Opening InDesign CS3 files in InDesign CS2

I know that I can open a CS2 file in CS3 but is there any way to go backwards and open a CS3 file in CS2. Is there any certain file type that I can save as to make this work and have the file still editable or am I out of luck?

And my experience with CS3 to CS2 via INX exports, all graphics inherite a black border. Even graphic elements pasted from Illustrator will gain the nasty effect, pictures box that use to be without stroke and fill will gain the feature.
A lot of cleanning, unless the export quirk was solved since
But beside that the type seems unaltered

  • Opening Indesign CS3 files in Indesign 2.0

    Can any one assist in opening Indesign CS3 files in Indesign 2.0 please.
    Many Thanks.

    That is not possible. InDesign 2.0 is four versions ago. You can use InDesign Interchange format to get back to CS2 (and if you have CS2, you can use it again to get back to CS, but that's as far as it goes).

  • Saving InDesign CS4 files for InDesign CS2

    I'm about to upgrade from CS3 to CS4 but have a client who needs to open documents I create InDesign CS2. I've been saving files for this clients in CS3's interchange (.inx) format, which has worked fine. But CS4 .inx files will only open in CS3. One work around I found was on TUAW (http://www.tuaw.com/2009/05/08/tuaw-tip-saving-indesign-cs4-files-for-indesign-cs2/), which suggests opening the .inx file in a text editor and changing the version number. The resulting file should then open in CS4. I was wondering if anyone has tried this (with or without success) or has any advice on saving CS4 docs for CS2? Thanks very much!

    I'll go with option 3 since I no longer have CS2 on my machine and my
    client won't be upgrading anytime soon. Thanks for the help and great
    advice.
    I'd never use this workflow if I couldn't test it on CS2 before sending it off to the client. Don't know what to tell you here... good luck?
    Me, harsh? Is that my rep?
    Oh, come on. I can say it another way:
    "Peter's going to be way too nice about this... DON'T DO IT."

    How do you open a cs7 file in indesign cc?

    When you say InDesign CC, doo you mean the InDesign CC release from this year, or are you still using InDesign CS6 through a cloud subscription? There are a lot of users confused by this.
    If you have CS6 through a subscription you are entitield to the new version for free and should go to creative.adobe.com and download the newest version of the Creative Cloud Desktop Application and get the new versions of the applictions you use.

  • How can I open quarkxpress 8 files with indesign?

    Hi, prior to purchasing CC a sales person whom I spoke with using online chat confirmed that InDesign would open QuarkXpress files and a plugin was already in the application.
    I can't open any quark files from InDesign. Can this be done without purchasing a third party plug-in?
    Thanks in advance

    InDesign can natively open Quark 4.x and 3.x files only. To open anything
    later you’ll need a copy of Q2ID from Markzware.

  • Opening InDesign CS4 Files in InDesign CS2?

    This is a long-shot, but does anyone know if it is possible to open files created or modified in the current version of InDesign in the much older CS2 version of the application? The files need to be fully editable in InDesign CS2.

    Keep in mind, though, that
    1) Three versions are involved here. The CS4 user needs CS3 so he/she can save to INX twice.
    2) Usages of features available in CS4 and CS3 but not available in CS2 will come out fairly well messed up once you get the file into CS2.
    3) Line wrap in CS2 will not match line wrap in CS4 or CS3 exactly. Adobe has tweaked the H&J engine through both upgrades.
    Don't count on roundtripping your document without a lot of work. If you need to roundtrip, you're going to be better off either upgrading to CS4 or keeping the document in one version or the other and marking corrections through PDF.

  • Opening FreeHand MX file in InDesign CS2

    InDesign can't open FreeHand files, regrdless of the
    extension. For edit=

    Illustrator, however=

    older) first.=
    You can extract some elements, export as eps or pdf, etc.
    and import in=

    You can of course use 30 day demo of FreeHand for editing.

  • Opening Pagemaker 5 files in InDesign CS3

  • Open PMD 7 files in Indesign CS2

    I used to be able to open my Pagemaker 7 files using InDesign CS2 - but now get a mssg saying the files are damaged (they're not since I can still open them in PM). Any ideas?

    Should be a Windows Update link in the start menu, or just go to the Microsoft site and I'm sure you'll find a link. Use Internet Eplorer -- for some reason Windows update seems incompatible, at least for me, with FireFox.
    Also, to avoid this problem in the future you need to go into your Automatic Update settings (Control Panel > Windows Security Center > Automatic Updates) and switch from Automatic to Dowload updates and let me choose when to install. After you do that you'll see a notifier in the system tray when there are new updates. One more thing you need to do is when you click on updates (and this is true in Windows Update online as well) switch from Express Install to custom so you can deselect the stuff you don't want (like SP3, if you want to open PM7 files in ID CS2). After you deselect an item or items and say ok, you'll see a warnign dialog that has a checkbox for "don't show me these updates again" and you should check it for SP3 in particular.
    I don't know what it was in SP3 that updated to Vista code. I've been accepting all security patches and individual Windows patches without the service pack (I rolled back, myself), and I can open PM files fine.

  • 'failed to open the PDF file' error - Indesign CS3 on Mac

    Hi,
    Whenever I place PDFs that were created by any other app besides indesign or Illustrator I get a 'failed to open the PDF file' error, previously these PDFs were fine to place but all of a sudden they're not... Help?
    I'm not too keen on opening in Illustrator and resaving for the rest of the foreseeable future either...

    Thanks for the reminder, Scott.

  • Funny acting indesign cs3 files.

    Hi
    I am using Indesign cs3 on  win xp. Recently when I started saving my Indesign files, they are saved with an photoshop icon. Therefore when I double click on the PS icon the computer opens photoshop but does not open the file. It is showing that it is a indd file and I can open it by first launching Indesign and opening it with the Indesign program. That way it opens fine. Has anyone else had this program? Can anyone help?
    WV Dan

    You need to set indesign as the default program to open files with .indd extension. Various ways to do it but I think you will find one easier than I can tell you, maybe start by right-clicking on an indesign file... then 'open with' etc

  • Can't open CS3 file with my CS2 bc of plug-ins...please advise

    I'm supposed to make revisions to a large book, client provided me with CS3 files that had been (supposedly) converted to open in CS2 but when I try to open it says first that I'm missing two plug-ins. When I click to proceed anyway, it lists a whole bunch of plug-in errors and says I can't open it unless I "Upgrade my plug-ins" or get the latest software.
    I plan to get CS4...but I can't do it yet. And this job needs to get done asap. Any suggestions?

    Are the files you are trying to open .indd or .inx? It sounds like they're still CS3 .indd files, and you need .inx to open in CS2 (plus you need to be fully patched to the last build).
    There are going to be issues with any features that were used in CS3 that don't exist in CS2, as well as probable changes to how lines wrap inside text frames due to differences in the text engines. This is not a good round-trip file sharing method unless further editing can all be done in CS2.
