Damaged InDesign CC 2014 File

My Adobe InDesign CC 2014 file is "damaged and can't be recovered." Error Code 5. Now What?

Check out this page. INDDRecovery did its job well for me on Windows (CS3). There's also a tool --  Design Repair -- for Mac but I've never tested it.

  • Bridge CC is not showing Indesign CC 2014 file previews

    Bridge CC is not showing previews of InDesign CC 2014. I don't see an update for Bridge anywhere. What am I missing?

    Welcome to the forum,
    Not sure if it's the issue or if it will help, but you could try purging the cache, etc..
    http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/adobe-bridge-workspace.html
    Restore preferences
    Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
    Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
    Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.
    In the Reset Settings dialog box, select one or more of the following options:
    Reset Preferences
    Returns preferences to their factory defaults. Some labels and ratings may be lost. Adobe Bridge creates a new preferences file when it starts.
    Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache
    Purging the thumbnail cache can help if Adobe Bridge is not displaying thumbnails properly. Adobe Bridge re-creates the thumbnail cache when it starts.
    Reset Standard Workspaces
    Returns Adobe predefined workspaces to their factory default configurations.
    Click OK, or click Cancel to open Adobe Bridge without resetting preferences.
    If that does not help, you may try searching the Bridge forum or asking there.

  • Convert Indesign CC 2014 file to V9 file format.

    How do you convert the file created in InDesign CC2014 to the format that Indesign V9 can read?
    I tried “[Save As…]” in Indesign CC 2014, but non of the format shown in output format is for Indesign V9 compatible.

    You have three file format options with "Save As". One is for "IDML".
    Or "Export to IDML". Quite the same.
    You can open an IDML file with InDesign CS4 and above…

  • Will Indesign CC (9.0) open Indesign CC (2014) files

  • I am working on a file I created in Indesign CC 2014 and when I try to rearrange pages in the Pages menu or try to package the file, I get the spinning wheel for 20 mins. then it crashes. What should I do?

    Can anyone help? I started a 24 page document in Indesign CC 2014 and have been using the file off of a dropbox acct on my two machines (desktop and macbook pro). I need to rearrange some of the pages but when I try to drag and drop the pages in the Pages menu, I get the ominous spinning wheel...for about 20 mins at times. then It will just crash. The document doesn't have a tone of images. I've also tried to collect and package the file but get the same thing.
    What should I do?? Help!

    try the script at Adobe Community: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.
    I'd also try moving the pages to a new file, though I suspect that will crash too. Divide and conquer might work -- tray one of your operations on half the document at a time, then repeat by dividing any piece that fails, and so on, until you isolate a page, then use the same method to isolate an object (though it's possible you have a corrupt page).

  • InDesign 2014 files don't save in the same location as the original file

    The behavior in InDesign CC was to automatically save the file in the same location. I understand this is a new version, and saving my InDesign 2014 files should open a save dialogue. But I don't understand why InDesign seems unaware of the file's location. In this new version I have to navigate to the files location to overwrite, and that is taking extra time that the previous version did not require. Is there a way to restore the previous behavior. I have looked in Preferences, but I can't find a way to revert to the old behavior. Any advice would be appreciated. -Thanks.

    As Peter noted, it has ALWAYS been this way. It’s a one time thing.

  • .PDF Files blurred in InDesign CC 2014. They will still work if I try to do the same in InDesign CC

    .PDF Files blurred in InDesign CC 2014. They will still work if I try to do the same in InDesign CC. I prepare the original in microsoft word and save in a sub-directory as a .pdf. I then use the "Place" command to bring it into the document. Why does it work in CC by not in CC 2014?

    Is it an InDesign only issue or does the problem exist when you export a PDF from InDesign?
    Does it change when you change the display quality to high?
    Why do you prepare a PDF in Word for placing in InDesign. Are you aware when trash comes in trash comes out? Place in InDesign text from Word and style it with Paragraph and Character Styles inside InDesign and export from InDesign a correct PDF.

  • Can't associate INDD files with InDesign CC 2014 (Windows 7)

    After updating to CC 2014, I noticed that my file associations for all my Creative Cloud applications were pointing to the wrong places. I assume this is because the new updates are actually different versions of the application and installed as completely separate apps. I was able to adjust my PSD and AI files to point to their new CC 2014 counterpart just fine, but when I tried setting the file association for INDD files, I noticed that the file type did not show up in the Windows 7 control panel file association list. So, instead I went directly to an INDD file on my computer, right-clicked, selected "Open with...", clicked "Browse..." and navigated to "InDesign.exe." When I selected it and pressed OK, it failed to change the file association. Repeating the process has not helped and now the only way to open an INDD file is to drag and drop it into the workspace of InDesign CC 2014. After restarting my computer, the INDD file type is now showing up in the Windows 7 control panel file association list, but it still is not allowing me to change the association.

    No, I did not. I'm running the 2014 Release version of InDesign for Windows (see screenshot below). And as far as I'm aware, Adobe has not released another update to the 2014 release version. I used to have the older version of InDesign Creative Cloud installed as well (the version right before the 2014 release), but have since uninstalled it as didn't want or need two versions of InDesign. I may just try re-installing the 2014 release version and see if that fixes things.

  • 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.

  • Saving "[Converted]" files in InDesign CC 2014

    Creative Cloud installed InDesign CC 2014 for me, which is somehow different from InDesign CC. (I thought the whole reason for having Creative Cloud was to not worry about versions ever again, but I digress).
    Now, when I open my InDesign files, they appear as "filename.indd @ 100% [Converted]" and when I hit Command-S to save, I get sent to the "Save As..." window in a totally different directory from my original file.
    How do I prevent this from happening? i.e. I open an InDesign file, edit it, and then hit save, and it saves with no further interaction necessary.
    Thanks!

    If you are using OSX you might checkout the Default Folder utility—it lets you control the Save and Save As dialog directories.
    If not, I would give my user an option to overwrite using the older format to avoid any new-version "flakiness."
    You've never been able to back save InDesign files you have to first save as IDML to move backwards.
    I use this AppleScript to batch convert folders of ID files. The script asks for a folder and converts any ID files to CC2014 and copies the originals into an ~~Archive subfolder:
