Opening CS5.5 file into CS4

The office I worked at got the InDesign 5.5 trial. In the middle of working on a docu the trial ended.
They do have the Creative Suite 4 cd, but I'm unable to open the CS5.5 file into CS4.
Changing the file to a .IMDL didn't work, but also not sure if I didn't do it right.

One of the staff members has CS5 on her laptop, so I just put the file on a flashdrive and try to open it and I got these.

Opening CS5 files in Fireworks CS4

Hi all,
I work at a web dev/design company, and we are very eager to upgrade to CS5. However, there are just two of us that use Fireworks extensively (and I mean, we both use it a LOT!). If we were to upgrade, we'd have to upgrade everyone, and this would cost us a bunch of $'s.
If we were to only upgrade 2 of our users from Fireworks CS4 to Fireworks CS5, would our colleagues be able to open CS5 files in FW CS4?
Has anyone had any experience with this?
Thanks for any/all suggestions!

I just opened a small graphics file I created in FWCS4 in FWCS5 without any problems. It's possible that if your files use features that don't exist in CS4 you'll have problems opening them.

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.

Editing CS5 files in CS4

I started a project in CS5 and I now have to work in CS4. I can't edit the files I have been working on because of the unavaliable capabilities. How can I fix this problem?

So you already somehow opened the CS5 file in CS4?
Then look into the layers panel and see what you've got. Most probably it's either a group or a clipping path. Release it and then edit.
But you would be better off if you first used CS5 to save the file down to CS4 and then edit it.

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.
Here you have some resource

I can't open CS5 documents in CS4

I can't open CS5 documents in CS4. I know I need to update my plugins, but when I go to updates it says there are none. I have a hardcopy of CS4, is there a way to download CS4 electronically so I can receive all the updates I need? I have no idea how to do this manually . . . or maybe I just need to upgrade to CS5?

Or else you need to update CS4 to the 6.0.6 patch...

Open a file into a java app - HOW DO YOU DO IT!!

I have written an html/php editor - I want to set it up so that when you double click on a php file in windows it will open the file into my java ide.
I know this can be done - but how!!! There does not seem to be any info on the web about it - can anyone give me some pointers.
Thanks

Yeah - but the problem is: You can only set files to
open with a .exe file - if you go to the settings and
set the .php file to "open with" you have to select a
.exe file e.g. notepad.exe
However you can't create .exe files in java!!!! So how
do you do it?You have to spend $$$'s
However many /most converters don't work without the relevant updated JVM (but they are *.exe, kind of)

I uploaded a AI CS5 file into a Cloud Folder with Plug-ins. But its empty in Adobe Ideas.

I uploaded an AI CS5 file into a Cloud Folder with Plug-ins. But its empty in Adobe Ideas. I'd like to work on it with the touch version. Any ideas?

The link should have worked, I just clicked on it and went to the correct forum. Anyway, in the top left you should see a breadcrumb trail like Adobe Forums > Adobe Creative Cloud > Discussions. Click on Adobe Forums and click on the drop-down labeled Select Forum. Type 'i' to reach the i choices and select Ideas.

IPad Mini - Unable to open mobi files into another app...

Just got an iPad mini and it appears that I can't open mobi files on my Kindle app. I also have an iPad3 and I have no problems opening mobi files on my Kindle app on it.
Basically I put my mobi e-books on skydrive and when I want to put them in the Kindle app I just select to open the files in another app and I can select the Kindle app. I am unable to do this with my iPad mini.
Both my iPad3 and Mini are running IOS 6.1.3. I did some google searches and found that this may be an issue with some iPads running 6.1.3. I installed a file manager app on my Mini and it appears that it sees the mobi files as rar format files so it does not give me the option to open them with the Kindle app.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this issue? I was planning on using my Mini as my primary e-book reader and I was hoping to be able to do this without having to convert all my mobi files into mother format
Any help resolving this issue will be much appreciated!

After trying various different things and resetting my Mini to factory default several times I was able to figure out how to open the mobi files I have on Skydrive and Dropbox in my Kindle app.
I had to delete both my Skydrive and Dropbox apps and do it through the web browser. I was able to download the mobi file with Safari and open the file in the Kindle app.
Firest I reset my Mini setup and installed only the Kindle, Skydrive and Dropbox apps. I could not open a mobi file into the Kindle app with either The Skydrive or Dropbox app. I even reset my Mini and installed the Kindle app with just Skydrive and then reset it again and tried with just Kindle and Dropbox installed I could not get it work.
Finally, I reset again and installed only the Kindle app and used Skydrive through Safari and it worked just fine. I tested it with Dropbox and Safari and it also worked.
So basically, for whatever reason, my iPad Mini just can not open mobi files into the kindle app using either the Skydrive or Dropbox app. However, my iPad3 running the same IOS and app versions can do it just fine. Go figure...

How to open an InDesign CS5 file in CS4 - error message.

I worked on a file in Mac's OS Adobe CS5 InDesign
at school; emailed it to my home address; tried to open it in Windows
XP Adobe CS4 (I've done the same thing with other InDesign
files recently without problems) and received the following error message:
"Cannot open "file name". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign." To the left is a list of 18 (!) plug-ins.
Of course when I click "OK" I'm sent back to a blank .indd screen.
Solutions? Suggestions? More info needed?
Any and all assistance will be appreciated.

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.

Cannot deinstall ps cs4 and bridge cs5 open all files in CS4 instead of Cs5

I temporarily could not make the Eastman Kodak ROC Professional plug-in work in my PS CS5 so I tried other programs to use this plug-in in. I therefore installed an old PS Elements 5 and PS CS4 (my present PS CS5 is bougth as an update from CS4) . However now the plug-in works fine in my PS CS5 and I of course prefer to work in this. I have, however, acquired a new problem: The only way I can open picture files in PS CS5 is via the files menu in Photoshop itself. If I try to open via Bridge (and it is Bridge CS5) I can only open the files in PS CS4. I cannot deinstall PS CS4. Bridge CS5 states that "open in PS CS4 is the default action".
Sorry if this is a foolish question.
Git Amager1

Sorry not to have reacted to the above for so long. Even after doing as you proposed things did not work. In the end I (after the Christmas Holidays) I did reinstall the pc - changed from Vista to windows 7. I do not know what caused the problem initially but at least I think I can conclude that one should not install the cs4 software after having installed cs5. Thank you for your support.

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 RAW files in CS4

I recently bought the 5d mk2 and I cannot open RAW files. Had no problem with my 20D but 5D does not work. Tried to put new plug in into the plugin folder but it says that it is not recognised by windows or there is an error in it. Anyone help?

The only other thing I can think of is that when you installed 5.7 you put the older version in a location where it should not have been. If you are keeping an older copy it cannot be anywhere in the Adobe folder structure. It's best to just get rid of it completely. You can always download another copy if necessary. I know, this is a dumb question, but are you certain you are using Photoshop CS4?

Trying to open CS5 in InDesign CS4

I am working with another graphic designer and she saved her InDesign CS5 file as a InDesign CS4. When I tried to open it in my Academic version of InDesign CS4 version 6.0 I received the following error screen -
Any suggestions - How do I update plugins or tell whether they need updated?
When moving files from CS5 to CS4 - do you have any tips?

CS5 file must be exported to IDML which you can then open in CS4.
Don't expect the document to look the same as it does in CS5. Text will reflow and any new features will be lost or badly mangled.
In short, if you have to work with someone on CS5 you should upgrade.

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.
