How do I open/download an InDesign file/template from Safari? Is there a plug-in/extension required?

I came across a website with downloadable InDesign templates. However; Safari opens a page full of question marks and other marks instead of opening the file in InDesign. Is there a plug-in or extension required in order to download an InDesign file from the Safari browser?

You can right click the download link then select "Download Linked File As..." from the context menu.

  • Can't open files saved from Safari

    In SL, I have a new problem with files that are saved from Safari.
    I first noticed it with an Automator service I made, which took selected text and made a text file out of it. But I eventually discovered the problem seemed to be with Safari. Any time Safari saves a file -- if for example, I click a link and it downloads a .zip file, then there is something wrong with that file that prevents me from opening it in another app.
    When I try to open the saved file, either by double-clicking in the Downloads window or from the Finder, the target app just starts bouncing in the dock and never opens. I have to force-quit it. If the target app is already open, it switches to it but never opens the document.
    This is only for files that were saved by Safari. Other PDF's and zip's open just fine.
    And, if I manually launch the target app, and then go to Open... and navigate to the saved document, I can open it fine.
    Files saved from Safari seem to have something wrong with them. If I quit Safari, logout, or even reboot, they still refuse to open by double-clicking.
    What could be causing this?

    Reset safari
    Safari/Reset Safari
    Go to Your HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and remove to trash the "AdobePDFViewer.plugin".
    Open Safari and a .pdf and it should now open with Preview in a Safari/Browser window.
    If not then re download

  • Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them; I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first.

    Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

  • How do I open a CC InDesign 2014 to Indesign CC? It won't open on InDesign CC

    How do I open a CC InDesign 2014 to Indesign CC? It won't open on InDesign CC

    Hi jesslucia2,
    Are you facing issue opening files created on CC2014 on CC version, If yes then you can follow the following article. You have to save the files in IDML format in order to open them in older versions.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/save-indesign-files-previous-versions.html
    If you have CC version installed , you can also try to upgrade to CC2014 version from Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App and open the files without any problem.
    Thanks,
    Nikhil Gupta

  • InDesign CS3 crashes without error when opening any 2nd InDesign file

    Issue: InDesign CS3 crashes without error and remains resident in memory if we have an InDesign file open and attempt to open a second InDesign file.
    OS: Win XP SP2
    InDesign Version: 5.0.2
    Hardware: Dell Precision WorkStation T3400, 4 gigabytes of memory, Intel Core2 Quad processor Q6600
    Details: No messages in the event viewer about the problem. We renamed the InDesign Defaults and the InDesign Saved Data file. We removed Creative Suite, restarted and then reinstalled Creative Suite (I could not remove and reinstall InDesign individually). We have created a new Windows profile for this user. I have one computer having the trouble. Other InDesign installations are working fine. This computer has 559 files in C:\windows\fonts. Other people that are not having the problem have a larger number of fonts installed.
    The issue is not file specific. We are not running out of memory as I checked the task manager after the first InDesign document is open.
    Why is opening a second document different than opening the first document?

    Hello Peter and Josh,
    I'd just like to assert that I am having the exact same problem as Josh. I've spent the time to go through the steps listed above and have found the same results.
    The issue as we see it multiple times daily is as follows:
    (1) User opens File1 (everything works fine)
    (2) User goes to open File2 (via explorer or via file->open) or print File1
    (3) The User Interface for ID disappears (InDesign.exe still appears in Task Manager and is NOT listed as "Not Responding", ID does not appear in the Task Bar)
    (4) The only way to continue work is to End Task/End Process InDesign.exe and relaunch.
    No error messages appear, no error logs are created(that I can find). Non-related concerns caused us to upgrade this users PC. With a completely new install we are still having the problems. The systems are listed as follows:
    OS: Win XP SP2 (fully updated minus SP3)
    InDesign Version: 5.0.2
    Newest Hardware: Custom Built Computer, 4GB RAM installed (3.24 recognized by windows), Intel Core2 Quad processor Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz
    OS: Win XP SP2 (fully updated minus SP3)
    InDesign Version: 5.0.2
    Older Hardware: Custom Built Computer, Intel D945GTP Motherboard, 2GB RAM installed, Intel Pentium D processor @ 2.8Ghz
    Troubleshooting:
    (1) Alt+Space and M then using arrow keys moves every other window the user had opened other than In-Design. The user has two monitors. (a) 1280x1024 and (b) 1200x1600 (yes she uses the monitor rotated 90 degrees
    (2) Log files - Non exist in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3 folder. I've also done a search across the entire hard drive for any "*.log" files, none of which were adobe related.
    (3) Default Printer - Changing the default printer to Adobe PDF is not really an option. I was able to convince the user to temporarily switch to a different networked printer and await the results (most likely today or tomorrow it should recreate)
    (4) /3GB switch - Getting that last 700 something MB of memory isn't an issue. I've run MemTest.exe on all the available system memory overnight in a "burn in" test. The system ran fine the sticks were nice and warm when I got in from all the hard work :)
    (5) Order of Opening - The problem repeates regardless of order. The trick seems to be opening File2 or printing File1 (I had the user only work on one file at a time (required her to close any open files before opening the next, that wasn't fun for my user but the system didn't crash on opening in this scenario, just on printing. Obviously not a permanent work around)
    Any help here would be much appreciated as this has been plaguing us for months now.

  • How do I open a new original file on adobe

    How do I open a new original file on adobe, and how do I merge exiting files under one title.

    The iOS reader doesn't create pdfs. Adobe does sell a CreatePDF app.
    The iOS reader does not merge pdfs any more than the Reader for Mac or PC. I cannot find any reference to the CreatePDF merging two different pdfs.
    Adobe does a have a web createpdf service that does combine pdfs into one pdf (createpdf.acrobat.com), but I doubt it would work from an iOS device. But you could ask the the acrobat.com forum.

  • How do I open a raw NEF file in Photoshop cs6? [was: Raw Files]

    How do I open a raw NEF file in photoshop cs6?

    Browse to the folder in Bridge, then right-click Open in Camera Raw, then in ACR, Open.
    Or if you’re already in Photoshop: File or Photoshop if on a Mac / Open / browse to the file / Open.
    If you get an error that the format is not supported then either the camera is too new or you’ve used an obsolete version of Nikon products like Transfer or ViewNX to copy or view the NEFs and they are corrupted.
    Help / Updates is how you get the latest version of the Camera Raw plug-in.
    You can use a utility from here to fix the corruption:
