Saving a PDF in CS6, opening in CS5

How can I save a PDF in CS6 and open in CS5 and still have editing capabilities?

I don't think there are version options when saving as a pdf, but as you may know you can save ai documents for previous versions. Have you tried opening a pdf created in CS6 in CS5?
The following image appears after you hit Save in the first menu.

  • Saving a PDF that is open in Firefox

    After opening a PDF in Firefox, I want to save it on my computer. The problem is that the "save a copy" box, where you name the file, always opens in full-screen mode. I need the "save a copy" box to open smaller-- the same size as in most other applications -- so that I can see details about the PDF document that are needed for me to give the PDF an accurate name. I don't know how to change this. Or whether it is a Adobe problem or a Firefox problem (although in Adobe reader, the "save a copy" screen is much smaller).

    I have this exact same problem! Rather frustrating when you're switching between a PDF and a regular page. :(
    I'm on a laptop and using the two-finger drag to scroll. If a PDF tab is open, but my selected tab is not the PDF, when I scroll, it scrolls the PDF and not the page you're on!
    I was on 3.6 and this problem was NOT there; it only showed up on FF 4.0

  • Ps file saved as PDF on mac - opened on PC changes all colors to something different

    i made a PDF from my ps file in photoshop. I sent it to a printer. he gave me the proof and it was not the same color i had. he stated he couldnt change it because he is on a PC and the file i sent him when he opens in in PS switches to a bitmap. and everything ive done changes the colors to something else. How do i create a PDF from my ps file, to something that from a mac, any PC user can open and retain the info?

    Came here to complain about this maddening feature. Why it doesn't save the PDF out to a separate instance of the document is beyond me. PLENTY of us want to save the PDF without the layers, and want the PSD separate.
    "Oh good, I've completed this document.... let me just save it out as a PDF for client delivery and... Now all the work is gone."
    Genius, Adobe, genius. But it's cool--we'll just keep paying out the nose on a subscription basis with no fix for small errors like this.

  • Can a PDF saved from cs6 be opened in cs5 with layers intact?

    I have a client who insists on receiving final files as PDFs saved as Illustrator Default with Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities ticked. This wasn't an issue until I upgraded to cs6. In cs6 I'm saving the native file as cs5, and then saving as PDF with the following options:
    The client is able to open the PDF in cs5 but the layers are all flattened into a single layer. Is there way to Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities for any version other than cs6?

    The only way is to downsave the AI file to a CS5 and export from there. There are too many changes from CS5 to CS6 for this not to happen.

  • IDML file saved in CS6 does not open in CS5

    Hi there,
    Trying to figure out this problem. A file created in InDesign CS6 we saved it as a idml file to be opened from cs5. When cs5 tries to open it it complains about plugins are missing.
    Has anybody run into this problem?

  • .pdf file not opening in Illustrator CS5

    All of a sudden, I cannot get ,pdf files to open in Illustrator CS5. what would cause this?
    Thanks

    Jeremy,
    Or you may go further down the list.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Saving as PDF, Photoshop CS5 (Acrobat not cropping)

    Just upgraded to CS5 from CS3. In the earlier version, I always saved files as PDFs from the Print box. Then I'd open the PDF in Acrobat and check "Remove White Margins" in order to crop to my Photoshop file size. When I try this same method in CS5, Acrobat will not crop my image to match my Photoshop file size.
    I believe it's an issue with Photoshop CS5 because I tried my same old method using Photoshop CS3 and the new Acrobat and it works like it used to. Is there another way to save as a PDF from CS5? Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Printing to PDF from the print box is an OS process - it takes the printer data that Photoshop sends and creates PDF from it.
    Photoshop CS5 does use the newer Cocoa printing APIs, which could cause changes in the output (due to differences in Apple's code).
    For saving PDF, I really suggest you just save the file as PDF from Photoshop and skip the print dialog.

  • Does photoshop cs6 not save over files that are also open in cs5?

    I started a project in CS5, saved it, left it open, then opened the same file in CS6.  Then I started steadily working on the file in CS6 for about 20 minutes.  I saved frequently while working in CS6.  Then Photoshop crashed, I believe because I had several smart objects open at once.  However, when I checked the file I had been saving, it was still in an identical state to when I stopped working on it in CS5.  Not only that, but the "recovered file" was about 10 minutes behind in CS6.
    This is really frustrating.

    I don't know what went wrong for you but you are correct that it's normally possible for CS6 to save over a file that's open in CS5, and vice versa, and the same thing is possible with many other apps.
    Furthermore, some apps watch for changes being made to a file which they have open and will automatically update the version of the file which they hold in memory with the modified version that another app has written to disc.
    Of course, there are apps, databases for example, which do lock files which they have open.
    None of that helps you, but just letting you know that you weren't wrong to expect your work to be saved.

  • PDF won't open in Acrobat after Saving in illustrator

    Hi I am currently working on my final architecture project and am having issues with opening a PDF in acrobat after editing and saving in Illustrator.
    I am creating an architecture document in autocad which I then export to PDF to be edited in Illustrator. It opens fine in illustrator, however once I have edited and saved in illustrator I am unable to open in acrobat and the program just crashes.
    After editing in illustrator the file size increases fairly substantially, but I am able to open larger PDF files no problem if they have no been edited in Illustrator.
    Any help would be great. Let me know if any further information would help?
    Thanks!

    Hi Graffiti,
    I have posted it in the windows one as I am using Autocad in windows to create the origional PDF. However this has not caused any problems until now.
    In answer to your other questions I have used 'save' and 'save as' and tried saving under new file names.
    I have been saving the PDF rather than using the PDF printer.
    Let me know if any other info would help.

  • PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader

    PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader - damaged file
    iMac late 2009 8Gb 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo - Safari 6

    I encountered the same problem and tried doing what Suzanne did by right clicking the file and saving it to the computer first and then opening it.
    And then after double clicking the saved file windows prompted whether I want to open it with the newly installed Adobe reader 9.0 or with Microsoft Word. I chose the Adobe Reader 9.0 and clicked on the check box asking whether we always want to open this type of file using this program.
    I managed to open the file and best of all is after that I was able to directly double click on the pdf email attachments to open it.
    Seems like that we need to let windows associate the file type with the program first.

  • Raw files saved to jpeg via bridge but now some jpegs won't open in CS5

    I saved Raw files to jpeg via bridge but now some of the jpegs won't open in CS5, they only open in bridge?  How do I get them to open up in photoshop instead?

    I'm not quite sure of your workflow, but here's a couple of things to try:
    1. Make sure the folder to be batch processed contains only JPEGs.
    2. In Bridge, go to Camera Raw Preferences (not Bridge Preferences) and change JPEG and TIFF Handling to Disable JPEG support. This should ensure that all JPEGs open directly in Photoshop.

    After saving a pdf in safari and trying to open I get this error: There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat. Please return to Acrobat and end the task before opening this file.

  • Swf saved as pdf not displaying when opened

    Hi All,
    I am in the process of creating a media kit for my company.  The plan is to be able to send out a link to the pdf file saved in our site files so that potential clients can click and view or download the pdf.  I have saved the pdf in my site files however; when you go to the link (http://www.hobnobtv.com/pdf/hobnobtv-media-kit.pdf) it only opens a white blank pdf file.
    Here are the steps i've taken to create the file:
    I have created the 10page booklet using InDesign CS4 and added the page turn page transition on all the pages.
    I exported the file as swf and then opened the swf in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    When opening the swf in Acrobat the activation setting I choose are:
    Enable when: The page containing the content is opened
    Disable when: The page containing the content is closed
    Save the pdf file
    Uploaded to the site
    What could be causing the pdf to appear white and blank?  Is there a better way to accomplish the goal?
    I look forward to hearing others thoughts!
    Rebecca

    Thank you for the response!
    Actually, I finally realized (and i'm a little embarassed to admit) that when I click on the link for the pdf, my default program to open the file was set to Preview rather than adobe acrobat or reader.  So now that I have it set to Acrobat I see it ok.
    I have tested the swf file by itself and it does work.  The file uses the Page Turn transition affect, so the user needs to click the bottom right corner of each page to turn (or they can click and drag the page open).  I did notice when the pdf was opend the little note I included in the bottom right of the first page does not show (it reads "click here to turn page"- as a prompt for the user).  I may have to move that up a little bit so it shows.  Also, if you hover over the bottom right corner of the right page, you should start to see the page corner curl, this is hard to see at this point (you can see it great if you click the zoom in option once) Maybe i'll have to reduce the size of the swf when making it a pdf to see if that works so the user doesn't have to adjust the page to see the affect.
    I'll see how that works.
