claude,
Have been advised that CS4 will not run efficiently on our machines...
Can you give us your G5 specs (CPU, RAM, free hard drive space, OS, etc.)? CS3 is long discontinued and becoming more difficult to find from legitimate sources. Maybe there is a quick (not terribly expensive) fix.
If you are running CS2, you will not be able to use CS4 InDesign files. And there is only an option for saving back one version by the sender, which is not even highly advised. Photoshop files generally should be OK, except for new files utilizing features not available in CS2. For Acrobat, you can download the free Adobe Reader if you are concerned about reading and viewing newly made PDFs. Illustrator may be problematic, but those files can be saved back to older versions by the sender, again with the caveat that you can lose newer features.
Please get back to us -- maybe there is a practical way to upgrade.
Neil
