Help request - calling all friendly users of InDesign CS6 or earlier

[antodian]

Hello all,

I have 17 old PageMaker v6.5 files (with .p65 extension) which I need to convert to the latest InDesign CC format. Unfortunately, InDesign CC cannot read them. Having checked the forums, I see that the last version of InDesign that can successfully read and convert .p65 files is CS6. I do not have an old Mac to do this so I am looking for a kind person who still has CS6 (or earlier) installed on their Mac to convert them for me in return for an online donation to their chosen charity. All the files are small (<500KB each) so easy to send via email. Any helpers out there?

Many thanks in advance!

Anthony

You can do it by yourself. Your CC subscription allow to you installing of CS6.

But I think the problem is that CS6 doesn't run, or doesn't reliably run if you have the newest macOS or Windows operating systems because it's too old.

I have the latest Win 10 and CS6 is work on it. There is no any problem. InDesign CS5/4/3/2 can be installed (non-official too) on Win 10 and will be works.

What with OSX — I don't know.

@antodian

If you have some new OSX and installation of CS6 can't be done than do some dropbox/yadisk download and show here the link. Somebody who free now will convert for you.

Hi George,

Thanks. As per your suggestion, here is a Dropbox link to the files that need to be converted:

If you or someone else running CS6 (or earlier) could convert them for me, that would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks again.

I have CS6 running on the latest OSX with no problems. I think you do have to install the legacy Java 6 in order to get CS6 to run on High Sierra:
