Opening Mac ID CS6 IDML-document on Windows ID CS4

If I create an IDML-document with my Mac InDesign CS6, can I (or my clients) open it on Windows InDesign CS4? Are there any problems, that may occur?

Yes, there are a lot.
Even if they will be able to open it, the document will change:
New versions have new functions wich will be lost or converted in a very different and unexpected way.
Even if the function exists, the realisation between versions might be different and cause changes.
Improved old functions may cause a change.
Bugs in the IDML process will cause changes.
Another problems are the fonts. The Mac can read Windows fonts, Windows can't read mac-only fonts. Use OTF at the best.

  • I cannot open the word or PPT documents on windows explorer

    I have set up WD My Cloud on my Mac and PC (windows 7).
    I am having a problem when I am trying to remotely access the Word and PPT documents on PC (Windows explorer console)... when I double click on a specific word or PPT I get the message: "The server wdmycloud-device 2443682 wd2go is asking for your username and password. The server reports it is from Device Driver".  I fill in the My Cloud username and password in the pop-up window....but nothing happens?!??" I would highly appreciate any feedback.   

    This is a known issue. See the following WD Suupport link for more information. Microsoft Office documents in a device connected through WD My Cloud Remote Web Access cannot be opened The easy workaround to this issue is to use the WD My Cloud Desktop application to open the file into their Microsoft Office application, then edit, then save any Microsoft Office files that are already stored on the WD My Cloud. One obviously will have to copy the Microsoft Office files they want to work on to their WD My Cloud first. The following link, while for the WD My Book Live and from 2012, may (or may not) also work on the WD My Cloud but I have not tried it. It involves using SSH to setup the same username/password one uses on their Windows PC. I typically copy the content to the WD My Cloud then use the WD My Cloud Desktop app remotely to open, edit and save the document to the My Cloud drive. WD2go (webDAV) and MS Office 2013

  • In Illustrator CS4 in Mac OS 10.6.2 my windows are blank

    When I open Illustrator CS4, and open a new or older document, the windows (action, brushes, layers, pathfinder, etc) are blank. If I close and reopen Illustrator I have a 50/50 chance that they will appear. At times I have had to close and reopen numerous times. Any thoughts? No new hardware or programs added since installation of CS4.(I already uninstalled and re-installed)

    Dumping preferences was done. Restarting as you suggested has opened another symptom - I do not get a dialog box and most plugins don't load. I can use the program but with limited features. I have restarted normally for twenty times in a row and the windows are showing. So we shall see.
    Hopefully it will behave itself.
    Thanks,

  • Clicking on a document in google mail doesn't open a preview in new tab on Windows but it does on my Mac. How do I fix this?

    I use google mail for work and personal mail. When using my Mac, I click on a document (PDF, Excel, etc) in an email message and it opens a preview of that document in a new tab.
    On my Windows PC, I do the same thing and it just sits there. I have checked the pop-up blocker and some of the settings but can't figure out why it works in one and not in another.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Check if this KB might be of any help:

  • Is there a way to open pages documents on Windows?

    My ibook G4 died recently out of warranty, and I'm now without a way to open all my documents, which I created and saved in the pages format.
    Is there a way to open these documents on a Windows XP machine, as that is the only machine I currently have available?

    There are certain data you can save copying a Pages document to Windows, but not much. If you copy a Pages document to a Windows machine, you will see that it is in fact a folder. In that folder you will find pictures you have included in the document. You will also find a file called index.xml.gz. You can expand that one on windows - probably with Winzip - and open the xml file in your favourite browser, and then you will see the text you added among quite a lot of garbled text. Formating will be gone.
    To some of us Pages' Mac-centric format is very inconvenient, but many users are quite happy with it, as they rarerly need the documents on a Windows machine. And when it happens they see no problem first exporting it to .doc, .pdf or .rtf format.

  • Help opening RAW on MAC with CS6

    I can  not open RAW files from my D90 in CS6 on my MAC.  I keep getting the message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."  I downloaded the 7.3 Raw update and still get it and am getting when I try to open any type of photo.  I am new to MAC and CS6 so it could just be me.  I used CS5 on a Windows PC for 3 years and never had trouble.  Thank you!!

    The D90 is supported by all versions of ACR that run with CS6.
    Your image files could be damaged.  This can be the case if you used the Nikon Transfer to copy the files from the card to your computer, as the Nikon utility is known for corrupting the image files on the Mac.
    Use either the Finder or the Bridge Photo Download to copy the image files from the card to your computer—I hope you still have the originals on the card.
    BTW, it's Mac for Macintosh, not "MAC".

    Leo,
    Depending on your OS, you should be able to use;

    Some have found that the page may turn up blank to start with, so it may be necessary to reload the page.
    Others have found that it may depend on browser. Specifically, a switch from Safari has solved it in one case.

    You cannot open it on Windows Vista. The only application in the world that opens a Pages document is Pages, and it is Mac OS X only.
    Your options:
    1. Find a Mac with Pages installed, and save the document as doc or pdf, which you can open on Vista.
    or, if that is impossible,
    2. Open the files in a texteditor like Notepad.exe on Windows and try to piece text fragments together to get at least part of your original text back. The images should also be available somewhere, even though all formatting is gone.

  • Opening Mac word doc on Windows Word-Not working

    I have Word 2007 for Mac and created a document. When I saved it I checked compatibility with Windows and Mac Word and it was okay. When I try and open that document at the office on my PC with Word 2003 it does not open. Any suggestions? Thanks

    You probably have Word 2008 and not 2007 for Mac.
    Try the *Save as* option and select *Word 97-2003* format.

  • How do I open up a Pages 5 document without the side formatting window also being open?

    I use my Macbook primarily for writing, and every time I open a new Pages 5 document the side formatting bar/window/panel is also open. I have a small screen on my 13 in macbook, so I have to close that window up so I have room for other windows to work on multiple Pages docs at once.
    Kind of a drag that I have to add an extra closing click each time I want to work on a Pages doc. Hey, those clicks add up after a while, right?
    How can I set the default so that a new (or old) page opens with the formatting window/bar already closed?
    I've already tried opening a blank doc, closing the formatting window,saving it as a template then setting that as my defalt "new document" template. When I open from that template the font style and size are the way I set them, but that darn bar is open.
    Thanks in advance for any clues as to how to remedy this situation.

    Peter,
    Yeah, that's what I'm doing now - just clicking it shut each time I open a doc. But man, what a cumulitavely annoying extra step that has not been there in the 4 or 5 years that I've been using Pages, but just showed up last week.
    Seems like there must be some sort of setting to make this not be the case.
