Thanks, the teams we work with are pretty clued up and have adopted InDesign. We know the capabilities of Adobe Illustrator. It was InDesign I was asking for technical help with to speed up the process.

Yes Uwe, I searched these forums and checked with www.axaio.com who write various scripts. I found this from 2009... regards - Pete

Thanks all, I now understand this is not possible and was not a software error or training issue. I am also informed it is not possible to script or automate the translation of 'Layers' between InDesign and Illustrator/AfterEffects.

Hi IDEAS-TRAINING, I strongly disagree. In the workplace where assets are required for print, web and video, InDesign is the best layout software. It is particularly so because of the way Items in the linked in the different packages. I have teams from all over who work in Illustrator and photoshop but deliver to our video company as InDesign files. I now understand that the Layer information is sadly discarded. I am surprised that it is not possible to keep this metadata. regards . - Pete

I will check again. When I looked it all seemed very experimental. I will also put in a feature request. Especially now there are major problems using PNG files with the latest Adobe Creative Suite thanks for looking into this

The designers refuse to work in Illustrator they say InDesign is much better! We publish to Web, Print and Video that is is the power of InDesign.

I used PDF (interactive) export as that has an option for Layers The acrobat 8/9 doesn't seem to have a Layers option: When you open this PDF in Illustrator you get 1 unnamed Layer with all the items in a Clip Group. All the items in the group are correct in terms of order, mode, font etc. thanks - Pete

sorry should have annotated my screen grabs correctly. These are the InDesign Layers: then I export like this: then I open in Illustrator and get one Layer! and a pile of work to do... I need to rebuild structure like the designer intended, like this: It seems logical. Especially, as I say InDesign is used more and more to create designs.

Hi Bob, That is an strange response! Many designers use InDesign to create assets for video and animation. The designers collate items in layers to organise their pages. The problem is InDesign does not save these Layers correctly in the Adobe protocol. This causes extra work reconstructing the layers in other Adobe software. As less assets are made in Illustrator and more and more in InDesign for multiple purposes this has become a real issue.

When saving a single page document from InDesign as a PDF all layer information is lost. All the layers exist but are jumbled up in one layer and unnamed in a clip group. Why is this? I then have to rebuild thus: I then have to rebuild the layer sequence order in Illustrator for subsequent delivery to AfterEffects and Premiere. It is important to do this as the latest updates of Premiere Pro, After Effects and Media Encoder don't support PNG files

We are forced to use PNGs in the workflow from InDesign and Character Animator. Also Mac screen grabs are PNG by default. Converting all these is a real chore. Adobe should really look at how these applications work with AfterEffects and Premiere before they abandon support for PNG. Strangely this is creating a good reason to set up a retro platform division just to open and work on old projects!

you have to export an XML file from the new software before reverting software or sharing with a user with previous edition

I keep a number of old machines to allow access to legacy projects; some dating back to Media100 and FCP 7 days! I like to have some machines with the latest versions. I usually wait before updating software, but I now get monthly alerts saying 'update now!' 'improves stability!' etc. Maybe Adobe could use the same alert system to give us bespoke warning of compatibility issues.

I was recently prompted with a notification to update my adobe apps in my Creative Cloud. I went to my Creative Cloud menu bar and saw Premiere Pro, AfterEffects, Media Encoder and Character Animator needed updating; I pressed update. Sadly, I along with hundreds of other users found there were serious bugs in these updates which caused the software not to open on older machines, or not perform basic functions like rendering png files. Whilst some users found ways to change their workflow by using third party image converters and preparing assets to avoid the bugs in the software, many of us have been forced to re-install previous versions of Premiere Pro, AfterEffects, Media Encoder and Character Animator to continue working. I now have a dilemma, I have a 5 year old Mac running the latest operating system High Sierra 10.13.4 but I am paying for Adobe Creative Cloud software which I can not update to the latest versions. I need the latest versions to compete and integrate with other business users. I thus have a system with some old, some new Adobe software. I really don't feel confident that the complex different packages are communicating correctly with each other. My workflow relies on assets linking between packages. How can I know if the fonts / links are up to date? All my codecs and rendering settings were lost when I updated and then had to downgrade my software. Can you tell me when and if I will be able to operate with a full creative suite of latest Adobe software? Will I need to purchase a new computer? Will I have to continue with some old software to keep working? Peter Jones Senior Editor

Hi Louisa, You have to reinstall the older suite of programmes: AfterEffects Premiere Pro and Media Encoder use the arrows in the CC updater to find the 'other versions' That's the only way to get a workflow again. It has been a complete nightmare... my clients are furious with me. Forums say Adobe are working on a fix. . .

This may be showing up more on Mac users... Traditionally PC users tend to render assets as TIFFs whereas Mac users generate PNGs form screen shots and Character Animator.

Thanks Rameez, As you know the forums have been ablaze due to the problems with your latest updates to Premiere Pro, After Effects and Media Composer. The issues all seem to be inter-related. After a whole work day lost I reverted these programmes to their respective previous releases which function correctly. I have advised others do the same in responses on the forums. The fall-out of this software glitch will last for a number of weeks and we have had call in IT to rethink workflow and future software. In future it would be a really polite thing to advise owners when we get our monthly billing subscription notification what updates are available and more importantly wether the hardware/operating system configuration can support the update. We can then either avoid the update or invest in our systems ready for the update. I am sure you can easily calculate the users who's systems are nearing the end of lifecycle. This is just a basic feature of how subscription based software should work. So. less marketing junk promotion and more concentration on the core software. - Pete

Best to revert to previous Premiere Pro AfterEffects and Media Encoder and wait for Adobe to release corrected update for new machines or avoid updates on older hardware.

Thanks Matt for testing on variety of Macs. That is good to know it is not just my machine type. For shared workflow I have to have all my machines running the same edition of the software. I reloaded the older versions of Media Encoder, Premiere Pro and AfterEffects to keep my business in action. Adobe could send update advise notifications when our subscription is paid each month. That would know the history of our machines so we could avoid this sort of 'car-crash'.

Yes you have to reinstall previous version then you can get back to work. I think we should ask Adobe to give us a notification based on our billing history as to the suitability of updates.

I agree with Mike, some warning would have saved me a lot of money today. We have reinstalled old versions of After Effects, Premiere and Media Encoder on all our machines. We have 10 years of H264 legacy projects we need to be able to access. Also a lot of stock footage we buy from Getty and Shutterstock is H264 and PNG. Maybe we will look at upgrading our Macs so that we can run the latest Adobe software updates A nightmare day for us all.

Hi CC, This morning I was prompted to update my Creative Cloud Apps on my Late 2012 Mac Mini i7 High Sierra 10.13.4 Sadly, Premiere Pro and Media Composer will no longer launch. Has anyone seen any warnings about this behaviour? - Pete
