Saving CS4 to CS3

I'm a flash developer that works on CS4, i have recently
developed a flash website using CS4 but have developed for AS2.0
under flash 8 player.
I have save the fla files as CS3 compatible, however my
client that has flash CS3 cannot open the files, is anybody able to
tell me why this is?

There is no difference.
Web files (HTML and CSS) are web files. Plain text readable by humans. There's no proprietary file format conversion required.
The only difference would be CS3 functions which have been deprecated in CS4 won't be available in CS4
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WS2C41F19D-502B-4fb5-8A54-4442E2127C84a .html
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
If you use any of those features in your web pages, you'll need CS3 to maintain them. Or find another way of doing them in CS4.
e.g. if you use Timelines or Flash buttons at school using CS3, you won't be able to work on them using CS4 at home.

Can InDesign CS4 files be saved down to CS3

Can anyone confirm if InDesign CS4 files can be saved down to CS3.
I need to be able to share editing of InDesign files with user on different version. Seems okay to open up a version, but then can not open file back down a version? Thanks

Not an advisable workflow. You can export to INX but all new features will be lost or badly mangled. Additionally text will reflow due to the different text engines.
Your colleague should upgrade to CS4 or you should both be prepared for major headaches.

Illustrator CS4 and CS3 crashing on two different mac's - can not save or print

We have two Macs running 10.5.6, with CS4 and CS3 installed. Both systems seem to be crashing today when trying to save, print, etc any file. Some files that were created in CS3 that are older seem to be opening and saving. But anything I know was worked on yesterday are having issues on both systems.
Anyone have any ideas?
I have tried trashing the preferences, and also booting in safe mode and still get crashes.

I just tried an uninstall of Illustrator - then reinstall. Did not work either. Here is the report I am getting if anyone is interested:

Sending text from cs4 to cs3 - fonts and text not showing

Hi I am trying to send files of text (I am using CS4 illustrator) to somebody with CS3 illustrator. I save the files in CS3 format but the other person either can't open the file, the file is blank or missing parts of text. (The files usually contain a mix of fonts). When I send pictures these usually are ok.
I would be very grateful for an answer to this problem as it's holding me up for work.

How are you sending files? Via email? Are you "zipping" them first?
Does your file contain anything other than type, such as a placed raster image or an object with raster effects (glows, shadows) applied to it?
Have you opened the file again, after saving as a CS3 file to verify it's correct before you send it?

EPS file opens as code language on Mac CS4 and CS3

A client is providing us with some art work for packaging material in EPS format. The Illustrator CS4 and CS3 open these files as some kind of Code language. This is how it looks like on my illustrator window ( saved as PDF and copy pasted a portion ):

Backsaving Photoshop CS4 to CS3

How do you backsave files in Photoshop from CS4 to CS3. I did work on files in CS4 over weekend and saved as .tif, .jpg (which loses my layers) .psd, photshop 2.... but I cannot open any of the files on my computer at work which has CS3.
Mac, OS 10.5.8, CS3 Photoshop 10.0.1
Thank you.

Did You Maximize Compatibility when saving the psd-files?
Because those should open in CS3 without problems, although some stuff (like Masks Panel-changes) might not be maintained.

Compatibility of InDesign CS4 with CS3 or CS5

My situation is this: I'm working in InDesign CS4 at the moment and need someone else to work on the same files on a separate machine.
The separate machine MAY have CS3 installed or they may need to buy a new copy of InDesign, in which case I imagine they would end up buying CS5. (Or is it still possible to buy CS4 products??)
My question is this: if they buy CS5, I imagine they will have no problems opening the files I work on, but will I have problems when I open the files they have saved? Will I be able to?
Simlarly: If they have CS3, will they be able to open the files I work on?
In other words: what is the best solution for our situation short of me having to upgrade to CS5?
Thanks for any light you can shed.

The best solution is you should all be working in the same version. If this is a short-term project you may be able to work with a trial version (for earlier versions see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2729885#2729885 for a link to a blog posting with directions and direct download links).
If that won't work, be sure nobody is using any features in the newer version that are not supported in the older version and be preapred for text to reflow (which won't happen inthe newer version opening an older file until you start to edit). CS4 to CS3 requires export to .inx from CS4 and CS3 must be patched to 5.0.4. CS5 to CS4 requires export to .idml from CS5, and CS4 should be patched to 6.0.5.
Note that trying to callborate using two versions is pretty much a recipe for trouble.

Cs4 opens cs3 files with errors

Here's a big heads up for anyone considering upgrading to cs4 - don't! I've been working on a cs3 project and decided to upgrade to cs4 for the extras in the 3D toolset. All the Adobe propoganda implies this can be achieved no problem, as did soemone on telephone tech support. Perhaps I didn't clearly ask 'can I open my cs3 file in cs4'. I can BUT the clips are very much 'out of synch. I'll lick my wounds and go back to finishing in cs3 but don't purchase cs4 if you think you can seamless import your sc3 project. Because it seems you very much can not!

Dennis,
Many thanks.

Subject: Premiere Pro cs4 opens cs3 files with errors
Jarrod,
As I've stated here in this forum, we're trying to transition Adobe technical support to a new organization and providing the best support we can to our customers. That being said, it is a long and sometimes painful process, which is why I am here on the forums at times to lend some support. This doesn't help you and you might not even care so...
Here's a couple of suggestions:
1. make sure your software is updated (Premiere Pro 4.2.1) by going to help>updates
2. clear your prefs - http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/11/having_weird_behavior_with_an.html
3. try importing (ctrl-I) a CS3 project into CS4
Try these things and let me know how you make out. Also, it would be very helpful if you told us about your system and the specs. I've posted about the importance of 64-bit and lots of memory many times. You can find one link here: http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/03/64_bit_os_and_adobe_products.html
The future of Premiere Pro is 64-bit only: http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/10/its_official_64bit_is_the_futu.html
Beyond that if you'd like me to look into your case, please post your case # here or in a private message to me and I'll gladly look at it.
I sense your frustration and its understandable - give us a chance to help you.
Dennis

Downgrade from Dreamweaver CS4 to Cs3?

Is there any way to downgrade from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS3?
I've looked all over and can't find anything on this subject. (I
tried to find a new copy of CS3, but encountered a host of problems
of one description or another, and I don't want to pirate a
copy...although it's depressing to think piracy would be the
easiest method...)
Thanks.

Sorry, Jo - didn't see your reply.

CS4 to CS3 Design View Preview

Is it possable to to preview Dreamweaver CS4 in CS3 Design View? I only have CS4 on my machine and a customer with CS3 wants to make changes to my work. The CSS styles do not render correctly. Is there anything I can do to to correct this? Everything works in the browsers.

Nope. Some show - some don't.

Trying to Upgrade to CS4 from CS3 Extended

I am trying to upgrade to CS4 from CS3 Extended. The Adobe web page states to call Adobe support for this upgrade. I call them before I attempt the upgrade to ask what I should do. They tell me to intall it and call back. I get to the serial screen and call back, they tell me to fully install it in trial mode, then call back. I do this and call back, but notice it installed CS4 Extended, not CS4. They tell me they can't help me because I purchased only CS4. That is all I want is CS4, so I uninstall CS4 extended and try again. Again the install(from disk) installs CS4 Extended(At least that is what the title page says).
Do I need to uninstall CS3 Extended before I install the CS4 Trial version?
Thanks for any help,
bdriscoll

Mylenium,
Thanks for the reply. You are correct and the next support person understood that and got it fixed.
thanks again for your reply,
bdriscoll

Preview with CS4 or CS3 on OS10.5.4 gets wrong URL path

First, I did a rather extensive search within the archives
for this before posting but, at least in my searches, could not
find any previous posts that addressed this.
I know what is happening I just don't know why. I am working
with a very simple static site. I've set up the path in the site
manager so that the root path is as follows:
/Users/phoppes/Documents/Development/Training/DreamweaverCS3/testsite
Links are relative to Document and I have enabled the cache.
This happens for both CS4 or CS3. If I create a simple one line
html file and hit preview, Firefox opens up but the path in the URL
is as follows:
file:///System/Users/phoppes/Documents/Development/Training/DreamweaverCS3/testsite/test.h tml
I get the "File not Found" message:
Firefox can't find the file at
/System/Users/phoppes/Documents/Development/Training/DreamweaverCS3/testsite/test.html.
My HD on my Mac is named System. Obviously something inside
of DW is attaching the /System to the front of the URL to open
Firefox. If I go into the URL tab in Firefox and hack out the
/System, the page is found and displays correctly. If I try to
redefine the site root in the Site Manager with the /System in the
front DW does not like this. It complains it cannot find the path
as I believe DW is appending /System to the front itself so the
path becomes /System/System/Users/.... which is incorrect also. I
can work around this,....I have to hack the url every time I do a
preview but it is a PITA and I'd like to not have to do this if
possible.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS - Not sure if this is causing it but I do have a custom
/etc/hosts file on my machine. The top looks like the following:
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthostt
::1 localhost
Following this line are static IP's for machines on my local
network. This machine is networked via DHCP
so there is not a listing for this machine in the hosts file.

What is in the HTTP address field of the Local site
definition?

Compatability of Illustrator CS4 with CS3

I am trying to find out how to create a file from CS4 in CS3 format. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Has anyone had any type reflow or file problems to be aware of when opening CS3 in CS4 or downsaving CS4 to CS3?
Only Type on a path should reflow. CS3 and CS4 use the same text engine so there shouldn't be any reflowing. Type on a Path was updated in CS4 and improved, so there may be some shifting there.

Illustrator CS4 and CS3 freeze when saving a PDF as an AI file

I'm trying to pull apart a couple of PDFs into layers to import them into After Effects. I do this all the time and it's a pretty standard thing which I haven't had any trouble with before, but for the last couple of days whenever I try to save the PDF as an AI file, the damn thing freezes - I get the washing machine of death (I'm on Vista), the program goes greyed out and I have to restart it, losing all the changes. I've tried the following, none of which seem to make any difference:
- Saving to a different drive (C as opposed to an external USB drive)
- Trying to open the PDFs in CS3 rather than CS4
- Trying a couple of different PDFs
I can't reinstall Illustrator as I'm not at the office until the new year and don't have the disks. The PDFs are small (300k or so) and so it shouldn't be their size making the machine hang, surely? I've attached a sample. Specs are - dual core Dell M6300 laptop, 2.6GHz, 4GB RAM, Quadro 1600 graphics.
Any ideas would be very gratefully received....

Sorry I haven't replied in a few days (I'm at my parents' house for Christmas, so not the ideal place to sort out Illustrator problems )
This is REALLY weird. I was wondering whether Illustrator would be able to save PDFs (which are after all basically the same thing as AI files for this purpose) to get around the problem that way. I tried: it saved the thing fine. Next I tried saving what I'd just saved as a PDF, as an AI file. It saved it in a flash without any problems. (This is with the trashed prefs file - I haven't tried reinstating it, yet.) I've just loaded up a 14Mb AI file, and saved it again without trouble.
There's only one thing I can think of that has been changed since the last time I tried this, when Illustrator wasn't working. This is something which was definitely affecting Word 2007: I've deleted a couple of network printers that were on nonexistent IP addresses. (Word wouldn't load anything, even the most basic of docs - it just froze; washing machine of death, grey screen, etc.) The default printer is thus now a Canon USB thing, which isn't plugged in either, but which Windows seems happy to carry on without. Word seemed unable to continue with the network printers installed, as presumably it was trying to contact them and failing. Could Illustrator have been falling into the same trap??
Anyway, whatever the problem, it seems to be working OK now. Thanks both and hope you have a merry Christmas and New Year period.

Anyone with Flash CS4? I need a CS4 file saved out as CS3

I was working on an assignment for my flash course and as we use Flash CS4 at uni I saved it out in that format. But now when I try to open the same file at home in CS3 it wont work.
Could someone with CS4 please save the file out for me in CS3? I would be HUGELY grateful.
Thank you!

Let me know if this works for ya: http://classroom.eclasses.org/file.php/322/moddata/forum/3710/64846/wk-5-transformations.f la
