It's been mentioned here somewhere... but has anyone received a 5.5? And not been able to open it?

David · May 20, 2011, 07:12:40 AM

haven't received one yet, but I have the 5.5 Master collection so it's not an issue. If anyone need a conversion (back save), let me know.

Good to know.

Just wondering if anyone has jumped into Creative Suite 5.5 yet and how its going. :undecided:

David · May 27, 2011, 07:23:39 AM

got it (Master Collection), and use it on occasion. No problems ... yet.

anything specific you need to know?

in case you haven't noticed, we are all 12 years old here and tend to have a bit of fun.

Don't scare her away so quickly! A female member is a rare thing around these parts.

There may be a sober prepresser, you know. Somewhere...

I don't know where... :laugh:

David · May 27, 2011, 09:23:05 AM

It's on my back patio. :embarrassed:

Yeah, they're more nails in the printing coffin.

Well thanks, we try to stock only the best smileys. :laugh:

I haven't been blessed with the 5.5 update but I'm sure you will get some feedback from others.

I had a Preview copy (I am an Adobe Ambassador) of the 5.5 master collection. It has some good stuff, but not enough for me to want to go out and buy it. I already have CS5, so for me there wasn't too much more than what I already have. Some of the apps didn't get upgrades, they were just re-released with a 5.1 version ID.

What suite do you have Vicky?
oh, and Welcome to the forums.

I have no plans to update to 5.5, I will wait to 6.0.

But here is what I know (or have read). No, you can not open a 5.5 file in 5.0. You have to export the file to a .idml and then open in 5.0. But there can be text reflow issues.
As for the new features, they are great if you are into creating a interactive digital publication for iPads. But don't get me started on Adobe Digital Publishing Suite.

IMO, its not worth upgrading, save your money for 6.0.
