Since InDesign was created, there has not been any backward compatibility with InDesign documents.

If you created a document using Adobe CC 2024 you would not be able to open that document using any previous version for example, Adobe 2022 or CS6

This can be an issue if you are working with someone who has an older version of InDesign.

In this video, I’ll be showing you how to create backwards-compatible files in InDesign easily.

Let's Get Into It!
