Which version of InDesign created or modifed my file? (mac)

Hi there,
How do I check which version of InDesign created or modified my .indd file? I know this is easy to check in Windows but I'm not sure how do it on a mac.
Cheers,
Rob.

Thanks Bob. But cmd-clicking on the file does nothing. If I cntrl-click I get a menu but there is no About InDesign. Just to be clear, I'm clicking on an .indd that cannot be opened by InDesign.  It opens on PCs and Macs in the lab (i work at a uni) but not on the mac it was created and modified on. The error message is " Cannot open **filename**, please upgrade your plugin to their latest version or update to the latest version of indesign ".
Any help appreciated.

  • Which version of InDesign on OSX can open a CS2 file!?

    Hello, I was using Creative Suite 2 on my Mac with an older operating system. My Mac died and I had the HD replaced. They have updated to OS X and CS2 is not compatible with this system. Which version of InDesign in particular can open a CS2 file!? Many thanks

    As far as I know, all versions after CS2 should be able to open CS2 documents. Cannot test this, my oldest version installed is CS3.
    Depending on the Mac and your current OSX CS6 would be the only logical replacement for your old CS2 version.
    CS6 is the only perpetual version available, if you do not want a subscription with Creative Cloud.
    But if you want a subscription based InDesign, be aware that you are needing OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) or OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) when CC-2015 will be published soon.
    Before they have updated your system (and your Mac?), they (whoever they are) had to know this.

  • Which version of Final Cut Pro will work with Mac Book 10.75?

    I can not put Final Cut Pro 9 on my Mac Book 10.75 (Lion).
    Which version of Final Cut Pro will run on Mac Book 10.75 (Lion).
    Thanks

    Ok, first, your questions's answers:
    FCS1 had a full version & an upgrade from any version of FCP. You only need the serial # handy when installing FCS upgrade.
    Now FCS2 has TWO upgrade versions: one was for FCS1 ($499), the other was from any version of FCP ($699).
    NOTE: Academic and Not-For-Resale (NFR) versions are not eligible for upgrade.
    http://gizmodo.com/252425/apple-rolls-out-final-cut-studio-2-first-impressions
    Here's something else to consider: with the march away from the PPC as a whole & your upgrade cost to FCS3 is $299, I would be very careful how much you spend for the older copies.
    If FCS1 or 2 is too hard to come by or cost what it did originally (or more), you may want to consider picking up a (used or new) Intel Mac with ATI or Nvidia graphics. even the newest mini might surpise you & get you by until you can afford something else.
    Good luck!

  • RDF - Which version was it created in?

    Is there any way of telling which version of report builder a particular RDF was created in?
    I am using 6i Reports and when I open a particular module, I get the 'REP-20129' error (Warning: Opening a report saved with a newer version of Report Builder. Functionality may be lost. Continue?).
    I can open the module in 9.0.4 and 10g but would like to know for sure which version was used.

    I get the same error, though I don't remember "upgrading". How can we get the version that the RDF file was generated by?

  • Hello. My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files. Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????? I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9

    My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files.Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????/ I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9
    Please help me!!!!

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Which version of InDesign will run on Vista as a free trial?

    My computer is windows Vista and O can't download the free trial of indesign to edit my documents. Is there another software I could use to edit.

    Moved to InDesign General Discussions.
    You can download an older version (CS6 out to run on Vista) fro one of the links at the bottom of this page: Download and Installation Help
    This will only work if the files were saved in CS6 or earlier ( and if earlier, it would be best to continue editing in the earlier version).

  • Which versions of FCP can import the .m2t files? Only 7?

    I understand FCP7 has a Sony HDV codec that will create .mov files via "Log and Transfer". Does anyone know if this is the only vers. of FCP that can do this?
    Message was edited by: mrkeeney

    Streamclip works good for my immediate purposes - but agreed, I would prefer to get a hold of an HDV deck and digitize myself next time.
    - or -
    Does anyone know if the Canon Vixia HV30 can shoot non-HDV footage to a regular miniDV tape? Just trying to see if my client can shoot future footage in regular def. to avoid this editing issue in the future. These videos are only winding up as little web clips.

  • How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?

    How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?
    I have several files that has been saved in a cc2014 version and I can't open them in my CS6 version of Indesign.
    I don t have access to anyone who have the cc 2014 version to convert the file.
    How can I do it from my cs6 version?
    THANKS!

    You can't do it from CS6.
    You have to export to IDML from InDesign CC2014 (or whatever the version it was created in) and then open the IDML in the earlier versoin of InDesign.
    All explained in the FAQ on the main forum page.

  • How can I download the extended Middle Eastern version of inDesign, called "Tasmeem"?

    Hello everyone,
    I would love it if someone tells me how can I download the extended ME version of inDesign, it is called "Tasmeem" and it is made for Arabic Calligraphy.
    thank you,
    Rayan.

    Peter, Tasmeem is not just the regular ME edition of InDesign. I think
    it is an InDesign extension published by Winsoft, the French company who
    originally developed the Middle Eastern version of InDesign before Adobe
    took it over.
    So the OP should probably check out the Winsoft website to see if it's
    still available, and for which versions of InDesign.

  • Can't open InDesign file in latest version of InDesign

    I've received InDesign files from a colleague, and when I open them it says it was created in a newer version of InDesign. We are both on Macs, CC subscription, and we are both up to date on CC (all apps up to date). Why can't I open his files??

    You need to download and install InDesign CC. You only CS6 installed.
    Easiest way to install InDesign CC is to go to creative.adobe.com and click on download center. Find InDesign CC and download from there.

  • Will Newer Versions of InDesign Still Open/Convert Mac PM 6.5 Files?

    All right, you've convinced me. I can see that holding on to old technology is not a viable long-term solution regarding PageMaker vs. InDesign. Eventually my old PowerMac Quad will fail and not be able to be repaired. At that point I would be forced into an Intel Mac and new software. I have a ton of PageMaker 6.0 and 6.5 files and will need to convert them to a new version of InDesign. I realize PM6 files will not work with InDesign, that I have to do the initial conversion via PM6.5.
    I've studied the PageMaker forum hoping to see if this specific question has been advanced and answered but saw none. If in fact it has been addressed please understand that at least I did try before writing this.
    My question is this: Will all versions of InDesign IE: CS1, CS2, CS3, CS4 or CS5 open PageMaker 6.5 files? Or will I have to go back to InDesign 2.0, copy/convert all the PM6.5 files and then begin the upgrade process? Surely (and hopefully) Adobe provides a direct upgrade path to the newest InDesign version once you have all PageMaker 6.5 files, rather than making you upgrade to each version individually. If Adobe provides a direct upgrade to the latest InDesign product will this policy be true throughout it's product line? I also have older versions of PhotoShop, Illustrator and Acrobat to be concerned with. (I know, I know... the last couple of sentences are not about PageMaker-sorry)
    If anyone can answer this, please let me know so I can plan accordingly. Begrudgingly, I will probably begin the transition to InDesign soon. Looks like I'm in for a long, long study period to get up-to-speed. Bye-bye PageMaker, bye-bye PowerMac, so sad to see you go.

    Chuck, I am not very qualified t
    o answer your questions, but will do my best within my limi
    tations (I am still using InDesign CS3, and I haven't had to work with PageMaker files for years).
    I did open many PM 6.5 files with ID2, and I have just opened a couple in ID3. These two last were rather simple jobs, and opened without a hitch. When I had to open PM files with ID2, I remember some opened flawlessly, most with relatively minor glitches, and some required a lot of work to look the same than the originals. And yes, each version of ID that I have used opens PM files directly; no need to pass from older to newer versions.
    Another thing I remember is that I also had a great number of PM files, which I still keep, but the ones that I have really had (needed) to convert are just a small fraction of them. Maybe you'll live a similar experience.
    As for the learning curve, it surely is there; but in my case, I found it not at all steep, quite the contrary: I was surprised to find how fast I got used to the "new version" of PageMaker. Maybe if I did the move now (to version CS5) I wouldn't find the transition so easy as to ID2. And I know of people who have not found it easy, but don't seem to reacall anyone complaining of how very difficult it was for him/her.
    As for upgrading several products at the same time, you'll have to think carefully what your future needs are really likely to be. You see, Adobe offers a very attractive price for "the whole lot", what they call the Creative Suite. I have however heard many complaints of people who feel they were "trapped" when they followed that route, because when it comes to upgrades, they can only upgrade the whole suite, not each product at a time. So you may be stuck with upgrading products you don't use and think will never use. Sort of what happened with Word and Excel, wich were the basis of MS Office: I understand that nowadays you cannot even buy each product separately, although I may be wrong.
    If I were you, most probably I would upgrade at this time each product separately, keeping in mind that perhaps later it could be better for me to buy the Suite. And regarding this route: Adobe still offers a very convenient upgrade price from PageMaker to InDesign (no choice but the latest version), but nobody knows for how long they will keep this offer. I was one of those who though that when V5 was launched, Adobe would stop selling PageMaker (something that in my opinion they should have done when InDesign appeared), and the upgrade offer would end, but apparently I was wrong on both counts. Just be warned that this particular upgrade offer may be gone any day...
    As for parting with such old and faithful friends, part of the words of a song my grandmother used to sing when I was a child came immediately back to my mind: Un viejo amor no se olvida ni se deja... an old love is never (really) forgotten or abandoned in my free translation, where I use the word "love" with the meaning of "loved person", and the optional "really" I added comes form the rest of the words of the song.
    Hope this helps.

  • InDesign trial for 10.8.6 Mac

    Hello.
    I would like to download the trial version of InDesign onto my 10.8.6 Mac. When I try to do this, adobe.com does not open the file, and instead tells me that my OSX does not meet the system requirements. Is this true? Thank you.

    Yes, thank you. It is 10.6.8. Thank you for the recommendation, though I imagine that updating to Mavericks would not change this.
    There is a post from May 2014 that helped several people on this forum download InDesign for 1068, but that link now transforms into the generic one. If anyone knows how else to begin the download, I would be grateful to know. Thank you.

  • Which version of the InDesign tools correlate to Viewer version 15?

    Hello,
    We are presently transitioning our digital production in house from an offsite art director.  Right now, our published application is version 15.  As we would like to be able to create content that can be published without issue, which version of the tool panels in InDesign should we be using?

    If you created a v15 viewer, you want the 1.5.0 (9-1-2011) Folio Producer tools. The archived tools are located here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/collection.jsp?collID=4&platform=Macintosh
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/collection.jsp?collID=4&platform=Windows
    For the Folio Builder panel and the Viewer Builder app, you should use the most current versions.

  • How do I open a pdf created in an earlier version of indesign?

    I created a bunch of .pdf's in an older version of Indesign (about 2 years ago) and the new version will not open them. Should I be using a different Adobe product to edit the .pdfs They are fill in the blank forms for use in the office.
    thx
    David

    The process it you create the forms in InDesign (CS6/CC), with enabled fields; export it to PDF interactive; you can then fine tune the PDF in Acrobat Pro, then you enable the form so that users can enter data on the form, save it, email it, or print it out. Once the form is enabled to allow users to be able to enter data, it can't be changed. You should always keep a copy of the original InDesign/ Acrobat form.

  • Which Language version of Indesign CC supports Thai language?

    Greetings,
    I'm trying to troubleshoot floating vowel characters in our selected font (Sukhumvit) in Indesign CC, and can't find which version I should be using to be able to mark my text as thai language. I can of course download any version, but right now am in the English/arabic version.
    The troubleshooting involves what can and can't be done in terms of tracking and kerning, and I'm helping to author guidelines for Thai usage for this font for global use.
    I'm running a Mac Pro (not the cool new one, yet) Mavericks 10.9.1 and using the most recent update for Indesign
    Please help?
    Thanks
    Mo

    I thought that Sukhumvit was a Mac system font, but I was of course completely wrong. Turns out it's an iOS system font, so I couldn't do any testing at all. I assume that you purchased the font directly from Cadson Demak, and I'd take my questions directly to them. It's probably a font build issue.
    If I were using a font where I knew the foundry wouldn't listen to my concerns, I might write a fistful of GREP styles that would remove tracking from the floating vowels. Or I might use Peter Kahrel's kerning table script. It's brilliant.
    But the most important bit is this: I would also write my style guide so that tracking wasn't indiscriminately applied to all writing systems. That strikes me as a no-brainer. Perhaps your default Latin-script font needs some brathing room at body text sizes in the language(s) you read, and the easiest way to get said breathing room in your workflow is to use tracking instead of a different font or careful kerning. but once again I'd rather use the kerning table script than just track everything willy-nilly.
    That being said, It's likely that I'll have to recommend that no tracking or kerning be used with this language. Our creatives won't like that at all, as they like to be able to control every facet.
    If your creatives can't read Thai then they should absolutely have that control taken away from them. I'm a localization wonk, not a "creative" so perhaps I'm judging a bit harshly, but if they want to "control every facet" then they'd best understand exactly how Thai is supposed to look - an understanding best achieved by literacy.
