The other day on the User to User forum there was a post from someone who had just switched from Pagemaker and was assured that InDesign in Creative Cloud would be able to open Pagemaker files. That person was getting nothing but errors and so I found a few old Pagemaker 7 PMD files and tried to open them and InDesign CC didn’t even recognize them as a supported file type. When I clicked on the drop down for All Readable files in the File >Open dialog I was a bit surprised to find this: Check it out. PageMaker is not there. Just to make sure I wasn’t crazy, I launched InDesign CS6 and tried with that and here’s what I saw: There it is, clear as day. PageMaker (6.0-7.0) Now, I realize this is not going to affect most users but for those of you that do have a need to open the occasional PageMaker file, consider this your warning. Hang on to CS6.

David, My response goes to the request above for a download of CS6 with no CC subscription. That I should have replied to that thread is now obvious. But I was in the same straits.

In my circumstance and for some reason, I kept getting an error message from CC that simply wouldn’t resolve quickly enough in time to get ‘real work done’. That damned error message rendered my CC subscription useless, the down side to cloud based systems. I had jobs waiting that couldn’t wait. It was an expedient to get CS6 NOW and get the job done. By nature I am loath to upgrade to anything unless forced to by clients, hence up to a few years ago I used PageMaker and OS 9 versions of Adobe programs running under Classic. Now, in the 21st Century either the clients have moved on, or went out of business and newer clients require updated versions of CS/CC documents. Now knowing that InDesign CC and CS6 will back save down to CS4 gives me some comfort.

Since I like to keep older versions of my programs on my computer, accumulated garbage files may have kept CC from working. This weekend I am going to bite the bullet and use Cloud Cleaner and start from scratch, relying on my Time Machine backup to bail me out of any mess I get into. CS6 trial appears to open my old PM 6.5 files with no problems. Since I wiped all my previous versions of ID I can’t tell if the IDML files will work, but as far as this version and any previous Adobe trial versions they have always been to my experience been full functioning.

Open the document in Pagemaker. Your version of Pagemaker should be the same as that used create the file, although in most cases you can use a later version of the software. Dsa815 Keygens. Good Turn Based Rpg Games For Ps3 on this page. If the file was originally created in Pagemaker versions 6 or 7, you can also open it using Adobe's InDesign software, which incorporated many of.

My situation was not the need to do the above but be able to open existing CS6 files with CS6 features when I couldn’t get my CC working due to a persistent error message. Despite the forums and troubleshooting guides from Adobe I could not for the life of me get rid of that damned error message, which prevented opening any CC app. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I had to get the job done and couldn’t be fooling about with systems conflicts. Here is the culprit: “Adobe has rolled out version 1.6.0.393 of Adobe Creative Cloud, bringing some new features and improved file transfer support. The biggest addition to Creative Cloud is the ability to install previous versions of Adobe’s design tools directly from the Creative Cloud installer, as explained in this Adobe help article.” It was CC installer that was conflicting with my older versions of Creative Suite and preventing access to Creative Cloud.

It would not budge no matter what I did. So now the ‘bug’ has been fixed and I guess I can install my older versions now without a hitch. Looks like a weekend chore for me.
