Saving to lower version of InDesign from CS

[doodaad]

Hi,
I am having problems saving from InDesign CS to InDesign 2.0. I export the CS file as an InDesign Interchange file, however, when I try opening it in InDesign 2.0 it does not.

I was reading in Adobe online that I need a special scripting plug-in and something else but could not find it. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Yeah, the exchange thing doesn't seem to work at all. I don't know of any plugin available to make that happen. You can search for Indesign plugins at adobe studio or at indesign.pluginsworld.com. I never saw one for saving to 2, but it could exist.

Unless there's a physical reason for saving to 2, the 170 dollar upgrade is a very worthtwhile investment.

Check out the 'InDesign CS ReadMe.pdf' file that is installed in your InDesign program folder.

3. ADDITIONAL NOTES

User guide and help documentation errata

The InDesign CS user guide and help documentation includes information on using the InDesign Interchange format export option to save documents for use with InDesign 2.0. This information should be disregarded, as this export option does not support InDesign 2.0 compatibility. Opening InDesign CS documents is not supported in InDesign 2.0.

Adobe dropped the ball on maintaining its documentation. As of today, no plugin exists that allows you to convert to a lesser version of InDesign. No version of InDesign has ever been able to save down (until maybe the next release ).
