    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

  • Can't open files in bridge cs5

    I'm unable to double click on any type of file and have it open in the appropriate cs5 exe file. In 64bit photoshop the mini bridge shows files but I can't double click, I have to right click  and tell the file to open. In 32 bit the mini won't show any files. Not sure why this is happening, cs4 bridge worked fine any suggestions???

    There is some problems with mini-bridge.  Go to
    the photoshop forum and find that thread.   May this will help.  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/628677?tstart=0

  • Can't Open Files in InDesign CS5 Made with CS5.5

    I created a file in InDesign CS5.5 and can't open the file in InDesign CS5. I received many errors stating that I needed to update my plugins. Not sure what that means. Any help would be appreciated.

    Try telling students who barely have two nickels to rub together these days that they have to outlay $400-500 dollars every year to be able to keep up to date with the programs at their schools. I can barely get these kids to package their files properly and now they have to remember to export their files to idml and remember to put them in their folders before they copy it onto their external hard drive to bring it home to work on. Is it really necessary to update every bloody year and charge these kids so much to upgrade. And this time only for a .5 upgrade?  A lot of these kids have parents that are sacrificing every thing to pay for their kids college education. What message is adobe sending to these kids? That the study of graphic design is only for the rich who can afford to upgrade every year. Have a heart in this economy.
    Your points about the hardship of expensive learning materials, and the extra work involved in saving to IDML, are all valid.
    If/when online applications come into common use, some of the issues may fade away, because the newest and older versions will always be available for a user to choose from.
    In the meantime, perhaps some of these suggestions will be useful:
    * Adobe's volume licensing plan (VLP, I think) and transactional licensing plan (TLP) have been mentioned in this forum, in regard to the option of buying licenses for earlier releases. My thought is that your school could "freeze" their installations at a useful recent release, to extend the useful life of a student's own purchased educational copy. Search Google for terms like "InDesign volume license transactional license" without quotes. Also, perhaps someone who knows more about these options will jump in here.
    * Unless there are compelling class needs for the new features in new releases, there's no need to upgrade. Depending on the course's level, some features wouldn't be needed for lower-level classes; for the higher-level classes, use the newer software.
    * If possible, allow students to install DropBox, or other  online storage software, on the school computers, so they can save files remotely, and access them from any Internet connection. This won't eliminate the saving to IDML step, but it can eliminate the copy-to-transport-media step, simplifying things a bit. There may be security and other IT issues here to be worked out.
    * For students who intend to enter the design career, it may be less expensive to buy an upgradeable non-educational license, or even - shudder - a subscription. Subscriptions, I believe, can be activated and deactivated for specific periods, like rental cars, so, for example, if/when a student graduates and takes a job where the employer provides the software, or the student doesn't need the software for a semester or quarter, the subscription can be idled, and there's no cost. If the student becomes an independent designer, the subscription can be reactivated when there's work to be done. I believe Bob Levine once posted a comparison, on this forum, of cost-to-license InDesign, for subscriptions vs. other licensing methods. Bob?
    Sometimes folks compare the ongoing cost of software and upgrades to other industries and careers that don't seem to have the same issues. However, the tools needed in many industries and careers are no longer so static, as in the past. Carpenters who worked with manual tools could use hammers, screwdrivers, etc., until they wore out or broke, but  the introduction of electric nail drivers, screwdrivers, and drills forced production carpenters to upgrade their tools. Perhaps the increased output of mechanized tools balanced their increased cost. Draftsmen's triangles, T-squares, pens, etc., don't need upgrades, but there have been about 20 AutoCAD software releases for them to keep up with.
    Recently I had to replace my 1991 stick-shift car with a "new-to-me" 2005 model. It's like all the newer cars I've rented at times - automatic everything. I've done most maintenance and repair on the old one, and I always carried tools in case something broke on the road, and I could fix it myself. The new car is a disaster; the only fixing and maintenance I might possibly do is change a flat tire, add fuel, window-washer juice, oil, power brake and steering fluids, wash the exterior, vacuum the interior, set radio-station presets, and change the battery in the remote-control device that opens and locks the doors, and activates the entire computerized beast. There's nothing for me to do but open the doors, get in, turn on the engine, and aim in some direction.
    Mechanics, whose basic-level wrenches and ignition-timing strobe lights were capable of doing an amazing range of tasks over decades of model changes, now need annual expensive software upgrades for the computerized tools that troubleshoot and maintain the modern rolling computers that have replaced cars as some of us knew them.

  • Cannot Open Files in PS CS5

    Hi folks..I am unable to open files/create new files in Photoshop CS5....the P logo in the top left is greyed out (don't know if this is significant)..
    Can anyone help here?
    Thanks!
    Debbie

    The Ps logo is gray by design in Photoshop CS5.
    However, being unable to create or open files is out of the ordinary.
    Do you have a display with 1024 x 768 pixels or larger?  It's a known issue that the Save dialog won't come up on displays that are smaller than that.
    If that's not the issue, there have been several other users who have reported issues opening or creating files in recent days...

    Unfortunately I don't think anyone's been able to get to the bottom of what the various folks who are experiencing these failures have in common, or even come up with a workaround short of rebooting Windows.  You folks all need to list what hardware and software you have to try to find out what you have in common.

  • How to open files in PS CS5?

    1) I installed Photoshop CS5 under Windows 7 64-bit and used it and Bridge successsfully.  However, when I download a new jpg file, it wont open in CS5 - if you right click the file, it offers many MS programs and also PS Elements, but not Photoshop. It is not even on the list of programs. What am I doing wrong?
    2) I ended up with two desktop icons:  PS CS5 32-bit and ditto 64-bit.  Which one am I supposed to use?   Why two?

    If its not on the list you need to browse to the photoshop Icon and select it as the application you want to open JPG's with, you will likely end up with this situation with all your image files.
    You can fix it easier by using the bridge, and selecting the file types that way, or  you can do what i did...  you open the bridge, choose file type assosiations from the list. click the reset to default, Uninstall and reinstall CS5 and it will fix its self right up. 
    It has something to do with the previous install that causes it.

  • Cannot open file exported from CS5 as .idml into CC2014.

    I'm trying to open a file created in InDesign CS5 in the newest CC version of InDesign.
    It is a large (2GB) file comprised entirely of placed images.
    I found a thread that suggested exporting as idml.
    I did export from CS5 as idml which made the file size a mere 195 MB.
    When I tried to open it in CC2014 I got the error message:
    Cannot open the file "name.indd"  Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in
    that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.
    I had quit from CS5 before attempting to open the file in CC2014.
    I had thought that exporting as .idml would change the file type suffix from
    .indd to .idml but I'm not in the weeds enough to be sure about that.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance.
    Roger

    I had thought it might be.
    I preserved my original (created in CS5) and saved a copy
    to try it in CC 2014. The copy wouldn't open in CC.
    I deleted this copy and tried again with a new copy
    Tried to open in CC - no go.
    Opened the new copy in CS5 - no problem.
    If the file were corrupt, would it still open in CS5, or is this
    a forward compatibility issue?

  • Opening file crashes Indesign CS5.  What now?

    I was able to find a discussion about this, but it seem like it ended without a solution.
    If this is a font issue, is there a solution to this?  I went to Font Book and cleared out any errors from all my fonts.
    I created multiple backup files for this particular file and none of them open.  All of them crashes my Indesign CS5.
    Any suggestion on what I can do?

    thanks John.  The font thing worked.
    Great. What do you have to do around here to get Correct Answer points, anyhow? ()
    Anyhow, I guess I should post the relevant stack trace in case other people have the same problem and are searching for it, since it got edited out above:

  • Cannot open file in Indesign CS5

    This is the error message I get:
    Please help

    Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
    You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X  or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

  • Unable to open file in Premier CS5.5 after exporting in After Effects CS5.5

    I have the Master Suite and I have the exact same error.  Very frustrating considering I waited 2 HOURS for it to render last night.  I get the exact same ERROR!!!  Please help.

         I am using the trial version of the Master Suite with Adobe Premier and After Effects.  The main problem I am having is using the Warp Stabilizer in After Effects.  Once the video is brought in to the program and the 'Stabilize' or 'Track' feature is pushed, I have to wait hours, then the program freezes up and I have to close it.  Otherwise, if I only bring in a smaller sequence that was rendered in Premier, that seems to work better/faster in After Effects, but then I render it again after the stabilization in After Effects, but am having problems exporting it to Premier.  I have tried using the Dynamic Link, but then Premier freezes up. 
    Any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated.  I am using Vista Home Premium, Dell 64-bit, and the new versions of Adobe Master Suite (trial version). 
    Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Can`t open files in CS5.1 Illustrator

    I can`t open files in Ai CS5.1 . This problem has appeared the last week, I have been using this program every week for the last two years. The message I get is: The file was generated by a newer version of Illustrator.
    I have tried to download CS6, but the message I get is: You don`t need this update.
    So what can I do to make this work??

    jannemarete,
    In addition to what Scott and PrintFusion said, the offending file(s) could have been created in either CS6 or CC.
    In the latter case you will need to download the CC trial (you can use that for CS6 files as well, but there is no need to squander that option before you have some CC files do deal with).
    The CC download can be made from this link:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads.html?promoid=JZEFS
    An easier option may be to ask for a CS5 version when you receive files from others with CS6 or CC. Also, if you do that, any version induced change in the files will be on them.

  • Can't export an EPS file from Photoshop CS5 and open in Illustrator CS5.

    I'm on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
    I am making DVD covers for print. The barcodes for the DVD covers have to be done in Illustrator. But the original designs are done in photoshop including the text. For years this hasn't been a problem. Right before adding the barcodes I create an EPS file from photoshop, open that file in Illustrator and all my text is automatically coverted to perfect crisp clean vectors, viola! I add the barcodes and export the PDF for the printers.
    But now I can't open my EPS files in Illustrator CS5 even though I'm exporting them the same way I always have from Photoshop CS5. Illustrator says... "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error." --> Note it does not give an error number after this warning like I see it does for so many other people.
    I have been trying to fix this for over 10 HOURS spanning 2 days! I'm infuriated I can't get help from Adobe on this and have read all the forums and don't see my problem listed anywhere.
    I've tried:
    - Deleting the .plist file and the Settings folder & resetting my permissions
    - Uninstalling and Reinstalling Illustrator
    - Turning off all other applications
    - Creating more disk space on my hard drive (even though I have 200gb available)
    - Restarting the computer
    - Disabling my Font book and still I can't open the EPS file
    I thought maybe it's possible it's the font I'm using Fontesque OT so I even tried converting text to objects prior to exporting the EPS file from photoshop to illustrator and turning off my font book, but still it won't open. And if I open the PSD directly in Illustrator, text comes out a bit fuzzy in the PDF I export.
    If anyone can provide any solutions I would be so grateful! I'm at my wits end here, this should have taken under an hour to do and now it's ruining my entire weekend. I'm completely panicked because I was suppose to have these to my client over the weekend so they could turn them in for Print frist thing on Monday morning and of course Adobe provides no chat support or phone support after 7pm on weekday or on the weekend which is when this all started.

    I never even thought of reinstalling photoshop, but I think this was a font issue. I'd never saved an EPS with Fontesque OT Regular enabled, only Fontesque OT Bold. Somehow I think the font was causing the problem because ridding the font from the equation allowed me to open the EPS file.
    After 12 HOURS of trying different things I found a WORK AROUND...
    I had to:
    - Select the Text in Photoshop (with Fontesque OT enabled)  --> Select Create Work Path --> Covert to Shape on each of the text items
    - Save EPS file out of Photoshop
    - Disable Fontesque OT font in Font Book
    - Then open EPS in Illustrator add in my Barcodes and export the PDF
    (the barcodes have to be added in Illustrator because they need to be pure 100% black with no CMYK color in them. You can't save them out of Photoshop that way, only Illustrator, otherwise I would have made my pdf straight out of photoshop like any other normal human
    This work around is the only way I could get the EPS files to open in Illustrator and still have the text remain super crisp like a vector.
    NOTE to others in the future about crisp text from Photoshop to Illustrator:
    - Simply "converting to shape" did not preserve the vector. You have to Select Create Work Path --> then Covert to Shape on each of the text items (with the font enabled) for this to work and preserve the crispness of the text. Even creating "smart object" did not truly preserve my vectors or the text crispness in the EPS file once I imported it into Illustrator.
    DrStrik9 thank you SO MUCH for trying to help me. You did give me ideas that helped me figure out the workaround and also helped me feel not so alone as I struggled through this. I'm going to follow up with your other suggestions about reinstalling photoshop and also checking my RAM, etc. But I just want to that you so so so SOOOO much for all your time and consideration in this matter. I hope you have a wonderful amazing week ahead and that someone does something very nice and thoughtful for you too

  • Open a URL link in the same window as SWF file in indesign CS5

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a SWF file using indesign CS5.  I have created buttons and placed in URL links but they always open another window.  I would like to know if there is a way to have the URL open in the same window that the SWF file has been created.  I tried, putting "_self" to target it in the URL bar, but nothing works.
    Thanks in advance
    TK

    Okay, I found the code but I can't get it to work locally.  If you have a web server maybe you can upload the files (swf and html) after you Publish them:
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://www.google.com");
    testlink.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickText);
    function clickText(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
    navigateToURL(myURL, "_self");
    you have to have on the stage a link element called "testlink" (see the code above) which would be a Movie Clip with the label testlink.  It can be anything from InDesign:  a button, a rectangle, a circle, a graphic, you get the idea.  Just select that object in Flash and label it testlink or anything you choose but if you change the name from testlink also change the name in the code snippet where the line "addEventListener" is.

  • Edit in Photoshop CS5 from Lightroom 3.2 doesn't open file in Photoshop

    Hi,
    I've just made a complete fresh install of Lightroom 3.2 and Photoshop CS5 extended on my new iMac (OS 10.6.4, x64)
    Now I'm trying to edit raw-files in Photoshop CS5.
    Normally a popup should appear to ask in which format the photo should be opened in PS.
    But no popup is shown, Photoshop starts immediately, but without actually opening the photo.
    If I configure Photoshop as secondary editor this problem does not appear, and everyting works fine.
    But in that case I miss the option for a secondary editor like for example DxO...
    What to do?
    Regards,
    Menno

    Menno,
    I can't help you with your primary problem, as I'm not a CS5 user.
    But regarding your second concern with having CS5 as a secondary editor and therefore not having the option for additonal external editors:
    You can have as many external editors as you like, e.g. CS5 as one, DXO as one, Nik Viveza as one and so on. All you have to do is create different External Editor Presets in Preferences for each desired external editor.
