Opening older files in the new version

Hi-

I have recently updated from CS3 to creative cloud and now I can't use any of my old files or work of them when I open them. The files are described and grouped. Is there a work around? I hate to have to redo the 10 years of work. I'm self-taught Illustrator free user so I am not advanced. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

This isn't normal behavior. Although there has been changes, each portion of an old file is always editable. The text stream can resemble each other not because of changes in the text engine, but it should be only a simple text object.

So:

What types of files were? Files DO? EPS? PDF?

Where you store files? Where do you open them?

Can you show a screenshot of a typical file that includes the open layer panel?

  • How to save a file to the new version of muse to use it in an older version of muse

    I started working on a project at home with a 30 day trial of the last Muse, I was going to continue to work at the school, and I can't open it. So, how can I save the file to open it in a previous version?

    Hi Luisis,.

    Cannot open a file that is saved in the latest version of Muse in no previous Muse and now there no option available in Muse as you can save the file so that it opens in the previous version.

    However, I ask you to do this post as a request for feature ideas for features in Adobe Muse

  • Update all files in the new version of Framemaker book

    I inherited a Frame 8 book with many files, is it possible to update all the files in frame 11 in just a few steps? Could this be in ExtendScript?

    1 open the book file.

    2. button Shift and then select file > open all files in book

    3. treat warnings/errors that come up to the top (you can turn off reminders on the opening of an older version)

    4. to emphasize in the book file.

    5 switch speeds, and then select file > save all the files in the book (this will save in FM11 format)

    6. move speed, and then select file > close all files in the book.

    7. save the book file (it must be converted for FM11).

    Fact.

  • Why can't I open a file in the recent version of muse cc?

    I get this error when you try to open a file in Muse. It opens on an earlier version, but with errors. Any ideas?

    Muse-error.png

    Fixed the file sent through SendNow to your e-mail address. If you have not already received, you should soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    There is a composition on one of the pages widget that literally thought it was 400 000 + maximum pixels. I fixed that. Everything you remember to interact with this composition can be useful to allow us to determine how this happened.

  • Problems to open PDF files after the upgrade of the file server for 2012 R2

    Hello

    This weekend we have improved our main Windows 2003 to 2012 R2 file server.

    Since the upgrade, users (including myself) cannot open a PDF of the file server.  If I double click on a PDF file, it opens as usual, but if I double click a different PDF, the acrobat reader flashes (in the Task Manager I can see another instance AcroRd32.exe starts and stops) but the second document does not open.

    If I close the first document and then try and open the other, and then it opens without any problem.

    This only affected the opening of files on the new file server, opening several files on a local disk is very good.

    If I disable 'enable protected mode at startup' then I can open several documents of the file server.  I would prefer not to have to do.

    Users are using Acrobat Reader 11.0.10 on 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 Remote Desktop.

    Does anyone have any ideas, it may be the cause?  And does anyone have one solution other than to disable the protected mode?

    Thank you

  • Why not open the files old Indesign with the new versions of programs?

    A member of my team has updated to the new version of Indesign 2015 and now she cannot open one of our old files.

    I'm too afraid to update my Indesign now or I won't be able to open anything either!

    Why doesn't the new version let you open the old files?

    What can we do for them, we often open old files use & update for new catalogues/flyer/projects.

    You should be able to open InDesign CC 2014 files in version 9.3.

    Two simple conditions must be met to do this:

    (a) you must be connected to the application using your Adobe ID

    (b) you must be connected to the internet.

    Provided that the two conditions above are met, when you try to open a document in version higher in a lower version (from CS6), you should be able to see a dialog box asking if you want the document to be converted to a compatible version.

    I paste a snapshot of the description on this feature, called "Simple Save return" here:

  • the old version allowed me to save all open tabs by giving it a name, i.e. on 29 April, but I can't find it in the new version. Is there something like this? If so, I really want to come back

    Tonight, for example, I have several tabs open that I would close but reopen tomorrow.

    I would like to save them all as '30 April' in my favorites... the 0ld version allowed me to do, but I can't find it in the new version.

    The only way I don't seem to lose these tabs open, I work with is making "Contol + delete", but I know that this should not be done all the time...

    There must be a better way, but if it does not exist, I would be able to come back and work with the old version?

    Some menu entries are hidden by default and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu.

    You can see the difference if you use Alt + F or Alt + B to open the menu 'File' and 'Favorites' and compare them to what see you if you use the mouse to open the menu after completing the bar menus visible by pressing Alt, or by pressing F10.

    • "To bookmark all tabs" (Shift + Ctrl + D) is no longer present in the menu bookmarks unless you open the bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
    • 'Bookmark this Page' is accessible through the context menu of the browser page.
    • "To bookmark all tabs" are available through the context menu of a tab on the tab bar.

  • the .xml file will not hold the new version I am writing on the 'AIR for iOS settings' window on Flash cc 2015

    Hello

    I need to download a new version of my app on iOS, but the .xml file will not hold the new version I am writing on the 'AIR for iOS settings' window on Flash cc 2015. It keeps appearing as:

    <? XML version = "1.0".

    also when I try to download the new .ipa on iTunes Connect with the Application Loader, I get this message:

    "" "ERROR-ITMS-4238:"redundant binary Upload. " «"" "" There is already a binary download with release ' 1.0.0' train ' 1.0.0 ' "at SoftwareAssets/PreReleaseSoftwareAsset»»»

    The problem is not of Application Loader or iTunes Connect as when I open again the .fla and check the window 'AIR for iOS parameters' he continues to display the 1.0 version over and over again. If Flash isn't that save the .xml file.

    And it happens with all my other apps Android or iOS, old and new versions, all appear as <? XML version is "1.0" on the .xml file.

    Is anyone know how can I solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    There are two different values, the build number and version number. If you use a test flight, you can submit an update without obtaining a review by increasing the build number. If you are submitting an update to an application in iTunesConnect, you must increment the version number.

  • The lost files after the update to the new version

    I've updated to the new version this morning and when I open the app all my locally (on iPad) pdf files have disappeared. A fair bit of annotation and highlighting the work seems to have down the drain!

    That's happened? Can I get back them?

    I did not remove the old app before update, only made a classic update of the AppStore.

    Hello

    Here is the solution for iOS.

    To view your files and local files

    1. Go to the House.
    2. Press the text label Blue at the center of the top bar.
    3. Select 'Local' (for files that are stored locally on your iPad/iPhone).

    You can also select 'Cloud of Document' (for files stored on the Document, formerly called Acrobat.com cloud) and others.

    Please let us know if it works for you.  Thank you.
