Need to open CS6 file in CS4

I have a very simple one page file with text that was made with CS6, when I try to open it in CS4 I get a prompt telling me to either upgrade my plugins (what?) or upgrade my version. Well, since the latter is out of the question I want to upgrade the plugins that the error message is referring to. But what is that? Where do I do it? I was kinda surprised cause its a simple straight forward one page doc with text on it, that's it! How many plugins can be used to create that? My feel is that it's just another way of forcing people to buy new Adobe software.
Ps: Had a browse on simmilar topics here on this forum and some suggest to save the file again in a different format, but that's kinda impossible when I can't open it. How does one "re-save" an indd file?

Was not able to edit my post so I'm adding it here. I found this on the Adobe site:
"Make sure that the version of InDesign used to open the IDML or INX file has all available updates installed. Otherwise, InDesign returns an error about missing plug-ins when you try to open the file." But I didn't find any way to work with updates, what kind if "available updates" are they referring to? I went to Help--> Updates in InDesign and I received "There are no updates at this time." That's a little weird tough cause I've never searched for any updates since I bought CS4 when it was released.

  • I am using CS4. Can I open CS6 files? I am receiving "plug-ins not available on your system" messages and I'd like to open anyway but clicking on OK doesn't work.

    InDesign CS4 can open .indd, .indt  and .inx files from earlier versions, but not from later. It should, however, be able to open .idml files saved or exported from newer versions, with the understanding that unsupported features will be lost, text will probably reflow due to differences in texts engines between versions, and that the greater the gap between versions the more likely there are to be noticeable differences from the original. You will need to be sure CS4 is at version 7.0.6 to read the .idml.

  • I need to open a file with an associated programm.

    I need to open a file with an associated programm.
    I'm looking for two solutions:
    1. for Linux/Solaris/Unix/...
    2. for Windows 95/98/Nt/2000
    For Windows I have done this with command line
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + uSavePath);
    but it doesn't work on windows2000. We need an universal solution.
    For linux
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("netscape openURL " + uSavePath);
    But may be anybody know better solution?

    You are right. For unix better solution is that my program to care about all association itself. As I undestend now it's a common solution for unix applications.
    But for windows it will be ugly enough. I've found another way for windows
    Win2000/NT: "cmd /C start filename /B"
    other Wins: start filename
    for linux I've stopped at doing this via Netscape.
    May be in future I'll make my property file.
    start filename - on Win95(may be 98/ME) returns -1 if file not assotiated with a programm, and doesn't shows openWith dialog. It solved using something like "rundll32 shell32, OpenWith filename"
    It's all for those how will solve this problem in future.

    although i ran GBX6 under 10.5.8, i do believe an intel processor is required. that means that the only complete solution would be a new computer, i'm afraid.
    the best you could do is export each track as an audio file from GBi and drop them into your GBX project

  • Opening CS3 file in CS4 - fonts wrong!

    I have an FLA created in CS3 (Mac). It includes a couple of
    fonts that were made into symbols. I'm both using those symbols to
    set the font for dynamic text boxes on stage in various symbols (by
    selecting the font-name-with-asterisk from the font menu), and in
    Actionscript to create text.
    When I open the file in CS4, wherever I have used the menu
    option (selecting the font with asterisk in its name), when I
    select the box the font menu is showing a DIFFERENT font. And when
    I publish none of that text shows up!
    The font names with asterisks are still in the font list, but
    now they're in a separate section separated by a line from the
    regular font list.
    I'm not sure what to do - am I stuck using CS3 for the life
    of this file? I'm not even sure how many text fields are in this
    document, scattered among a number of symbols. If it was just a few
    I could probably just manually re-select the font for each. I mean,
    I assume I could do that...?
    Is there a global find/replace option to fix this? Is this a
    known bug?
    - Bob

    I'm sorry to say this, but you're stuck with CS3. This also
    happened to me and I couldn't solve it by now.

    despite the workaround, it doesn't fix the real problem. It shouldn't be a huge deal for adobe to add support for multiple svn versions. Dreamweaver is the first tool i've used that works with svn that doesn't support several types of svn meta data. If they're going to claim that Dreamweaver supports svn is should actually support svn, the current version, not a version several years old. This should have been among the first patches released, or at least after snow leopard came out (and packaged with it the current version of svn).
    does anyone know if the code that handles meta data formatting is something that is human readable, or where it might be, or is it in compiled code.
    i signed up for the forums, for the sole purpose of being able to vent about this very frustrating and disappointing situation.

  • Can Illustrator CS4 open Illustrator CS6 files? or other work around way to open CS6 files?

    Can Illustrator CS4 open files created in CS6? or can CS6 files be converted to be opened in CS4? like CS6 InDesign can be saved in IDML files to be opened in previous versions. Or if there is any other work around ways, like save CS6 files in PDFs/eps/... so the files can be opened in CS4 and work from there. Thank you.

    Open in CS6 , file >> Save As >> Version >> CS4.

  • Can't open ACR files in CS4 - HELP!

    I have a Canon EOS 1000D and am using Photoshop CS4.
    Every time I try opening it through PS I have a pop-up saying "could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file". And the option to "open in camera raw" in bridge is gray, so i can't select it.
    I've updated my Camera Raw Plug-In to version 5.7. (which is supposed to be compatible) and I still have trouble opening my files - both through PS and Bridge.
    I'm in desperate need of help!

    As Camera Raw is a plug-in, I'm wondering if somehow you haven't replaced the plug-in in the proper directory...
    From Photoshop's menu, choose Help - About Plug-in.  Do you have just one Camera Raw entry showing?  If so, click it.  What version do you see?

  • How do you open NEF files in CS4????

    I have a brand new Nikon 5000D (basically a 90D) and am cannot open the NEF files in CS4. I have the current camera raw updates, Adobe photoshop is the default for opening and I have tried everything others have suggested on this discussion board to try and make it work. I even uninstalled all the NIKON software....... CAN anyone Give me the exact  step by step instructions on what I need to do before I return the camera and give up completely on NIKON???? PLEEEAAASE HEEELLLPPP!!!

    New camera models require a new version of ACR to support them.
    The Nikon D5000 will be supported in ACR 5.4, and the beta is available from Adobe Labs:

  • Opening HDR files in CS4 Standard

    I am trying to write a document that gives simple, standard instructions to users on what to do when opening HDR files in Photoshop CS4 Standard (Windows XP SP3). The files are generated by 3D Studio Max V-Ray in the EXR format. The problem is that gamma levels are frequently off for users, so the instructions are meant to simplify things for them. Through some testing, I discovered something I don't understand:
    With RGB color management policy set to 'Preserve Embedded Profiles' (and it doesn't matter what the actual RGB profile is and/or whether or not any of the 'Ask When...' boxes are selected), the EXR opens as expected and no gamma correction is needed
    With RGB color management policy set to 'Convert to Working RGB' (and it doesn't matter what the actual RGB profile is), selecting the 'Ask When...' boxes causes the EXR to open as expected also...but if one does NOT select the 'Ask When...' boxes and allows Photoshop to automatically convert, the image is very dark and requires a gamma correction layer.
    I ran all possible scenarios of 'Preserve Embedded Profiles' and 'Convert to Working RGB' with 'Ask When...' boxes selected and deselected in Photoshop CS3 Extended and all images opened as expected with no need for gamma correction.
    Can anybody shed light on this oddity? Is there a limitation in Photoshop Standard when it comes to HDR image processing? Or is this a change from either Standard or Extended version from CS3 to CS4?

    Hmm, that is odd, and I don't recall hearing about problems like that from other users.
    Photoshop always treats 32 bit/channel data as gamma 1.0, and always corrects for the display.
    If you send me one of the files in question, I can take a look.
    Photoshop CS45 Standard is only limited in 32 bit/channel in that it can't create layers or use many of the brush tools.
    But Photoshop CS5 no longer has that limitation.

  • Opening 3 files in CS4

    Wondering is I'm missing an update for CS4.  When I try opening an older file ((3), it provides the message toconvert to a newly installed version of captivate. Press OK to save as a new file.  When I press OK, it actsas if it is saving the new format but doesn't. I have tried "saving as" with a name and location, but still does nothing.  Is this a bug?  Any suggestions?

    > Does opening a CS2 file in CS4 automatically convert it to CS4?
    Yes, and INX only goes back one version. There's a hack you can try but

    leave them as CS2 files.

  • What version of Photoshop do I need to open PSDX files?

    I have a tablet with PS Touch, and a copy of Photoshop CS4.  Can I open PS Touch PSDX files in my version of Photoshop?

    To open PSDX files in Photoshop, you will need Photoshop CS5. You will also need to download the plug-in to enable Photoshop CS5 to open PSDX files. For more information about using Photoshop Touch with Photoshop CS5, see this forum article. Another helpful resource is this new video by Russell Brown called, File Format Options with Photoshop Touch.
