Indesign cs5 trial

Hello
I have CS4 and am wanting to try CS5 for the ipad app creation, as this would be the only reason I would upgrade to CS5 at the moment.
I have downloaded the trial version on Adobe indesign CS5.5 but having watched the adobe TV on how to create a docment. it says i need to open Adobe Digital Content Bundler
Where do i find this?
I want to make sure this all works before upgrade to this version
Thanks

You’re looking at a very old video. That was a prerelease tool that no longer exists.
This is not the place to ask about this. There is a dedicated DPS forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/dps

  • Cannot run InDesign CS5 trial

    I downloaded the InDesign CS5 trial.  It downloaded fien in Mozilla Firefox and when it begins to go through the installation process, it tells me I do not meet the standard requirements. I downloaded InDesign to run the program anyways and upon opening the program, it immediately errors and quits.
    I am running Mac OS 10.6.7.  I would like to use the trial until CS 5.5 is available for upgrade, but I cannot figure out what I am missing to get the trial to run.  Specs for my computer are below:
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name: MacBook  Pro
      Model Identifier: MacBookPro1,1
      Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
      Processor Speed: 2 GHz
      Number Of Processors: 1
       Total Number Of Cores: 2
      L2 Cache: 2 MB
      Memory: 1.5  GB
      Bus Speed: 667 MHz
      Boot ROM Version: MBP11.0055.B08
      SMC Version (system): 1.2f10

      Hardware UUID: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-0016CB9CB429
      Sudden Motion Sensor:

    Can you connect it with a cable, at least temporarily until ID starts the first time? Wireless is really a network printer, and ID can be temperamental about network printers as the default.

  • Installing InDesign CS5 Trial

    Hi All
    I'm tryting to install the InDesign CS5 trial, every thing works OK right up untill it starts copying the files, as which point I get lots of errors all seeming to relate to a 64bit OS.
    Im running 32bit Vista OS with the latest updates and service pack installed.
    Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this issue?
    Thanks

  • Help with importing PDF to Indesign CS5 trial version

    Hello: I am in a bit of a quandry. I have numerous PDF's that I want to convert to Epub. I called Adobe and asked them what program I would need to do this and they said InDesign CS5 so I downloaded the trial version to check it out. The problem is, that in the trial version there is no "place" command, which is how I would import the PDF. So I am left unable to run a test with this software and don't want to buy a program that I can't confirm. Any ideas or work arounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
    Krista

    The trial version of InDesign certainly does not have any features disabled. You should be able to place pages from a PDF file into an InDesign document.
    File=>Place or Ctrl-D should yield a file dialog for you to select a file to place. Of course, you must already have opened an existing file or created a new file.

  • Indesign CS5 trial installation problems

    Hi I have downloaded (two separate downloads and two separate pc's) and neither will activate the trial so we can evaluate if indesign will meet our needs.  Neither PC will activate the trial and other posts complain of similar issues.  There are the log files that other posts were requested to send but I can't see how to upload them with this post.  Please help as we will be upgrading from CS2 if CS5 opens the files we have been sent

    Hi Guys,
    Thanks for trying to help us.  The issue is not that we are evaluating the product based on CS Live, it is that during the install process we encounter errors (including messages on screen relating to unable to start CS Live Subscription) but primarily that after the installation appears to complete, If we open Indesign we get a message box saying this product is incorrectly licensed and will now exite.  Then the Trial changes from 30 days to 0.
    Any help would be appreciated.  I am sure that Indesign CS5 will open the files we require but I would like to make sure before we invest the money by verifying it with the trial.
    Cheers

  • Problem with InDesign CS5 trial

    I just downloaded and installed the International English version of InDesign CS5. When I start the program I get the Adobe Software License Agreement screen. I click Accept, the screen goes away, then it comes back again. I cannot get the program to start - just stuck at this Agreement (which I already agreed to when I downloaded the thing).
    Help!

    Do you have an active internet connection? This sounds off the wall, but is your default printer a lcoal printer, and is it turned on?

  • Indesign cs5 Trial Download not working.

    Hey,
    Ive downloaded the trial version of Indesign but when i try to open it up it asks me to log into my adobe account, so i put in all my details, it authenticates my Adobe ID then comes back at me and says "Could not start your Adobe CS Live Subscription at this time, please try again later." it contiues to open up InDesign and then pops up with a window saying "Adobe Indesign is not licensed properly and will not quit."
    Please Help me! it doesn't matter how often i try i keep gettin the same result.
    Thanks Anah

    There should be a "skip this step" option if you look closely during the install.
    That said, it kind of sounds like you got the installer to finish, so reinstalling the trial may not be an option. CS Live would only be available for a paid license...
    Can you post a screen shot of the error message? Use the camera icon to embed it in a post:

  • Using Lightroom and Indesign CS5

    Hi,
    I used in the past Indesign CS3 to create a book.  It went fairly well.  that was before I started using Lightroom, which now holds my complete catalogue, edits, etc.
    I've recently proceeded to create Collections in Lightroom for three books I want to start working on.  I just downloaded Indesign CS5 trial.  I am wondering if there is Lightroom support in Indesign CS5?  I'd really want to have the ability to import photos directly from Lightroom without having to export them in a specific folder to work in Indesign.  It seems to me it would be a waste of disk space since exporting files would simply create duplicates; no to mention I'd need to re-export them every time I would create modifications to the files in Lightroom...
    I think this is a feature that has been requested here and there from Indesign users in CS4?
    Thanks,
    Martin

    The point of RAW or DNG is, as the name implies, is to create the digital equivalent of a "negative". A format where the original camera data is preserved and can be "developed" later—the development settings are not actually applied until the file is converted. The advantage of the format is obvious when you take a shot with the wrong camera settings.
    There's nothing forcing you to use the digital negative workflow. You could shoot an image format like .jpeg and use LR for content management and ID's Mini Bridge panel for placing.
    There isn't much point in making CMYK conversions in PS—InDesign is capable of making the same color managed conversion on export or print.

  • InDesign CS5 and InCopy CS3

    I work at a weekly newspaper, and we have been using and InDesign/InCopy workflow for several years. The Reporters use InDesign CS2 (never did get around to installing the CS3 upgrades we bought because at first the computers they use wouldn't handle it, and after the computer upgrades got done all around, no one ever bothered). After the stories are written, the editor reviews them in InCopy, then releases them to the page designers who are now working in InDesign CS3 as part of Standard and Premium Suites.
    We are considering upgrading to InDesign CS5, but absolutely NONE of the reporters or the editor needs (or will ever use) the listed improvements included in InCopy CS5. Since there are nine InCopy products in the office, and as everyone knows the economy sucks - especially for PRINTED NEWSPAPERS these days, we really hate to have to upgrade just for upgrades sake.
    I have downloaded InDesign CS5 trial to check if our CS3 files will open and work in it, after reading an article published in the Washington Newspaper, a publication put out by the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association, reported that one of the state's newspapers happily upgraded to CS5 and had a nightmare of problems just opening their CS4 files. This has my editor very nervious about us upgrading. So... I'm testing it out, and I can't place, then open and edit our CS3 Incopy Files. I get a message that says "this story needs toa be converted to "InCopy Document" format to edit it. I've saved it in InCopy CS3 to both incx and incd formats, and both receive the error. Has Adobe made simple InCopy files incompatible with InDesign? I can import files from just about everywhere BUT InCopy??? The Sister Program?
    Please advise a simple work around, or I'll bet our upgrade is totally put off.

    The Reflector

    Bob,
    I have to feel that you aren't really reading my posts. While I did mention that our reporters and editor lessentially use InCopy for a word processing program, I did specifically mention in my last post that we use the program for exactly what it was originally intended, for reporters to write and edit, for designers to layout the text, and for writers/and or correction people to get into the files and fix problems - up until the last minute, so yes, we do need to use InCopy, in the manner we were told it was developed for. We don't use it for viewing layouts - that's what InDesign is for.
    PLUS, none of our reporters have time, inclination or need to view the layout as it appears in InDesign. If they did, we'd get InDesign for them. They are busy investigating and writing stories, they don't have time to learn even the basics of layout, and frankly, they don't even want to. The one single reporter that is interested has learned some of the basics of InDesign, but she doesn't use it on a regular basis, and dosn't need or want to view the pages. She does need and want to edit a story occasionally even after it's been placed into the layout, but she want's to view it as the same copy she wrote, so she can do it quickly, not as a page layout she has to hunt thru it and every other story on the page to find the problem.
    I don't mind Adobe stopping selling older versions - don't blame them at all on that one - if you're buying a new product - go buy the latest and greatest. If the version didn't matter, you wouldn't have to worry if about matching your other versions and you wouldn't need to find an old version. But why BUILD IN obselecense in a PART of a system within just a couple of years. We're using CS3 InDesign, yes, but we bought it just shortly before they came out with CS4. If we'd known when the release would be (we don't track the industry close enough to be checking on when release dates are "expected" to be) we'd have probably waited the 4 months and upgraded to that. But time wise, we haven't had the CS3 THAT long, so I don't go along with the "two versions back is too old" theory.
    I'm afraid I don't quite see why the text fit would change from one version to another when the fit is based on font, text size, etc. And that doesn't change, Times Roman, 10.5 point on 10.7 leading...  And as far as split/span/balanced column features and mutiple page sizes - those aren't going to affect our work flow at all. All we need is the ability to write text, and edit that text from other desks besides the designers, as well as the designers being able to open the file to fix headline size in InDesign.
    As for the reporters getting the trial version and trying it out - did you miss where I mentioned that we provided CS3 to all of them, and pretty much none of them bothered to load it onto their computers??? They don't want any bells and whistles. They want to keep going as they are going.
    If they wanted to go to the latest and greatest - it'd wouldnt' be an issue - but they don't need or want it, why should they be forced to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading?
    And that also brings up the issue, when we buy those 7 versions that aren't going on computers with InDesign (and the whole rest of the Standard and Design Suites) who wants to bet me that it's gonna take more hard drive space, more ram, and there's a huge potential that it ain't even going to fit on their computers and still leave room for it to think?
    And just one other though - just because backwards incompatibility is a fact of life in today's programs - does that make it good or right?
    What this basically means, with no specific NEED for the designers to upgrade to InDesign CS5, and the requirement that if they do we'll have to upgrade not only the reporter's versions of InCopy AND most probably, their computers, we will probably put off upgrading and wait another year and a half for CS6.

  • Can not access trial version of indesign cs5

    hello everyone.
    i currently own a version of indesign cs3, and downloaded the cs5 trial version...
    when i install, it asks  "would you like to install as trial?"
    i say  "yes"
    it then installs, but when I try to launch, its picking up some serial number somewhere and telling me that i need to deactivate the products on other machines before i can proceed.
    i own photoshop cs5,   and dreamweaver from that same suite,, but thats it..
    how can i activate my trial of indesign CS5?  i tried a complete uninstall and reinstall.. but it keeps picking up that phantom serial number that i dont recognize.
    very frustrating..
    btw, i am mac...   intell   os 10.65

    thanks for your help.. i really appreciate it..
    so i did a complete uninstall again from the application manager,   downloaded the correct trial version from the adobe site,  and did a complete reinstall,
    and i keep getting the same message when i try to launch.  its seeing some serial number that i dont own.... and does not give me the option to run as a trial..
    super frustrating,   i  run a photoshop retouching company  and own  20 or so photoshops,, and i just need this stupid indesign for an FPO.....
    i have a thousand versions of indesign cs3.. but dont want to pop for the new version over one job....
    shucks
    i guess i am going to have to call the client and ask them to resave as a pdf or something..sort of embarrassing..
    super frustrating..
    thanks adobe....

  • InDesign CC trial disables Ai CS5 functionality?

    I currently have Illustrator CS5 on my PC, Windows 8. I don't have InDesign, but would like it soon. I downloaded the InDesign Trial version. I go to do some work in Illustrator, and my type tool will not work at all. I tried resetting preferences. I ended up Uninstalling InDesign (Which it turns out I had InDesign CS6 trial as well as CC version, not sure if that makes a difference). Once uninstalled, Illustrator works.
    Is there a compatibility issue here? I'd like to know if I need to upgrade my Illustrator in order to have InDesign.

    It shouldn't affect it - however they might have shared resources.
    Would be best to see if reinstalling your Illustrator works for you?

  • Tiff images I used in trial version are now blurry in full version of InDesign CS5.5

    I placed two tiff images (visual poems I made) into a file (a manuscript) using a trial version of InDesign CS5.5, and they appeared clear and crisp. Then I bought the full version of InDesign (the Education product as part of Adobe Creative Suite), opened the file, and the two tiff images are completely blurry!
    When I open the tiffs in photoshop and view them as "actual pixels," they are clear and crisp. The resolution is 300. For one image I tried making it a lower resolution, and that didn't help.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Hi, I just unchecked the Object Level Display and nothing happened.
    Nothing has changed with the images at all. The only thing that is different is that I created the manuscript in a trial version of the software. Maybe it was an earlier version than the software I purchased? Would that have an effect on the images? I didn't purchase the software directly from the trial version I used. What happened is that the trial version expired. Then a month later or so I bought a new laptop, bought the Creative Suite (Education version, so much cheaper than normal), and then installed the software on the laptop. Then I opened my manuscript using the new software, the CS5.5, and everything was fine except for the images being blurry.
    Is it possible I used a trial version in CS5.0 and then bought CS5.5 and that has something to do with it?
    Thanks for all of your help!!
    I just realized I wasn't logged in & that's why I couldn't reply.

  • Can I install a trial of InDesign CS5 instead of CS6?

    I'm having trouble finding a 30-day trial of InDesign CS5. I need to download it for a class, and the computers in our class only have CS5.
