Opening Adobe InDesign Documents Created by CS3 in CS2
How To, graphic design, indesign 1 Comment »As I opened my Adobe InDesign CS3 file from work on my CS2 version at home, it dawned on me that others may not know about this trick. When Adobe InDesign CS3 saves a file, it embeds workspace data not available in previous versions of InDesign. This can be frustrating if anyone has an earlier version away from the office or a co-worker no using the same version.
The work around: save it as an InDesign Interchange file (.inx). This command can be found at File >> Export as seen in this image.
Note: I am running Adobe InDesign CS2 update 4.05
If you email it to yourself put it in a zip file first. Email servers in my experience will strip the file thinking it is a virus, or corrupt the file in transit.
Another use for InDesign Interchange is, if your file is glitchy and crashing your computer export it and re open it. It should reassemble your file and make it usable again.
