Purchasing previous versions of indesign

Hello,
For my job I'm required to purchase previous versions of Adobe products (Indesign cs4 cs5 cs5.5). Is there any suitable options to purchase these products through creative cloud? In case it's not possible is there any other convenient way for freelancers?
Thanks for the support,
Riccardo

Not sure why you need to purchase the previous versions? I don't have InDesign installed at the moment, but with Illustrator I can save files compatible with several legacy versions. If you truly need the old versions I don't think CC is the best option for you unfortunately.
Though now that I think about it a compatibility mode for plugins written for different versions would probably be useful for a lot of people. That's the only reason I can come up with that you'd need them? If you can give more details I might be able to help you out.

Is there any way how to purchase previous version of Photoshop (PS CS4)??

Is there any way how to purchase previous version of Photoshop (PS CS4)??
Because i really comfortable with Photoshop CS 4.
Thank you very much.

Only newer versions of ACR are. All other bloat is not.
I have all Photoshop versions of Photoshop from v.5.0.x through Photoshop 13.0.6 on my Macs.
I find myself working in CS4 for most of my Photoshop editing, using CS6 13.0.6 only for the ACR to PSD conversion and whatever editing can be done in ACR. Both versions run simultaneously on my desktop Mac Pro all the time.
By all means do download the trial version. I've been able to discard a whole bunch of upgrades that way in Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat, as well as avoid buying Lightroom and all other Adobe applications.
Adobe's trial versions are a wonderful feature and a much appreciated, rare courtesy by Adobe.

How do I open PageMaker 7 files in InDesign CC without buying a previous version of InDesign?

without buying a previous version of InDesign?

InDesign CC does not have the capability of opening Pagemaker 6 and 7 files, but InDesign CS6 does.
If you have a Creative Cloud subscription, you can also download InDesign CS6 at no charge using the Creative Cloud desktop app.
In the Creative Cloud app, go to the Apps list. Scroll down until you see the heading Filters & Versions. Choose Previous Versions. You can download CS6 from there.
Both versions can run on your computer at the same time.

Buying previous versions of indesign

Hi
I am a home user of Quark and would very much like to start using indesign, however my imac running Snow Leopard is not compatible. My question is... is there any way of buying a previous version of Indesign that does run on my platform?
Thanks a million for your help

If you don't want to invest the $700 for the perpetual license, you can also get the cloud subscription, which lets you choose any version starting with CS6. There's a single app plan for $20 per month.
How old is your iMac? Mid 2007 and newer will take Lion 10.7.5, which will let you run ID CC.

Previous version of Indesign CC (v. 9.0). How to download and install?

Maybe someone knows how to download the previous version of the Adobe Indesign. I mean the version 9.0. I can't find possibility of it on Adobe site.

Hi Andy,
You can download and install it from Creative Cloud desktop app. There is a drop down saying 'Filters and Versions' in there, select 'Previous Version' there and you will be able to install CC 9.0 from there.
Thanks

Purchasing Previous Versions

Hello,
I was wondering if there was any way I could buy Premiere Elements 12 as it is the format that my place of education uses and I would like to have a copy for my MacBook Air.
Thanks for any help.

thekurtster
Just a word of caution if you need to make a decision on purchase from other than an authorized reseller...
Please review the Adobe transfer of license involved
Transfer an Adobe product license
We hope that you will be able to find the product at a reasonable price (sale) at one of these retailers.

How do you obtain a previous version of Adobe InDesign after purchasing the latest version?

If I purchase the full version of the latest Adobe InDesign software (currently version CS6), how do I obtain a copy of a previous version of InDesign (such as version CS5)?
I need to be able to generate CS5 INDD files for the completion of a project, but I don't believe this is possible unless I have CS5 installed.
I am aware that I can save to an IDML file in InDesign CS6 which can be opened in a previous version of Adobe InDesign, but the requirements of the project require INDD files that can be opened in CS5.

Thanks again Jeff, I really appreciate it.

InDesign CS5 SDK - Can plugins run on previous versions?

Can I create Adobe InDesign Plugins with InDesign CS5 SDK that will also run on previous versions of InDesign such as CS4, CS3?
Thanks
-Ajay

I totally disagree.
As a plugin developer i am developing solutions for something adobe actually didn't include in their projects.
There also isn't any compare between the amout all plugin developer have to spent to make their plugin compatible with 3 or more different Adobe-Versions and the amout adobe would had to spent to make their SDK backword-compatible.

How to identify the version of InDesign application used to produce an InDesign document

Is there a way to identify the version of the InDesign application(CS/CS2/CS3) where the Document was originally created?
Can we use InDesign CS3 server to open a CS2 document to do some relinking and save it again as a CS2 document without converting the document to CS3 version? If not, how to identify and not open the documents produced by previous versions of InDesign application?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
you can test the Creator. In addition however the document must be opened. If it is a CS2 document, closes document again without to save. I did not test it. Would have to function however.
JavaScript Example:
try {
var creator = app.documents.item(0).metadataPreferences.creator;
catch(e){}
alert( "The creator = " + creator );

CS6 is not opening multipage files from previous versions

Good day, we have recently updated to the Creative Suite CS6. One of the users are unable to open multipage files that was designed in previous versions of Indesign. (we have 3 users and only 1 is having this problem. ) It is not giving a specific error code.

OK, it looks like it is not a user issue, so it's most likely a software conflict or a corrupt install.
Do you have any non-Adobe plugins installed? Does it work if you run MSConfig and turn off all non-essential startup programs and services, including anti-virus, and browser plugins?

Save Converted Document from Previous Version without Confirmation in CC2014?

Hi Everyone,
Is there a way to save a converted document from a previous version of InDesign with the same name WITHOUT the save confirmation dialog box? By a converted document, I mean that when you open a version from CS6 for example the document tab shows [Converted], and will automatically prompt with a Save Dialog when saving. I've parsed over all Preferences but may have possibly overlooked something.
Thank you for your help!

If you are using OSX try this AppleScript:
http://www.zenodesign.com/forum/ConvertToCC2014.zip
There's a droplet and script panel version in the zip archive. It copies the chosen folder's ID files older than version 10 into an Archive subfolder then updates the files. Depending on the file size it can take some time—there's a done dialog when it completes. I would test it a few times to make sure it does what you expect.

HT1338 Mac OS X V 10.5.8 on my MacBook. I need to update to Lion. Am I required to update previous versions or can I download Lion?

Currently running OS X V 10.5.8. I need access mac mail via my server. Do I need to purchase previous versions or can I purchase Lion and resolve the situation?

Hi, you need to either get the 10.6 Install Disc, which I recommend, or buy the Flash drive version of Lion & erase everything to inststall.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It looks like they might still have it...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
It's reported that if you have a MobileMe account that Apple will send you SL/10.6 for free.
If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
Lion/101.7 System requirements
    •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
    •    At least 2GB of memory[(I recommend 6GB or more)
    •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
    •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading[(I recommend 50 GB or more.)
Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
What applications are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion"?
http://ow.ly/5Iz09
You'll need to buy SL/10.6 first & get it to 10.6.8, then get Lion... if you can run it.
Or if you can erase your disk...

How to make previous version documents(CS1 and CS3) without extension readable in InDesign CS5

I have some previous version documents of CS1 and CS3 on Mac which have been saved without any extension e.g 300, CS3doc etc.
When I open such documents in InDesign CS5 they appear to be unreadable . Only on selecting 'All documents' filter I am able to open those documents.
I want to make all such documents (which are without extension) readable with 'All Readable Documents ' also .
How I can do that, please help me !!!!!

The first thing I'd do is make sure the issue is really what I suspect it is - i.e. I suspect your extension-less documents don't have the proper type and creator.
If you fire up a Terminal window, you should be able to use the GetFileInfo command to check one of the files:
Assume 'sampleFile' is sitting on your desktop, you'd do
GetFileInfo ~/Desktop/sampleFile
(not sure when/whether GetFileInfo is installed on a Mac - I think it used to be part of Apple's developer tools, but on my Snow Leopard it resides in /usr/bin)
Check what it says for 'type' and 'creator'.
If these are not correct, we've confirmed that that's the reason why they don't show up in your file dialog.
If the issue is type/creator related, I can think of the following options:
a) Change your code to accept ANY file type/extension - I suspect this would work (not tested!):
openFileDialog->AddType( '????' );
If memory serves right, '????' should be accepted as a wildcard.
b) correct the file types BEFORE they are viewed in the File Dialog - for example, if these files are in a very specific folder somewhere, you might be able to scan the folder, and correct their type and creator (e.g. iterate through all extensionless files in folder 'xyz' and change their type and creator). A lot depends on how those files get there, and whether they are tied to a specific folder or not - are they 'old' files, or are they being generated in some workflow? If they're all over a user's system or all over a file server, such pre-scanning and cleaning up file types approach will be a no-go.
Cheers,
Kris

When I try to open video files purchased through iTunes in Quicktime, I get the message: 'Error 23132: an unknown error occurred. This never happened until I updated iTunes, but when I try to go back to the previous version, I still get the message.

When I try to open video files purchased through iTunes in Quicktime, I get the message: 'Error 23132: an unknown error occurred. This never happened until I updated iTunes, but when I try to go back to the previous version, I still get the message. It is more convenient for me to play videos in Quicktime since iTunes is such a memory hog. Please help.

You may get better results if you switch to this alternate version: iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) and, if needed, reinstall QuickTime. The new (nearly) all 64-bit version doesn't seem to play well with QuickTime. Perhaps if DRM authentication is required QuickTime needs to be able to see something that is part of the older 32-bit code.

HT204053 I have purchases under an expired AOL account and very old Mac that I can no longer listen to on current versions of iTunes. Previous version of iTunes accepted the music and allowed me to sync it to my iPod. What do I do?

I have purchases under an expired AOL account and very old Mac that I can no longer listen to on current versions of iTunes. Previous version of iTunes accepted the music. Now, I have a group of songs that will not sync to my iPod because it is associated with the old AOL account. What do I do?

If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
Since there were about nine different build models
of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
one you have would be the first step to knowing
what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
detailed information is available.
When you find the serial number, there is a web
page that can be used to identify by serial no.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
Good luck & happy computing!
