How to Convert older Pagemaker Files to InDesign CC?

I have a number of older Pagemaker files from 1999-2001 that I would like to open in InDesign.   How do I accomplish this?  

You'll have to download InDesign CS6 (available as a CC subscriber). The method is described in this thread:
Pagemaker -> inDesing

  • How can I convert a PageMaker file to a .pdf?

    I have PageMaker 6.5 and pdfPro and can't seem to get either (or both) to convert a PageMaker file to a .pdf.  Help?

    Sorry, but I don't know what pdfpro is. ¿Could you please indicate your OS, including version?

  • New problem opening Pagemaker files with InDesign

    I have quite a lot of archive files made in Pagemaker 6 and 7 and now use InDesign CS2. Until recently I could open pagemaker files from InDesign then save them as InDesign files and away I went.
    But now I am just getting an error message saying the document is damaged and cannot be recovered. First off I thought it really was a damaged document but then realised all my old .pmds were saying the same.
    Is there a known issue maybe with a recent upgrade of InDesign or something?
    I would really love to be able to access my old pmds!!
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Yes Joel you're right - XP and recently installed SP3.
    Just pondering the best way forward.
    I'm responsible for the IT for a small charity with 8 staff members.
    I have Master Suite CS3 and use a variety of the programmes but the other staff members are only using InDesign and MS Office.
    We're not a high end design set up but producing all the sort of leaflets, posters bits and pieces that we need day to day. 
    Decided to upgrade to Office 2010 and to do that I had to install SP3.
    Stuck with ID2 for everyone else (and went to great lengths to buy some extra licenses to do so) because opening an ID2 file with ID3 creates a new file which is a big nuisance and it's expensive to upgrade across the board (even with charities having access to educational licensing concessions).
    Fact of life is we do tend to have quite long-lived files and I will go on wanting to open pagemaker ones for some time to come.
    I probably only want to convert a pmd once a month I guess - it's just suddenly a huge nuisance not to be able to do those few ...
    I can't roll back to SP2 because of Office 2010.
    I could re-set one workstation wtih XP2, Office XP and InDesign CS2 purely to be able to convert pmds. Again, nuisance and ties up a licence on a little-used machine.
    I could bite the bullet and move everyone over to InDesign CS3 - will I definitely be able to open pmds from there?
    Ah, just thought - I have an ID3 licence but not loaded on my computer. If I load that and use it just for opening pmds then export them for backwards compatibility with ID2 like this http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/5.0/help.html?content=WSa285fff53dea4f86173837510 01ea8cb3f-6d4d.html will I then be a happy bunny?
    Would be glad of expert comment before I start faffing about!
    Thanks

    Although i have seen a few programs (that are platform specific) that will embed a small jvm into an exe with your class file, it is generally excepted that you cannot create an executable file using java. The JAR executable file is probably the closest your going to get

  • How to convert java class file version without decompiling

    Hi,
    Oracle R12.1.3 i am having illegal access error while try to access the class file version Java 1.3 uses major version 47,So how to convert the class file version without using decompiling.
    Current java version is 1.6.0_07
    Is there any tool or API for converting class file version?
    Thanks,

    Beside this I wonder where you get your error from since AFAIK 12c comes with java 1.6.
    Well wonder no more!
    OP isn't using Oracle 12c database.
    They are using Oracle R12.1.3 - which is the E- Business Suite.

    how to convert a class file to exe file

    Hi Bhaskarq,
    Hi,
    It is not at all possible.
    But it is a really worst method.
    Please go through it.
    This is a very common question asked in the comp.lang.java newsgroup. Its often useful to have an
    executable application when deploying your
    applications to a specific platform, but remember to
    make your .class files available for users running
    Unix/Macintosh/other platforms.
    Microsoft provide a free system development kit (SDK),
    for Java, which includes the jexegen tool. This
    will convert class files into a .EXE form. The only
    disadvantage is that users need a Microsoft Java
    Virtual Machine (JVM) installed. If your target
    platform is Win32, you can either redistribute the
    virtual
    machine, or raise the level of your system
    requirements, to include Windows 98, or Windows 95
    with
    Internet Explorer 4. Systems matching these
    requirements will already have a copy of the Microsoft
    Java Virtual Machine installed.
    Note : You must specify all of the class files your
    application needs (except for standard java packges)
    as a parameter, so if you have third party libraries,
    you'll need to include them as well. You can use wildcards * though, and you don't need the original source code.
    Also please see this Forum which will give a good idea

    I hope this will help you.

  • Does anyone know how to convert an XML file to a readable file?

    All,
    I have been using an APP called "SMS Backup & Restore" to backup my message conversations to my Laptop PC.  It works fine BUT the backup file, once in my PC, has an XML extent such as "filename.XML"
    I would like to read and/or print and/or save the text message file so does anyone know how to convert the XML file to something else so it shows all the messages without all the formatting instructions.   
    When I try to see the XML file it shows all the formatting.  If I replace the .XML with .TXT that too shows all the formatting mixed in with the text message narrative.
    When I look at the XML file in SMS Backup & Restore in the Charge phone it looks great showing all the messages just as they were on the phones display.  The problem with this is that there is no way to print or read or save the messages as they appear in the file from the phone itself.  I tried screen capture but if you have, let's say, a 28 message conversation you have to do 7 or 8 screen captures to get them all.
    If only I could convert the XML in my PC to something that is printable or savable or readable that would be the "cats meow."
    Anyone know how???

    PS, You might take a look at my related post.

    Ann154,
    You were correct again.  I deleted everything I had done to date and re-did the entire SMS backup of my 28 message conversation again and YES I was able to open it using IE-8.  It looks great and it prints great and life is good!  I am going to go make a donation.
    Thanks again for the help.  I marked this thread as answered by you.

  • How to convert a PDF file into a full editable WORD file?

    Hi,
    I tried to convert a pdf file into word but it is not fully editable. I can edit the title from the main page and that's it. The rest of the word document is saved as image. I tried editing teh pdf file but that one is not working either.
    Please help on how to convert a PDF file into a full editable WORD file.
    Thank you

    Not all PDF files are created equal.  When a PDF file is created with Adobe Tools it is usually "tagged" with information about the fonts the images, the layout etc...    This way when the PDF is saved to a new format like PPT or DOC then the results are usually usable.  However, if you have a PDF file that was not tagged for some reason then run the Accessibility tools on the PDF to acquire some basic tagging.  This may get you a better result.  Also if you have a PDF that is an image, then you may want to run OCR on it.

    Hello,
    For converting xml file to html, we could refer to the way shared in the following thread which uses an XSLT stylesheet to transform the XML into another format using the
    XslTransform class.

  • How to import a PSD file into Indesign WITH layers so it can be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

    How to import a Photoshop file into Indesign CS6 so that it's layers show in InDesign and it can then be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

    MyTienN wrote:
    Someone had mentioned the possibility of saving each individual layer in Photoshop as a png file and importing into Indesign and adjusting it in there
    What do you mean by "adjust"? Editing of Photoshop images should be done in Photoshop.
    Sure, it's possible to save individual layers from an image in Photoshop as inidvidual files in a variety of formats, but what's the point? You could just as easily import the layered file, then copy/paste it into a new layer for each layer in the image and use layer visibility to control which ones show. I don't think that will do you a lot of good, though, if you use adjustment layers or opacity controls on the layer in Photoshop.

  • How to convert a Excel file to a text file

    Hi,
    Anyone knows how to convert a excel file to a test file in java.
    Thanks
    John

    hi
    The question is not easy to respond. The easy way is to use the excel program itself! You can read the contents of an excel file using jdbc. Have a look at javaworld for an introduction (�It�s Excel-lent�). Another approach is to use a native library like JExcelApi. Have a look at http://www.andykhan.com/jexcelapi/index.html

  • How to convert .tod extension files

    how to convert .tod extension files for use in final cut pro

    DLewis from rocklin wrote:
    Unfortunately you can not convert .TOD file extensions for Final Cut Pro to use.  The .TOD is something proprietary that JVC used a few years ago.  The best thing to use is MPEG Streamclip and convert the .TOD files to a Quicktime file using the AIC codec from the convert settings in the MPEG Streamclip program. 
    Good advice, except for the AIC codec part. The native codec for FCP X is ProRes. Use ProRes 422.
    (AIC was used by FCE and is still used by iMovie; while you can use it with FCP X, it is not the preferred codec).

    >But, from the windows explorer, if i do a right clic on the word document, with the context menu, i can directly convert to PDF
    This is equivalent to using the PDFMaker facility in Word - that is,
    the Acrobat button. Which is also the same thing that is done when you
    use File > Create PDF > From File in Acrobat.
    What it does is print to a PS file *and* do a lot of additional
    processing to write stuff about links, tags etc. into the PS file.
    >(no tmp PS file is used, cause the links are still working).
    This isn't true, but it's certainly the case that you won't get links.
    There seems to be no API, via any mechanism, still less the "obsolete"
    (Microsoft's view) command line, to use PDFMaker from your program.
