Saving or exporting a file in CS5 as a CS3 file.

I have CS5 at home and CS3 at work. Transporting files out of CS5 are not compatible with CS3 and there is no option of either saving or exporting files out of CS5 to/for CS3.
Help. I had this function in CS4 - this is a huge problem.
Is there something I am missing?

Yes; CS4.
InDesign has never been able to export to a file readable by any version except itself or the one previous. InDesign CS5 files can be exported as .idml files readable by InDesign CS5 and InDesign CS4. InDesign CS4 is needed to export an .inx file readable by InDEsign CS4 and InDEsign CS3.
Each version of InDesign introduces features unsupported by the previous version. When you export as .inx or .idml the file must be fully compatible with the current version and all its features as well as as-compatible-as-possible with the previous version. This can get complicated to build into the file format. To ask that the format also support earlier versions is unreasonable. That would require the file to fully support the current version and all its advanced features, as well as save the same data in a way that two or more earlier versions can read, each with their own unique feature lists.
As well as losing and formatting unsupported by earlier versions when you go through this CS5 > CS4 > CS3 process, you also have a high risk of text reflowing each time you switch from one version to another. It is a terrible way to work. If you must share files between your home computer and your work computer, pick one version of InDesign and use that exclusively. That means either having and using CS3 at work or installing CS5 at home.

Saving converted Export PDF files

I use the Export PDF function, convert to Word Doc, and a dialogue appears asking me to download the conversion as it is successful. When I try to save the document to my Desktop, it won't. There is a drop-down box next to the Save button that says 'Save to Online Account' - I have no idea what this means - where is my converted file and how do I access it?

Hi DJ,
I'd like to assist!
Are you using a MAC or PC?
You can always access your files by going to files.acrobat.com and logging in using your Adobe ID and password. You should be able to download them from there.
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Kind regards, Stacy

Seems to be ok especially if you enlarge the object before you copy it into photoshop.
I think what you are pasting (never bothered to try this) is just the screen preview, hence the need to enlarge. Why would you waste your time doing that instead of exporting to a high-res PDF?

InDesign file saving and exporting S-L-O-W.

I am a designer using the InDesign/InCopy layout workflow. After my last post things were working pretty good for awhile. But now it is taking more than an hour to save over the network. I tried putting everything in the same folder on the network (links and all) and it still took me more than an hour just to relink a placed InCopy story. I am going mad. A week overdue for my first draft and I can't do anything. So today I decided to just use the package workflow to speed things up. However it still takes as long to create assignments even after I have saved the InDesign file and links to my desktop.
Is there any possibility this is caused by using the last document and saving as new name? Even if I have unlinked all assignments and stories first?
I've tried saving as an inx file but I lock up.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Holly

It turns out that is the issue. AnneMarie, were you able to find the other thread? I thought my problem was solved by deleting the random 40,000+ lines of garbage using a text edit program. But the random lines are re-generated each time I save the file in indesign. My IT Manager thinks it has to do with the InCopy plugin. In analyzing the 'garbage lines', here is what we do know. Each time a body of text is saved using the InCopy plugin, it is generating 62 unique id's of random URLs, and multiplies those id's 657 times...thus creating 40,000+ lines of garbage that bogs down the file. The urls are not used anywhere in my Indesign file, so we can't figure how the plugin is gaining access to the URLs to generate them.
We tested it on a brand new block of text in the file that had never been exported as an Incopy file (working off the desktop the whole time) - and the resulting .icml file still had similar URLs generated (all 40,000+). The plugin version is 6.0.0.352. Indesign Application version is CS4 6.0.4.578. Here is one URL pulled from the file: <HyperlinkURLDestination Self="u54e9" Name="URL 275" DestinationURL="http://www.evanta.com/details_popup.php?cmd=speaker&id=6963" Hidden="false" DestinationUniqueKey="694"/>
Any ideas on how to stop the URLs from generating each time I have to save the file?

Changes are not saved in Exported file

I am using the trial version of Lightroom 5. When I do a Lens Correction and then export the file, the new file is the same as the original before my corrections when I open it in Photoshop or another program. Help!

Lr & Photoshop both have the potential to use tiny (xmp) files for storing changes (and never save any other files), and both can save/export big honkin' tiffs, or like-sized jpegs...
If you save files in Photoshop with layers and such stuff, the files can get pretty big.
So, to answer your question: "It depends..." - which files, how saved/exported...
Try some stuff and inspect the file sizes!

Exporting InDesign files to Flash, CS5.5

I exported an InDesign file as a Flash file but in flash it shows up as low res when I preview it or when others preview it. What am I doing wrong? I have never used Flash before. I am working with CS5.5
I exported the file as a SWF file and when a colleague viewed it, she said it was quite pixelated.
What should I do? Is there a better method for someone very very new to Flash?

you can set the export resolution and package quality in Export SWF window´s Advanced Tab.
Higher resolution will not help if the original quality of your placed images is low.
And don´t set the resolution too high, if you have lot´s of images you may end up having a bloated SWF.

First be sure login and password are OK. Sometimes the address starts wit "http://..." and sometime starts with "ftp://...". Try both normal FTP access and Scure FTP access (SFTP). At the end, contact the site's provider.

Issues exporting gradients from Illustrator CS5 files to EPS 8

Hello everyone, I'm having problems exporting illustrator files to EPS, mainly with gradients that aren't rendering properly. These fills are appearing as small sliced objects rather than complete shapes. Any advice?
Thanks!

Illustrator 8 is over a decade old. I expect that Adobe has significantly changed the way gradients are saved in Illustrator files since version 8. So, in order to preserve the appearance of the gradient Illustrator just expands it, rather than continuing to support a legacy format that’s so old. This is unfortunate but understandable.
Perhaps there are other options. Why are you saving as an Illustrator 8 EPS file? Surely you are not sending the file to someone who has no more recent version than 8? If the file is not meant for use exclusively with Adobe Illustrator 8 then it will be converted to some other format when the person you are sending it to opens it. When that happens, expect the gradient to be converted anyway.
My point is I doubt this Illustrator 8 EPS file will need to be edited, so it doesn’t matter that the gradient is expanded.

Hi, I'm having trouble saving the documents when merging in Preview. I don't have any problems merging the pdf documents by dragging them in preview, but when I try to save and open afterwards, only the last shown doc was saved, not the combined files I wanted to merge. I've tried save and export, but none merge the documents after saving... how can I create the file (with all the pdf files) after merging?

That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

Adobe Audition Help | Saving and exporting files (CS6)

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/audition/using/saving-exporting-files1.html

Just to re-iterate the first three minutes of my audio has a marker called Marker 01, then the next 3 minute section is Marker 02, etc, so when I select all the markers, merge them, set the prefix and postfix to Track and 001 respectively, and click export, the audio that should accompany Marker 01, now as an exported wav file is Track_099 and Marker 99 is Track_001.
Hmm... just one marker to start with? At the start or the end of the time selection? The only way that I think your scenario could happen would be by there being no marker at the very start of the file, but in that case I don't see how you could include the first section (from zero time) anyway if you did that, so I'm a bit dubious... What would happen in this scenario would be that if you put in markers starting at 1 from the end of the first section, it would have to add a final marker for the start of the file, and this would be, let's say, marker 99. So the first file would start with marker 99 - but that would effectively be at the end of the batch ranges - if you see what I mean. But my real problem with this is that I don't see how you could include the first range in the audio at all without a marker at both ends of it. Now, what might have happened is that if you forget, and add the start marker after putting in all of the rest, then yes, you will get the above scenario - because markers are added sequentially and renumbering doesn't occur.
I've not had this problem - but there again I always start with a marker at zero before I convert to ranges. What should happen then is that it will take the marker label from the start of the range, and use that. The other thing you should consider is using the facility to rename the files - that should get around this completely as far as straightforward numbering is concerned.

I am using Indesign cs5 version 7.0.4 with a mac OS X version 10.9.4. I am having an issue where the save and save as option disappears. I am exporting the file as .idml and then resaving to avoid losing work but has to import all the images which takes ages. Any help out there?

I believe there are a couple of similar threads about CC or CC2014 behaving this way that might give yo some hints, but CS5 is not supported on your OS and may not run properly regardless of what you do. An in-place OS upgrade or an attempt to migrate the application would both be major problems for ID, so if you did either of those things you'll want to uninstall, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall.

Can CS5 export *.MTS files?

I use a Panasonic TM700, which records videos in the MTS format. I've had no trouble importing these into Premiere Pro, and the format works really well for me. But I'd like to take my projects, and _export_ them to MTS fils which I can then load onto my video camera's memory.
Here's why. I can attach my computer to my HDTV, but I can only use it as a monitor. I can't play full hi-def 1920x1080 video and have it look terribly good that way. But, I can connect my camera to the TV. So if I can get the video on the camera...
Is there a set of export settings that will create an MTS file that I can load onto my camera?

Hi Brian, have you found another method, or different software, to export mts files? I need to do the same for a similar reason.
Thanks,
Chris

How to fix file when it says, "Cannot open file " ". Adobe Indesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or file may be open in another application." It worked one second, I saved and closed the file, then tried to reopen and now it won't work. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5. It is the only version on my comp. I have tried opening on another comp & copying the file – same error comes up. PLEASE HELP

First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
You can find it here:
[Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
CS7 = CC v9
CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

Winfile.cpp-759 error when exporting .flv files

Hi,
Just got over the P2 file problem (stopped using them in CS5, gone back to CS4) and a new problem has occured.
I have been exporting .flv files since I first installed CS5, suddenly today Premiere crashes when trying to export individual .flv files and so does the media encoder.
Any ideas?
Thanks

The given problem doesn't have the obvious cause. But it can be avoided.
The problem emerges after Premiere import video clips with attached audio files, while 'confoming audio'. After the conforming, the 'broken' audio files cannot be heard with playback, or incorporated in export.
There are two solutions to this problem.
First: While ripping material, or importnig previously ripped material, import separately audio and video data.
Second: If you, while working, run into audio stream that doesn't hear ( because of the given 'conforming' ), edit audio of original clip in some sound editing program ( Adobe SoundBooth, for instance ) by cuting it to new file, resampling it, saving to *.wav ( for example ) and importing it to your Premiere project, replacing the broken audio data.
That should do the trick. At least, it did it for me.
Cheers!
