designer. I think with the creative side of my brain not the technical. If you cannot be helpful then please don't answer. I have no time for that kind of stuff.
    One more thing... just in case it helps you give an actual answer (yes my snidish frustrated side is definitely coming out right now)... the programs did not start out slow. I've had this since January and last month is when it started. Because of my many years of experience I am thinking that it probably has to do with some incompatible upgrade.

  • Indesign-incopy-indesign workflow problem

    sorry for my bad english :)
    i hope someone can help me, i have no more ideas ...
    this is the problem in our indesign-incopy-indesign work flow:
    only the indesign user, which has created the indesign file (with the incopy-links) can read the content pasted via incopy.
    every other indesign user (who hasn't anything to do with the creation of the indesign-file) can't see the content (which is pasted via incopy).
    changes done with indesign are viewable for everyone!
    there are any problems with the linkage, i would guess ...
    if you change the links for every single text-part manually (to the correct location on the version cue server), there are no more problems ...
    the linkage is changed like this:
    doesn't work:
    \\Home-server\home-mydocs\AndererUser\Version Cue\DataSheets\fileX...
    works:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Ich\My Documents\Version Cue\DataSheets\fileX...
    it also works for everyone, after the first indesign user (which has created the file) has opened the indesign-file, updated the incopy links and checked the file in.
    everyone has admin-rights, the project is shared ...

    Hi Ruffus,
    Unfortunately different versions of InDesign and InCopy do not work well with each other. Newer versions of the program should be able to open older files, but they cannot save backwards. I am not sure what is causing the errors with the newer versions of InCopy however.
    Are you able to open the CS6 InCopy files on your computers?

  • I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    Hello waitingone,
    please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
    1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
    2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
    3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
    4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
    5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
    6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
    7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
    Good luck!
    Hans-Günter

  • Where can I find a patch for Indesign and Acrobat cs6 for mac retina display?

    I have found the patch for screen resolution for photoshop, but the illustrator patch says it is not compatible and I cannot locate one for in-design (my primary program) or Acrobat. There must be a patch, right? Or else whats the point of it?

    The patch is upgrading to InDesign CC, which requires an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. Sorry.
    There is no Acrobat CS6. The last version is Acrobat XI which was created too late to include support for Retina Display. It will probably be in the next version of Acrobat.
    Creating "patches" for Retina Display are much more engineering intensive than you would expect. In the case of InDesign, it had to be completed in the context of moving to becoming a 64 bit application and moving application development from Carbon to Cocoa (a required move on the Mac accomplished finally in InDesign CC).

  • Colour change in identically exported PDFs: InDesign CS5 to CS6

    Artwork turns out with a greener hue in a PDF Print document exported using InDesign CS6 trial software that has ruined a whole print run.
    This catalogue has been printed in past years using CS4 and CS5 software, each time the colours in the exported PDF proof, PDF Print file and InDesign files being accurate and matching perfectly.
    This time I used a trial of InDesign CS6 - Importing the same mother file as previous years and working on the document. When exporting the document however, despite using identical settings to export PDF files in the past, the exported PDFs turn out with a greener hue than the previous CS5 PDFs. I trialed a few different kinds of colour conversions in the PDF export window (i.e. 'no conversion' to 'convert to destination - RGB') just to see what happened -  and all turned out with the same result. The colour change is small but this was exxaggerated at print and as a result the colours
    looked drastically different from the catalogue the year before. Printing aside, (as it's a whole other ballgame), it came down to this slight PDF colour change.
    I'm wondering if anyone can help explain this - does CS6 handle colour exporting differently to CS5?

    Hi Eugene,
    Looking up the settings, they say the following:
    InDesign CS5: Unsynchronised "settings are not synchronised for consistent colour"  (odd; CS5 version is where the file exported with accurate colours)
    InDesign CS6: Synchronised "using the same colour settings for consistent colour management"   (CS6 version exported with a colour change)
    Another thing I've realised that might be an issue:
    The product images are still in RGB format (supplied by the photographer), where everything else in the artwork is in CMYK format. I've run a test export where I've converted everything to CMYK and exported it to a PDF.
    The results:
    InDesign CS5: Same colours consistently on both PDFs with RGB images and with all CMYK images.
    InDesign CS6: Green hue across PDF with RGB images in it, Correct colours in PDF with all CMYK images.
    So is this where the problem lies? The CS6 software having Synchronised colour settings shows a colour change when RGB photos are exported to PDF?
    Let me know your thoughts...
