Is there an easy way to take a layered Id cc file and save and open in an older Ps?

I am trying to proof and edit a book being made at a school where they are using Id cc.  I do not have Id, and am trying to figure out how they can save the layered file to send me and open in Ps or Ai.  All I see is converting to a pdf file but it seems complicated to keep the layers as is. They tried sending me pdf files and neither Ps or Ai will open them.  And not sure if they saved in layers.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

If I upgrade to Ps cc…
Just to be clear, you are asking about Photoshop cc? I don't see how that would be a good choice in editing InDesign files. You would need to have the school send you a PDF that you would need to open in Photoshop, which would rasterize all of the text, making it uneditable. I've never tried to edit anything with text in Photoshop, so if there is a way to keep the live type, I'm not aware of it, but even if you could keep live type, Photoshop's text abilities are very basic. InDesign is what you really need to use, and if the school has CC files, I don't see any way you can edit files that they could use without using InDesign CC. At the very least, you would need to use some version of InDesign, if not the CC version, but then you would have to deal with the problems that can happen when sharing files of different versions.
And if you are considering editing with Illustrator, your type will likely break apart. I made an example that I'm posting as a screenshot.
I copied a paragraph of my response to you, pasted into InDesign, exported as a PDF, then opened the PDF in Illlustrator. The upper paragraph is live, and the lower is the Illustrator that I placed below. They look the same, but I have changed the color of the live type (after the export) to show you how it breaks apart. The first magenta bit is one text fragment. When the font changes to bold, it creates a new fragment (shown in green), then a third (in blue) when it goes back to Roman. The whole second line (in yellow) has been converted to outlines, so I can't edit it at all. If I wanted to remove two of the magenta words and insert 5 different words, the rest of the line wouldn't flow. That's what you're up against if you edit with Illustrator.
ID is the only real choice, and if they have CC, you should be using CC.

    Is there an easy way to place emails received on my iPad into a junk file like you can do on the iMac by using a junk icon to stop certain emails from reoccuring?

    You would need to first set up a junk folder, once that is done, when you are previewing message there is an icon on top of a folder with an arrow inside it, tap on it, this is the move action, in the folder list that now appears tap on the junk folder.

  • ZMP: There an easy way to take of battery cov

    Dumb question but I've found it very difficult to remove the battery cover without having to stick my fingernail between the crack and putting heavy pressure on the ZMP. I'm afraid this will damage it eventually, so why is it so hard to remove battery cover?

    Hi....i'm using a ZMP too and i agree with u that the batt cover is hard to remove. Perhaps due to the slippery metal surface of the ZMP that's the reason why, but i'm only using batt as provided in the package so after inserting it inside for the st time, i won't remove it again until i get a replacement for it.

  • I have two iPads about a year old and have 5 full folders of web links that I would like to copy from one to the other.  Both have iCloud but not the same account.  Is there an easy way to grab those folders or the icons and email?

    I have two iPad 2 with separate iCloud accounts.  I want to copy folders of weblinks from one iPad to the other.  Email solution?  Answer needs to be written for a user who doesn't know how to select a folder or a number of icons and email or copy them to something that can be emailed.  I know how to do it one at a time by opening weblink and then emailing the link from safari.

    Good idea. I've already used the feedback for my general suggestions to improve the way Apple handles bug reports (and tried sending it to Steve Jobs too), but I'll send a specific suggestion for a bug app on the iPhone.
    However, my question is whether there is a simple way to send bug reports from the iPhone now that I have overlooked.

  • Is there an easy way to remove Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and revert to 10.6.5

    I upgraded to 10.6.8 and since then, my apps crash regularly.  It can take 2 or 3 re-starts to get Mail functioning properly, the iCal events widget on Dashboard has never worked and others such as Aperture and Safari just crash for no reason.  I haven't seen much improvement with 10.6.8 so no loss.

    I'm afraid the only way to revert to an earlier iteration of SL is to completely erase the HD and re-install from your original grey discs and/or retail SL DVD. Then find the combo installer for the version you want to stop at.
    10.6.5 is here.
    You'll need to backup your data to an external drive first, then use Setup Assistant to re-import data, apps and prefs.

  • SomeString.split(" ")   is there an easy way

    Is there an easy way to split a sting into an array and leave out indexes that contain what I am spliting by?
    the string I want to split is :
    "Average 43 40 16 1"
    lets say I am spliting the string with " "
    String[] someStrings = someString.split(" ")
    code is below... I am new to java so be nice.
    // here we will read in all the lines of a file in the directory fRoot
         BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fRoot + file));
                   String str;
                   while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
                        if(str.startsWith("Ave")){
                             System.out.println(str);
                             String[] a = str.split(" ");
                             for(String e : a){
                                  if(!e.contains(""))System.out.println(e);
                   }

    I suspect you need
    String[] someStrings = someString.split(" +")

  • Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happen

    Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happened any idea what causes this??
    iMovie '08, Mac OS X (10.5.8), FCE 4

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • When i drag and drop to my ipod it wants to sync everything, but if i make changes to the syncing options and apply it wants to sync it all to make it work. i have 12000 songs and takes two days to sync everything. is there an easier way to drag and drop

    when i drag and drop to my ipod it wants to sync everything, but if i make changes to the syncing options and apply it wants to sync it all to make it work. i have 12000 songs and takes two days to sync everything. is there an easier way to drag and drop just one album without making settings changes?

    The first ever Sync of 12,000 songs to an empty iPod will take a while, but it shouldn't take two days.
    Once all 12,000 songs have been Synced to the iPod, subsequent changes to just one album will result in a very short Sync time. That Sync will include:
    the change to that one album
    play counts on iPod updated into your iTunes Library
    Smart Playlists updated: some complex Smart Playlists are not always updated by the iPod but have to wait for a Sync with the Library.
    housework - in other words, behind the scenes tasks that we don't need to see.
    Those subsequent Syncs do not sync every single song every time.
    So, stick with Syncing. If the first Sync of all your songs is taking too long, try syncing part of the Library (say one or two genres) the first time, a further part the second time and so on. After all, with a Library that large, manually managing the iPod will be a source of torture.

  • Is there an easy way to make JSpinner wrap around at max/min values?

    I have several pages with a couple dozen JSpinners to set various values - mostly numeric, but some are not.
    I would like to make them wrap around when either the max or min values are reached.
    Is there an easy way to do this?
    I was hoping for something like an "enableWraparound" property, but I haven't found such an animal.
    I suspect I could add value change listeners to all the components and do it by brute force,
    but there are too many spinners scattered around to make that an option I would like to take.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Ok, it looks like custom spinner models are the way to go.
    Hopefully, I can create a couple that are generic enough to meet my requirements without too much pain.
    It looks like the ones I have already created will be easy enough to modify.
    Thanks for the feedback.

  • HT1660 is there an easy way to delete the whole itunes library and and start again. I notice there is only an add file/folder button but no remove facility

    I recently upgraded to the iphone 5 and managed to sort the transition out with little trouble but noticed when I tried to put my music on that Itunes has messed with album info and either it or me has generated several copies of the same albums over the years and it makes it quite dificult to sort it all out before reloading on the phone. To stop the chaos I had hoped to clear the library and start again but cant find a way to do it. I was hoping to sort all my music out in original files and consolidate them into a proper folder. HOw do I do this. I notice there is an add fole and folder button but no take away??? is there an easy way?

    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. If you have multiple references to the same files then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

  • Is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress  itunes  doesn't recognize the feed. my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/me

    is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress  itunes  doesn't recognize the feed.
    my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
    garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
    share to itunes.
    drag file to desktop.
    upload .m4a file to google drive.
    create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
    click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
    i copy this url.
    go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
    itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
    when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
    i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
    still the same error message.
    i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
    wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
    this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

    if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

  • Recently got a new iphone but when i tried to sync it with my itunes, all my music appeared with a cloud beside it and doesnt play. Do i have to download each individual track by clicking on each cloud or is there an easier way? I have over 1000 songs!!!!

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.
