    Down revving-cs3 to cs2--what are the pitfalls

    alan ruta Community Member
      Not my idea, but I'm being asked when a cs3 ID file comes in (to a shop I work at) to export and .inx file and open with cs2.

      If there is a feature from cs3 not included in cs2 will there be a warning dialogue?

      I just did a test exporting a relatively simple ID5 file and when I opened the file using ID4 one of the image frames had a stroke on it (when it should have been nil).

      It is not the .inx file because if I reopen it with ID5 the frame is nil.

          The stroke is because CS2 isn't fully patched to 4.0.5.

          Pitfalls? Plenty if you use any of the new CS3 features. These features
          include any of the new effects or text variables. They just won't be
          there. But it gets worse...if you used number or bullet lists they're
          likely to be badly mangled.

          Small annoyances include text reflowing due to the different text engines.

          I wrote a full article on this in the December January issue of InDesign
          Magazine.
