Problems moving between CS3 and CS4 - missing plugins

Hello all. Sorry if this is a really obvious question. I'm still sort of new to InDesign.
I'm working on a newsletter right now that I originally created using CS3. When the CS4 trial came out, I downloaded it, and the file it automatically transferred to opening on that version by default and I finished it up on CS4. Now my CS4 trial has run out and I don't want to buy it, but instead would like to keep working on the newsletter in CS3. When I try to open it in CS3 however, it says a ton of plugins are missing, namely:
conditional text
word ready
appframework
indexing
xml
generic page item
package and preflight
image
master page
incopy shared
cjk text attributes
assignments
spread
text
links
toc
text attributes
scripting
hyperlinks
document framework
cjk grid
workgroup
text wrap
whew! I'm pretty sure I have all the current updates. I tried looking for some of the plugins but I'm not really sure how to go about this or even if it's the right solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! We wanted to get the newsletter to our printer before the holidays but that's not looking so great now.
Thanks in advance!
Alyssa

You cannot open a CS4 file in CS3. If you'd like to email me the file,
I'll save it back as an INX file for you. Depending upon what features
you used in CS4 it may or may not be satisfactory...new features will be
lost or badly mangled and text is quite likely to reflow.

Difference between CS3 and CS4 when placing images, percentage not kept

There is some kind of difference between CS3 and CS4 when placing images. The images I've dealt with right now were vector images but it might apply to all kinds of images.
When replacing an existing image, the CS4 behaviour is to let the image fill up the frame. In CS3 the percentage was set to 100% as default (the % you see when selecting the image, not the container).
Also when replacing an impage in CS4, the "inner" image frame is kept, while in C3, the percentage was kept.
Is there some kind of placement preferences / settings to let CS4 act the same wat as CS3 did, when placing an image?
-- Andreas

Yes, the behavior was changed in CS4 (and many users, like me, prefer the new system).
If you click and drag a loaded image place cursor the entire image will be be scaled to fit the proportionally drawn frame -- a huge timesaver if you mostly place uncropped art. If you want 100% of the image at 100% scale, just click and release -- same as before, or as before you can pre-draw a frame and place into it and your image will come in cropped at 100% (unless you've changed the fitting options for the frame before placing).

Display Performance Difference between CS3 and CS4

I have a computer running CS3 and a computer running CS4. When I place an image in InDesign CS3, it looks way better than when I place it in CS4. The display performance for both computers are set exactly the same. Raster and Vector images are set to proxy, transparency is set to medium quality, Anti Aliasing is turned on.
The CS4 computer:
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Memory 4GB
System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a)
CS3 computer:
Processor Name: PowerPC G5
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Memory 4GB
System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a)
What am I missing? It is virtually every image.

"You can adjust the quality of the the display itself without altering the name of the setting."
Tried that. The end result is viewing images at the higher quality that slows down the machine.
"Also, the size and resolution of images plays a role in how large the previews are, and their quality."
The difference is very noticeable when the exact same image is placed at the exact same sizes in InDesign CS3 and CS4. Everything in the workflow remained the same, except the changing of InDesign files.

Need help with XML Compatibility between CS3 and CS4

I'm not a Dreamweaver guru but I am hoping someone will recognize my issue and be able to provide meaningful feedback.
Background:
A developer buddy and I are working together to create a new home page for an online retailer that utilizes flash banners. We're using XML to update the content of the banners. My buddy is creating the XML file and sending it to me to populate with content (i.e. descriptions, images, image paths, etc.). He is creating the XML file in CS3 and I am editing in CS4. Here's the issue: Whenever he uploads the populated XML file to the server the banners are displayed correctly. If I take the same file and upload it without editing, it works great. However, if I open the file, edit and resave before uploading to the web server, the the banners all have extra spaces between each line of content - almost as if it were double spaced. If you look at the code, the code looks fine. In fact, the code looks exactly like it did when my buddy sent the file to me. I believe we have isolated the problem to something weird with my installation of DW. I have downloaded and installed any and all updates. Oh yeah he's using a MAC version and I am using the PC version of DW.
Has anyone seen anything like this before???
Help...

Thank you for your response.
The code is listed below and to tell you the truth the following code is both good and bad. As I mentioned before, if my buddy sends me this xml file and I upload it to the server, it works fine. If I open the file and immediately save it without making any changes then upload it, I experience the previously described promblem. It's very strange. The code in both files is identical.
To get a clearer picture of what I am describing, go to http://www.everythingministry.com/beta3.htm. The book descriptions appear correctly under the "New and Recommended" tab. However, whenever I edit any one of the six xml files that control the content for each of these tabs it ends up looking like what you currently see under the "New Music" tab. I have actually tried to update from 2 different machines running DW CS4.
Below are the xml files for the two tabs I referenced in the paragraph above:

Differences between CS3 and CS4 files?

Could you please explain what was the differences between "Adobe illustrator cs4 eps files" and "Adobe illustrator cs3 eps files"?
Thank for looking into this.

The difference would be that CS 4 would support the features in AI CS 4 and CS 3 would not support those features.

Problems moving from CS3 to CS4

Hi, I'm hoping someone here will be able to assist me.
I have a file that has been created in CS3, and I am now adding the rest of the code in CS4. It is based off a tutorial that a tutor gave us, which would not work unless it was completed in CS4 (originally I tried saving down to work on it as we were provided the interface as a CS4 file, but when that failed, bought CS4, started again, and it worked perfectly fine). Last time I presumed the issue was the saving down, but this time I'm saving up.
What is essentially happening is that I am getting an Error 1009 because the code is trying to access buttons that doesn't exist. The reason it thinks that it does not exist is because the gotoAndStop(frameLabel) does not appear to be working. The frameLabel is coming from an array (and before that an XML file) but using a trace statement shows that the name of the frameLabel it is receiving is correct, it is just not 'going' for some reason. Has anyone encountered this before and have a solution? Again the code works perfectly fine in a file that was started in CS4, but will not work in a file that was started in CS3.
All is in ActionScript 3, I have also run the update to Flash CS4 10.0.2.
Any assistance would be fantastic. Thanks

if the timing is correct (ie, your trace is executing BEFORE the goto) and the trace appear to be correct, you either:
1. have a typo and your label and goto argument are not the same or
2. you have whitespace in your label.
to debug use:
trace(frameLabel,frameLabel.length); // where frameLabel is your frame label

Whats the difference between CS3 and CS4?

I am currently using Dreamweaver CS3 and am curious about CS4
enhancements. What features are new in CS4? Is it worth the money
to upgrade?

I read the above feature list without getting the answer. So
I went to the next step and downloaded the CS4 trial version. My
first impressions was: -"Where is everything? It is all grey, no
functions maybe?.
But that was not the case it was just a matter of new user
interface. One very nice touch was a drop down where it was
possible to select if you wanted "Classic" design look, which then
was similar to CS3. But it was also possible to chose "Coder" and
all the design stuff was minimized and the code window expanded.
Quite nice actually.
Well, I may put in some more comments later, when I have had
some time to play with CS4, but I wanted to post a second link to
"Whats New" and more importantly, what is removed;
For
new features...
...and for old removed ones:
quote:
Deprecated features
The following features have been deprecated for Dreamweaver
CS4:
- Timelines
- Web services
- Layout mode
- Site Map view
- Java Bean support
- Adobe® Flash elements (Image Viewer)
- Adobe® Flash text and Adobe® Flash buttons
- ASP.NET and JSP server behaviors and recordsets

Difference in selection tools between CS3 and CS4?

I have not used CS4 or 5. I read there are big differences from CS3 to CS4 with regards to making selections.
How much different are the following tools in CS4 over CS3?
- marquees
- laso tools
- magic wand
- quick mask
Thanks.

The tools you mention have not changed noticeably.
There are additional tools and refinements in later versions.

Conversion problem moving from CS3 to CS4 - adding files to book

I had a script which was working beautifully in CS3. Now we've moved to CS4 and it refuses to cooperate with me. I've tried a solution offered on the forum but it's not working for me.
        // Creating book
        var myBookFileName = myPath+"Personalized Modules/PW.indd";
         myBookFile = new File( myBookFileName );
        myBook = app.open( myBookFile );
         myBook = app.books.add( myBookFile );
        // Add the front cover
        myFilename = myPath+"Personalized Modules/PW_Cover.indd";
        myFile = File(myFilename);
        myBook.bookContents.add( myFile);
        // Add the rest of the individual files
For some reason, when it gets to the bookContents.add statement, it opens up a SaveAs dialog. I'm wondering if this is a setting within InDesign CS4 rather than a script issue.
I'd really appreciate any idea.
B

It looks like you're trying to add an existing CS3 document to a new CS4 book. InDesign wants to save the CS3 document in CS4 and so gives you the Save As dialog. You can either go through all the existing CS3 documents you'll be adding and save them out from CS4, or add a few lines to the script that will do it. (Change the variable name I used if it's used somewhere else in your script.)
// Creating book
var myBookFileName = myPath+"Personalized Modules/PW.indd";
myBookFile = new File( myBookFileName );
myBook = app.open( myBookFile );
myBook = app.books.add( myBookFile );
// Add the front cover
myFilename = myPath+"Personalized Modules/PW_Cover.indd";
myFile = File(myFilename);
// Save cover document in current version
myDoc = app.open(myFile,false);
myDoc.save(myFile)); // will overwrite CS3 file with CS4 file
myDoc.close();
myBook.bookContents.add(myFile);
// Add the rest of the individual files
I didn't test this code. Let me know if you have problems.

Color Issues between CS3 and CS4

Color Issue - Opened in CS3...looks fine; I then opened in CS4 and what
was grey in CS3 is now brownish in CS4.
Any ideas about what this is or how to fix?

Sorry, actually, there was a thread up a ways and someone was having the
exact same issue. It was my color profile. I just deleted the default
and used Adobe 1998...
With that said, I am CERTAIN that in not too much longer, I will run
into this again and it will be nice to have this seed (solution) planted
in my brain..
Thanks

Speed change between CS3 and CS4?

Hi...
I heard that AECS4 is more speedy that CS3... like effect are in real time now...
is it true?
Thanks...

>Maybe CS5?
I don't think it would be a favorable model. The beauty of AE is, that it just allows so many different workflows and once you commit yourself to a specific, hardware-dependent way of working, you loose that. That's the biggest failure in Motion - complex stuff is simply not possible, because the hardware acceleration eventually gives up and then, without it, it's a lot worse than AE. AE should simply render faster and more efficient, so it takes less time to build the previews and it should have smarter ways of keeping cached data (like not loosing the disk cache frames when exiting the program). Once that works, you could think of ways to adjust interactively during looping RAM previews for instance, which achieves the same goal, but with much greater flexibility...

Trouble installing plugins for CS3 and CS4 onto a 32 bit/64 bit PC.

I have two new PCs. They are supposed to run both 32 Bit and 64 Bit programs.
I have CS3 and CS4 32 Bit programs installed on both.
Many of my old faithful plugins have gone on strike or at least a work stoppage!
I can get some of them to install correctly, but some arre just not cooperating.
Is there a workaround for this problem?
I have considered:
1. Creating a partition for Window 7 32 bit, but I am not so technically savvy to be confident that I would do it correctly
2. Buy an older 32 bit machine and install windows 7, but that is getting to the edge of too pricey.
Any suggestions?
I really need some of those plugins! I have built a business around them.

The truth is that you can run Windows 7 and Windows 8, in both 32 and 64-bit versions, without any problem (you have a 64-bit processor). The problem is that Apple only supports a 32-bit Windows 7 version for your Mac. Why? Because Apple wanted to drop the Windows 8 support for the computer you are using.
You can see in this page all the Macs compatible with 64-bit Windows editions > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846 As you can see, your Mac isn't supported, so you can only install a 32-bit Windows 7 version with Boot Camp if you want to run Windows correctly.
I told you at the beggining that you can install any 32 or 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows 8 versions on your Mac because your iMac meets the requirements for both editions. However, you need the Boot Camp drivers to make Windows run properly, and here's where Apple has dropped a lot of computers, making them unusable if you install a version that Apple clasifies as unsupported. Sad but that's true

Premiere CS3 and CS4 Crashes

I'm having trouble with Premiere Pro versions CS3 and CS4 crashing and am not sure why. The problem usually occurs after a few minutes of the program being opened or when we either try to scrub through the timeline or try to capture. It's very frustrating. The machine came installed with CS4 and we have tried to remove and then re-install. We have also tried removing and adding CS3 and have had similar results. Recently we purchased a school license for CS5 although for Premiere we had to install the CS4 version and still have gotten the same results. This was working fine for quite sometime and I can't come up with a resolution to what is causing the problem. Can anyone offer any advice or suggestions on what to look into correct the problem? We are on an XP computer.

End of Upgrade Cycle for CS3 and CS4... Really Adobe?

As if business wasn't bad enough now I see there will be no upgrade paths past december for CS3 and 4 users. Is this how Adobe plans to keep users away from stopping their upgrades and reducing the number of machines they run Adobe products on? I understand Adobe is not a non-profit and has has to turn a revenue, but the geniuses at Marketing here have made a huge mistake by basically telling their customers that what they have so far will be worth zilch in comes 2013. That arbitrary deadline, is not consider some people who on the east coast are now cash strapped as anyone having to choose between home repairs and other such marvelous stuff and upgrading to CS6 guess what they'll choose. And for the lucky ones not heavily affected by the storms, they will donate to help their community before they will spend money to upgrade perfectly good software.
It wasn't enough that the upgrade path wasn't much of a discount, but in the current economy every penny counts! The choice of stopping support for CS3 and CS4 in my personal opinion an ill-advised move. I personally went from 3 to 4 within a short amount of time... then when 5 came out my budget didn't allow so I needed to wait. The new CS6 isn't direly needed so I decided I'd have to loose some additional "upgrade power" because money need to be directed elsewhere now... but the news that I'd loose all the upgrade power and would have kept on upgrading for nothing it's just ridiculous... and if that's the treatment a customer will have to expect from now on I think I'll use what I have and move to alternatives stopping to personally support Adobe products an rely on licensed copies at work instead. Perhaps Adobe hasn't notices we aren't exactly doing that great in US between the current economical situation, the various setbacks experienced across the country and for the fact that in this particular business most work is often being outsourced out of US these days... I am sure you will have a huge market on the countries where the outsourced work is being sent... as far as I am concerned comes 12/31/2013 I will no longer be an Adobe customer as Adobe is forcing me out of the upgrade cycle and I won't plan to re-enter anytime soon in the coming future... lesson learnt.
Thank you for your time (if any of the marketing gurus will have cared to read this far without laughing and discounting with a "screw those old customers, they should've upgraded earlier" which was basically the content of the email I got this week... pasted below)
Cheers,
tfbkny
Content of email received from Adobe saying last chance to upgrade now or what you got will be worthless in less than a couple months.
Dear Creative Suite customer:
We want to make sure you're aware of an important change to Adobe's upgrade policy that may affect you.
Beginning January 1, 2013, only Creative Suite customers with licenses for CS5 or CS5.5 versions will qualify for upgrade pricing to CS6.
Due to this change, we will only continue offering CS3 and CS4 customers like you special upgrade pricing through December 31, 2012.*
* Owners of CS3 and CS4 individual products and suite editions will be eligible to receive upgrade pricing to CS6 until December 31, 2012. After that date, only customers on CS5 or CS5.5 will qualify for upgrade pricing to CS6.

Adobe doesn't care, they don't have to. I like Phsotoshop and have been using it professionally for 20 years, but lets face it, I wouldnt mind some really good competition from another source. It didnt use to be the only game in town, and doesnt have to remain so.
I could brainstorm how I would want competing software to look like. Pshop is not the easiest workflow possible. Illustrator is clearly deficient to even CorelDraw, and certainly Freehand. I've been meaning to reconnect with CorelDraw. It did some cool things.
Google Chrome is pulling a lot of manoevers software wise and I hope they try to go a little deeper and give Adobe a run for their money on the one program they feel justifies unbelievable gouging. Go investigate Ableton Live if you want to see what a company that cares about its customers is doing, ADOBE. Audition is a JOKE compared to Ableton Live. Thank God we're not powned on the audio side by these suits.
The idea that a company would peddle buggy software, which CS4 was..., although some of that was Apple's fault, is bad, the upgrade prices were ridiculous, and this is the end of the road for me currently. The idea that a company would actively
push away customers is pretty incredible. "But I sent you an email!" Whoops, you gotta pay $1900 for production premium CS6! HAHAHAHAHA. Time for a YT video with my old hard copy box. Sounds like a good idea.
There are too many options on the motion graphics side, and I'll keep a static machine to run Pshop and AE CS4.
The masters of the universe will have theit way, and the rest must bow to their ambivalent greed. At least that's the way they think. It would seem that Adobe and Apple really, really want some upstarts to come up. Maybe $360 for a year to figure out an exit might work. It will be interesting to see if this hits earnings. VERY interesting.

Cs2 and cs3 and cs4 on the same pc xp? could be a mess up?

Hi
i have some questions
i bought cs2 some time ago , i guess 4 years but now i don't remember
and i did installed on my pc , never had a problem
after when cs3 come out , i tried the trial version , the first time i did not like it , but after 2 weeks , i liked and i need it for camera raw
i upgraded my cs2 license
well the point i donwnload the trial version of cs4 (english version , because most of the tutorials are in english) while cs2 and cs3 are in my language
i tried to make a custom install (i did not install all the comonent)
something went wrong ,when i tried to uninstall cs4 , i don't know but cs4 did not uninstall all the components (the uninstaller keeps adobe color Na, Ja, Eu, color common setting and cmaps)
i downloaded the cs4 cleaner for adobe page , but the adobe cleaner for cs4 was not able to clean these components, it tried to clean cs3
well i had to use windows installer clean up manually
delete every thing that is related to cs4
uninstall cs3 and re-install it
so after this mess, i ask if i can keep cs2 cs3 and cs4 (i think i will buy or upgrade) in the same pc running xp?
my second question
2) after updating cs4 , run the cs4 update utility and update all the cs4 components , cs4 seems to be more fast then cs3 , still on old pc with a powerfull machine like a p4 3.6 with 2gb of ram and a good graphic card pci express
is my feeling ? is the cs4 more fast then cs3 on not fast pc , isn't it?
thanks too much
and have a nice day

thanks John Joslin
CS4 is faster than CS3 on a computer which supports it.
which are the computer that supports it ? i run xp
why did the uninstaller do a mess up ?
thanks

Problems moving between CS3 and CS4 - missing plugins
