Opening InDesign CS7 (CC) files in CS6 after opting out of CreativeCloud

Hi, I have opted out of Creative Cloud and decided to use just CS6 instead. Now a couple of files where created in newer versions (
as I had automatic upgrade in CC) which to my horror I cannot open now. Is there a way to open them without having to reactivate CC? Thanks for your help.

@blauraum – if you doing the export (in CC it's saving) to IDML, don't forget to export to PDF as well. Afterwards you could place the PDFs in the opened IDML (now indd file) to compare the conversion to the "original". Expect some changes…
For batch converting to IDML and PDF there is a script by Peter Kahrel:
Peter Kahrel
Batch-process (convert/export) documents (CS3 and later)
http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/batch_convert.html
If delivering "open" files to someone else, there should always be a "triad" of files:
*.indd
*.idml
*.pdf
*.indd for the people who work with the same version of InDesign.
*.idml for the people with older (CS4 and above) or newer versions.
*.pdf for all participants to show how the pages should be looking (no missing fonts, no missing images, no missing or different rendered features)

Can I open Indesign 2.0 files with cs6 or the newest version of cc?

I want to buy either cs6 or the newest version of cc. I just need to know if I can open InDesign 2.0 files with either of these newer versions?

In theory, yes, but it's hard to predict what's going to happen with that big a gap in versions. I suggest you download a trial and give it a test, and if the file opens, the very first thing you should do is save as .idml. then open that and save as a new .indd without overwriting the original.

Unable to open RAW files in CS6 after update

Hi all,
I have Photoshop CS6 and have been able to open my D4 Raw files with no issues using the Camera Raw version 7.1 plugin.
Yesterday I upgraded my Mac OS from Snow Leopard to Yosemite (a big jump I agree) and proceeded to update Photoshop to the latest version as well as installing Adobe DNG Converter 8.8.
I am apparently still using the same 7.1 plugin version as I always have but I am now no longer able to open any RAW files through Photoshop as it displays a message saying 'files not recognised' when I try to open them.
Have I skipped too many updates? Do the latest Photoshop CS6 updates leave me unable to open RAW files? Am I being pushed down the CC route?
Could anybody offer any help at all as I have a wedding to edit but cannot open any files!!! Stress!!!
I backed up my system through Time Machine before I did the update but im not sure if I restore that I will still have Yosemite OS running.
Any help or advice really is appreciated.
Many thanks.
Phil

Camera RAW should be at version 8.8 for CS6

Open InDesign 2.0 file in the CS5

I have a InDesign 2.0 file. When I open with CS5 version, the application warning the following: "Cannot open 'File.indd'. Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest version, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign."
Also the dialog box shows the item "EPS PAGE ITEM.RLPN".
How fix this? How I can to open a InDesign 2.0 file again?

Do you still have version 2.0 (which is not the same as CS2, so maybe we should calrify just what the original file is)? Will it open in the original?
If it is, in fact a version 2.0 file and will not open in version 2.0 you have a real problem and the only hope I know of would be to send it to Markzware: Fix Your Bad InDesign Files!
If you want to zip the file and send it to me, I'll have a go at opening it in a few hours, but I can't promise anything.

Opening InDesign 2.02 Files in IDCS3

Has anyone encountered any issues opening historic InDesign 2.02 files in IDCS3
Is there a list of conversion issues posted anywhere on the site.
Many Thanks
Steve

Hi Bob
When changing the font size in the top toolbar menu, if you type the font size in and hit return the value is ignored. If you leave the font size value highlighted/selected for more than a couple of seconds it deselects the value and when you type it replaces the text you have selected in the InDesign document. This also happens in the horizontal scale box. If you use the pull down menu it works fine.Just seems very buggy. I have recreated the scenario by taking the Indesign 2.02 documents to another location and the same problem is encountered. I would be happy to e-mail ftp them to see the problem.

Can't open InDesign and PPT files by double-clicking on them IN A FOLDER

PPT is MS Office 2004, all other MS programs ok. InDesign is CS4. Files are not corrupt, because they open on two more computers. The computer is brand new. I first installed Office, then CS4. The applications open, but the files don't open when I double-click on them IN A FOLDER. If I go to Open and select the file in the folder, then it opens. If I double-click on it IN A FOLDER, it doesn't open. I tried to do the Info panel thing, where you pick the program for the file, and that didn't work. Also, if I drag the file to the desktop, and double-click on it, it will open. A kind volunteer support person said there was an article about this in MACWorld in Dec. 2009, but I tried the suggestions and it still doesn't work. Basically, I need to use InDesign everyday for world, so this is a major problem.

I have a client with a similar issue regarding InDesign CS4. When double-clicking InDesign files on the server, the InDesign application will launch but the document will not open. Opening the document using the Open command in the File menu in InDesign works fine. This issue does not occur in any other CS4 application. To further complicate the matter, another user at the same location running the same version of the Mac OS (10.6.2) and CS4 does not have this issue. I have tried a fresh install of Mac OS X 10.6.2 and CS4 but the issue persists. I have tried creating a new user account and using the authentication credentials of the user that doesn't have this issue to connect to the server on the problem computer but still the issue persists. Prior to doing the fresh install, I swapped the hard drives between the two computers, but the problem stayed with the hard drive, not the computer, which is what prompted me to perform the fresh install.
Have you come across any new information?

Opening InDesign and Photoshop files

Why can't I see any .indd or .psd files in my Gallery (Android)? I know they're there - can see them in my file manager.

Hi NeithLeigh
The native Gallery app is meant for just standard image formats and does not support product specific formats, not even Adobe products. If you have InDesign or Photoshop files you wanted to import into Adobe Debut; the best way to do so is to upload your .psd and .indd files to the Adobe Creative Cloud Files website https://creative.adobe.com/ from your desktop and then import them into Adobe Debut on your tablet through the Creative Cloud option.

Can't open InDesign 5.5 file in CS5.5

We've received a set of InDesign files from a designer which has been created in CS5.5. I just tried to open the indd file on our production laptop, using InDesign CS5.5 and I'm getting an error message 'CannotConvertNewerDocument'.
I can't understand why this might be happening - I've tried searching forums but can't seem to find anyone else with the same issue. Has anyone else come across this?
The laptop is running Windows 7.
Thanks

Absolutely saved as CS6:
Here's your IDML file which should open fine. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2548785/ABSINT9vaknr.idml

Unable to open Nikon D750 RAW files in CS6

Hi all, this is my first time on the forum so please go easy on me!
I have been running cs6 on an iMac Snow Leopard version up until today and have had no problems opening any raw files from either my Nikon D700 or D4. Today I decided I should update my OS and am now running Yosemite.
I Did this as my assistant at a recent wedding has provided me with raw files from a Nikon D750 and I was unable to open them or even update the camer raw plugin through snow leopard (I took a 'if it's not broke then dont fix it' approach to software updates!).
I have now run updates for photoshop through the Help / Updates tabs and these are all up to date.
I have also updated camer raw / dng converter to version 8.8 which supports the D750.
however, I am now no longer able to open any raw files through photoshop. I just get a message saying photoshop does not recognise the file type. I cannot even view the thumbnails of the D750 images in finder.
I Have found the camer raw plugin in my files (through library / Adobe / plugins / cs6 etc.) but this is still detailing a 7.1 version plugin from 2012. I have also found the dng converter version 8.8 in one of the main folders which is different to the existing plugin location although I feel I am out of my depth with this now.
I am obviously doing something incorrect but I'm not sure what. Any help would be extremely appreciated.
many thanks.
Phil

Hi John,
I am running Plugin version 7.3.0.71 (dated 2012). I suppose I need to remove this plugin and replace it with the 8.8 version DNG converter do I?
At the risk of sounding simple, what is the difference between a Camera Raw Plugin and DNG Converter?
At the moment the Camera Raw plugin is in the following folder: Library / Application Support / Adobe / Plug-Ins / CS6 / File Formats.
The new 8.8 DNG Converter is located in directly in the Applications folder.
Yesterday I tried replacing the plugin with the DNG converter in the File Formats folder but this didn't seem to do anything (I deleted the camera raw plugin at the same time).
Thanks for your reply and I hope the above means something to you.

Can't open a CS5.1 file in CS6 - "An unknown error has occured"

Hi guys,
I have a CS5.1 AI file I can still open in 5.1 just fine, but when I try open it in CS6, I get :
Any ideas!?
Im confused.

Sadly, no. It is over 500mb.
However! I just ran the updater, and it now works... go figure!

Problem opening Samsung NX1100 SRW files in CS6 and Lightroom 4

I bought a Samsung NX1100 and want to shoot in Raw format. My CS6 Bridge and Photoshop will not open the SRW files though. I downloaded the lightroom 4 that came with the camera and that will not read the SRW files either. How do I access my SRW files?

I'm having much the same problem, except I'm shooting with an EX2F. I've tried reinstalling CS6 (I have extended) and updating to the latest patches, but no go. Photoshop and Bridge can see the files, but cannot open them or draw thumbnails for them. I have also tried installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I get the same result with this.
I'm on a Macbook Pro, lastest OS with latest updates.
I saw on another thread somewhere that changing the file extension from .SRW to .CRW is the fix. I tried this with a couple of files but again I am still unable to open the files.
Apparently there's a raw converter for Samsung cameras but I haven't been able to find it. which is available on the Samsung website NX200 - DOWNLOADS | SUPPORT | SAMSUNG I don't know if it converts to JPG or another RAW format yet. Hopefully the link doesn't get wiped and it's useful to someone else.
EDIT: Looks like it's a standalone RAW developer. It only outputs jpg or TIFF.

Freezing while opening Indesign CS5.5 files

I'm having difficulty opening CS5.5 files. I designed them in CS3. Then I got CS5.5 and opened them in that and saved them.
Every time I try to reopen them they freeze up. More specifically, if I double click a CS5.5 Indesign file, it freezes up EVERY time.
If a drag it to the Indesign CS5.5 icon in my dock, it freezes up consistently every other time--asking me if I want to postpone the recovery.
My fonts libraries and caches are clean. I've run font nuke. I've installed Suitease Fusion 3.
I was thinking that this might have to do with Helvetica Neue conflicts. My document utilizes this font.
I've tured off open fonts automatically in fontbook and Suitcase Fusion 3.
Any ideas?

As long as there's a problem in the recovery folder you will continue to have a problem on startup. Move the contents of the Recovery folder to a new location, like the desktop, and launch ID, then try to open the files using File > Open...
Other users report problems from time to time with CS3 and CS4 files opened in CS5 (and presumably 5.5), some of which do not show up until major editing has been completed. I recommend exporting the documents from CS3 to .inx and open the .inx in CS5.5.

Can't open a video .mp4 file into CS6

How do I load an .mp4 file into Photoshop CS6 from Bridge? I followed the video tutorial from Adobe - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/new-video-features-photoshop-cs6.html - which says to load them into Photoshop as layers and I keep getting an error message in Photoshop that says I have to select 2 videos. So I selected 2 videos and still get the same error. I don't know what else to do.
I've also tried from Bridge to select the .mp4 file then go to File > Open with > Photoshop CS6 and I get the following error - Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.

Sounds like you're trying to import the wrong file type. You can't import MP4.
Video import formats
MPEG‑4
MP4 is MPEG-4, which is on the import list you provided.
It's a container format, so I expect whether Photoshop opens or rejects an MP4 will depend on the codec(s) of the contained media.
MP4 containing H.264 video and AAC audio, probably the most commonly used codecs in MP4, certainly open in Photoshop CS6 and play for me.

Opening InDesign 2.0 files in CS2/CS3

Dear people who know,
I tried to research this a bit but did not readily find an answer or pointers that worked, so forgive me if I've overlooked something.
I used to have acess to InDesign 2.0 on which I created several layout. The media school where I teach has both CS2 and CS3 available. I would like to have access to my files to either update them or to resave them at ubiqutous PDF files. Problem is, I cannot open them. Does anyone have any experience migrating files upward using InDesign. I am vexed as to why Adobe would break the compatibilty path in any case, but that is a whole nother show...
Thanks for any insights!
Desperately seeking closure
PS: I can provide a file if necessary.

I haven't' seen a reference to this other thread here; perhaps Tommy would be interested in seeing your file. Drop him a note.

Re: InDesign - need a "Fix my Corrupted File" Upload Service
Folks:
If you have sent me a document in the last few weeks, I apologize for my slow responses. I was out of the office in mid-March and have just recently gotten the chance to look at the ones I've received.
Over the last few week, a couple folks have posted messages, asking me to look at files. Just send them my way--there is no need to ask.
If your file is small enough for email, you can send them directly to me ([email protected]).
For larger files, you can post them somewhere for me to download, or you can upload them to our customer support FTP server. Here are instructions uploading to our FTP server:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402038
When using the FTP site, please create a folder with distinguishing name, transfer your files to that folder, and then send me an email to let me know the files are there for me to take a look at.
Important note: The most common type of corruption that we now see is caused by hardware problems, indicated by the checksum failure that I described in my last post. Running disk utilities regularly is recommended to help avoid these errors.
Thanks,

How can I stop MS Word from automatically trying to open help and tutorial files in CS6 apps?

I recently purchased a Creative Cloud subscription and downloaded the CS6 apps. Whenever I click a link to a tutorial or .pdf help file from any of myapps, MS Word automatically activates and attempts to open the file. Because of this, I cannot activate the tutorials. How do I correct this software conflict?
