Opening ID CS4 CS5 files. Impossible to select certain objects. ?

Just upgraded to CS4 to 5.5.

Opening files CS4 for an annual project.

Problem is that some objects cannot be selected / changed / deleted etc.

See picture attached.

Here, I open the CS4 file in 5.5, Ctrl + A to selct than anything and only 4 of the 8 items can be selected. It's as if others aren't still there. Everything is on the artboard, not on locked layers, master pages or anywhere else. The Logo and green gradient, text textbox with table box cannot be selected.

Any ideas?

Thank you, Angus

Hello

Are you sure you checked all your master pages?

And then, just to be sure, use alt-ctrl-L to unlock everything on the spread.

  • Problems to open the InDesign CS4 CS5 files

    We have just upgraded to CS5 to enjoy the track changes feature and immediately ran into problems:

    • at the opening of the CS4 CS5 files, we noticed that formulas, created using styles charater, do not display correctly.  For example x = y / z, which would have the x and = signs fell, pointed out the y and the z on the following line, something like this (although much prettier that I can reproduce here):

    x = y

    z

    However, CS5, all in the formula gyphs overlap each other

    • We tried to load character of our model of document styles.  However, who did most of the content to disappear!
    • We tried to convert our CS5 model, then by loading character of our model of document styles.  However, which also caused most of the content to disappear!

    Someone got clues?

    If you open the CS4 files directly in CS5, try to export files CS4 IDML and open the IDML CS5 files. It's worth a try if you have not already found that it does not help.

  • Opening project CS4 CS5

    Hi guys

    I'm opening a CS4 CS5 project.

    At the opening, I get a message saying that it was created in an earlier version of Pr and must be converted. I click OK and get a screen showing all project files and clips with options to "jump" or "ignore all". I tried to open the folders but nothing is there, and he said: 'no items matching your search. I tried to type the project name in the "File name" field the same thing. I click on a clip, but that doesn't matter either, so I click "Ignore all", and when the project opens all the clips have been replaced by an image saying "media offline". According to me, if I right click on each clip I can re-edit but that would take time as there are 75 in the project. Any ideas how I can get this project to work on?

    Kind regards

    Graham

    When you open a project CS4 CS5, the conversion will result in a new file name with _1 appended to the name. At the opening of this project, you will need to show PR where the files he heads in the right directory. Once you have done for the first file, it will automatically find the other files in this directory. Since you have now put all files in jumping, I suggest you delete this CS5 project and import back to CS4 and taking little time to direct PR to the appropriate support.

  • Open Bridge CS4 .ico files

    Hey all,.

    I just did reformat my hard drive. After you have reinstalled my Adobe CS4 software, I can't open the bridge .ico files - before reformatting the hard drive, I COULD open the bridge .ico files. I can open files .ico directly from Photoshop (I have the telegraphics.com / to the .ico plugin installed in Photoshop to open and save .ico files).

    If I right click on a .ico in Bridge file and select 'Open with' the only option is: COM Surrogate 6.1 (default).

    Looking at the preferences > file types, .ico file type Associations is not available in the file type list. Anyone know what setting or preference I need to change to open the .ico files in Bridge?

    Appreciate your help,

    Brian

    Never mind... I closed the bridge by selecting file > exit (instead of click close at the top right of the program window) and after the reboot, I am able to open the .ico files.

    Best practices: open in CS4, exporting to idml, that open in CS5.

    (Option 2 (not recommended, should not be necessary), export to inx CS4.)

    I would be surprised if this doesn't fix it for you, you should not receive the issues that you, but it is a very good way around most of the problems like this.  Could be a plugin or something that you use?

  • Impossible to select an object in IDCS6

    I reformat an existing European brochure for the A4 to letter-size. Fine, with one exception.

    I have a problem, select an object (as if it was locked, which it is quite possible). Everything in this document is in a single layer. I am able to select and change all the other elements, native or placed, but I can't seem to get this item to select. I don't see any way to unlock it, but I'm probably missing something. When I hide the layer in the layers palette, everything goes white, then I know it's on that layer.

    I'm on Mac, OS x 10.6.8 IDCS6. The original file has been created using ID too (not sure which version).

    Thanks for any help.

    Lou

    Thank you, Bob.

    I thought about it. She set on a Master Page... forgot to check... Duh! All's well that ends well.

  • In Illustrator CS5, how can I select only objects * joint * by an area of selection?

    ... rather that all objects that intersect with it?  CorelDraw x 4, for example, the default value for the Pick (the primary selection tool) tool must choose all objects in the selected area.  This is extremely useful when working with vector graphics produced in other programs (e.g. Matlab) that do not already have their structured in layers of vector objects.

    I apologize if this question has been asked before, or is trivial - I'm relatively new to Illustrator.

    Thanks for any help.

    You can't do it natively, I wrote a script to work around the problem, repeat, a workaround solution, see post # 11

    I opened a cs4 CS5 file. She said that it would not replace the existing file (or something like that). I've made a few changes (deletion of the previous sequence) and I forgot to save as. When I worked and clicked on save, I wrote too much the old file. I'm hoping to find the version cs4 file.

    My files are not on the C: and I have no backup.

    Someone good new for me on a folder that I can find the previous version in? I'm hoping against hope.

    Thank you

    Back in CS4, look for the last automatic backup file in this folder. Note: the AutoSave files are FIFO, so check the date and time and do NOT rely on 001-005 designations.

    Good luck and I hope that one of those is narrow.

  • CS4 CS5 document: text is yellow walk

    Hello

    When you open a CS4 CS5 document, text is now walk yellow. Strangely, almost always just the titles and not all the words or even letters.

    Can someone tell me what this means and what parameters are responsible for this?

    Thank you!

    It is quite 'normal', as it was in CS4, CS3 and perhaps earlier. It of just a viewing preference, so don't panic and just turn it off if it bothers you.
