Downgrade InDesign document from CS5.5 to CS5

Written by Tobias Johansson on 12 January 2012.

Having problems with your customers still using CS5 and you on CS5.5? Then this will help you to be able to open the documents in CS5. First thing to do is to download the latest updates from Adobe.com for your InDesign application. You also have tell your customer to upgrade to the latest version of InDesign CS5 to support the latest fixes.

Steps to downgrade:

  1. Select File menu and Export your document in CS5.5 to InDesign Markup (IDML). Save the document.
  2. Send your IDML file to your customer.
  3. The customer opens the IDML file by using File > Open in InDesign CS5.
  4. InDesign creates a new document based on the IDML file.

You find the latest updates here or by using Update features in your InDesing application.
