Cannot add a specific Indesign file to Review

A client sent me 9 InDesign files. I opened them all in CS5 and saved with new names. Then I added them to a review online; however, one of the 9 won't let me add it. The button is grayed out in the CS Review panel. Any ideas why this would happen? It's a one page form with just text and one small logo that is not linked.

Oh pity.
Adding a "source" file which is not really a source file and prefixing every line with comment characters is quite ugly way of doing it. In some ways Vivado does support adding text files to project (I adds upgrade logs and others); Could it be possible for users to create such files, too, in a future release of Vivado?

Cannot add lyrics to AAC files on SMB share

A really odd behavior. I cannot add lyrics to AAC files living on an SMB-mounted share that holds all of my songs. It works for MP3s, but whenever I add lyrics and press OK, or use an automatic lyric finding script, the pasted lyrics disappear. I know that the share is not write protected, and neither are the songs in question. I have no trouble adding new songs to that same volume.
Any help or idea what to check for would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sortof figuring that but I can always hope - I just wish I could find some solid documentation that says yes/no... and I haven't been able to.....

Add missing plugin Indesign file to book

Is it possible to add the InDesign file in book which is showing "Missing Plug-in" message. If i try to add manually also, it shows the below error message:
"File uses one or more plug-ins that are not currently available on your system. Cannot add this document to book."
Anyone give me suggestion how to handle this.

I think this is version problem.
Are you adding a higher version InDesign to lower version. [Eg. Adding a CS3 document to CS2 book].
If its true then, Open the document in oringal version[CS3] and export as INX and open the exported INX in lower version [CS2]. Then save as new indd and add it to the Book.

Indesign CS5.5 cannot open CS5.5 indesign file

Hello all,
I created an InDesign CS5.5 file yesterday and today i can't open it anymore from the officer server.
When the file is on the server at the office and i try to open it, a pop-up shows this:
"Cannot open the file "filename.indd". 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".
It doesn't work for any other InDesign files on the server neither and it is not open in another application or on another computer at the office.
When i transfer that file on my desktop it works fine, but i can't work that way at the office of course.
Has someone an answer to that ?
Thank you,
Thierry
--------------------------------------------- EDIT ---------------------------------------------
For all who have this error, restart your machine and it works fine!
Cheers,
Thierry

Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

Specific InDesign file (CS6) won't print

HI- I have CS6 and one of my files will not print. (Well it will print the first spread, but nothing else). I have tried installing and uninstalling the printer driver, and other indesign files I have will print, but I have one specific file that will inly print the first spread. I'm wondering if there is a corrupt file in there or font or something?
Here's the kicker- I exported it as a .pdf and tried printing the file off another computer, and it will STILL only print the first page but no other spreads. All the content appears in the .pdf however.
Any ideas??

As weird as this may sound... I just had the same problem!
I have a 7 page document and InDi would only print the first page!
Then, I exported it to PDF, and Acrobat also would only print the first page!
I started troubleshooting...
Printing each page alone:
page 2 would not print
pages 3,4,5 would print!
page 6 would not
page 7 printed
It comes out that on pages 2 and 6 I had some paragraphs with paragraph style A, and there were some overrides.
The minute I cleared the overrides, the whole document printed without a problem!
Obviously, this can't be the problem. Text overrides never stopped InDi or a PDF from printing before
But this was the reality in my scenario
If anyone can shed some light on this... I would be very interested.
Thanks
Davey

Cannot add artwork to certain files

I am using the latest version of iTunes (7.3.2(6)) and I am having a frustrating problem. For certain music files, I am unable to add artwork. I am aware that some people were having this issue with AIFF files, but I am also having it with AAC files. For instance, I have one album consisting of 10 tracks, all of them AAC files at 192 kbps. I see the "Drag Artwork Here" message in the lower right corner of my screen, and when I drag an appropriately sized jpeg to the image, it seems to stay put. If I highlight another file, and then go back to the first one, the artwork that was there a minute ago has vanished. There doesn't seem to be any way to add artwork to these files.
I have had the same issue with other albums: can add artwork to some tracks and they stay just fine, and others disappear immediately after adding them. I did not have this problem with previous versions of iTunes.
Anyone else experiencing this issue with AAC files? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I had the same problem. So I closed iTunes and located the files in the finder and it turned out some of the files I had ripped eons ago were .mpg instead of .mp3. I just changed the extension on these old files to .mp3 and the artwork I had pasted miraculously appeared the next time I opened iTunes. Not sure if just changing the extension is the best way to deal with this for all file types, but it worked for me.
PS I was also having problems with the files holding artist name changes - this also fixed that problem.

Unable to add picture to Indesign file: error the file is already open.

I am hoping that someone may have an answer for my question as I can't seem to find a solution anywhere else.
The Setup:
We have a primarly windows network with windows servers and network shares. (Yes all the shares are NTFS formated)
We have six Desktop MACs OS X 10.5.4 added to this network and the MACs have loaded on them the complete Adobe CS4 suite.
The problem:
The issue happens when one of our users is attempting to drop a PSD file into an opened Indesign file.
They user opens the Indesign file first from the network share in folder1, the user the goes to folder2 and attempts to drag and drop a PSD into the Indesign file they get the error the file is already open.
So my first question what would be the most likly cause of this error?
Second question is we also have a program called AdmitMac loaded on the MACs for authenication with the servers.
Could this be interfering in anyway? AdmitMac uses Kerberos authenication, do the Adobe program recognise this Authenication type?

grmg,
There is nothing wrong with the ID file or the PSD file. If the user moves both files to their desktop the drag-n-drop function works just fine.
Even if just one of the files is on the desktop and the other on the network the drag-n-drop works fine.
The issue is when both files are on the network server, that is when we get the error.
Also it doesn't seem to matter what the file type is, the same thing occurs, if both files are on the Windows Server we get the "File already open" error
The Artist just need to make links in ID to the picture files until the final revision.
(We would perfer to keep the files on the server for backup purposes. In the past we have had one to many contractors come in to do work and they do everything on the desktop and when they leave they sometimes delete their desktop. As such the files never gets backed up.)
I need to know what tweak, change or update I can apply so that both files can be on the server and the Drag-n-Drop function still works.
thanks for the reply.

CS5.7 cannot open CS5.5 Indesign files

Hi, we have several designers located around the globe, that all need to be able to access & change the same design files, mostly Indesign. They are all using Applemacs, but all have different CS versions, i.e. CS5.5, 5.7 and 6.8.0.1. We already had problems where a 5.7 user couldn't open a file saved by a 5.5 user. If my logic serves me correct, newer versions of software should be able to open older versions' files, but the opposite would not be necessarily true. Or does CS operate differently?
Do you have any advice, please are they doing something wrong?
Thx!
Chris

Cannot add TV commercial .mpg file to encoder - error while decompressing source

Hello!
I'm attempting to add a .mpg file to the CS5 Media Encoder but receive the error "Error while decompressing the source file". This file was recorded and is being used as a TV commercial. Would this mean that the file has a different encoding/compression that makes it impossible for the Encoder to decompress? I'm stumped because It is a .mpg file, which should be accepted. I've attempted adding other .mpg files and have no trouble. Is there any way around this?
Thank you, in advance, for your help!
Best Regards,
Kathy

i think we should file a bug report through here with adobe premiere pro cs 5 as program.. anyway this is what i wrote:

When fonts are packaged, do these fonts only link up to the one InDesign file that was packaged?

I often work with InDesign client files that are different "versions" of the same file (the only change between these InDesign files maybe be a location name, but the rest of the file is the same (fonts, links, etc). So I'll have an InDesign file named as A version, one as B version, etc. When I open the A version of the file and package it for the printer, are those fonts (Document fonts) available to that specific InDesign file only? If I copy the other versions of InDesign files into that folder for the printer (rather than package each individual InDesign file, will those other InDesign files link to the collected Document folder? Or will I have to package each file separately?

Thanks for replying Steve. A man who worked at a press, told me that InDesign files always pulled fonts from the same folder first. My coworker thinks it's only the InDesign file that fonts were packaged for. Now I don't know for sure what he meant and I don't have a way to contact him again.
More experimentation on my part will be required and more packaging of files. Our Creative dept has 3 designers and when we work on each others files, there's always font issues unless the fonts have been packaged for each file. And don't get me started on Helveticas! Between system fonts, fonts used over the years, clients providing fonts... it's been a problem we've yet to solve... everyone using the same Helvetica font family.
Again, thanks Steve.

Cannot add multiple file screens on a specific path

I have a situation where the limitation of adding a single file screen to a specified path just doesn't work.
Using Windows Server 2008 R2 64Bit
We don't allow users to store things like images, video and audio on any server and we want to be notified whenever someone attempts to do so.
To that end we setup the email notification and it works great.
The problem is that now, we get a notification for some file types where we don't want notification, but because you can only setup a single file screen for a specific path, the notifications are sent, in the hundreds most of the time.
What I really need is the ability to create a file screen for images, videos, audio and executable files that will send notification to the person responsible for ensuring users do not violate the usage policy, and a separate file screen for other
files that we have restricted because they simply create clutter and for the most part are automatically generated by the OS when the user logs into the domain ... things like desktop.ini and thumbs.db files. For these files, I do not wish to receive
notification because it isn't really a violation of the computer use policy so much as it is a restriction put in place to prevent unfettered clutter from filling the limited space we allocate for users.
Is there a solution that can be instituted that can make this happen?

Hi,
As you said we cannot set more than 1 file screen for a specific folder.
From your description you would like to stop the reports for some default files like desktop.ini, thumbs.db etc, how about add them into Exception list in the file screen you created for that folder? This seems to be the only workaround in current situation.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

Cannot deploy process flow package specification from file

Its woked fine for me for OWB 10.2.0.4 .... some steps are missing from code like
when you are connecting again it should be
OMBDISCONNECT
OMBCONNECT CONTROL_CENTER $CONN_TARGET_RT
OMBDISCONNECT
OMBCC '/KLINGEL_DWH'
OMBCONNECT CONTROL_CENTER $CONN_TARGET_RTI think you can try the same on different system .

Cannot add cover for one specific CD

Hi there,
I am facing a rather strange problem: I cannot add a cover to a specific album. It´s strange: It somehow does not save the cover at for this album while other CDs in the same path are perfectly storing the covers.
I already controlled the access rights, the filenames and everything I thought about. But nothing leads to success... Can anybody think of any cause?
The path to the album is "..../So Far So Good So What". Under this directory, the mp3 files can be seen. Nothing really special, no special character in any filename, nothing else I can think of...
Greets,
Michael

I just managed to solve it. The "album" tag of the songs was "So Far, So Good... So What". After both removing the "," between "Far" and "So" as well as the three dots, I could add the cover.
Could somebody please try to explain why this may happen?

An error has occurred while updating article layouts. The InDesign file for the layout cannot be...

When trying to complete the tutorial for indesign I get the following error when trying to add an article to my folio:
"An error has occurred while updating article layouts. The InDesign file for the layout cannot be found."
I am able to create the folio then I click into articles. My document "WiFi_v.indd" is open when clicking add article, but I keep getting this error message.
I am using the following versions of the software (Should be the latest).
- Folio Builder (Downloaded version Version 1.1.8.0)
reported version:
11.4.3.20111129_m672305 7.5.5.17
Adobe In Design 7.5.2 CS 5.5
Also tried reinstalling the plugins (uninstall + install)

If you're on Mac OS with the OS in another language than english the "User" folder might contain a non english character and causing problems.
I e in Sweden the Mac OS user-folder is called "Användare". When attempting uploading articles from a file locaded anywere this "Användare" is in the file path the Folio producer says Error finding InDesign layout, due to -what i think is-the "ä" in Användare. If you still want to work local you can place the InDesign files directly into the Macintosh HD. In this case the User folder is not used.

A client has sent me an indesign file I cannot open. She says she has updated to Indesign CC 2014. I am a CC member and fully updated my own software but cannot open the file she has sent me, not even if she saves as an IDML, how do I resolve the problem?

There are a few things to try.
First, if this file came to you vial email attachment, it could have been corrupted. Ask her to zip the file and send it again. That sometimes helps.
I suppose there's a chance that the file is already zipped, so see if that's the case and unzip it if so.
If the file name doesn't end with .indd, add it and see if that helps.
If you are double-clicking, try File>Open from within InDesign.
Last (and I know this sounds like a joke, but I've seen it many times), sometimes people attach a Mac Alias or Windows Shortcut instead of the actual file. What is the file size? If it's really small, that might be the reason.
Also, no offense intended if some of this sounds like stuff you have already tried. I don't know what you know, so I'm just spit-balling.
