Does anyone here have Indesign CS3? I need a CS3 file saved as an IDX, so I can open it in CS2, and the only other copy here in the building is CS5, and we have none of the steps in between, as I have never upgraded and she just got it!

Can the person with CS5 open the CS3 file and then re-save it as CS2 (or something else compatible)?

I am being sorely tested in my iPhone loyalty by the EVO. I handled a friend's evo yesterday.

Not according to this:

What you have to do is open in CS5, and save it as an IDML file, which cannot be opened by CS3 or CS2. So it has to be opened in 5, saved in IDML, then opened in 4, saved in IDX, and then (apparently) opened in 3 and saved in 2. Of course, if we had 3 available to us, I would not have this problem.

Oh- Barring that, does anyone know if I use the trial version of Adobe Creative Suite 5 if I will be able to send something to a printer. It looks like I have 30 days to use the thing, and I just need to open this template!

Dear jebus, that's insane.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

If that does not work, Scribus is free software that is intended as a replacement for DTP including indesign. From your point of view the advantange is that it can open indesign files and save them to earlier formats. The bad thing about Scribus is that a lot of people describe it as "user hostile".

I've never tried it, but if you want to give it a go, I'll you can at least figure it out enough to open a file and then save it to another format. And I'll bet someone on this board can give support. Hmm I'm assuming here that it has been updated enough to be able to open files from the version you are having trouble opening. Anyway, less a rec than an option [link]
