Working on a file in CC created in previous versions

I work at a printing company and we get files from hundreds of different clients. Our preflight person that starts every job want to open every job in CC and use CC regardless of what version it was created in. I think this is a bad practice and we should use the version the customer used. If it were created in CS5 on the PC it should be done there not in CC on the mac just because it can. I have seen to many case where things have just not flowed exactly the same when changing versions, platforms, or font types. What are your thoughts on this. If a customer sends a Mac job done using CS5 and Helvetica Type 1 fonts should we be doing it in CC with Helvetica open type fonts?

You are 100% correct.
It's probably OK to switch platforms if the fonts are all OT or Windows format TT if you can't work with the same OS, but switching versions is a disaster waiting to happen.

  • Arabic text appearing incorrectly in Photoshop CC when working with PSD created in previous version

    Hi. I'm working with PSD files that were originally created in Photoshop CS5 and they contain English text. Now I want to open them with Photoshop CC ME and add Arabic text.
    So I've gone to Preferences > Type > clicked the "Middle Eastern and South Asian" radio button
    Then from the main menu I selected Type  > Language Options > checked "Middle Eastern Features".
    I see the Middle Eastern features in the Paragraph and Character panels. However, if I create a text box and paste in Arabic text - the text is corrupt. The characters are not connected and their appearence is incorrect.
    I've double checked that I have right-to-left selected in the Paragraph panel and in the Character panel I have both "Standard Ligatures" and "Contextual Alternates" selected.
    When I open a new file in Photoshop CC and paste the same text into a newly created text box - it works fine. The Arabic appears perfect. The issue is only when working in a file that was previously created in an earlier version of Photoshop.
    If I move a text box from the new PSD created in CC to the other PSD created in CS5 - all is good. However this work-around is far from Ideal, since I need to work in the existing text boxes.
    Does anyone have an idea how to enable proper appearance of Arabic text in Photoshop CC in a file that was created in a previous version?
    Thanks!

  • My antivirus software dosen't work with firefox, How do I get a previous version?

    After installing the new Firefox update. It says that my antivirus scanner will not work. How do I get my previous version so I can use my program?

    Firefox didn't say that. Firefox only disables Firefox add-ons that aren't compatible with the new version of Firefox. It doesn't do anything with the actual AV program.
    Check with your AV vendor for an update for Firefox 6 compatibility.

  • Opening projects in CC 2014.2 created in previous version of premiere cc 2014

    Hello,
        I just upgraded premiere cc 2014 to premiere cc 2014.2. When I try to open my project created in the last version of cc 2014 I am instructed to convert the project created in the previous version of premiere so it can be opened in premiere cc 2014.2 When I convert the project it will open in cc 2014.2 but the sequences don't come with it. I need to have access to the original sequence so I don't have to edit the project again. Thanks for your help.

    Rather than opening directly, try importing the project via the Media Browser Window.
    Much more efficient as you'll have more options.

  • Help with working on Word files that were created in Framemaker and saved as PDF

    Please help. I was given a pdf from a vendor that they created in Framemaker. The pdf was 2+MB. I saved it as a Word doc so I could delete sections that I don't need for our folks but the file is saving at over 20MB (after I deleted a lot of pages from it). It is so large that I cannot even email it. I've tried to zip it and also convert it back to a pdf and in both cases the file only decreases by a few hundred KB while still leaving it over 20+MB. Any idea how I can work this file to take the sections I need without it creating such a large file size? Thank you. Brian

    The contractual requirements between the vendor and your company may be the key. The contract may or may not discuss whether the vendor's permission to modify the material includes an obligation to make the documents usable. "Usable" may be construed to mean providing original files. If the vendor is required to provide originals, they may or may not be required to provide them in a common format, like MS Word, rather than the proprietary FrameMaker format they use. Their providing a PDF may completely satisfy their obligation; your lawyers may be helpful here.

    I did ask them for the source file but they haven't been forthcoming with that. I may look into the evaluation copy of FM anyway but considering the price ($868 USD through our catalogue supplier) I doubt I would be able to get a licensed copy once the evaluation runs out. I do appreciate the suggestion though. Thank you. Brian

  • Why doesn't iPhoto '11 import my .JPG files from my camera when previous versions did?

    I bought a Mac mini with Lion and converted my iPhoto library from under use by Leopard.  However I just tried to download photos from my Kodak camera and get the error message that the file format is not supported.  They are only .JPG and .MOV files that have worked previously with iPhoto since I got the camera years ago.   Taking the SD card out and using a card reader results in the same error.  What gives with iPhoto '11?
    Any immediate help would be very much appreciated.  I was trying to upload pictures to a website for a Christmas gift, and wasn't expecting iPhoto to choke with my camera's files when it never has before.
    Thanks.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    I would note there is a long-standing issue between Kodaks and some versions of OS X - the workaround for that is to use a USB Card reader.

  • Latest version of Pages won't open documents created in previous version.

    Pages won't open documents created before update.

    I got the same issue, here is what it says now: "My document" can’t be opened."
    iOS Mavericks 10.9.2
    Pages 5.1
    What I did to get this issue:
    - My file was created a month ago in Pages 5.1
    - Today, I opened the file normally
    - I clicked "duplicate" in order to make a back up from the current version
    - The loading wheel kept running for a few minutes...Maybe my cache memory too busy?
    - so, I "forced to quit" Pages
    - I try to open my doc again in Pages 5.1, now it's a failure!!
    - Then i tried to open on another Macbook with Pages 5.1 = Failure
    - I updated Mavericks latest updates = Failure to open my doc
    - Try to open in pages 4.3 = It says: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document..."
    I need a fix asap, it's terribly important to get my document back

  • What folder are the cache files stored? In the previous version I could look at cached files but now no files are stored at that location.

    I want to be able to retreave cached files while running firefox as I could in the last version

    You can find out where the file is through '''about:cache'''
    but that would be a major hassle finding your files, you want to install
    :CacheViewer '''0.7b''' -- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cacheviewer/
    It is not marked as compatible but get the latest development version 0.7b, read the Developer Notes for the extension. It works. You may have to override compatibility.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility<br>'''extensions.checkCompatibility.5.0''' user set Boolean '''false'''

  • How do one add FCP Events and Projects created in previous versions

    Just upgraded to OS X Yosemite and FCP X 10.1.4. The files that I saved under a seperate folder (which I named as Unused Events/Projects) did not convert. How do I get those Event and Projects in new Macintosh HD's projects and events?

    TThe fiolders have to be in specific locations to be recognized by FCP. They have to be in Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects either at the root level of a secondary drive or in the Movies folder.

  • ITunes 7 not working!!!! How to reinstall previous version?

    After installed iTunes 7.01, when I click on "Filmati" the program crashes with a program error message, so I'm not able to copy all my moovies from my computer to iPod Video 30G. I tried to install them manually (without sync) and iTunes cancelled all moovies on iPod!

    The update to Yosemite 10.10.3 did not uninstall iPhoto, and it should still be in your Applications folder.
    Just drag iPhoto back to the Dock and double-click to open it.  You will see a prompt, that your iphoto Library has been migrated to Photos. Just confirm to "Open iPhoto".   That will work, if you already updated to iPhoto 9.6.1 before the update to MacOS X 10.10.3.  Only iPhoto 9.6.1 will run on MacOS X 10.10.3.
    If you not yet have 9.6.1, update as described here:
    Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
    The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.

  • After updating to Firefox 5.0, my email/webmail account isn't working. How can I revert to the previous version of Firefox?

    The email account that I am having trouble with is [email protected] I can't open any emails or perform any other function (purge, label, discard, view, etc) I can send an email though.

    This might have been helpful if it was in English and not in German. . . at least it looks like German.

  • HT5409 Working with video files with Mountain Lion is horrible!

    This functionality is horrible. You can't import or delete individual files as you could with previous versions of the OS. Does anyone know of a work around?

    I guess that's where lots of people have problems moving to a Mac way of doing things.
    You want to go to the file and do something with it.
    I open an application that is going to help me do something with the content of the file and get the content within the application. The file is just a wrapper around the thing I want to access.
    How do you pull 1 clip out with Quicktime?
    I might be misunderstanding how you use quicktime player (if you use it at all), but from that link you posted, you open the AVCHD package in the private folder and choose a clip to open. Once open, you can export it to various formats.  They are all displayed in a grid. iMovie is the same for importing a clip. I would hope that Premiere has the same import function. Now that we've discussed this more, I don't imagine that is what you were doing at all. You just linked from that article to create a question.
    Now, that still leaves deleting the unwanted clips from the card, which I don't have an answer for except that I always do that on the camera as I figure it knows what its prefered file format is. The last thing I want to do is mess up the card so that the camera can't read it.

  • Why can't I create a new version of a photo edited in an external application, without Aperture making a new copy of the newly created Tiff?

    When Aperture creates a new version from a RAW file, no new master file is created.  This makes total sense and I understand why.
    When I edit a photo in an external editor (Photoshop CS6) from within Aperture, Aperture creates a Tiff file to edit in Photoshop and saves it along with the RAW original once I have finished editing it in Photoshop.  I understand why this is necessary too.  So far so good.
    But if I then ask Aperture to create a new version from the newly created image edited via Photoshop, it creates another new Tiff.  I can't see why this is necessary.  Aperture should be able to apply further new Aperture edits to the newly created Tiff in the same way that it creates new versions from a RAW file without duplicating the master - by remembering any new 'recipe' changes applied to the Tiff.  It only needs to remember the edits made as the Tiff already now exists.
    Can I stop it creating repeat Tiff files each time I create a new version from the Photoshoped photos?
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Hello Kirby,
    I clicked on the 'Show in Finder' and it revealed a new file called IMG_0961 (1) which goes with the original IMG_0961.CR2 and the edited new tiff created for Photoshop which was called IMG_0961.tiff
    I noticed also that a separate version I had previously created using Canon's DPP stand alone software and titled by me IMG_0961 (DPP).TIF (same thing but from a different original) does not form a new master file when I create a new version of that one.  I've tried this with a few images but when the original is edited in Photoshop via Aperture a second version of the Tiff is created for the 1st version of the image when I create a new version fo it.

  • CS6 is not opening multipage files from previous versions

    Good day, we have recently updated to the Creative Suite CS6. One of the users are unable to open multipage files that was designed in previous versions of Indesign. (we have 3 users and only 1 is having this problem. )  It is not giving a specific error code.

    OK, it looks like it is not a user issue, so it's most likely a software conflict or a corrupt install.
    Do you have any non-Adobe plugins installed? Does it work if you run MSConfig and turn off all non-essential startup programs and services, including anti-virus, and browser plugins?
