Making in InDesign CS5.5, editing in CS6, then opening in CS5.5 again

Hi
I'm just a student, and I've recently bought the Design Student CS6.
My school uses CS5.5, so If I make a document in InDesign CS5.5 at school, then take it home and work on it in CS6, save it then go back to the computers at school to work on it again, will it still open and work correctly?
if not, is there any way I could save it or any sort of workflow I could follow that would help me avoid hiccups?
Like say working only in CS6 at home?

Save as IDML. Don’t expect it to work perfectly.
New features will be lost and text will likely reflow.

Saving a CC Indesign document as an IDML and then opening in CS5.5

I have InDesign from Creative Cloud. I have designed a new technical manual for my client who has only InDesign 5.5. He wanted me to save the new file I created for him in his version so that he can open the file and make canges to it without having me make the changes. I saved the document as an InDesign CS4 or later (IDML) and sent the file to him. Once he tried opening the file he noticed that all of the fonts were missing and that all of the left aligned tabs that I had created were now centered tabs.
Is this a glitch in the transfer between CC InDesign and CS5.5? Or is it a preferences problem? Is there anyone out there who can help me with this?
I am thinking that if the issue is preferences between the newer version and the older version, then there may not be much I can do or that he can do. I was thinking of just performing a file packaging and sending him that file, but again he wants to have his cake and eat it too, and by that I mean he wants to make changes in the future himself. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rey

So thats it?
What about if I package the file, and after the file has been packaged, I open that fil up and then save it as a IDML file and send that along with the rest of the package to my client? Would this not work as well?

Pls kindly help me out from this problem.

InDesign CS5 Book to Interactive PDF

Hi all,
Now in InDesign CS5 there is a more convenient option under File > Export... to make interactive PDFs with links, buttons, etc.
In exchange, in the traditional PDF Presets export workflow there are some changes, in the dialog box. Now there is an option "Interactive elements" and two options: "Export appearance" or "Not include".
That means that when I am dealing with an InDesign document with buttons, if I choose to make the PDF with the traditional way, I have to choose either if preserve just the appearance of buttons (but they no longer work) or just exclude them. OK...
Then I use File > Export... and choose Interactive PDF, then everything it's just OK.
BUT.... I am making an InDesign CS5 Book, where every file involved has buttons. In the Book window, I can export the whole book to PDF, but using the old-fashioned way that either includes just the appearance of buttons or excludes them! I'd like to export my Book into a fully interactive PDF
So what can I do? or what am I missing?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Ignasi

When you choose to export the book out of the ID Book file, choose Interactive. The same settings come up as exporting the interactive PDF out of the individual ID file.

CS3 file will not open in CS3 after editing in CS6?!?

Pardon the exclamations but we're creative folks not techies. After editing a CS3 file in CS6 we are unable to open it in CS3. Looks like CS6 will only save back to CS4? So once edited in CS6 then I can no longer use CS3 to work with the files? Can anybody confirm this for me? We also tried to export to IDML but CS3 would not read it.

When you open an older version of InDesign file within a newer version and edit them, the older version of file is first converted using some required plugins of the newer version of InDesign and then a consolidated new file is generated including the required plugins. Now, if you try to open this newer version of file back in an older version, the older version of InDesign looks for the required plugins used to edit the file and fails because InDesign older version did not use those plugins to create your file.
Please let me know if that explanation helped understanding why this behavior occurs.

Using an indesign CS5 script in CS6

Is there a way to use a .jsxbin script that works in Indesign CS5 and 5.5 in CS6? I think in previous versions of Indesign you could place older scripts in a specific folder to get them to work, is there a similar setup for CS6?
Thanks

Thank you, Scott;
I'll give this a try when I return to class on Thursday. I am puzzled that other InD CS5 files have opened in CS4 after a message that "some data may be lost" - which I have clicked "OK", edited the file and emailed it back to school to open in CS5. Oh, well, if this works I'll use it on all the CS5 files that I create in class.
I appreciate your email.

InDesign CS5 and inCopy CS6 workflow problem

I've looked at other discussions and haven't found any to answer the question to our problem.
We are a small publishing company and we have license for roughly 7 inDesign CS5 copies that we purchased a year ago. We contract with outside editors to edit content for us using inCopy. For a year there hasn't been any problems. But any new contracted editor we now sign, which in turn purchases inCopy, we are having trouble with our files talking to one another. Any new contracted editors are only able to purchase CS6 inCopy. This leaves us with the problem of having inDesign CS5 on about 7 or so of our employees machines and 6-8 CS 5.5 InCopy on outside contracted editors and an additional 3-4 contracted editors with CS6 inCopy. When the editors with CS6 inCopy try to open files from our InDesign CS5, either they won’t open at all, or they will open, the editor works on the project for awhile, their program crashes and they are not able to recover (re-open) the files again. Which results in hours of lost work.
Has anyone else come across this problem? Is there a work around or a quick fix. We would hate to have to upgrade to CS6 for all of our in house copies of InDesign and then ask our outside editors what do have inCopy cs5.5 to upgrade to CS6.
If this is the case, when CS7 comes out, and we hire additional outside editors, will we continuously have to go through the process of upgrades again? This is too costly for use and our existing contracted editors.
Any thoughts are assistance would be appreciated.
This is one of the error messages received from an outside contracted editor using inCopy CS6. The file crashed after several hours of work, when the editor went to reopen the file, they received this error. Which looks to be a generic error code that doesn't tell us anything.

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?

Is InCopy CS6 compatible with InDesign CS5.5?

Hello,
We recently upgraded our production team to CS Design Standard 5.5, however, we now need a handful of copies of InCopy for our editors...
Just wanted to make sure that InCopy CS6 and InDesign CS5.5 were playing nice with each other before making the purchase.
Thanks in advance.

I would test it very thoroughly by downloading the trial versions. I would imagine text flow will be a bit different and packaging certainly won’t work.
BTW, what does recently mean? Any purchase of 5.5 after March 26 would entitle you to a free upgrade to CS6.

InDesign CS5.5 to CS6 bug involving Tables

Hello
I am having issues when editing files that were created in InDesign CS5.5 with CS6, most specifically with Tables.
When I open a file created in CS5.5 with CS6 some of the tables are corrupted. When I try to edit the content in the corrupt tables or even resize the text frame, the table and all content below become overset. Even adding a single character causes overset. (the text frame and table cells are large enough to accommodate the changes)
I can edit the file in CS5.5 without any issues.
Saving the file as .idml doesn't fix the problem. When I do this and open the .idml in CS6 the corrupted tables have already shifted and caused an overset before I make any edits.
I've also tried:
- deleting all paragraph, character, and table styles
- pasting the content into a new file
The only way that fixed the problem was merging the table rows, but with the content we have this is definitely not ideal. The file is a multi page application form and we have more than one hundred similar files.
Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.
-kvan

With every version there are changes to the text engine that affect composition. When you open a legacy file the changes are not made until you touch the text in some way. When you open a .idml file the changes are made at opening.

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.

Will InCopy CS6 work with InDesign CS5.5?

Hi folks - I need to use InDesign CS5.5 due to a customer's requirement. I need to use InCopy to delegate copy editing. Looks like the lowest version of InCopy I can get is InCopy CS6. Will InCopy CS6 play nice with InDesign CS5.5?
Thanks in advance.

bahhh
Cheers for your reply though. Is there any way of getting InCopy CS5.5 these days?

How do I downsave InDesign CS6 documents to InDesign CS5?

Is there a way to downsave my InDesign CS6 documents to be opened up by someone who is on InDesign CS5?

So is the best option to save it to pdf??
That depends on what you want.
Want to send it to a print shop? Want to send it to someone who is going to provide editorial commentary? Want to send it to someone who is going to actually edit text? The best option is not obvious to a forum full of random strangers if we don't know your selection criteria. If, from your original post, you need your document
to be opened up by someone who is on InDesign CS5?
then PDF by itself may the worst option. I'd suggest that you File -> Package your CS6 file, make sure all linked files are included, and give them an IDML file. And, because the IDML file won't match your CS6 INDD perfectly if you've used any tools new in CS6, give 'em a PDF too. So maybe the best option is "all of the above."

Upgrade only Indesign CS5.5 to CS6 (instead of whole Design Premium)

Hi,
is it possible to upgrade only my Indesign CS5.5 to CS6, instead of upgrading my whole Design Premium Suite?
I purchased the indesign-upgrade, but now I can't install it.
thanks!

you should contact adobe support. if anyone can help you upgrade from a suite to an individual producet, then can.
i don't believe they will be able to do that in which case you'll probably need to contact them about a refund.
so, in either case, contact adobe support: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
