InDesign document with file extension .M ?

I just received some inDesign collected art that I need to prepare for a printer. However, the document does not contain the usual indesign extension .indd -- instead it is filename.M I cannot open this. I know it was created in inDesign because the collected files are the usual "fonts' and "links" plus the Instructions.txt identifies it as having been created in inDesign. Can somebody please tell me what this .M extension is and how I can open the file?I'm on deadline! Thanks.

For anyone else who is watching, the OP sent me the document in question, and I've run it through some utilities I have to determine what it is.
I was able to view it as text, and from the first line it appears to be some sort of Apple print ticket: DOCUMENT DOCUMENT om.apple.print.ticket.creator</key>, but I don't know anything more than that.

Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Forgive my ignorance but I have never hear of iTunes Document Manager Pro. If you mean Document Manager Pro, i was able to find that. Back to your problem, have you tried opening one of those files in the iOS iWorks apps? Form the quick read that I did about this, .cwk files can be opened by Pages, Numbers or Keynote, depending on what type of document that it is and those files can be read by Document Manager Pro, after properly saving them. I don't see that you can go directly from the .cwk file in Document Manager Pro without converting them first.
I took a very quick look at the app, so I may be a missing something about its capability.

I have many photos with file extension of .PDD and that Photo Deluxe 4 no longer will operate in Win 7. How can I open? Next in Elements 11, how do I load and print different pictures and different sizes options on the same page?

Firefox can't read any Bookmark that was imported from my PC with file extension .url. Safari reads them fine. Is there a fix, so I can use Firefox instead of Safari? Many thanks if so. I have the latest version of Firefox

Hello JF.
I don't think that extension is supported. I believe Firefox can only read .json and .html.

Quicktime no longer exporting my movies with file extensions

Hi all, QT is no longer exporting or saving movies with file extensions. The only way i can view extensions is to turn on all extensions in finder which means i get .app in my apps folder which i find looks naff, have i changed something to cause this?
Cheers

In the export or save dialog windows is a check box to "hide" the file extension.
Remove that check mark.

How to map the elements in Indesign document with the PDF elements

I wanted to know any way of mapping elements in the InDesign document with the elements in the exported PDF document from the same InDesign document.
E.g If I have an Image X in InDesign document, Can I point out the same element in exported PDF using some mapping?
Thanks in advance
-Sandeep

What is meant by me is, if there is a Text element in InDesign document, I should able to point out the respective PDF object.
I am looking for some way to mark a specific InDesign element and once we export the document to PDF, I want to point out to the same element in some way so that I can process it.
Requirement is simple, one user will mark some elements in the InDesign document and export it to PDF and send it to the other user. Other user will parse the PDF and extract the same element back or process it and use it.

Packaging an InDesign document with Placed Illustrator Files which contain PLACED GRAPHICS!

I've got an InDesign document 215 pages long. Each page contains a placed Illustrator document... and each Illustrator document contains a placed TIFF.
When I package the InDesign Document the Illustrator files are gathered into the new location, but InDesign does not gather the TIFFs. I need to get this material to the book designer, but relinking 215 pages is going to be a very risky and time consuming process--one that will have to be done OVER and OVER again as the project moves from one location to another. Can anyone recommend a solution? Why doesn't InDesign look for nested files?
Does anybody understand what I'm talking about?
--Jay

The reason behind link (.psd in layers) means in the future it can be edited.
If the person receiving to package needs to edit the layers of a PSD placed in an Illustrator file, then yes you would have to manually include the layered PSDs. But if it's just a matter of ensuring full res and color managed output downstream then saving as PDF does that and preserves the links to layered files locally. So if I save as PDF trash a link and reopen the PDF in Illustrator it will look for the link:
If you save as .ai with the links embedded, the users downstream would be able to unembed and edit a flattened version of the placed art.

How to paginate an Indesign document with a PDF File?

Hi everyone!
I'm a french student and i have to do a document on the movie IN TIME (2011) by Andrew Niccol, and i wanted to paginate my document in the style of the counter the characters have on their arms (0000.00.0.00.00.00).
I created it on Photoshop, as a simple Text, and i wanted to know if there was a way to paginate automatically all the document with this file (changing the numbers automatically)? Moreover, it would be perfect if it could be decreasing, like the counter, to have the last paged numbered 0000.00.0.00.00.00.... ?
If someone has an idea....
Thank you for helping me!
I added snapshots to make my question more clear:
PS: I'm sorry for my poor English...

This is a job for Data merge, if using the photoshop files, but I'm not seeing anything in the screen shot that looks like it must be done in Photoshop because it is impossible to do in ID, which makes life simpler, so I'd just place a text file for the page numbers.
Start in Excel and make a one-column table with your numbers in descending order. After you enter the first three, you should be able to get Excel to autofill the rest. Save as a text file.
In InDesign add a frame to the master page where you want the number to appear, and rotate as desired. Don't forget to thread them together if you put a frame on both pages in the master spread. It looks like this frame is going to need to be on a new layer above other content. Create a paragraph style with the character color and the keep options (start in next frame) to use for the numbers. Also create an object style to add the glow on the text and apply it to your master frames. You can also include the paragraph style in your object style, but you must still select it inthe Paragraph Styles panel before placing the number list or the current default paragraph style will override the object style and things won't work as planned.

Pdf files download with .file extension thus wont open as a pdf

Hi , when I try to download a pdf document with Firefox, the file downloads but add a .file extension thus wont open as a pdf.
I do not know if this is relevant but if you try to get the file to open with adobe viewer by telling the pc to open this type of file always with adobe viewer, nothing happens the tick box is greyed out, however if I double click the adobe viewer icon it will quite happily open the downloaded file as a pdf

The next time you download, STOP, and double check the full name of the file.
Firefox would not change the file name. But an add-on could.

Adobe install does not assiocate programs with file extensions

Adobe CS4 was installed then Adobe CS5.5 was installed, Adobe CS4 was then removed. Now I have noticed that some of the workstations are having file association problems, specifically with Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.
The file extensions .pst, .indd. (to name a few) are not associating with the appropriate programs. You can open these files while in the appropate programs, but I cannot double click on the files to open up the program. I've researched this issue and it seems that the following is happening:
1. The progID file path for the program is still pointing to CS4
2. The file extension has not been updated to reflect that it belongs to the appropriate program
3. The following error comes up "Adobe Illustrator has detected a problem in the window registry which needs to be corrected for Illustrator to work properly. Would you like Illustrator to correct the problem now?
This has happened on 3 different workstations, the fix I found for error 1 is to dive into the registry and update the progID with Adobe CS5.5's new file path.
To fix Error 2 and 3 Adobe CS5.5 needed to be uninstalled, then a registry sweet of the unused extensions and the old registry entries using Ccleaner, then a reinstall of Adobe CS5.5. After all of this everything is working perfectly.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so what were your solutions to these issues? Is there a patch or a hotfix or an update I can push out to multiple machines so I don't have to do this on a per machine instance?

You have to uninstall the current version of CS and then install the new version of CS in order to keep these file extensions from breaking. It's as simple as that, if you are having issues with Photoshop not showing up then it's due to the file path still pointing to the old version of Photoshop. You need to go into the registry in order to fix this.
Go to the following:
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\photoshop\shell\open\command
Than change it to the current file path for CS5.5 and that should enable Photoshop to show up in the open with menu in windows.
For example:
This is the old file path in the registry
Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\photoshop.exe
This is what it should be changed to in order for open with to work
Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1\photoshop.exe
After you do this it should work, but this is kind of a bandaid in order to get photoshop to work in windows open with menu

Clicking on PDF files on the internet does not download with file extension

When I click on a PDF link it downloads the file but does not save it as a ".pdf" file extension. When using the "save as" function in mozilla the ".pdf" file extension is included.

Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.

HT4642 how do I save with file extensions in 09.

Numbers 08 had a check box to save a file with the extension (it didn't always work when saving to pdf) but 09 doesn't save the file with the extension (.numbers) by default and doesn't have an option to save .pdf when saving as a pdf. Is there a way to change this or is it not necessary? I'm worried that some clients with older versions may not be able to open the file without the extension.

Hello blinkless,
Numbers is capable of exporting to a variety of different formats (each with the appropriate extension).
Export in PDF, Excel, CSV, or Numbers ’09 file formats
Choose File > Export To > [file format] (from the File menu at the top of your computer screen).
Save a spreadsheet in another format

How to Mark an InDesign Document with an "Indelible Watermark"

For CS5 and ActionScript:
I want to mark an InDesign document I've creating via scripting in such a way that an end user can not get rid of the marking (e.g., when distributing my extension as a trial version). Ideally, I'd want "Trial Version" splashed across each page "indelibly".
How can this be done?
TIA,
mlavie

Hi,
Try using watermark document preference:
app.activeDocument.watermarkPreferences;
There are some properties like text, font, style, rotatio, opacity...
Hope that helps.

Smart folders with file extensions

I'm trying to create a SF including a couple different file extensions but as soon as add the 2nd file type the search goes empty in finder.....
i want avi, mp4, and flv files in there......

You want to see them all, so you need a logical 'OR' between the file extensions you're seeking.
In the Search Criteria, use Name, Contains, and then enter _.avi OR .mp4 OR .flv_
If you've been trying to do it by adding another criteria with the 'plus' button on the right, then you're using a logical 'AND', and obviously the files should not have two or three file extensions.
