Content generation error. Failed to open the InDesign file.

Hey all -
In importing an article to a folio, I just received this error:
"Content generation error.
Failed to open the InDesign file. Please confirm the file can be opened in InDesign."
The file is open right now in InDesign. I can close it and reopen it with no errors.
I've tried resaving the article to a new file. No help.
I tried creating a new folio and importing the article there. No help.
All links are good. It's a simple file with images, a scrolling pane, and some buttons that link to other articles.
Anyone else run into this problem? Any solutions?
Thanks!

Im getting this error also....?
Want to avoid inporting each artical on at a time. Need to import multiple articals at once.
Thanks.

  • Content generation error. Please confirm the file can be opened in InDesign?

    I have been trying to upload a couple of files to a folio that was built yesterday, everytime I try to upload one of them I recieve the error message "Content generation error.Failed to open the InDesign file. Please confirm the file can be opened in InDesign." I have no idea why this is happening as one of the files was successfully uploaded to the folio yesterday and I have not made any changes to it since. I have a also restarted and trashed InDesign preferences so there are no problems there. If anyone has any answers or has experienced any similar problems could you please let me know.
    Thanks
    Adam Flanagan

    That was the first thing I tried because obviously I wanted to find out if it was a problem with my file or a general issue with all uploads to that folio. It seems to be working ok now, although I still have no idea what the problem was and I have never seen that error message before :s
    Thanks for your response.

  • Failed to open the PDF file

    I have to place a large number of PDF files. Sometimes I get an error: "Failed to open the PDF file". In the InDesign Forum I found that this also happens in the GUI from time to time and that the workaround is to turn on the Show Import Options. But this is obviously not an option for me.
    Is there any alternative?
    Thank you, Ralf

    When you retry, is it always the same PDF?
    Otherwise I'd play around like
    - catch the error
    - perform some potential cleanup of resources (files, memory), e.g. SaveAs, or a Close-Reopen cycle
    - retry the same PDF

  • 'failed to open the PDF file' error - Indesign CS3 on Mac

    Hi,
    Whenever I place PDFs that were created by any other app besides indesign or Illustrator I get a 'failed to open the PDF file' error, previously these PDFs were fine to place but all of a sudden they're not... Help?
    I'm not too keen on opening in Illustrator and resaving for the rest of the foreseeable future either...

    Hi;
    Everytime i try to update an article within a folio in DPS folio builder i get this error :

    [Error: Failed to Export the PDF file.]
    My colleague next to me is running exactly the same set up and doesnt get the error. in fact his update anf sideloading is fast as lightning.
    the ONLY difference is that im running v28 tools and he is on v27, however wehave another colleague running v28 and his updates work perfectly.
    Any ideas lovely community?

    [Error: Unable to access the output directory. The directory is not writable, so the folio cannot be saved.]
    This means?
    This is fun BTW. Two days and two different silly errors applying themselves arbitrarily. Yesterday was the network, today its this.

    heres the fix i used for on a Mac
    1. While in the Finder, select the menu command Finder > Preferences.
    2. In the General panel, ensure the option "Connected Servers" is selected under the heading "Show these items on the desktop:", then close the preferences dialog box.
    3. Choose the menu command Finder > Hide Others.
    4. Close all open Finder windows to ensure you can see all items on your desktop.
    5. If you locate what appears to be a mounted volume with the name "Users", Control + Click on its icon and choose the contextual menu command Eject "Users".
    6.  Add or update your article(s).
    7.  Cross fingers
    8. If doesn't work ask for a refund

  • Creation of Recovery Disks - 'Failed to open the following file" Error

    Greetings All,
    I am in the process of trying to create a Recovery Disk Set for a Client's *Satellite L300 - PSLB8A-07U004*.
    While the application opens and begins the creation of the disk set, it has, three times now, failed at with the error message of *"Failed to open the following file. D:\!V5_01_07.VRP (Error Code: 020123-F1-00000000)".*
    I did attempt this process the first time while the all the client's data was still loaded.
    I have now done a 'Restore to 'Out of the box experience' because I thought one of those files might be the cause but, alas, the error was repeated.
    Obviously this is irritating (to say the least).
    I have NOT made any change to the layout or sizing of partitions.'
    Any thoughts?
    rampant_rhino

    Thank you both for your responses.
    You were on the right track.
    I was attempting to use a 'dodgy' brand (SKY-Silver) of DVD-R for the creation of the disk set.
    On changing over to TDK disks, the problem did NOT repeat.
    Strangely enough, the dodgy ones worked great for creating copies of the set once it was completed.
    Again, thanks to you both.

  • NZ Library Error: Failed to open the wallet

    I installed Oracle Http Server (Apache 2 distributed with Oracle 11g database software) in the same server (but in a different Oracle home) where I had installed Oracle 11g. The installation was fine. However, I haven't been able to start the Http Server at all. When I checked all the logs, I finally found the following error. What do I need to do?

    I know it has been a long time since anyone has posted on this thread but I am hoping that Jay_Kard might get notified.
    I have had almost exactly the same problem.  I have about 50 reports that are available to users through InfoView, they have been around for a year or more.  Suddenly a few weeks ago two of them stopped working, the users get the "Failed to make the connection" error.
    I am using Crystal Reports 11.5 and Crystal Reports Server 11.5 with an ODBC connection to a SQL Server 2005 database.  The 2 reports that are not working both use a series of dynamic prompts for the users to enter report parameters, but so do the others that continue to work well.  Before reading this thread I had already tried a lot of the suggestions from this thread, I can't get anything to work.  The ODBC DSN on the server is set up and named exactly like the DSN that I use for development, I have rebuilt the dynamic prompts used on these reports, I can't get these 2 reports to work.
    One other odd thing is that I, with admin rights to all reports in InfoView, can view these failing reports both from Crystal and from InfoView following the same path as my users to access the reports.  I don't know if that will help anyone figure out the problem.
    Jay, if you happen to read this I would love to know if you were able to get your problem resolved, I may need the same solution.
    Thanks.

  • Folio Builder: An error has occurred opening the source file for the article layout.

    I have been working on a Folio. When I sat down to work on my folio, I was instructed by indesign to update my Folio producer tools, which I did.
    Since then I can no longer view any article layout from that folio in indesign. Indeed any folio that I create that does not reside on my desktop give the same problem. I can import articles, add articles and they all upload to the proper place at adobe and I can view them. But I simply cannot open them up through folio builder as I previously.
    The exact error message is as below:
    An error has occurred opening the source file for the article layout.
    The InDesign file for the layout cannot be found.
    Another strange thing that seems to be happening is that the folio will randomly reoder the articles in the folio.
    I have dumped my indesign prefs, tried creating an entirely new project, made a new account and even reinstalled the entire software.
    But the problem of opening an article that I have imported or added to a folio, simply not being found to open has got me stumped. I can't proceed with a major project until I can sort this out.
    Can anyone help.
    Many thanks
    Steve

  • "An error has occurred opening the package file" in InCopy

    Hi there,
    I have created an InCopy package file from InDesign CS3 (Mac).  I am able to open this package file in InCopy CS3 (Mac) without error.  However, two editors working in InCopy CS4 (Windows) on different machines receive the following error message when trying to open the .incp file:
    "An error has occurred opening the package file"
    I have read AnneMarie's excellent cautionary tales about working in a mixed CS3 / CS4 environment, but my understanding was that simply opening the initial .incp file was unlikely to produce an error.
    Can anyone suggest what might be causing the error?  Should we conclude that the error stems solely from a CS3 / CS4 conflict?
    Thanks!
    --Stephen

    Great tip about the masked filetype, I hadn't realized these packages were so easily extractable.
    However, the error message you're receiving is adding a new layer of complexity.  A quick search on these forums reveals this thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2278850
    That thread suggests to me that the error may be related to Snow Leopard.  We're using Mac OS 10.5.7 here at work.  Could I trouble you to open the file on your Windows machine to attempt to replicate the same error we're receiving in Windows here?
    And are there any known issues that could prevent a user from opening a package file?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Following solution might help you to resolve the issue.
    Solution1:
    Issue happens because universe connection to the Database is not responding and the Data Source Name is not configured to write SQL Server 2005 database.
    Resolution
    Created new DSN connection under SYSTEM DSN to SQL Server 2005 Database.
    Import the universe from the designer.
    Go to File->Parameters.
    Edit Connection.
    On the Database Middleware Page expand SQl Server 2005->Select SQL Server 2005 driver.
    Change the DSN to new DSN connection
    Test the connection.
    Save the Universe and Export it to the repository.
    Solution2:
    I am taking Oracle as an example over here.
    This can be caused when the SQLNET.ora is located in a remote location using mapped drives.
    Resolution
    To resolve,
    check the registry [HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE] you should see a folder called HOME0
    look for any paths that contain a mapped drive partition
    Change the mapped drive letter to a UNC path (
    server\folder)
    Open a command prompt and do a tnsping using the tnsname and verify the location of the SQLNET.ora or TNSNAMES.ora
    If the path is not updated to the new path
    Reboot the server

  • Getting Error:Failed to open the connection while calling crystal report

    I am getting the below error while calling the crystal report from dot net app. I am using OLEDB to connect to database. It is working perfectly in our DEV environment but as soon as I move it to production information after changing the logon information in the report it start giving the below error.
    Failed to open the connection.C:\WINDOWS\TEMP{C2FD97D9-2ADE-41BB-88FF-23A4DF20BC6F}.rpt
    Details: [Database Vendor Code: 17 ]

    Are you able to connect to the database from the production machine using a UDL file?
    If you haven't tried this, here's how to do it. Take these steps on the machine that is hosting the application. Create a new text file on the desktop. Change the file extension to ".udl" (without the quotes). Double-click on this to bring up the OLEDB connection test: start on the Provider tab and select the appropriate provider. Click "Next" and on the following tab enter your connection information. Click the "Test Connection" button to test the connection. Does it connect  to the database successfully?
    If you click on "OK" to close the dialog and then open the UDL file with Notepad, you should see an OLEDB connection string. In this string should be the same property values for server, database, user id and password which you are providing through your application. If they are not the same, modify your application to use these values.
    If testing your connection information with the UDL file works but your application is still failing when using the same credentials, try profiling or tracing the database. Do you see connection attempts from the application? Are there any errors?
    If you're impersonating, have you set up windows authentication correctly for both the application and the database?
