Upgrade version of Indesign CS5

Hi,
A few years ago I upgraded from Pagemaker 6.5 to InDesign CS5. I now have a new computer and want to install InDesign CS5, but I don't have the old Pagemaker 6.5 installed on the new PC (I no longer have the CD or serial number). Is there a way around this problem without buying an old Pagemaker version?
Thanks!

Hi John,
It must have been the full version as I just chatted to Adobe through LiveChat and they very kindly changed the serial number to allow me to install the program. I think it was called an upgrade as it was probably a bit cheaper to allow for the fact that we already had Pagemaker. Excellent customer service on their part!

    You can’t. You have upgrade or have whoever is send you files save as IDML. Don’t expect perfection.

  • Is there a way to package an InDesign CC book for earlier versions of InDesign - CS5 specifically?

    Is there a way to package an InDesign CC book for earlier versions of InDesign - CS5 specifically?

    You have to export the individual files to .idml, open those in CS5 and add the CS5 versions to a new CS5 book.

  • Tiff images I used in trial version are now blurry in full version of InDesign CS5.5

    I placed two tiff images (visual poems I made) into a file (a manuscript) using a trial version of InDesign CS5.5, and they appeared clear and crisp. Then I bought the full version of InDesign (the Education product as part of Adobe Creative Suite), opened the file, and the two tiff images are completely blurry!
    When I open the tiffs in photoshop and view them as "actual pixels," they are clear and crisp. The resolution is 300. For one image I tried making it a lower resolution, and that didn't help.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Hi, I just unchecked the Object Level Display and nothing happened.
    Nothing has changed with the images at all. The only thing that is different is that I created the manuscript in a trial version of the software. Maybe it was an earlier version than the software I purchased? Would that have an effect on the images? I didn't purchase the software directly from the trial version I used. What happened is that the trial version expired. Then a month later or so I bought a new laptop, bought the Creative Suite (Education version, so much cheaper than normal), and then installed the software on the laptop. Then I opened my manuscript using the new software, the CS5.5, and everything was fine except for the images being blurry.
    Is it possible I used a trial version in CS5.0 and then bought CS5.5 and that has something to do with it?
    Thanks for all of your help!!
    I just realized I wasn't logged in & that's why I couldn't reply.

  • How do I use a Korean font in an English version of Indesign CS5*

    I have created an English brochure for a client, and the same brochure was translated into German. Now I am being asked for a Korean version. Can someone provide some guidance on how best to proceed in Adobe Indesign CS5? I gather that I use Apple Gothic or another font... but it doesn't show up as Korean. Also, is Korean a vertically read font?
    Thanks!

Also, is Korean a vertically read font?
    Korean is occasionally set vertically, but it's an extremely old-fashioned technique outside of a few limited areas - some ads, the spines of books, et cetera. 
    To be honest, I'd say "package your InDesign file and send it to a firm or freelancer that specializes in English to Korean translation, with experience in the subject matter of your brochure." It sounds like you are asking for automated machine translation within InDesign; ID has no such ability. There are ways to flow automated machine translations into ID documents, but you're most likely to find those tools in the hands of translation agencies anyways.
    No matter where you get your translation done, I'd advise against you trying to typeset the Korean yourself - there are issues with Korean in English-language ID. Without some careful setup, ID will treat Korean characters as if they were Chinese, and will break Korean words in incorrect locations instead of at spaces.

  • Wrong upgrade version for Dreamweaver CS5.5

    Hey Everyone,
    I would really appreciate your help here.
    Our company has purchased around 12 copies of Adobe products, from the suites to individual items. We recently decided to order a couple of upgrades from Amazon. These are upgrades for Dreamweaver CS5.5 from version CS5.
    When the products arrived, I opened one of them and then got an alert saying it was the wrong version of Dreamweaver, when attempting to install. It turns out, we have CS4 and not CS5.5!
    I can't get a refund from Amazon because I have opened the products (they refunded the other one as it was unopened).
    I essentially need an upgrade from CS4 to CS5 as otherwise I am effectively left with a very expensive paperweight here... problem is, Adobe don't sell these anymore. I'm more than happy to pay the difference, but would hate to have to throw away this copy simply because I can't upgrade to the version in between.
    Any help would be very much appreciated, this is really stressing me out
    Thank you

    hello everyone.
    i currently own a version of indesign cs3, and downloaded the cs5 trial version...
    when i install, it asks  "would you like to install as trial?"
    i say  "yes"
    it then installs, but when I try to launch, its picking up some serial number somewhere and telling me that i need to deactivate the products on other machines before i can proceed.
    i own photoshop cs5,   and dreamweaver from that same suite,, but thats it..

    very frustrating..

    thanks for your help.. i really appreciate it..
    so i did a complete uninstall again from the application manager,   downloaded the correct trial version from the adobe site,  and did a complete reinstall,
    and i keep getting the same message when i try to launch.  its seeing some serial number that i dont own.... and does not give me the option to run as a trial..
    super frustrating,   i  run a photoshop retouching company  and own  20 or so photoshops,, and i just need this stupid indesign for an FPO.....
    i have a thousand versions of indesign cs3.. but dont want to pop for the new version over one job....

  • Link to InDesign cs5 server trail version

    Hi,
    Can anyone provide me the link to download the trail version of InDesign CS5 server.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have been using Indesign CS3 for generating automated reports. These reports are large in numbers. Limitation with Indesign CS3 is it only allows single instance of the application. And hence I am forced to generate these reports in sequence using multiple servers. Indesign CS5 server on the other hand seems to allow multiple instances running at the same time. This would mean I can generate multiple reports at the same time. This will reduce time to generate these reports and also limit the number of servers. This is the reason I want to migrate from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server. However, I am not sure if I can get direct upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server or I have to buy new license for Indesign CS5 server. Do you have any idea on this, please suggest. Thanks in advance for your response.
    Regards,
    Chaitan.

  • Upgrade only Indesign CS5.5 to CS6 (instead of whole Design Premium)

    Hi,
    is it possible to upgrade only my Indesign CS5.5 to CS6, instead of upgrading my whole Design Premium Suite?
    I purchased the indesign-upgrade, but now I can't install it.
    thanks!

    you should contact adobe support.  if anyone can help you upgrade from a suite to an individual producet, then can.
    i don't believe they will be able to do that in which case you'll probably need to contact them about a refund.
    so, in either case, contact adobe support:  http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html

  • Adobe Indesign Cs5.5 to Indesign CS6

    We have a site license for Adobe Indesign Cs5.5 for 200+ seats running on 10 terminal servers. It took us about a month to test/tweak/modify Indesign CS5.5 to accommodate our workflow. We would like to upgrade to InDesign CS6, but here is my problem, I have Indesign CS5.5 on my PC as testing and when I installed Indesign CS6, it kept CS5.5 and of course it did a fresh install of CS6, and so we would have to go though about 2-3 weeks to again  test/tweak/modify CS6 to accommodate our workflow…..
    My question is, is their just and upgrade installer from Indesign CS5.5 to CS6 where it keeps all of our current modifications?

    That's humbug. Buying a newer version doesn't entitle you to use older versions nor is it technically possible since it would keep Adobe busy all day issuing extra legacy serial numbers.

  • InDesign CS5 crashes when trying to export a PDF and/or a Warning dialog box appears!

    Just bought a new macbook pro 15" non retina the other day and the SAME version of InDesign CS5 that was running on my 2010 iMac is now crashing each time I get a Warning dialog box and/or try exporting a PDF?!??!?! How was this NOT an issue before and now is??? Running the same Lion 10.7.4 as well....
    Holding the alt key while deleting a page does help it not prompt the warning dialog box, but no help to exporting a pdf...
    So guessing this is a Apple issue and we need an update or??
    I am only using Fontbook and have NOT even added any new fonts yet, practically bare bones mac still with just CS5...
    What is also weird is that the warning dialog boxes are always BLANK and have no text on them, like there is a font issue??
    I've cleared the system font cache, reset InDesign prefs, reset PRAM and NVRAM, re-installed InDesign and updated to 7.0.4...
    This is madness....please help me in the name of all that is good.
    Crash:
    http://pastebin.com/DYv0vwNQ

    figured it out:
    - power off mac and turn back on while holding down Command + R (dont do it on an external keyboard just to be safe)
    - choose the re-install Lion option (I'm sure there is another way to re-install Lion, this is just the way I did it, not saying its the best or only method)
    - DO NOT INSTALL MACBOOK (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0 - THIS SCREWS ADOBE UP!

  • InDesign CS5

    The trial version of InDesign CS5 is not working properly. I didn't have any problem downloading and installing.
    I am having problem using it. It does not click on the tools/icons that I want to select. For example, I want click on selection arrow -- it does not work or I want to click on create a new page icon, it does not do anything. Some icons work, e.g. Type Text icon is working but most of them are not; like I cannot change the font or font size using the drop down list in the control panel.
    I am absolutely new to this program and following an online course. Therefore, I have not used everything.
    What should I do?

    Does this help?
