Open CS3 AI in CS2, losing everything around margin

I have a CS3 AI file I made at work. It has items that are large and exceeding the margins on the screen. I open the same file in CS2 at home (didnt realize i could do that!) and although everything opens ok, everything on the outside of the margin is gone...or is it invisible? I cant tell if everything is actually cut off or is this a view setting that Im not familiar with. Which is it and can I fix it from CS2?

Illustrator is opening the PDF component of the AI file, which has been cropped to the artboard. Using CS3, save your CS3 file as CS2.

Cannot Open 'CS3 file in CS2' - programmatically handle this dialog

I am running a Visual Basic app that cycles through a collection of InDesign documents performing actions. We are using CS2 and the problem occurs when a CS3 document is encountered, which hangs the app. When opening the file manually the following error dialog is encountered:
Cannot open "xxxx.indd". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the lastest version of Adobe InDesign.
InDesign is launched by:
appInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Scripting.CS2")
User interaction is suppressed:
appInDesign.ScriptPreferences.UserInteractionLevel = InDesign.idUserInteractionLevels.idNeverInteract
Documents are opened by:
docInDesign = appInDesign.Open(<FilePath>, False)
How do you handle/identify this dialog/error without user interaction (I would like to skip the file)?
Thanks in advance

If you opening CS3 file in CS2 you alway get error message.
I think best solution is check indesign document version before opening it.
I have code for checking indesign version but it is Javascript code.
But it will give you idea how you can check indesign version and skip that files.
Here below is code:
f = File.openDialog ('Select file', undefined, false);
alert('Indesign version: '+getFileVersion(f));
function getFileVersion(f){
var IDVersion;
f.open('r')
f.seek(29, 0)
IDversion = f.readch().charCodeAt(0);
f.close();
return (IDversion);

Opening CS3 Files With CS2

I am running iMacs (Leopard). I have CS2 on 1 machine, CS3 on the other.
When I try to open a CS3 file with CS2, I get a long list of extensions/plug ins that need to be updated.
Where can I find the updates?
Thanks.
Darryl

I assume you're referring to InDesign (please post application specific
question in the application forums), you'll need to export as INX and
open that.
Don't expect perfection.
You can search the InDesign forums for INX for more info.

My one year old disabled my iphone 5 so i need to "connect it to itunes" as the screen directs. I know how to do this with my laptop but it says i will be doing a factory reset. is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?

Long story short, my one year old disabled my iphone5 and I need to "connect to itunes" as the screen instructs. I went through the steps and it says that I will be doing a factory reset and I will lose everything. Is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?? I'm mainly concerned about my pictures and videos.

Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... after the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...

Missing Plugins for CS2- Can't open CS3 doc

I am unable to open a CS3 doc (.inx) in CS2. I keep getting an error message saying I am missing the plug-ins LILO.APLN and CELLSTYLES.RPLN. Where do I get these missing plug-ins?
Thanks for the help!

Bob,
What error would you get trying to open CS3 .inx on a CS2 installation that wasn't at build 688?

Can CS2 open CS3 files?

I will be creating CS3 files for a new client that has CS2. Can CS2 open CS3 files? I'm sure this has been asked many times here, but I can't find the answer in a search. Thank you.

Yes, unless the file contains anything created by a CS3 specific feature that does not exist in CS2. They're both old versions, so I can't think of any off the top of my head. Just remember to save with maximize compatibility checked.
A flattened file would never be a problem, of course.

Can't open CS3 documents I previously created with CS3

I have InDesign CS3, says 3.0.1 when it opens. I have been using it for several years, but not for about 4 months. Suddenly I am unable to open previous projects I created with this program. I get an error message from the content manager the same as if I was trying to open a CS3 document with CS2 -- upgrade your plug-ins or get the new version. If I click on configure plugins, everything seems fine. If I click on update, it says there is nothing to update.

Let's assume you have CS3. Do you also have CS?
I'm not sure if you're on a Mac or PC, but are the files linked to open with the right program? I created this situation for myself (on purpose) to prevent myself from opening a clients files in CS4.
Could you be launching a previous version?

If the Inbox for this account only is revealed, is there any triangle beside it?
Ah, yes, I see! Silly me to be looking for Sent mail under "Sent"! Indeed, there's a disclosure triangle next to the account name under "Inbox", and wen you open it, it shows Drafts, Sent, spam, and Trash. The sent items are indeed there.
Mind you, my Dot Mac accounts show up normally, i.e., their sent mail goes under "Sent". Wish all IMAP accounts did that. It sure isn't logical to show sent mail inside an inbox...
But to answer your question: In addition to having the "Sent" folder for the account under "Inbox", I also have a folder for the account under "Sent". This folder disappears when I check the box to store messages on the server. There were emails in it (the ones I placed there myself). I have now moved those emails to the sent sub-folder under the account under "Inbox". Even with the "store on server" option UNchecked, the emails were instantly duplicated to the server, so that they were present both locally and remotely. I then checked the "store on server box"; this made the mailbox for the account under "Sent" vanish.
To summarize: things appear to work normally now, except that I find it very inconvenient to have to look in two separate "Sent" folders to find emails I've written.

Javascript error when opening CS3 on pc..?

I cannot open ID on my CS3 package using my pc. The error appears twice in a box on screen stating
'JavaScript Error'
'Error Number 45'
'Error string :Object is Invalid'
'Line 387'
also
'JavaScript Error'
'Error Number 45'
'Error String; Object is Invalid'
'Line 428'
there was a problem initially due to program plug-ins reported missing so i tried going onto 'Help' and clicking on 'Configure Plug-Ins' from the drop down menu.
Not sure what i did.. but now i cannot use ID as it shuts down after the javascript errors are reported.
Anyone help?

hi
thanks for all the helpful info
i tried to reinstall INDESIGN only... didnt work same problem.
i tried by uninstalling INDESIGN and then reinstalling it only.... didnt work same problem.
I guess im going to have to do a full reinstall.. not a problem, do i need to contact yourselves to get clearance for a reinstallation?
I had a hard drive crash about 6 months ago and had to reinstall, had to phone Adobe and get an online clearance as id exceeded my sole installation for my CS3 hard copies.
thanks again

Subject: Javascript error when opening CS3 on pc..?
I'd bet the original scenario was something like you tried to open a file and saw a message that you were missing plugins, or they were out of date, and that you should update or upgrade. That's the typical message you get when you try to open a file saved from a newer version of ID. Unfortunately it's quite misleading -- nothing you do to the plugins will help you in that case, and trying to use newer versions would be disastrous.
You should be able to selectively reinstall just ID. If you have the DVD you can run the installer and do a "Repair" installation, and if that doesn't work, you should be able to uninstall ID, then reinstall without removing the whole suite. If that still doesn't work, bite the bullet, uninstall everything and run the clean script (http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402767&sliceId=1), then reinstall. I'm not sure what happens with a downloaded installer, but I suspect it works the same. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that to uninstall from a download you need to have it in the same location as was originally used for the installation.

Slow CS3 compared with CS2

I'm seeing an overall sluggish performance in inDesign CS3 compared with CS2. I use G5 processors and I have plenty of Ram (8 Gigs on a x2 G5 and (2 Gigs on an iMac) I . Even CS2 running on a G4 PowerBook seems faster. The preview of the images set on Typical makes me think that I have the setting on High Quality, whilst I don't. Images take ages to show up. Seeing the same document open on an Intel machine seems much faster even if has only 2 Gigs of Ram. Is there a problem with G5 Macs and InDesign CS3? Photoshop CS3 works just fine.

Is it like this with any document? There have not been much complaining of CS3 being slow so it is certainly not a general problem. I have only toyed with the tryout, I am stuck in CS1(!) until fall, but didnt notice any slowdowns in screen redraws on a few magazines I converted.
You said in a previous post it is like having high res display on, does that mean that they also display in high res or was it just to compare the sluggishness? Placing overly large images and downsizing in Indesign could cause that I think. See what ppi the image are reported to be, actual and effective.
Are those images on a server or on your local disk? If on a server see if it behaves any better when trying with images placed from you local drive.
Also try an export to .inx and reopen that with hope of getting rid of any corruption.

My wife and I have made many purchases over several years on seperate accounts, how could we join them into one account, without losing everything?

My wife and I have made many purchases over several years on seperate accounts, how could we join them into one account, without losing everything? We both use Iphone 5's and share an Imac at home.

Purchases using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID. Purchases are forever tied to that Apple ID used. You have to decide which Apple you want to use for purchases and stick to that Apple ID so that you can share: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID : > use the same Apple ID here to share purchases.
