    Default Adobe CS versions

    Is it still a good idea to open CS apps like InDesign and Illustrator in the original version that they were created in or is it better to open in the latest version on my computer?

    I have had things change when opening up an InDesign CS2 file using InDesign CS3, so I try to use the version that the file was created in.

    It is unpractical, though I would recommend if you open in a different version than a document is made to have it proofed just in case.

    InDesign has had some changes in how text is inset in non-rectangular frames (including rectangles with corneroptions other than normal), otherwise it is usually less problematic moving to a newer version than to move to an older version.

    For InDesign, we got an app off the web called InDesignProxy. You drag the file onto it and it opens the correct version of InDesign except if it is CS5.

    If I still have the apps on my workstation, why is it impractical?

    A recent version of FlightCheck will tell you that and a whole lot more than you ever wanted to know about the file.

    I use SneakPeek Pro - here is a link to that product - they have a way to look at InDesign and Adobe Illustrator native files on the iPhone and iPod Touch and iPad too !

    Well it's certainly more economical than my suggestion.

    Had a large format printer we outsource to downsave my Illy CS5 File to Illy4 and a 5th color in a logo converted to process on one file but not on a second file using the same logo.

    I like the latest and greatest CS5 for everything.
