Mac Users Rejoice: Adobe Says InDesign CS4 Works Fine in Snow Leopard
Will InDesign work with Snow Leopard? If you use CS4, Adobe says "yes." But older versions are an unknown quantity.
Adobe today released a FAQ that noted:
Q: Are AdobeĀ® Creative SuiteĀ® 4 products and components compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6)?
A: Yes. Working closely with Apple, Adobe has tested and determined that our Adobe Creative Suite 4 products and components are compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
So that’s darn good news… if you’re using CS4.
Unfortunately, they make no such claim for CS3 or earlier versions of their products. Moreover, they also make it clear that earlier versions will not be patched so that they do work. The message is clear: If you want to leap into the future with Apple, you may also need to leap into the current version of the Creative Suite.
That said, it’s possible that CS3 might work just fine. I hope so, as I know there are a lot of people who can’t upgrade yet. When you get your copy of Snow Leopard, let us know (below) how it goes!
