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

@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.

"Cannot open resource file" when InDesign CS6 starts.

I have an Intel Mac Pro running OS/X Snow Leopard.
When I open InDesign CS6 I get an error "Cannot open resource file", but there is no indication of what file it can't open.
When I click OK in the dialog box, InDesign opens and appears to be working.
I am concerned that this may cause a problem as I continue to use it.
Is there any way I can correct this issue?
I also have InDesign CS5.5 installed on the same Mac and it runs fine with no resource error.

I tried uninstalling InDesign, once I figured out how to do that with Creative Cloud that is (it's not an option in the Adobe Application Manager - which I think it should be).
Anyway, after uninstalling and reinstalling, the error is still there.
I also tried Peter's suggestion to remove the InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData and have them recreated but that didn't work either. I even tried the cmd-ctrl-opt-shift method to delete the preference files and still I get the "Cannot open resource file" error.
I thought that it was just a glitch since if I click "OK" in the dialogue box InDesign seems to open fine and then even let me open up a document that I had been working on in InDesign CS5.5.
But ....
Even though the document opened fine, as soon as I click on a text field, any text field, InDesign crashes.
I tried three different documents and it does the same thing.
It didn't crash when I selected a graphic or an embedded pdf but it does as soon as I click on any text field.
Does that help narrow down what the resource file error is?
By the way, I can open InDesign CS5.5 just fine (same computer) with no resource file error and it does not crash when I select a text field, so the issue seems to be strictly with CS6.

Can only open .indd files within InDesign CS6

I am using InDesign CS6 (cloud version) on Windows XP. I can only open .indd files by opening InDesign CS6, doing File>Open, and then browsing for the file.
If I try to go to the folder where the .indd file is located (without opening InDesign CS6), and double-click on it, it acts like it doesn't know what kinf of file it is.
Another co-worker of mine is experiencing the same thing on Windows 7.
Does anyone have suggestions on what to try to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Uninstall, run the clean tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3), and reinstall. The symptoms you describe are typical if the icon handler .dll file is damaged.
Try turning off your anti-virus and spyware scanners, and anthing else not required to run the system before you reinstall.

How do I save my file using InDesign CS6 so that it can be opened with CS5?

I know other people asked similar questions but I can't find anything that helps me figure my issue out.
Basically, I packaged my file using InDesign CS6. When I sent it to the person it needed to be sent to, she couldn't open it. She was running CS5.
So now I'm trying to REpackage it still using CS6 but when I make an IDML version and try to package it, it says that I need to SAVE it. Well the only options are CS6, which I can't use again, and another IDML version. If I did the IDML it would just save it as another untitled document and then I'd have to start all over.
Actually I just tried that, and InDesign crashed.
Any suggestions?

Hey,
There is no such function in InDesign as 'saving to a lower version' (as it is in e.g. FrameMaker). There are interchange formats: obsolete INX (CS2,CS3,CS4) and current IDML (CS5, CS5.5, CS6).
You need to export (ctrl+e) previously saved document into IDML and attach to existing INDD file (Attaching is not necessary as IDML is a self-sufficient file). Also it's a really good idea to attach a PDF file (from CS6) as there might be some differences when opening a IDML from higher file in lower version program.
Final package could look like this:
     Document fonts
     Links
          original file.indd
          original file.idml
          original file.pdf
best regards

My Fonts change when opening an InDesign CS4 file with InDesign CS6

I've been experiencing strange behaviour when opening a InDesign CS4 file file with InDesign CS6: the kerning and spacing is all off:
Original file:
opened in InDesign CS6:
Is this a conversion error? Is there a setting/pref I've got wrong?

It's more than a year ago since this issue was reported, but at this time I'd had the same problem when opening a CS4 document in CS6/CC.
I was amazed that a header, placed in capitals, looked different in CS6/CC. But at last, after several tests, i've came to the conclusion that "forced" capitals behaving different than "real" capitals. In others words: when you forcing text to capitals the kerning would be different in CS6/CC. When you place text in real capitals (Shift + text) the kerning is the same as in both InDesign versions.
Text in CS4:
As you can see: in CS4 there's no difference between real capitals en forced capitals.
Below the results when opening the CS4 file in CS6/CC:
I'm not sure if there are still people struggling with this problem, but hopefully was is this helpful.

How to open a idml file created by CS6 in CS5?

I created a file in InDesign CS6 and saved as idml file yesterday.
But today I can not open either in CS6 or CS5 version.
It says
"Cannot open the file "Project #3.idml". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."
Is there anyother way could open this file?

I chose from the drop-down list.
Maybe not.
Anyway, thank you very much!

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.

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to seek your assistance. We're using and Adobe InDesign CS6. The XMedia UI Plugin for it, will it allow you to open .xml files in InDesign or that plugin is just used for Importing XML? Thanks in advance.

I've moved your question to the InDesign forum.

I have Adobe Design and Web Premium CS6. If I buy adobe CC, can I easily open my for example indesign CS6 files with no complications?

I cannot imagine any problems in doing so, but you can keep your cs6 installation anyway.

Adjusting space around "textwrap' after opening PM7 file in InDesign

Love PageMaker as it suits my basic needs, but printer needs Indesign file. In PageMaker 7, I have numerous photos with captions (67). The photo and caption have been textwrapped together. When I open the file in InDesign 4, both the caption and photo have "frames," but there is a solid red frame around both of them (what would be close to the textwrap size in PageMaker 7). This solid red frame is larger than the original textwrap frame in PM7 and therefore throwing out of line the rest of the material (non-textwrapped) in my file. I don't know how to make this solid red frame smaller. This is the only problem I have when I open my file in InDesign. Unfortunately nothing I am reading seems to point me in the right direction. I would so greatly appreciate any help. Will send box of candy!! Thanks. Elkie2

Mike (and Bob and Peter),
"first post says this is a red frame, post #3 says red line. They are adjusted differently and easily. Strokes on frames need adjusted separately from the frame size."
Didn't mean to say "red line" (strokes). If I can't explain the problem correctly, what hope is there for me. One more try. There is one red frame with handles which surrounds the photo with its caption. The handles would allow me to change the frame size which I don't want to do, as I don't want to change the size of the photo. There is another red frame without handles around this frame. This frame, without the handles, is the one that has too much space around it (top, bottom and sides). Since it has no handles, there is no way to adjust its size. Hope this might make more sense, if someone still wants to try to respond.
(Will look a pdf issues also - thanks for words on it).

Unable to open AVI files in Photoshop CS6

Unable to open AVI files in Photoshop CS6
I am running PS6 and want to open and edit AVI files. When I try to do that I get an error message saying "the video file cannot be opened" . This seems to apply to ALL avis - yet I can open and edit MP4, MMV etc. I installed Gspot to track whether it was a codec issue and when I try to open ANY file I get this error message : "Warning: DirectShow crashed while GSpot was attempting to obtain information about a codec. This is usually due to damaged, misconfigured, conflicting, or poorly written codec drivers. It is possible, perhaps even likely, that other media players will crash when they attempt to play this file as well, as most of them will also use DirectShow. GSpot was able to intercept the crash, and has attempted to identify the codec or filter involved; uninstalling or reinstalling this codec or filter may solve the problem. The codec was tentatively identified as: C:\Windows\system32\imaadp32.acm Unknown video codec #11" I have NO idea where to go from here. I see a site to download the "imaadp32.acm" codec but what about the "Unknown video codec #11". What the heck is that and what do I do about it. Any help would be appreciate, Cliff
ps I should add that the avi files DO open and play in Bridge. I have the latest Quicktime. Everything is up to date and PS and the computer is otherwise working perfectly !

Thanks Curt and 'Mylenium'
I did re-set the prefs - but to no avail
I checked and my graphics driver and audio is all up to date.
No sure how to verify Windows Media Player's hardware acceleration options. I opened WMP Options /Perfformance tab and under Cd the DirX tab is checked.
Running Windows Vista - so does the same caution apply regarding a re-install of Windows Media Components and DirectX ?
Appreciate your help with this somewhat frustrating issue. I am converting some old 8mm film to avi with the hope of doing some edits then burning to DVD.
Cliff

ID Install - Can't open the application Adobe InDesign CS6 because it may be damaged or incomplete.

Trying to install inDesign CS6 on my imac. But everytime I try at end of install I either get a problem with install error, or if it does show up in my applications folder, it has a "no" sign and when clicked I get:
"You can't open the application Adobe InDesign CS6 because it may be damaged or incomplete."
Need help, Im a freelance desktop publisher and need this to work!

After I deleted Adobe File Manager because it was always popping up annoyingly, I got a similar "damaged application - reinstall" message. However, InDesign didn't seem to be affected. Nevertheless, I reinstalled AFM, and fixed the problem, except for the annoying appearances of AFM.
If it's not present on your system, you can search Google for "download adobe application manager mac" without quotes, to download and install it.

We all can learn from this. Whenever you get stuck in a customer-service situation that goes nowhere, as soon as you become aware of the futility, get the name and employee ID of the person, then say, "I don't mean to be rude, I think we're both wasting our time. Perhaps you weren't trained for this issue, or perhaps your system isn't displaying the correct information. It doesn't matter, because I'm not getting proper customer support this way. Please ESCALATE this to your highest-level manager IMMEDIATELY. If that person isn't availabe, ESCALATE me to that person's highest-level manager. If you haven't been given the proper training, you can use this to inform your manager that you need the training. Thanks for trying to help. I appreciate it. I have copied and saved this chat session. NOW PLEASE ESCALATE THIS CASE AS I HAVE REQUESTED ABOVE. I'm waiting now... "
The point is that you're a customer, and the company needs customers, so the individual who's failing to deliver good service needs to be identified so they can be properly trained, and so that problems in the system can also be identified, but more important is that you get the service you're entitled to.
If you search the forum for similar questions, you'll see the kind of information that the volunteer users like yourself on the forum need to know about your system and files involved, so they can help you better.
Good luck.

Editing Photoshop CS6 file using InDesign CS6

I need to edit a Photoshop CS6 file using InDesign CS6. Specifically, I am editing a business card and want to make changes to the layered components (for example: changing color hues, changing logo, changing fonts) and I know nothing about InDesign. Can anyone give me some pointers?

The thing is, I don’t have Photoshop or Illustrator; I only have InDesign CS6 and I want to do the following:
Deepen the colors
Swap the logo for another one
Change the font
I am not able to access the layers because I used the place function to insert the jpeg file in the InDesign document. I remember once being able to access the layered document, but I don't remember how. I tried opening the Photoshop file using InDesign, but it doesn't come up as a readable file.

How do I add a zoom function to a digital magazine (.swf file) in InDesign CS6?

Hi,
Im creating an interactive digital magazine for our company which will go on the iPad, but also online for computers.
The iPad (.folio) has zoom functions, but on screen (.swf) the magazine is very static and peaple can't zoom and scroll (the zooming buttons function in InDesign doesn't work here).
So, how do I add a zoom function to a digital magazine (.swf file) in InDesign CS6?
(I read older posts regarding this problem in CS5... It's not possible for me to purchase an additional product for that. I have Flash, if there is a tutorial on how to do it, that'd be helpful too)
Thanks for your help!
Best regards!

Although the help implies this should work, and I've seen it written in a book to do things this way, it's not how I do things:
var content_req1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("text/hales.txt");
var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(content_req1);
content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete1);
Instead, try:
var content_req1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("text/hales.txt");
var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete1);
content_ldr1.load(content_req1);
