      Morning all,

      Does anyone have any first-hand experience of older versions of InDesign running under Yosemite? I’ve got a client still using CS3, and I’m planning an upgrade…

      Thanks,
      Chris.

      I haven’t upgraded to Yoesmite, as it just came out and I usually wait a little bit.

      So far as CS3, it’s not supported.

      You may find this link handy. It shows what is and what is not compatible with Yosemite:

      If that does not bring you directly to it, here’s the main page:

      EDIT: The site recommends using the latest version of Safari or Chrome. I accessed it with Firefox, but it was a bit slow.

      Thanks for the roaringapps link, although that shows “no tick” for CS3 and 10.6.8, despite that combination actually working fine here.

      I was hoping for real-world first-hand experience from forum members, rather than the theoretical “not supported”, the standard response from the companies for OS versions later than a non-current software release.

      Cheers,
      Chris.

        I see your point, especially about CS3 and 10.6.8. In fact, CS3 works on 10.7. I don’t know how well, but it works.

        I’m not sure how many people here rush to a new operating system a day or two after it comes out, so I’m not sure how many responses you will get.

      There are reports that Yosemite won’t support CS5 – so it probably won’t support CS3.

      You’d have to contact Adobe support for confirmation.
