Anyone know if Adobe CS4 Design Premium will work with Lion?

I do not see why it should not work. CS3 works without problems under SL, so we can expect that CS4 works under Lion. However, make sure that you do not use incompatible third party plugins!
when sl came out, cs3 was having many issues with it such as loading files and crashing.
cs5 is a much more recent package, and cs4 isn't really supported anymore. that's the main reason i'm asking.
Good question. On my system running Snow Leopard, while CS4 loads, it indicates that it is running under Rosetta, however I also understand that Lion will be dropping support for Rosetta - so I'm wondering as well.
CS4 is most definitely not Rosetta here:
Code:
$ file /Applications/Adobe\ Photoshop\ CS4/Adobe\ Photoshop\ CS4.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ Photoshop\ CS4
/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Adobe Photoshop CS4.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Photoshop CS4: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Adobe Photoshop CS4.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Photoshop CS4 (for architecture ppc): Mach-O executable ppc
/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Adobe Photoshop CS4.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Photoshop CS4 (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386
Here's an update on my initial question: I've installed CS4 just now, and the setup went well. I then ran Illustrator, and it asked me to install a Java update. The download was 65megs, after which the application was able to run. I then installed the updates, and tried briefly using InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. They worked without crashing or presenting any problems.
It could be a printer driver issue. I tried printing, and everything worked fine.

I, too, am having problems with InDesign CS4 and Illustrator CS4 crashing when printing. I don't even get to the print dialog box. When I select "Print" I get the dreaded spinning rainbow ball, then after a few moments, the program crashes. I doubt this is a printer problem because Photoshop CS4, Photoshop Elements 8 and Acrobat Pro 9 print fine. I did update to Java For Mac OS X 10.7 after installing Lion as suggested in Adobe's documentation on known issues with Lion.
I can certainly export to PDF and print from there in a pinch, but I really need some of the functions InDesign offers, such as the "Print Booklet" feature. I'm hoping I'll find someone through these forums who has experienced and solved this issue.
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks!

I just got this from Adobe Forum by Alsolve and it works.
remove adobe PDF PPD from the following folders:
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_TW.lproj,
Thanks so much Alsolve.

I'm running half and half as far as Adobe stuff goes.... I upgraded PS to CS5, but still have InDesign and Dreamweaver CS4, oh and Lightroom 3. Everything I have works fine here with Lion. No issues whatsoever... at least for me!
Hope someone can help
Now with everything going to the icloud, I guess I HAVE to upgrade to Lion. I do not have an extra $1000 to spend on the CS5 upgrade (especially with CS4 is working just fine for me) but I am afraid if I upgrade to Lion I will have to upgrade to CS5. Does anyone know if there is anything special I need to make sure I do before the upgrade? When I went to Adobe's site it said to make sure I have Java Runtime installed (JRE) which I do. Is there anything else I should do before I proceed with the upgrade?
Most of my other apps are not important but I HAVE to have CS4 since I am a freelance Graphic artist.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Are there any major GOTCHAs I need to be aware of after the upgrade?
I do have a current TimeMachine back up, but I have never had to use it so I am a little afraid to rely on it.
