Opening files from InDesign CC in CS3

Hi all,
I have been using the wonderful InDesign CC on trial at work with the idea of purchasing it. On the 29th day of the trial someone in the office mentions we have CS3 on a laptop somewhere with all the correct licenses etc...
I have now successfully got this onto my PC, but now none of the files open as it says I am missing a whole list of plug ins and it suggests I upgrade... I dont want to upgrade as CS3 does everything I need it to at this point.
I have a copy of CS5 on my personal macbook. Can I open them in there and do something to the files so that they will open in CS3 on my PC or is there another way round it?

You have to save any INDD file from CC in CC as IDML file.
Open that IDML file in InDesign CS4 version 6.x.
Save that IDML in InDesign CS4 again as INDD.
Export that file in InDesign CS4 as INX file.
Open that INX file in InDesign CS3 version 5.x.
Save that file in InDesign CS3 as INDD.
Realize that a lot has changed, and you have to make a bunch of work to correct these problems.
Have fun.

InCopy CS6 "Cannot Open File" from InDesign CC

I'm trying to review copy recently posted by my designer. I'm using InCopy CS6 and she recently upgraded to InDesign CC. We never had a problem before, but now I'm getting the following error:
I'm running Windows 8 and she's on a Mac (not sure which OS).
Any thoughts?

For real? I can't believe that the latest version of the standalone InCopy can't play with InDesign CC. My designer is a contractor and just spent a lot of money to upgrade to CC, and my employer didn't want to pay for all of CC, so they just got me Incopy CS6.

DW CS3 no longer opens files from SourceSafe

Dreamweaver CS3 no longer opens files from Visual SourcesSafe
2005 when you right-click and choose to View with DW, even if DW is
the registered application.
DW receives the focus, but nothing happens.
This used to function with DW 8. I have tried it on two
machines, both of which were fresh installs, so could not be
conflicting with DW 8 in anyway.
Is this a known bug?
Matt

It seems this is a known issue with Dreamweaver. I was able to access the files just fine by deselecting "display external links" in the view menu. Strange that I did not have to do this before.
For anyone interested, here are some links about this: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=12&catid=18 9&threadid=1262486&highlight_key=y&keyword1=design%20mode and http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401608&sliceId=1

Sorry, yes this is Microsoft Excel. The Microsoft XP has Excel files denoted as xl, the later versions of Microsoft Excel are denoted as xls files. The later verions of Microsoft Excel open the xl files OK, does Excel for Mac not able to do this?

Photoshop CS3 lauches but does not open files from Lightroom 2.7

These programs have been on my computer since the dawn of time and have always worked. Now all of a sudden I can't open files from LR into PS. PS launches, but the files don't open. I get that message Photoshop could not be lauched, which is ironic since the program is now open.
I haven't done anything to the programs so it makes no sense. IN the past I have had issues with PS and the tech had me create a new login on my computer and it fixed things. Tried that. No help.
Does anyone ahve any suggestions. I have repaired both programs to no avail.
Thanks for you help.

Something has gone wrong with how Lightroom finds and communicates with Photoshop.
That could be a registry string, or some preference within Lightroom.
The Lightroom forum is more likely to be able to help you solve this.

Open files from a specific directory

Dear all,
I have the following source code that simply selects files from a directory.
private void openFile()
JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser();
fileChooser.setFileSelectionMode(
JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY );
int result = fileChooser.showOpenDialog( this );
// user clicked Cancel button on dialog
if (result == JFileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION )
return;
File filename = fileChooser.getSelectedFile();
if (filename == null || filename.getName().equals( "" ))
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( this,
"Invalid File Name",
"Invalid File Name", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE );
else
// open the file
try
// Open an input stream
FileInputStream fin1 = new FileInputStream(filename);
// Read and print a line of text
BufferedReader d1 = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fin1));
abs = d1.readLine();
outputArea1.setText("");
outputArea1.append(abs + "\n\n");
outputArea1.setCaretPosition(0);
// Close our input and output stream
fin1.close();
catch (IOException e5) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Error Opening File", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
} // end catch
} // end else
} // end private
My question is: Can I force it to open files from a specific directory, and NOT from MyDocuments directory????
thanks,
vxc

\r = return
\n = linefeed
\j = illegal escape character
JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser("C:\j2sdk1.4.2\bin");
You could/should use:
(new File).pathSeparator
or
(new File).pathSeparatorChar
and
(new File).separator
or
(new File).separatorChar

Can't open files from iCloud Drive on Mac

Hi,
Can't open file from iCloud Drive on my MacBook Air (OS X 10.10.1).

I can preview the file by pressing Space, but openning from application and double-click on it doesn't work.
Files that were created earlear also not opened.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem? thanks.

Using smtp.mail.me.com - also tried smtp.me.com
SSL yes
port 587
SMTP Authentification Yes
Security SLS/TLS - also tried STARTTLS
User full **@me.com email address - also tried user name without @me.com
I have spoken to apple support this afternoon and we tried the variations shown above.
Support told me to wait for a day and try again!
After the iCloud authentication problem last night I changed all my passwords I wonder if there is an SMTP problem at me.com perhaps not reading the updated passwords?
I'll try and use the old passwords later.

How do I open files in InDesign CS5.5 CS5?

How do I open files in InDesign CS5.5 CS5?

Hi, are you trying to open up a CS5.5 document in CS5? If so you need to export the docment while in InDesign CS5.5 to the IDML format.
Please refer to this document: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6d52a.h tml#WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6d4da

How can I list open files from the same application

I often have several different files open in Word, Excel or Adobe. However only one is visible. How do I get a quick list of the other open files from an application?

Many applications have a Window menu at the top of the screen. Clicking on it will list all the open windows, as well as providing other options depending on the application.

Hi, I just downloaded and installed Photoshop cc and the Camera Raw version is not the latest one available,so now I can no longer open files from my Nikon D750! Can I update ACR?

I just downloaded and installed Photoshop cc and the Camera Raw version is not the latest one available,so now I can no longer open files from my Nikon D750! Can I update ACR?
I have been using the new version of ACR with PS6 and have been able to open the D750 files,now I'm stuck.
Thanks,
Greg E

You were probably using the Release Candidate version of camera raw 8.7, which one gets from Adobe Labs.
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw8-7-cc/index.html

PSCS6 no longer recognizes my CR2 files and will not open. Using Canon 5DMark III with updated Camera Raw . It has worked before but now won't open files from this camera.

I have been able to open files from this camera before but still checked for latest Camera Raw download. Still won't open files from this camera. Opens files from my 60D just fine. I downloaded the latest and it has worked before. What the heck is going on?

Glad to be of help. But I'm curious (not critical of what you are doing) to know why so many people like to use Nikon Transfer to transfer their files to the computer. It is still necessary to import them into Lightroom. And, from my perspective, it seems simpler and maybe even a little quicker to use the Lightroom import dialog. I have Nikon cameras, and have never even installed the Nikon Transfer utility. What is so unique about it?

Can't open files from Bridge in CS6

All was good with CS6 until today - it will not open files from Bridge. Jpg and RAW, neither will open, it's driving me bananas! Any suggestions?
Edit: Problem solved. I had overlooked an old version of PS 7.0 was still in my program files and CS6 Bridge had picked it up as default editor. Deleted PS 7.0 and everything is back to normal. Phew!

Lots of questions here, will see what I can add.
For the file problem go to preferences/file type associations. You should have the option selected CS6 for the extenstion as the default. Might try the radio button on the bottom first to set them to default settings.
If the 1.77g file you are refering to is the one you downloaded and used for installation you can delete it. It is a wise choice to save it to a DVD first so in case you need it in the future you will have it. Also save the serial number in safe place. Acutally safe is not the right word, need to save in place where you can find it if you need it next year. HD can fail.
There are still thrid party plug-ins that do not work in 64 bit mode, hence the 32 bit version. Also there is no 64 bit TWAIN so some still like to use that for scanning.
Some users experience file association and other problems with an uninstall of past versions. So it is safest to leave them be.
If you want to clean up a little resist the urge to move any Adobe programs once is is installed. Can really foul it up.

PDF Bookmarks - Change Default Width When Creating PDF File from InDesign

When creating a PDF file (from Indesign CS4) I automatically create the PDF bookmarks based on the InDesign document's Table of Contents.
But by default the width in the bookmarks is always set at "Fit Page".
Is there a way to change the default to "Fit Width" in Indesign before the PDF is created?
It's too much trouble to change every bookmark in the PDF after it's created.
Thanks for any help in advance!

Thanks, Steve. I have actually previously done what "fogharty" suggests and it does work if I want to set the pages to "fit width" or a variety of other options. However, none of the options is inherit zoom which is what I, and many other from the sound of the thread, need and want. We want to respect our end users--not dictate how they must view our PDFs. Hopefully, Adobe will listen and make this option available soon.
