Opening CS2 created files in CS4 issue

we commonly work with foor plans which multiple laters of data.  We are noticing that nearly all of the files created in cs2 are displaying automatically moving layers when opened in CS4.  A layer of symbols or objects simply "shifts" to an alternate location and there is no easy way to fix it.  We are unable to identify a fix tho these files other than locating an old verison of cs2 to open them with.
any ideas guys!  much appreciated!

Further to my earlier reply I suddenly remembered that I had created the JPF
files in Photoshop 3 Extended which fortunately I still have loaded on my
computer. I was able to open the JPF files into that and save the them as
JPEG files which I can now open in CS4.  Problem solved !! Thanks again for
your help. Learning how to use and manipulate Photoshop is a continuous
process and the interaction between Forum users is invaluable.

  • Problems opening CS2 ai files in CS4 under Snow Lep op system

    I am finding I can't open files created in CS2 with CS4.  I didn't have any problem on the PC but on the Mac the files won't open.  The operating system is Snow Lepoard.  Anyone have any ideas as why this is happening?  They are 165 mb files but I never had any problems on the PC so my guess is it is the new Mac op.

    I feel like they'll work.  Worst case, maybe I can pay someone a few bucks to throw them into AI and change to compatibility mode if I have any problems.
    I did work with an artist's CS4 files when I was on CS2 and the only thing it seemed to do was add a couple of weird paths.  So if you selected all the items in a piece of vector art and it set the frame around it to show the selection, it would include an area of white space, normally below the artwork because there was some random point down there -- deleting it solved that problem...  Hopefully it's the worst thing that will happen.
    Thanks for your help!!

  • Paragraph style issue when opening imdl (CS5) file in CS4

    Sending a CS5 file to a printer using CS4.  When they open the imdl file in CS4, it changes the paragraph style in the pull quotes. The initial character, whether a letter or a quote, appears tiny.  It looks like a paragraph style issue.  The 'quote' paragraph style in CS4 has a drop cap set on it. 
    Has anyone else had this problem or have a suggested fix? Certainly, we can check our files in CS4 before sending each time, but what a pain!

    IDML is meant as an interchange format, and is far from "the same file but in another version".
    If your printer wants a CS4 file, send them a CS4 file. Better yet, ask them why you have to send them native files anyway and what's their problem with a PDF?

  • Can't open flash/fla files (with CS4) - might be version issue

    Hi,
    I am trying to edit a website for a friend (built with Flash and XML) and i can't seem to get into any of the .Fla files.
    I don't know if it is my version of Flash (CS4) or the files and not sure how i could test it. Could also just be a CS5 file hence i can't open it.
    Any help or suggestions would be great. Please help i don't know what to do, haha.
    Here is an upload of one of the files i am talking about
    http://www.2shared.com/file/kb2NKm0i/book-verification.html
    I wasn't sure which hosts were allowed so if i messed up please let me know.
    Thanks

    Hi Asher,
    You  cannot open a file which is saved in future version such as CS5  version  in Flash CS4 .This is as designed .
    If you need to open a CS5 file in CS4 , You need to save the file as CS4 file  and then open in Flash CS4 .
    Thanks

  • Open Flash CS5 file in CS4

    Hey all,
    I think I know the answer to this, but ... Is there any way I can open a CS5 file in CS4? A designer I'm working with created some files using her CS5. She's on vacation for 2 weeks (so I can't have her edit or resend the files as CS4) and I just got an email that the client needs a couple tweeks and all I have is CS4. Is there any way (or any program) that can backwards convert a CS5 file?
    Thx.

    If you had access to CS5 you could save as CS5 or save as CS4 (but not CS3 or below).  But opening a CS5 Flash file in Flash CS4 produces a "unexpected file type" error.

  • Can't open canon raw files in cs4

    I recently had to rebuild my pc after a problem that stopped a few of my programs working (I'd installed xampp so I could use wordpress on the pc but it stopped cs4, firefox, video studio and a bunch of other stuff working - removal and reinstalling did no use, I had to build a new disc).
    I reinstalled cs4 and got all the updates but now I find I can't open can raw files with cs4 or bridge. I tried replacing the Camera Raw.8bi file with the latest file from adobe as per their web instructions but it still doesn't work. So I tried the adobe dng convertor (version 8.3) and ran the files through that, still no luck, I can't open the files.
    I could open them wwith canons own software and save as a tiff, but then I'm losing a lot of information.
    I'm still running vista home premium - no I can't upgrade to windows 8.1 and use the latest photoshop and lightroom software because 8.1 doesn't work with my nikon scanner or my epson large format printer. It doesn't like a few other items I have either.
    I remember I had to download a few files a couple of years ago when I first bought the pc (a whole 3 years ago) as I was having trouble with photoshop and raw files then but I can't remember the name of the file or where I got it from.
    Anyone able to help? much appreciated if you can.

    Hi John,
    Adobe told me to replace the relevant file, which I did. The trouble is that went I do this then 'camera raw' disappears from the 'help / plugins' list and there doesn't seem to be any way of getting back other than uninstalling and reinstalling cs4, and once I do this it overwrites the files again...
    I can't remember having this trouble when I first installed it a couple of years ago but I do seem to remember having to replace a file somewhere but that may have been on an earlier version.
    I have an old EOS 5d mk1 & a 7d mk1, so it's not as though the camera is unknown to cs4.

  • Unable to open newly created files using a specific font.

    Hello everyone!
    All of a sudden, I am not able to open newly created files in Acrobat Pro 9.0 that use a specific font. It seems to be localized to files that are created in Microsoft Words, as I tried to create a document in Pages and was able to open that PDF (using the same font) in Acrobat. I'm not sure what to do at this point...Any ideas?

  • Photoshop CS3 Can't Open or Create Files

    Since today I'm having problems opening or creating files.  When I try to, nothing happens.
    I tried resetting the preferenced file, but that didn't work.
    I don't have a network printer, so that can't be it either.
    Any help?

    I assume you tried this, but have you rebooted the computer?
    Has the screen resolution been set to a very small value? It needs to have at least 768 pixels vertically in order to show the Save dialog, for example.
    Is it possible the boy facilitated the download and installation of other software on the computer?

  • Unable to open or create file ... Permission denied

    I'm a new user of LC Designer ES.  After creating and saving a form, I made changes and now cannot save.  Error message in Log tab of Report palette says "PDF generated successfully.  Unable to open or create file [file name] Permission denied."  Any ideas why this would happen, and how to fix?
    Thanks for any help.

    If the file is already opened in another application (like Acrobat or Reader) then you wodul not be able to save it as those apps put a lock on the form.

  • Main's open/replace/create file.vi but write in subvi

    I'm trying to initialize the opening of a file in my main vi, but I need to pass the refnum out of the [open/replace/create file] function to the refnum input of the [write file]subvi I'm calling. The refnum data needs to go through multiple structures to get to the subvi, but I'm having trouble getting laview to tunnel from the main to the subvi refnum input. I know there is a technique to pass by reference but I'm not sure how to do this.
    Anyone know the easiest way to due this?

    Two things, first check the code I posted you a little while ago. It might give you an idea of how to do things better.
    Second, it sounds like you could be heading down a wrong path. (It's always a bad sign when things start getting really, really complicated.) Could you post a bit of your code so I can see what you are trying to accomplish?

  • InDesign CS5.5 crashes when trying to open or create files on Yosemite

    Hi,
    I've just recently migrated to a new iMac running Yosemite. Photoshop CS5.1, Illustrator 5.1 and Bridge 5.1 are working fine but I'm having major issues with InDesign CS5.5. Every time I try to open an existing file or create a new one the programme freezes and I have to force quit.
    I've trawled the forums and have done everything mentioned including uninstalling/reinstalling, removing temporary cache files and preferences, removing Data Store, deleting the Adobe font list, and removing the SING component.
    I ran Activity Monitor and have uploaded the details to Sample of InDesign - Pastebin.com and the Crash Report to http://pastebin.com/KdEEWadj
    Please help, I'm getting desperate!
    Thanks,
    Dan

    CS5.x is not compatible to Yosemite. It may or may not run, if it does never without problems.
    Adobe applications should never be installed via migration. It is always making problems in the long run. If you have done so, deinstall them immediately, run Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool (available on Adobe's Website) and install any application from it original installer.
    I recommend to upgrade to a CC subscription. CS6 might also work, but it is now very old and 2 to 3 versions after CS6 have been released. If you get a new system upgrade it is NOT guaranteed that it will work as CS6 is now at the end if not out of its product life cycle.

  • Can't open just created file in illustrator

    Hello!
    Yesterday I created 4 logos and saved them in AI and today I can't open any of them. Illustrator says it's in know format and can't be open.
    This error happens all the time for last 2 month and not only with illustrator, but with photoshop and indesign too. I can't work like this! I can't redo everything all the time.
    I use Mac with Yosemite and CC2014.
    Can someone help me? I tried restarting, clearing preferences and installing and uninstalling all the apps. illustrator

    kirito,
    It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky, at least for a while, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
    In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:
