How to link the InDesign CS5 file to the XML file?

We are putting together a product catalog.
The following link will give you the template indesign file, the xml file and the pdf of the sample spreads.
https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/0465a99b6ce6b1fd44f12fc26547a38820130722220132/9a813c b215e9cca78bdbe5bc7e3a94e020130722220132/d8c160
We don't know where we are missing a step.
Would anyone be able to look over the files and see what we're missing?
Once we want to tie the xml to the indesign, what is the procedure?
We have to get a 400 page catalog done in a month so I would really appreciate any help.
Thank you.

Sharda,
Was this ever published using XML? It doesn't appear so to me. It looks like a lot of manual layout (a reflected layout) and doesn't use paragraph styles and few character styles (even though there seem to be a lot of them created.
Was this at one time a datamerge versus an XML job?

How to open an InDesign CS5 file in CS4 - error message.

I worked on a file in Mac's OS Adobe CS5 InDesign
at school; emailed it to my home address; tried to open it in Windows
XP Adobe CS4 (I've done the same thing with other InDesign
files recently without problems) and received the following error message:
"Cannot open "file name". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign." To the left is a list of 18 (!) plug-ins.
Of course when I click "OK" I'm sent back to a blank .indd screen.
Solutions? Suggestions? More info needed?
Any and all assistance will be appreciated.

Thank you, Scott;
I'll give this a try when I return to class on Thursday. I am puzzled that other InD CS5 files have opened in CS4 after a message that "some data may be lost" - which I have clicked "OK", edited the file and emailed it back to school to open in CS5. Oh, well, if this works I'll use it on all the CS5 files that I create in class.
I appreciate your email.

InDesign CS5 file is crashing during Package - Carbonite the reason?

I recently downloaded Carbonite to try it. Now I can't seem to package my InDesign CS5 files. I am on a PC. I get the Document Font and Link Files, but my actual .indd file never completes the Package process. I need to use the Windows Task Manager to close InDesign. Then when I re-open it I get the error message that it is trying to recover my file. Then InDesign hoses up again. I turned off Carbonite, but I can't get InDesign to stop looking or trying to recover the file. Any suggestions? I have a customer waiting....... (PS - I am scrubbing Carbonite)

I've been running Carbonite for 6 months with no problems.
I think you need to look elsewhere for the problem.

Acrobat 9 Pro - Batch Create Multiple Files from InDesign CS5 files

When attempting to batch create PDFs from Indesign CS5 files using Acrobat Pro 9's File>Create PDF>Batch Create Multiple Files ... option the operation fails with the error 'Could not find the application that created this file: [path to file] Please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer.' as shown in the screenshot below:
Acrobat 9 Professional was bundled with Creative Suite 5 Design Standard so shouldn't this work? My machine is running OS X 10.6.7, Acrobat Pro 9.44 and InDesign CS5 7.04.
Any help to solve this issue would be most gratefully received - this feature had previously saved me a lot of time on my old machine with 10.5.8, Acrobat Pro 9 and CS4.

I have uploaded the files and shared them. These are the links

The first file is the problem file. If you create this file separately, Acrobat will convert it perfectly. But "Batch create multiple files" and the graphics are deconstructed on page 8

Corrupted InDesign CS5 files

Hi, I have a few corrupted indesign CS5 files - had to recover them from my laptop. However, now when I try to open them I get "corrupted file" "error 5". Does anyone know how I can open these.
I have tried opening as a copy etc, but to no avail. Thanks in advance.

Error Code 5 is basically a flatline.
You could try a service like Markzware, see if they recover your file by converting it to quark and back again (I know seems like a very wrong work flow).
But I've heard of this working in the past. I think they'll do the conversion for you and if it works you will need to pay the going rate for the files back (not 100% sure on how they work but that's my understanding)

Acrobat and InDesign CS5 file issue

Hi everyone...
My issue is that Acrobat won't or can't convert InDesign CS5 files. It opens Illustrator and Photoshop and converts them to pdf's but not InDesign.
I've tried everything. I've even tried Adobe tech help. No luck. It was a relatively easy procedure in CS4, not to mention a time saver.
Is there someone that knows how to resolve this? Please help as I'm desperate to avoid having to convert all my InDesign files one at a time.

Hi Matthew-
Our workflow often involves combining multiple IND files into a pdf. With CS4, we merely opened acrobat, clicked "Merge Files into a Single PDF" and dropped in the indesign files we wished to combine. Presto- we had one PDF with all IND files put together without having to go through indesign.
In response to your post, I only have CS5 installed, and it seems as though Acrobat doesn't recognize ID CS5 as a program at all. I believe I am current on all InDesign and Acrobat 9 updates to date - I'm running InDesign7.0.2 and Acrobat 9.3.4.
When trying to open IND files through Acrobat, Acrobat launches and gives an error message that states: "Please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer."
Acrobat can't call InDesign CS5 to open at all. Could this be because Acrobat was not updated along with the CS5 suite and therefore doesn't recognize the new CS5 Indesign files?
I read another blog that mentioned it could be a registry problem- they ran CCleaner and ran the registry fix. Then uninstalled and reinstalled both Acrobat and Indesign. What are your thoughts on this method? It's hard for me to try this on my own, as it requires an administrative login- our IT department has us locked out. I would like another opinion before I ask them to help.
Do you forsee a fix from Adobe in the future?
Thanks for your help!

Restoring a "mini save" to OPEN InDesign cs5 file through InDesign Recivery

using time machine, can I go back to a previously OPEN (not saved) indesign cs5 file to get to the "mini save" of the file? the file was open as time machine was running (overnight)
A tech person didn't save the changes I made to the indesignfile before restarting my computer, so right now on the hard drive there is no recovery data I can use.
Looking in the time machine back-ups, It looks like there is no "cache" in the "library" in any of the time machine saves. (so there is no "InDesign Recovery" file, right?) why not? isn't time machine making an exact copy of my hard drive?

Hi hasvi,
Need Template(.indt), textframes etc for the following script:
var myFolderInd = Folder.selectDialog();
var myFile = myFolderInd.getFiles("*indt");
app.open(myFile)
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myDocName = myDoc.name;
var mySaveFile = app.activeDocument.save(myFolderInd.fsName + "/" + myDocName.split(".indt").join(".indd"));
var myFolderDoc = Folder.selectDialog();
var myFile1 = myFolderDoc.getFiles("*doc");
mySaveFile.pages[0].textFrames[0].place(File(myFile1))
//~ mySaveFile.place(File(myFile1))
app.activeDocument.textPreferences.smartTextReflow = true;
var myPDFFile = new File(mySaveFile.filePath + "/" + mySaveFile.name.split(".indd").join(".pdf"))
myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File("~/Desktop/abc.pdf"));
alert("Process Completed")

How to get the XML file if we are using the Product short name.

Hi,
Till now I have used Short name of the Concurrent Program for Code while creating a Data Definition. Now saw a seeded template which has given the Code by Product short name. If we have the concurrent program then it is easy to refer the fields by checking the XML file. In this case how to find the XML file or how to refer all the fields if we have given code with Product short name. I saw this for iReceivables(ARI). Anybody please help me.
Thanks.

Hi Siva
Just to clarify, rather than the short name of the conc program there is a shipped data definition that just uses the product short name? What is the data def so I can check it.
Regards, Tim

How to link the main site menu to an anchor on a subpage?

How to link the main site menu (masterpage) to an anchor possition on a subpage? Is that possible. I would like the the contact menu to link to specific anchors location contact FAQ hours. The way I do it now. I have to create seperate html pages, I would rather do it on one page. Thanks
http://beta.tmj-sleep.ca/index.html

Hello,
To link a website Menu to anchors on any page in the website, you need to create a manual menu using the Menu Widget. You can change Menu to a manual Menu by clicking on the white arrow in Blue Circle which comes up at the top right of the Menu (Menu properties) and select the Menu type as Manual. Please have a look at the screenshot below :
Now you can add change/add the text there and when you select the text/menu item then from the Hyperlink drpdown at the top in the toolbar, you can select the name of the anchor on any page of your website.
Anchors are listed in Hyperlink dropdown in this format - Page Name:Anchor Name.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sachin
