InDesign .idml files and embedded Illustrator files

I am in a situation where I create 2 page Illustrator files
and embed them in InDesign CC. However, when I back save the files,
whomever opens them has issues. The second page of the Illustrator files appears
correctly when in Fast Preview but when switched to Hi Res preview,
the second page reverts to the first page view so i have 2 views of page 1
of the Illustrator file.
Is there any way to avoid this?

Ah Eugene,
If only people made it that simple.
In the Illustrator file I have a layer with 300 pt Helveitca black in Red that states:
"Do NOT place any art in or alter this file in ANY Way!"
I have gotten files back from the client where they have eliminated the type
from that layer just to place their artwork there.
And the other thing to keep in mind is these Illustrator files represent
fully imposed press forms - generally 28" x 40"
I have been doing prepress for over 20 years and the simpler you can make
something, the better off you will be in the long run.
A single InDesign File with an embedded Dieline (Face on one page, Back on the next)
Is the most foolproof way I can come up with.
However, it appears InDesign is unable to handle this.

  • When I save a CS6 InDesign file as an .idml file InDesign crashes and sends a report to Adobe.

    When I save a CS6 InDesign file as an .idml file InDesign crashes and sends a report to Adobe.
    When I restart InDesign the .idml file is in the directory as well as a locked InDesign file.
    I cannot open the .idml file, instead I get the message:
    Cannot open "" file. Adobe InDesign maynot support the file format,
    a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing,
    or the file may be open in another location.
    I can however open an InDesign .idml file that was saved from InDesign CC software.
    InDesign CC software is also unable to open the .idml file that I created in CS6.

    It seems to be a corrupted IDML file. Does it happen with every file or only with that one.
    What is the content of that file? Did you embed images or graphics or did you ink them? Size?
    Maybe that this would help you: Re: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.

  • Why won't my unzipped and rezipped IDML file open in InDesign?

    I'm a developer working on an IDML based project.
    My application opens an IDML file, inflates the contents and (for the moment, without making any changes), deflates them again.
    The result is a file which:
    a) Opens fine in any zip application
    b) My code can then reopen without problems.
    InDesign, however, throws the following error:
    "Cannot open the file "filename.idml". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be miussing, or the file may be open in another application."
    I have verified that the file is not open in another app, and that no plug ins are involved.
    InDesign will open the original IDML file that it exported, so there's no general error.
    I assume the issue is with the zip container not being UCF compliant, and I'm trying to diagnose what the problem might be.
    My question(s):
    Has anyone been through this and do they have any suggestions or guidance?
    Is there any way I can get InDesign to tell me in more detail why it cannot open the file?
    What are the most likely issues with the container?
    I have inspected both the original file and the output file using Winzip, and I append the results of a detailed diagnostic on each below. The only difference I can see is that some files in the original are not compressed (they are simply stored in the zip container), but the UCF specification seems to suggest that a container can contain either compressed or normal files, so I don't see why this should be a problem. Would this cause InDesign to have a problem?
    Many thanks in advance for any assistance. Zip file diagnostics follow.

  • Exporting a inDesign CS2 File to Illustrator CS2 and Preserving LInks

    Hi,
    I have 3 InDesign CS2 files that have several links which have been modified withing the file. The printer needs these files in Illustrator format with the links preserved, so they can swap images, adjust colors and such.
    I am having a problem exporting these files to Illustrator CS2 while preserving the links.
    I have tried exporting as hirez PDF/X-1a as well as a EPS. They both embedd all the files. When I go to relink everything the images come in as their original form as expected and I find I have to reformat every image which is very time consuming.
    I don't want to spend hours trying to relink everything for each package, so I was wondering if there was a way I would be able to export them while preserving all my images as links to Illustrator. Is that even possible? Is there an option in CS3 perhaps? I am willing to upgrade if necessary.
    Please Help!

    My boss is in charge of talking to the client and the printer. I am the designer asked to post this question to see if there was another way besides spending hours adjusting these files. I believe he is going to try and convince him otherwise looks like I will be relinking and adjusting for a while to give them what they want.

  • ID CS5.5 IDML file and missing plug-ins...need help

    I'm currently running ID CS5.5 and trying to open a CS5 file, ( I think). However, even after converting it to a IDML file extension it just hangs and forces me to shut down. The whole purpose of this is there are several plug-ins including InBooklet SE that I no longer have access to. I'm unable to find the other plugins as well but need to be able to work in this file as the original creator. Any help or suggestions?
    Here is my report:

    You can't convert to .idml by changing the file extension. You must export the file from the oringal version as a .idml file.
    That said, you can use jongware's script to identify the version of the file, even if it won't open: Adobe Forums: [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
    That said, InBooklet SE was part of InDesign CS3, but I see it listed inthe plugins used. I also see a number of what look like third-party plugins listed, and that may be the problem. What's happening when you try to open the file?

  • How to put Flash video game onto inDesign PDF file and Website page or link?!

    I am making a video game using Adobe Flash 2.0. I need to be able to show what I have through a website (my portfolio) and/or insert it into an interactive Indesign PDF file. The game needs to be able to be played and be used and tested by whoever I send the pdf file to, or whoever is would be view my the site I post it on. I have attempted many different ways to put my game onto my website (cargocollective) and Indesign, but nothing is working! I need help.
    For example I need my game to be placed on the website page, and on the pdf document as an image. When it is clicked on I need it to start so people can play the game. I don't know how to do this and I would really love and need to know how! Thanks.

    Flash should be able to publish an html page which will provide the web page code needed for embedding the swf.  The page it publishes should be sufficient for planting on a server unless you plan to dress it up with other content as well.
    As far as incorporating Flash content into a PDF using InDesign goes, you are best to ask questions about using InDesign in the InDesign forum.  Here is a link to the Overview page whee you can pick which forum applies best to your situation:

  • InDesign file Opens but can't create working IDML File

    Hello all, I'm working on an a Mac OS X system and  have an InDesign CS4 file (originally created on a PC) that opens without any problems. When I try to export an IDML from this InDesign file, the IDML makes InDesign crash when trying to open it. I have also tried exporting an INX and come across the same problem. I have narrowed it down and it appears that the problme has to do with the Master pages. Does anyone have any suggestions/guesses what the issue may be?

    Well, you have the IDML file, so your problem is trivial! Divide and Conquer!
    Just keep removing portions of the IDML file until you find the problem! Then inspect carefully or post a small excerpt.
    Are you running 7.0.4? It fixed a lot of IDML export problems, though I don't know about import problems.
    What does the thread0 section of your crash report look like?

    It sure is. Be careful, though; large images could be split up into several consecutive CDATA parts.
    I wrote a Javascript to do the same, but it's extremely slow. A plain C version (I did not even use the '++' part) does the job in less than the blink of an eye.

  • Acrobat and InDesign CS5 file issue

    Hi everyone...
    My issue is that Acrobat won't or can't convert InDesign CS5 files. It opens Illustrator and Photoshop and converts them to pdf's but not InDesign.
    I've tried everything. I've even tried Adobe tech help. No luck. It was a relatively easy procedure in CS4, not to mention a time saver.
    Is there someone that knows how to resolve this? Please help as I'm desperate to avoid having to convert all my InDesign files one at a time.

    Hi Matthew-
    Our workflow often involves combining multiple IND files into a pdf.  With CS4, we merely opened acrobat, clicked "Merge Files into a Single PDF" and dropped in the indesign files we wished to combine. Presto- we had one PDF with all IND files put together without having to go through indesign.
    In response to your post, I only have CS5 installed, and it seems as though Acrobat doesn't recognize ID CS5 as a program at all.   I believe I am current on all InDesign and Acrobat 9 updates to date - I'm running InDesign7.0.2 and Acrobat 9.3.4.
    When trying to open IND files through Acrobat, Acrobat launches and gives an error message that states: "Please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer."
    Acrobat can't call InDesign CS5 to open at all.  Could this be because Acrobat was not updated along with the CS5 suite and therefore doesn't recognize the new CS5 Indesign files?
    I read another blog that mentioned it could be a registry problem- they ran CCleaner and ran the registry fix.  Then uninstalled and reinstalled both Acrobat and Indesign.  What are your thoughts on this method?  It's hard for me to try this on my own, as it requires an administrative login- our IT department has us locked out.  I would like another opinion before I ask them to help.
    Do you forsee a fix from Adobe in the future?
    Thanks for your help!

  • IDML file crashes InDesign. INDD CC file opens fine

    I created a file in Indesign CC. Saved as .indd and as .idml. The .indd files opens fine, the .idml file causes Indesign to crash. No errors, just a long wait, then a forced quit.
    InDesign is up to date. Created a new document, copied and pasted document contents to new file, same issue. Shrunk one of the larger images in case it was too large to load, error still occurs.
    System: Windows 7
    How can I fix the .idml file?

    Forced Quit is not a crash. You might have a hang, or it might just be taking a long time to process if there are a lot of pasted vectors or missing links.

  • InDesign CS5.5 freezes when creating an idml file

    Good Day All,
    I have been using inDesign since it started and have never come across this problem. I have a file that I intially created in CS4, converted to CS5 and now CS5.5. I have been trying to convert it to an IDML file and EVERYTIME it hangs and freezes. It actually produces a file but non-useable. I have been struggling with this for the last two days.
    I have;
    removed cache recovery files
    looked at all styles to ensure optical kerning wasn't on (seems like a common problem)
    rebuilt the file and renamed it
    replaced Adobe Garamond Pro with Garamond Premier Pro
    tried it on another machine
    Re-installed CS5.5

    Thanks for the reply, but it didn't work.  I tried to move the jpg but as soon as I get to that page or click on it in the links panel, I automatically get an error code: 3 message and then the software just cascades from there.  When I try to relink the graphic in the links panel nothing happens.  I even get an error when trying to unembed the graphic.  I've tried just about everything.  I'm think that if maybe I could just delete that entire page without actually looking at the page, I may be able to recover the rest of the document.  This has been one of the biggest headaches I've ever had to deal with as far as software goes and I deal with it every day (I'm a developer).  Any other suggestions are more than welcome.
    Oh, and I wasn't sure how to "open as a copy."  I made a copy of the file and tried to open it but it reacted the same as the original.  Perhaps I misunderstood your meaning?
    Thanks again for your help.

  • I can't open idml file exported from CS6 in Indesign 4 or 6.

    I created an InDesign document in CS6 and saved it as an idml file to be able open it on another machine with CS4. Unfortunately I did not save a copy in indd copy in 6. I get a message "Adobe may not support this format, a plug in might be missing." any ideas welcome, otherwise I start over Thanks.

    No luck? Did you get any message?
    "Adobe may not support this format, a plug in might be missing." is normally opening if you try to open an INDD in a previous version. That's why I supposed that it might be an INDD file with the wrong extension.
    If the file is not corrupted you should be able to open any IDML in CS6 but also in CS4.
    If you have saved it with the wrong extension, you could try to replace the wrong extension with a correct one.
    You write also HDML? Are you sure that it is also not a HTML file?

  • Issues opening .idml file in InDesign cs6 originally from CC

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if anyone has had "issues" when opening an .idml file in cs6
    which was saved out of InDesign CC.
    More specifically, the following:
    Some image links acquire an Opacity Effect of 43%.
    And not every image in the file — only a handful (10 out of 50) images.
    The (original) InDesign CC file has their opacity set at 100% (ie - no transparency applied at all)
    Are .idml files typically buggy like this when opening in previous version?
    Is this kind of irratic behavior to be expected?
    Is there a fix?
    Any input would be most appreciated.
    Thanks!

    @Lester – can you check, if the same problem occurs with IDMS files (Snippets) in InDesign CC ?
    Just export a sample image to IDMS, create a new file and place the snippet.
    IDMS is directly related to IDML. It uses the same properties and XML structure.
    Just for testing purposes…
    Hm. Your workaround is really no workaround. It is a dead end…

    @Laubender
    I selected one of the problematic images in cc, exported as idms. Then, created a new page in cs6 and placed that snippet file. It did not acquire the 43% opcaity. I'm not positive I did exactly what you were suggesting...or if this info is helpful.
    thx

    I installed the InDesign CC Testversion and now i try to open INDD-Files from earlier Version. Always i get the error "This file is made by an earlier Version...." but it´s CC that is the latest Version. What is the problem ? Should i have to convert the files ?

    Adobe has been using confusing version names for at least five years.
    There are now two versions labeled CC, version 9 and version 10 (also known as CC 2014). Version 10 is the latest, and if you attempt to open a version 10 file in Version 9 that is not fully patched you will get an error message telling you that the file cannot be opened. The latest patch for version 9 should use a cloud-based service at Adobe to convert version 10 files to IDML and allow you to open that.
    I suspect you may be using an older operating system. Version 10 requires that your system runs at least OS X 10.7 or Windows 7 SP1 and if you are not it will not even be offered to you.

  • How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

    How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

    Yes. Thanks. I misled myself based on another post. Successfully did this by selecting "File," "Save a copy ..." then choosing "for CS4 or later (IDML)"
    It required some patience and several tries, but I think that was due to hardware (memory) being overloaded by CC Cloud version or something. It was a 50 MB, 500-page file and took 17 minutes to convert/save,
    Re-capping: from CCloud to CS5, don't use "Export" (to IDML); use "Save as" or "Save a copy" and select "for CS4 or later (IDML)".
    Advice much appreciated.
