Adobe InDesign File to Adobe XDP File

Our enterprise leverages XDP Templates to create PDF Forms.
We have a branch of business that is coming onto to our enterprise standard, but they currently leverage InDesign to build their PDF documents.
Does InDesign have functionality to export to XDP Format for Adobe Designer?
I do not want to export to PDF then reconvert into XDP. What type of XDP support if any is there with InDesign?

Cory, Dov is a high mucky-muck of stuff at Adobe (click on his name for more info). Reading between the lines, it sounds like he's saying
We're working on it. CS4 is due to be released sometime in the next year or so, and it wouldn't surprise me if it supports the Export to XDP function. But I could be wrong....

  • 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.

  • Can I export InDesign files to Adobe Illustrator for editing?

    Can I export InDesign files to Adobe Illustrator for editing? I am not familiar with InDesign, but I am familiar with Illustrator.  I have CS6.  Hope someone can help.  I have a large Orientation Booklet that needs updating and do not have the time to get tutored in InDesign.

    No.
    The closest you’ll get is a PDF and Illustrator is not a general purpose PDF editor.
    Good luck.

  • Back-saving Adobe CC / CS6 InDesign files for use in Adobe InDesign CS3?

    I am currently running Adobe CS3 on a Macintosh computer / OS. Is it possible to back-save Adobe CC / CS6 InDesign files for use in Adobe InDesign CS3?

    @kc.k – You will need InDesign CS4 for that.
    CS4 is the only version, that can export/import both IDML and INX exchange formats.
    And you need an exported INX file (from InDesign CS4) that can open your exported IDML file from CS6, CC or CC-2014.
    Since you are still running CS3 I'd suggest you downloading a 30days version of CS4 and do the conversion:
    Download Adobe CS4 and CS3 Free Trials Here (incl. After Effects) | ProDesignTools
    Read the Note about downloading very well before trying !!

  • InDesign file with layers to the Adobe Creative Cloud?

    Is it possible for me to upload an InDesign file with layers to the Adobe Creative Cloud please?

    Hello, Yes  you can upload a Indesign CC file with layers and download the same file with the layers. It is still the orginal file as there is not any changes made to the file during the upload or download process from the Creative Cloud.
    If you find that this resolves your issue or was helpful, could you please take a moment to come back to this discussion and mark the post as helpful. Doing so greatly benefits your fellow users

  • Is there a way that I can view Adobe indesign files without having Adobe indesigner on my Mac

    I often get sent Adobe indesign files, but I am unable to view these because I do not have the software installed on my Mac.  I wondered if anyone knew of any software that would enable me to view these files.   I do not need to edit these files and only need to view them.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Many thanks
    Alice

    Hi,
    Many thanks for your response to my question.  This does seem a way around the problem.
    Today I was sent indesign files from a designer and I wasn't able to check they were the right version, so I passed them on for them to be printed and then found out they were the wrong version when I got the PDF back for me to approve by the print house.
    Thanks again

  • I can open my new InDesign files by going up through the menu and opening that way, but when I try to just double click on an InDesign file I get error messages telling me that certain plugins aren't available.

    I upgraded my Mac a few weeks ago to 10.10.2 Yosemite, and I joined the Adobe cloud so I could get access to all the new apps. I read a blurb somewhere about converting older InDesign files to the new CC version I'd have to open the old files in my old InDesign CS3, export to an ins file, then open that file in the new InDesign CC, then export it again to an idml file, then open that file and you shouldn't have any of the usual conversion problems. For the first few files I had to convert, it worked just fine. Now for some reason, whenever I try to open one of these converted files just by double-clicking on the file itself, I get an error message that says, "The document ____ uses one or more plug-ins which are currently not available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?" When I click OK, then I get another error message that says, "Cannot open ____. Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign." I thought this CC version of InDesign was the newest. Can somebody please tell me what gives with this? Any help will be very much appreciated.

    Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
    For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
    And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

    I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps.  I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.1). You must use that version or later to open the file." AARRGGHH! So how do I access the file?

    Sounds like you opened and saved it in CC, so now you need to go back to CC and either complete the project there, or export to IDML to take it back into CS6.

  • Can anyone help me open these InDesign files?

    I've been trying all day to open files for a project I was working on in March with InDesign.  I could open them in March but now my computer is either crashing from trying to load the folder that contains the files, or it gives me one of two error messages.  The first saying I don't have permission to open the file, the second saying the file is already open with another user.
    I have tried opening from my computer and from an external drive, neither work.  I have tried restarting.  I've tried opening as a copy, original and normal.  I've tried opening InDesign as an administrator.  I have tried phoning Adobe and have been on hold for 25 minutes so far.  I have tried the online help but nobody available there.  I don't know what else to try.
    I can create a new InDesign files and I'm not having any trouble with any other Adobe products.  My subscription is until 29th August.  Any ideas appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Angs

    If you open it in a plain text editor, what do the first few lines look like? If there's no lock file, the next most likely cause for this error is that the files aren't really .indd files.

  • InCopy Crashes when trying to open InDesign file.

    InCopy just spins when trying to open an Indesign file and will eventualy cause InCopy to crash. When InCopy is then reopened the file will be recovered but the only tab available is layout view, both story view and gallery view are missing. The editor needs story view to make corrections.
    The designer sets up the file with InDesign CS6 v. 8.0.1 on a mac w/osx v.10.7.5 the editor was using InCopy CS6 v.8.0.1 but has received new hardware and is on v8.0.2 windows 7. One of our Editors does receive this message Adobe InDesign is missing required files, Please reinstall.
    We have upgraded editors hardware to allow more resorces.
    Please advise what may be the cause.

    Why would one of your editors receive a message about "Adobe InDesign is missing required files, please reinstall"? Aren't they using InCopy (not InDesign)?
    Re the InCopy crashes, it sounds like the INDD file might be damaged. You can test this by having the InDesign user create a new test document and export one story to the workflow. See if the InCopy user can open that INDD file over the network, check out the test story, make a change, save it, check it back in, and then the InDesign user update the story on their end.

  • How to make InDesign files open by default in CC, not CC 2014

    Now that I have 2 version of InDesign on my mac (10.8.5 - Mountain Lion), both CC and CC 2014, how can I make my .indd files open by default in CC instead of the new 2014 version?
    I've tried selecting a .indd file, opening the Info panel and changing the "Open with:" option to "Adobe InDesign CC.app 9.2.2.103". I then click Change All.. and confirming. However, this does not work. Double-clicking any .indd file still opens in the 2014 version and the Info panel for any .indd file still shows the 2014 version as the "Open with:" default.
    Any ideas?

    Here are three methods. The first two are free but don't give you exactly what you want. The third requires a third-party utility and works perfectly.
    (1) Right-click on a file and from the menu choose Open With... then choose the version of InDesign you want.
    (2) Create an alias for your InDesign versions and place them on your Desktop. Drag your InDesign file onto the alias of the version you want to open.
    (3) Purchase Soxy from Rorohiko:
    Soxy | Rorohiko Workflow Resources
    NOTE: Rorohiko says the version that supports InDesign CC 2014 is coming soon, they're waiting to test the new version before they release it.

  • I cannot open InDesign files after upgrading to CS6.

    Error message is "Cannot open the file *.indd. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug in that support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application" Can anyone help!

    That message means exactly what it says, more or less. The three possibilities are it isn't an InDesign file at all (we see that here a lot), there is a .idlk lock file in the same folder (delete it), or the file has been damaged (frequently happens with flash drives).
    If you open the file in a plain text editor like NotePad or TextEdit (it will look like gibberish) and paste the first few lines here we may be able to tell you if the file is damaged or not an InDesign file.

  • How to create multiple editable PDFs from data merged Indesign file

    Hi
    This is quite complicated but I'm hoping someone can help me and hoping I can explain it too!
    I am working on a project for a client. She wants to send 150 people a 6 page PDF with fields to complete and return to her.
    She has an Excel spreadsheet with some of the fields completed already so these will be Data Merged into InDesign CS6.
    The short version of the question goes like this:
    Can you automate the process so that once all the data is in the InDesign file, it can then create a PDF every 6 pages all in one go?
    For those still interested, the long version of the question goes like this:
    I have created 3 pages in InDesign with fields to complete and used the 'Data Merge' facility to add the Excel info.
    I have created 3 more pages with blank fields to fill in.
    Then I have made all fields editable using the 'Buttons and Forms' facility in the Interactive menu.
    Then I have created an interactive PDF. Then I have opened that PDF in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and saved it as 'Reader Extended PDF' and 'Enable Additional Features'
    I now have an Editable PDF with half the fields filled in and half blank to be filled in and this can be saved and returned.
    Now, this would be great if it was only one or two. But I need to create 150 different versions and this is just for the Pilot study. If all goes well, this will go to 5,000 people and I can't be creating 5,000 seperate PDFS!!
    At this stage, I am just focussing on the 150. So again, going back to the original question, is there a script that could be written either to break up the 1st PDF every 6 pages into 150 different PDFS? Is there even a way of extending that script to Save as Reader Extended etc? Is there a simple idea that I'm missing? Are there any ways to do this? I can use 'Created Merged Documents' to make 150 x 6 pages in Indesign so can anything be done from there?
    Any advice greatly appreciated
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to link and update external files in a Indesign document when sharing the Indesign file in Creative Cloud with multiple users?

    I am new to Creative Cloud, but have been using Adobe software for many years.
    Now we are considering sharing an Indesign file with my project group using CC.
    The Indesign file contains links to external files (one Illustrator and multiple .txt files); and we export the approved version to an Hi-Res PDF.
    These .txt files are currently hosted on our internal server but have not been linked directly: we first copy them over to local desktop and update the links in Indesign before creating a new PDF. 
    Since these file can be update by different people we would like to keep them outside the Indesign and Illustrator files.
    Is it still possible with CC to link directly to the files on our server in Indesign and see if there have been updated?
    Or can they also be stored in the CC cloud? Or is there another method?
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions
    Ronald

    This will work if you all use the file syncing of the Creative Cloud desktop application and then you use the Collaborate option for the folder containing all the files. Then it will work on each of your desktops.
    Links to files will not work in the browser when viewing the InDesign document from https://creative.adobe.com/files.
