What is InDesign CS8.0?

I'm confused. I am trying to open an InDesign file sent from an external company. I have CS6 installed. When I try and open the file I get the following error message. What is CS8.0??? I thought the versions went from CS6 straight to CC???

Ok, this means the file was last saved with InDesign CC2014 (which is reported as CS 8.0). It may have been started in CS6, but someone edited it in CC2014.
CC2014 is two versions newer than CS6. CS6 was released in 2011.
If you are a CC subscriber you can have both CS6 and CC2014 at the same time.

The version error messages are really screwed up and out of sync with the new naming (CC) system. CS8.1 would be CC2014 version 10.1

Saved with a newer version of Adobe indesign (CS8.0)

latest version of creative cloud will not open indesign files i get "saved with a newer version of Adobe indesign (CS8.0)"

You've got the wrong version of InDesign to open the file, it's that simple.
InDesign Cs6 is available on Creative Cloud, and if that's up to date it won't open InDesign CC or InDesign CC 2014 files.
You'll need to download InDesign CC2014 from the Creative Cloud.

What about InDesign CS5 SDK.

I got information that Adobe Will soon release its InDesign CS5. Is there any information about its SDK?
Thanks.

No. It is not wrong information. I am sure that Adobe will release InDesign CS5 see the web site at the bottom
August 12, 2009
Adobe today announced that future versions of the Creative Suite for the Mac OS would no longer support computers with the PowerPC chipset. That is, CS5 and later will only support Intel-based Macs.
Wow.
Well, given that Apple itself is dropping PowerPC support in Snow Leopard (10.6), it’s kind of a no-brainer that Adobe would follow along. But it’s still a bit of a shock to see it in writing. I’m glad that Adobe has released this information now, so that companies thatexpect to upgrade to CS5 will have time to ensure their hardware is upgraded, too.
In the meantime, Adobe notes: “Those who own Creative Suite 3 and Creative Suite 4 will still be able to use the software on either a PowerPC based Mac or an Intel based Mac and do not have to upgrade their software. However, Adobe will not be developing for this platform other than for critical issues that may arise.”

Windows 7, InDesign, and KeyServer -- Won't Start!

This combo has been reported in the past: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/517804
But after 3 uninstalls and re-installs and InDesign not even starting, I thought I would ask you professionals
So here are my relevant details:
- Windows 7 64 bit via BootCamp on a Macbook Pro. (Note: I haven't yet tried installing InDesign on my mac partition but I would prefer to run the program on my Windows side...) Installed cleanly (not in-place upgrade)
- KeyServer & VPN - because I'm a uni student and I'm running this at home
- ...and Adobe Acrobat (would this be a problem), Microsoft Security Essentials, etc. My installation failed at first because of an Acrobat-related process that ran at start-up but I disabled it as soon as I rebooted and uninstalled and it went through cleanly. It keeps appearing when I reboot -- I always end it before attempting to run InDesign but could this be an underlying problem?
- No bank software (others: this has been reported to be a problem)
Tried running in compatibility mode, in administrator mode, looked for "prefs" (as recommended in another thread), but alas here is what happens:
InDesign.exe appears in Processes but it doesn't open or load or show up under Applications in Windows Task Manager. What gives?
Please help! And yes, I will try installing CS4 on my Mac OSX partition but I would really love to have it on this partition.

Right, I did see that -- and I downloaded the most recent version of KeyServer to no avail...
Also, Adobe CS4 Service Manager runs at startup (listed under msconfig)...Could this be a problem?

Opening InDesign CS3 documents in CS4

I am hoping someone from Adobe can help me with this question. Here is the scenario:
I work on the support team in a prepress environment where we get hundreds of client supplied InDesign files weekly. Some clients supply their files in InDesign CS3 and some supply the files in InDesign CS4. We have both applications.
From our experience, we have found that if we open a InDesign CS3 document using InDesign CS4, there is a potential for items to disappear in the document. I don't know what changed from 3 to 4 to cause this problem. This has happened to us more than one time and we have experienced money losses due to on press errors.
One would say, as we have, if the document is supplied in InDesign CS3, work on it in InDesign CS3. Easy enough, right?
Well, not really. If you have CS3 and CS4 both installed on your mac at the same time, simply double-clicking on the file will default to CS4 (since it is newer).
We have told our operators that they need to identify what version the file was created in; which is not the easiest thing either.
If you "get info" on the file, you do not get accurate information. It may say "CS4", even if it is "CS3", I think this is because your system is reading what the newest application that you have install is.
I have found that by dragging the file over the CS3 icon in the doc, it will attempt to open the file in CS3 and if it truly is a CS4 document, you will get plugin errors and the file won't open. This works, but my 38 mac operators are so used to just double-clicking a file to open it, they sometimes forget to do it my way, and thats when we get errors.
Is there a plugin available that would prompt you, when double -clicking on a file as to what version it is, or what version InDesign that you would like to open the file in?
What did Adobe change in InDesign CS4 that would cause items to disappear or change when working on CS3 documents in CS4?
Thank you in advance.

First, this is a user forum, not an official Adobe support site, so you aren't talking to Adobe employees for the most part.
Second, though it is subtle, there is a visible difference between the icons for file created in CS3 and CS4, but you do need to look.
There is (or perhaps it's now "was") a known issue with master items disappearing when placing one ID file into another in CS4. Be sure your copies are updated to the latest patch. Another reason to avoid opening CS3 files in CS4 is potential differences in text flow due to text engine differences which will affect how lines break.
If you want to train your people in a hurry, tell them the next time you have to re-run a job because they opened it in the wrong version you'll deduct the cost from their pay.

When will we be able to open and edit PDF documents in Indesign?

Hi
It would be nice if Indesign could open PDF files.
When will this happen (without a plugin)?
Today I need to open the files in Illustrator. The customer prefers to use Indesign, so even though Indesign can export pdf documents I will have to tell the customer and the program can not open pdf files. This I find really weird.
Hopefully opening and editing pdf files in Indesign will happen real soon.
Have a great day!

Paal, I'm sorry for that little out-lash. There is nothing wrong with inquiring the feasability of a new feature. The problem is that PDF has been an "output intended format" from the very beginning.
An Illustrator file (from a fairly modern version) also is a PDF file, for all intents and purposes. You can rename an .AI file to .PDF and use it anywhere, with any software that supports PDF (so that's excepting Apple's Preview, probably ;-) ). Moreover, you can still open and edit this PDF with Illustrator and get all of your objects, symbols, layers, paragraph styles, and guides back!
That's because in fact this file *contains* all this extra information in a data block marked "For Private Use Only". Other software, if adhering to Adobe's PDF specs, will simply ignore this (and thus my little jab at Apple's Preview). Does that mean you can edit such a PDF with *any* software? No -- the Illustrator data is "proprietary", and the details are not published to use by other software developers. Similarly, one could envisage InDesign to do the same. Yes, it would lead to *huge* files -- but hey, you would be able to open THAT file into InDesign and edit it. But not with any other software!
The meta-problem is that an extremely large amount of this private data would be *extremely* dependant on the software that was used to create it with. What would an Illustrator file do with InDesign's GREP styles? What would InDesign do with Illlustrator's brush styles, or symbols? Illustrator allows slanted guides, InDesign does not.
And let's not focus purely on a combo of ID and Illy; Photoshop *also* outputs PDFs, and its graphic data has yet another set of requirements.
So all of Adobe's software would need to be able to parse *every others' data* to some degree. Well, it's still not "unconceivable" as all of this would need to be done in one office (note that in that single office there are still vast differences in something as straightforward as a User Interface across the CS suite). But there are lots of other software developers out there, and they *all* want to write out PDFs, all with their own internal data! (Think of the different requirements between an architectural app and one for graph plotting.)
A *possible* solution would be to add "more" metadata to a PDF without crossing into the realm of "every single bit". Article tagging is an example of this -- it tells software that wants to know in which order *plain text* is to appear, and as such it serves as meta-data for plain text content. But the mind reels thinking of what more to add -- a list of used GREP styles per paragraph would probably be useless to anyone else.
But such an idea will not solve the problem, as 1. this meta-data is optional (lazy programmers would be allowed to say "nothing to see here, move along"), and 2. this data would only get added to *newly created* files, and it would not retroactively make older PDFs editable ...
(Now that's just the *short* version :-) h

5 seconds to Paradise: From where InDesign reads the live captions?

Hi all,
After searching a lot in finding the best cross-platform organizer & viewer around, I finally (ALMOST) found it.
It is called XnView MP and it has an ultra-fast thumbnail manager, viewer - it supports a very big number of file formats for thumbnailing/viewing - including InDesign(!) - a top-notch cataloging, the best & fastest batch convert which I could find and... <insert your advertising of choice here>.
Highly recommended.
</ad off>
However there is a problem:
When we add/edit the metadata for an image (specifically the caption) in its IPTC/XMP editor (Ctrl+I), the text isn't shown with the Live Captions feature of InDesign CS6.
We discuss with the developing team of XnView MP and they are very responsive and want to fix the problem but we don't know (yet) from where InDesign reads its metadata.
Some more technical info to describe the problem:
1. The files are TIFF (LZW packed) files.
2. If we open the file in Photoshop, press Ctrl+Shift+I in order to bring its IPTC editor, the caption entered with XnView shows up correctly in the Description field.
3. If, after the step 2, we close the editor with 'Ok' do a 'Save As' in Photoshop and overwrite the file, the caption will appear correctly in InDesign.
4. If, after the stpe 3, we (re)open the image in XnView MP's IPTC editor the caption is there.
It seems that Photoshop does something behind the scenes and fill the area from where InDesign reads it.
Does someone know from what fields InDesign reads its info for Live Captions?

I don't really have an answer for you - I guess it's up to them to figure it out.
Sorry I can't help any further.

Installing Indesign CS2 on WIN7 64-Bit

Hello,
i tried to install InDesign CS2 Upgrade from the original CD-Rom on a new PC with WIN7 64-bit.
To activate the installation I used the serial number from the version 1.0 IGP100R7012137-635 from the original register card from InDesign 1.0.
This combination was used since any years on my old XP-PC and now I want to use it on the new system.
What happened: InDesign CS2 said during the installation process: this serial no. IGP100R7012137-635 is not an InDesing serial no.
I contacted Adobe via chat and they said, I need an InDesign CS2 version without need for activation, because Adobe killed the server for this function because of technical reasons.
My question: from where can I get these InDesign CS2 version without need for activation?
The serial number from my CS2 InDesign is: Deleted by moderator.
Who can help or knows an easier solution?
Thank you in advance for help!
Renate.

NEVER post a serial number on a public forum and be aware that CS2 is totally unsupported on Windows 7 and will be even worse on a 64 bit system. Heed the warning on that page:
Adobe does not support CS2 applications, which were released more than seven years ago. Adobe strongly advises against running unsupported and outdated software.

PS CS5 vs. Indesign?

I have PS CS5 and now need to make an advertisement page. Are the tools of PS sufficient fo rmy purpose or is it adviseable to buy Indesign? I cannot really find what advantages Indesign would offer over PS in Adobe's product description.

Well, since I have a website, I did not want or need to start from scratch. I simply have no time for that. I have a job nothing to do with pictures or adverts, I have a very time-consuming hobby (for which the advert is meant) and it is bad enough that I'll have to edit my pictures again on 300 dpi. As the header should be the same as on tmy website anyway for recognition purposes - only obviously have a different resolution and colour system - I'll use that. It happens to contain some text, yes. I also asked a professional to give me help, but I have to give him the basic idea of what I want. And in order to get that, I have to make a layout for myself, to see how the pictures "work", which arrangement I like best, etc. No, I am not a pro, just an amateur asking for some information.

Can't See Indesign File, It Crashes, I Re-open It and It Works

When I open my large Indesign file, everything appears normally except I have a black screen where the document should display. The document tab exists as does the thumbnail view of all the pages, etc, but no actual document. When I try to close, Indesign crashes. When I re-open, the file opens fine and I can see everything as normal. This pattern of black screen - crashing - reponing to normal repeats itself over and over.
I'm on a Windows machine running the most recent version of Indesign CC.
I've tried "save as" to a new file name - same problem. I just go off the phone with Adobe support and they messed around, trashing my preferences and creating a new user account. The new administrator account kind of worked but I still got the problem to persist - once.
Before this all started, I was moving files around and did not move a "lock" file with the main file from one of the crashes. I wonder if this could be related? Any ideas?

More information:
This problem persists with other large Indesign documents of mine. It appears that the Indesign files themselves are not corrupt.
This problem definitely persists in the "Administrator" user account that was created with Adobe's support. So, switching to a new user did not help.
At the same time, I'm experiencing problems with Creative Cloud file storage, where I used to store some of the files associated with this document. However, it just doesn't feel like the two problems should be related.
What is Indesign doing??? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
