Saving down from CS5.5 to CS5

I previously had CS5 and recently upgraded to CS5.5 but a lot of my partners are still working in the CS5 version. Is it necessary to save down to CS5 from CS5.5?
Additionally, if I wanted to save down from CS5.5 to CS4 would i have to save down to CS5 and then from CS5 save down again to CS4?
Thanks for your help!

What if i want to send a packaged file that has been saved down? Do i package the file in CS5.5 then export to IDML and save it down and then place
the IDML file in with the packaged file so that when someone in a lower version opens it they are still able to access all the links and fonts?

Saving down from CS5 to CS4 cross-platform

Working on a PC, I am saving down from CS5 to CS4, exporting as an idml. The client is using CS4 on a MAC. When the file opens, the Master Page content is superimposing over the content of the page. Help!

Hi Bob and thank you for your help.
The answer to your question is yes. But now I have more information:
- I opened the idml file on my PC and I see the same thing as my client who is using a MAC.
- It occurred to me that my client created the original ind file himself (on a MAC) then sent it to me to work on.
- BUT my client's ind file was a originally a Quark file converted to InDesign CS4.
- I just completed another project for the client but I created it from scratch in CS5 then saved as an idml file so his MAC could read it. He had no problem with the idml file.

Is CS4 fully patched to 6.0.5?

Why does saving down from Illustrator 6 to older version sometimes not work?

We have some users with CS6 and some with CS3 and 4, when a user tries to open an illustrator file from CS3 and 4 saved down from CS6 it will not open. some files will open but most won't.

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Saving Down from CS3 to CS2

I can't seem to save my CS3 document in a way for a CS2 user to open. I go to export and save as indesign interchange. What am I doing wrong. Thanks for any help!!

What are you doing after you export? What are you sending? What is the
problem the CS2 user is having? Is the CS2 user fully patched to 4.0.5?

Help me export small document from CS5.5 to CS5?

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me in saving down a CS5.5 document to a CS5 version (idml) -- I am out of town and the client that I am working for sent me a CSS5.5 version but the computer I have access to only has CS5. I would ask them for a new version but they are travelling and wont be back for about a week or so.
I have a dropbox account and/or could quickly upload/email the 1.4mb file to anyone that might be able to help
Thanks for taking the time to look at this
Cheers

Thanks Peter for the offer, I was able to get the specs of the CS5.5 template and recreate it... thanks again for your time

Saving to previous versions from CS5

Checked out the launch this morning and am definitely interested in stepping up to CS5 from CS3. However, I often need to exchange native files with vendors who I'm sure won't upgrade. Is it going to be possible to save or export back to CS3 from CS5 or will I need CS4 as a step in-between??

We won't go to CS5 if Adobe has decided not to do away with this workflow obstacle. The .inx system where a CS5 document has to be saved as an exchange document, which has to be opened in CS4 and saved as an exchange doc, which has to be opened in CS3 and saved as an exchange doc in order to open in CS2 is nuts. No reason to upgrade anyone if it means more of that.

CS6 Three-Way CC not importing setting from CS5.5 Timelines or from Saved Presets from CS.5.5

Hello,
I had created two presets for the CS5.5 Three Way Color Corrector that I use in almost every project for dealing with sun shadows and hightlights on talents's skin and they no longer work in CS6. I've tried loading the old project/timeline/sequence into Premiere CS6 but the TWCC just acts like it is at default settings. No changes to the video at all.
I also had saved my two TWCC settings as presets (from CS5.5) to the hard drive to I would not loose them. I tried reloading those presets into CS6 but same problem.. they do nothing now. I guess no one checked to see that the new CS6 TWCC was backwards compatible with CS5.5. Major problem when loading / converting cs5.5 timelines to update client's projects. Adobe, please take a look at this and fix as soon as you can. Thanks! Wayland
Version info:
CS6 Cloud (last update as of friday Sept. 28, 2012)
CS5.5 Master Collection (previous version - now uninstalled)
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Hi Jim,
I've spent the better part of the day trying to redo what I had before and frankly the new TWCC sucks! The previous one was sooo much better. I can't even get close to what I had before. Many of the controls show up when you select 'show' but have little or no effect on the real video. I wish I could just delete the current one and replace it with the old one. If I still had CS5.5 I'd try that. Not happy at all. I'll be up all night trying to catch up due to time wasted on this stupid redesign of the TWCC as I have a ton of work due tomorrow.
Thanks for the reply and Best Wishes,
Wayland

Cannot locate images saved from CS5

I recently upgraded not only from CS3 to CS5, but also from a PC to a Mac. I am having trouble locating some of the images that I am saving from CS5 in the folder that I saved them in. For example, I edited approximately 10 images and saved them into a new folder. When I started to upload them, I noticed that 4 of them were not in the folder that I saved them to. I checked first to make sure I had not saved them in the original folder, and I didn't. Next, I checked the images in photoshop to see if they had been saved. And they had been. Then I tried to save them again into the folder and it told me that this file already exists. But...it's not there. Or at least I cannot find it. Anyone have any idea where these saved images are hiding?

On Mac, the default folder is your user document folder - very much like on a PC. It's actual location on the mac volume is Mac HD:Users:Abingram:Documents, assuming default names. You should have no problems finding them. Saving them to another location should work just the same, but since user management is more rigid in UNIX environments, you may simply not see it if it is in a system folder or another user's folder. OSX actually hides some of these folders then and they are excluded from your personal Spotlight search. To circumevent this and recover your files, you might try to grant yourself admin privileges temporarily in your user control panel ("User can manage this computer"). If you are the only user, this already should be the case and then you may need to check folder permissions by invoking the info panle (Cmd+I)...

How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

Yes. Thanks. I misled myself based on another post. Successfully did this by selecting "File," "Save a copy ..." then choosing "for CS4 or later (IDML)"
It required some patience and several tries, but I think that was due to hardware (memory) being overloaded by CC Cloud version or something. It was a 50 MB, 500-page file and took 17 minutes to convert/save,
Re-capping: from CCloud to CS5, don't use "Export" (to IDML); use "Save as" or "Save a copy" and select "for CS4 or later (IDML)".
Advice much appreciated.

How can I save down from InDesign CS5 to Indesign CS2?

Is it possible to save a file from cs5 to cs2?
Thank you

Yes, but only if you have CS4. Be aware that it opens up a can of worms of potential problems but should be OK for less complex documents in one off cases.
To do it export an idml from CS5, open in CS4 and export a inx file. Then go here and follow the instructions, or just do the same thing in CS3 if you have that.

Saving down to Illustrator 10 EPS from CS6 and CC issues

Hey All,
Hearing from people in Forums (and personal experience) that CS6 and CC are both having issues saving down files to AI 10 EPS. Currently CS5 can save an Illustrator file with effects like Drop Shadows and Transparencies and maintain those as vector elements when saved to AI 10 EPS. CS6 and CC turn those elements into Raster graphic elements. My work requires me to save files down to EPS 10. Currently using both CS6 and CC for the many new features they offer. Really don't want to go backwards!
Please pass along any info you have for this issue.
Thanks!

That's not an issue, that's just how things work.
The gaussian blur has been redesigned form the ground up and is not downwards compatible any more.
Gaussian blur is used in drop shadows, soft edges and glows as well.
So if you need to save down to EPS 10 you need to use an older version than CS6.

Saving files in CS5.1 becomes unbearable slow very quickly.

Let me start by saying, I really really really like Fireowrks for web visuals preperation works. It just does 95% of what I want to do in the way I want to work.
I've search the web far and wide and found quite a few people asking similar questions, worryingly spanning many versions of Fireworks, but I still havn't found any sort of comprehensive answer
I'm running a macbook pro
OSX 10.7.3
i7
8gb Ram
Fireworks CS5.1
Plenty of space on my hard drive.
Levels of undo set to 10 (ten)
The symptoms seem already well documented elsewhere and mine seem no different.
I create a file in Fireworks (approx 1100 x 2000px) create a website screen mockup, and then perhaps duplicate the framework to several more pages within the file and editing them to show different website pages. There is another issue that at some point Fireworks WILL crash, so I've got a long standing habit of saving very regularly (to the point of being OCD about it) I can live with that issue but the problem is that saving very soon becomes very slow to save.
I can open up my file (34mb in totoal, 8 pages) from a fresh reboot, no other apps running and move one item 1 px and hit save and firework can take 13 seconds to save the file. As I'm saving because of the crashing issue, every couple of minutes, this 13 seconds is quite a big percentage of my time.
If I "save as" and then restart everything from scratch (mac and app) and open the new file and do the same test its still 13 secs to do a save. If I delete 7 of the 8 pages and then "save as" again, the save time does drop to 5 seconds.
Is this normal? I handle much much bigger files in different apps, such as photoshop, without this sort of problem.

I've now upgraded my MBP to a SSD drive and the machine in general flies (opening Aperture down from 26 secs to just 3 secs) and I've installed the trial of Fireworks CS6.
BUT...
The problem is still there. Take a 36mb file using no symbols, move an item hit save and it still taking 10-12 seconds. So there its nothing to do hardware - Its a real shame as Fireworks is close to be the ideal product but this major flaw makes it almost unusable in busy day to day environment

SWFs published from CS6 do not work, but from CS5 they do

I have recently begun learning how to create animations in Adobe Flash. I've been using Flash CS5. After creating my animations, I would embed them in Microsoft Powerpoint as shockwave flash objects. I would then send the powerpoint to my dad through dropbox; everything worked great.
Then I was able to install Flash CS6. I continued saving them as CS5 projects to be consistent. I would still publish them as shockwave objects and embed them on powerpoint like before. On my computer, they all worked fine.
I now have a powerpoint that has a combination of videos from both CS5 and CS6 on different slides (though they're all saved as CS5 files and all embedded into my ppt). When I send the ppt to my dad, however, the newest videos don't play on his computer.
The old ones work fine for him, but the updated animations are shown in the powerpoint as black boxes, and when right-clicked, have the greyed-out text 'Movie not loaded' with no other options. In edit mode (aka when the powerpoint is on the normal, editable view) the old animations look perfectly normal, whereas the new ones are white with a black 'x' across them.
I've scoured the web for answers, but CS6 is so new that nobody else has seemed to come across this problem. I don't know if it's a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. I also don't know if it's a problem with flash, shockwave, or powerpoint.
It doesn't make any sense to me, since the CS6 animations are still saved as CS5 and shouldn't be treated any differently by powerpoint. This is especially true since the animations play on my computer and not his!
Thanks for the help,
Emily

Did you ever solve this one?
Would be nice to know.

Mini Bridge Layout Changes from CS5.5 to CS6

I recently upgraded from CS5.5 to CS6 on my work PC and I noticed a real annoying change with the layout of the Mini Bridge, specifically in InDesign. I was really hoping (and praying) that there would be a way to get the layout back to the way it was in CS5.5.
When the Mini Bridge is open the way it used to be was split at the top with the left side with favorites and the right side with a file navigator. The favorites portion was always there and did not disappear when you clicked on a folder, rather it just loaded the file list up in the bottom portion of the window. I REALLY miss that. Now in CS6 there is a drop down bar that is a pain to use and navigate through and when you click on the favorites (or any other option) it loads into the only navigation bar when you click on a folder it does not display the folders inside of it, instead just files in the folder.
Is there any way to get the Mini Bridge back to the original way? Is there an option I can click to get it to display the favorites list at all times and go back to the way it worked in CS 5.5?

Please Help!

I've found mini bridge is unusable when it is docked. If you float it then favorites is on the left.
Sounds like you are describing the docked version:
