How to open an InDesign file without .indd extension?

Hi,
I am trying to open an InDesign file which does not have the extension .indd.
I can open the file from InDesign's File-> Open menu item. But if I try to open programmaticaly it says the file format is not supported.
I tried using SDKLayoutHelper::OpenDocument and IDocumentCommands::CreateOpenCommand both gives the same error.
Thanks,

Thanks. My file was not proper. I am able to open the file without the extension.

All files without .indd extension corrupted

Being a Mac user, I never bothered appending the .indd extension to my InDesign files, because I never needed to (or so I thought). However, after working on lots of projects and archiving them to DVD, it seems that any InDesign files without the .INDD extension are now corrupt!
If I try to open any them, I'm given the unhelpful "Cannot open the file xxx. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application" message.
The files were originally created in CS2 on Mac OS 10.4.x (I think), but now I am using CS4 on Mac OS 10.6.x. I have tried adding the .indd extension (which gives the file it's InDesign icon, rather than a generic blank document icon) and opening it on the original Mac, but to no avail.
I have loads of these file, which are all exactly the same! Can anybody help, please?

It's not clear if you're trying to open the files by double clicking on them in Finder, by Right/Option-click > Open, Right/Option-click > Open with, by dragging them to the InDesign icon in the Dock, dragging them into the open InDesign workspace, or by using File > Open.
Are you using the same user account, same installation as the files were created with, and opening the un-renamed files on the old machine's hard drive (not on a network server or CD/DVD) with File > Open, or are you using another method? Do you get different results with different methods ? Do you get the same message on both the CS2 and CS4 installations on their respective machines?
Have you tried all of these on original files, not the renamed ones? Same or different results with any or all?
Have you been successful in creating a new InDesign CS4 file and saving it, closing it, then opening it by one or more of the above-mentioned methods? Results?

IDCS3_Saving files without .indd extension!

I am trying to save CMYK InDesign files to a "hot folder" on our network. The contents of the hot folder are converted to a Postscript file then processed through a computer that separates the color information and sends the info to 2 places: 1) a plate machine (creates plates for a web press) 2) a C.I.P. (color ink position) file that goes to the web-press' computer to tell it where the color needs to be. I can get plates to come out fine, however, the .indd extension seems to make the CIP files unreadable to the Press computer. How can I save the InDesign files without the .indd extension. If I simply delete the extension, it shows up anyway as it goes through the rip computer and adds a .ps extension at the end. (ex: CMX20080416A01.indd.ps / it needs to read:CMX20080416A01.ps <note: the .ps is added by the rip computer>) We are able to achieve this in CS2, but that was set up before I started here, and nobody else can seem to remember how it was done. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ADVICE/INSIGHT!

Easiest way would just be to strip them off in the Finder with a script. InDesign is probably dead intent on keeping them since they are the only true way to identify file type in OS X.
Activate folder actions on a folder on your Desktop
Attach this script action into ~/Library/Scripts/Folder Script Actions and attach it to the folder you created:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
tell application "Finder"
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
set myItems to every file of folder this_folder whose name extension = "indd"
repeat with thisItem in myItems
set trimmedName to name of thisItem
set trimmedName to characters 1 thru -6 of trimmedName
set trimmedName to trimmedName as string
set name of thisItem to trimmedName
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to
Duplicate the indd docs there and they should be renamed without .indd

How to open a xsl files without going trhough downloading process on MAC OS

I am able to open the same file in Safari but with Firefox, the document is automatically downloaded in xsl (it is a pdf) and I have to modify the extension in order to view it... very long...
How can I modify my preferences so that this type of files are open directly by Firefox ?

The Adobe PDF printer is no longer available in Snow Leopard. This is an announce to this fact at the entrance to the Acrobat Macintosh forum. The old methods for doing what you want will not work in Snow Leopard. I recommend you look at Quite Imposing. It can do everything you want and more. Alas, it comes at a price.

How to open an InDesign file from CMIS repository?

We are using CS SDK 2.0 , looking to use CMIS to keep versionning of .indd file. The uss case as following:
form our de4veloped InDesign pluging, user click a button
the button will open a .indd file from cmis repository
plugin check-out the file, open it within InDesign IDE
user make changes
user make save
the plugin export a pdf and swf files from the current document, if the files exists it will update, aslo on CMIS repo to keep also versions of exported pdf and swf, if files not exist in first time .. it will create
when user clos the document , it will check it in.
the problem there is no sufficent sample code for, even was thinking to use Adobe Drive, but there is no Adobe Drive SDK for Flex.
i used to fuse the sdk, but
private function getFileByPath(sPath:String):Fileable {
appStatus = ">> get File By Path";
message = "";
viewEnabled = false;
var request:GetObjectByPathRequest = new GetObjectByPathRequest(session);
var oFileable:Fileable;
request.path = sPath;
request.execute(onSuccess, onError);
function onSuccess (event:GetObjectByPathResponse) : void {
oFileable = event.object;
//var oDoc2:Document = new Document(event.object);
doc = event.object as Document ;
//children = new ArrayCollection(vectorToArray(event.target));
appStatus = ">> getFileByPath : Success";
viewEnabled = true;
return oFileable;
private function checkOutFile(oFile:Document):Document{
appStatus = ">> Check Out File";
message = "";
viewEnabled = false;
var request:CheckoutRequest = new CheckoutRequest(session);
request.object = doc;
var oDocument:Document;
request.execute(onSuccess, onError);
function onSuccess (event:CheckoutResponse) : void {
oDocument = event.object ;
appStatus = ">> Check Out File : Success";
viewEnabled = true;
return oDocument;
private function openTestFile():void {
                                        appStatus = "Open Test File";
                                        message = "";
                                        viewEnabled = false;
                                        var oFile:Fileable = getFileByPath("/Collaboration/test.indd");
                                        //var oDoc2:Document = new Document(oFile);
                                        var oDoc:Document = checkOutFile(doc);
i do not know what method in the CS SDK to open document fom active window and how to map CMIS Document to com.adobe.indesign Document ?

Dear Seoras
i fixed the to return the cmis path:
public function resolveRemotePath(file:File):String
                              if (file.nativePath.indexOf(LOCAL_FILE_CACHE.nativePath) != 0)
                                        return null;
                              var remoptePath:String =file.nativePath.substr(LOCAL_FILE_CACHE.nativePath.length);
                              trace("resolveRemotePath [11] : "+ remoptePath);
                              if(File.separator!="/") {
                                        //var pattern:RegExp = /(\/)/g;
                                        var pattern:RegExp = /(\\)/g;
                                        remoptePath = remoptePath.replace(pattern ,"/");
                                        trace("resolveRemotePath [22] : "+ remoptePath);
                              return remoptePath;
i have another issue, why everytime update the generated pdf it creates new pdf file with same name in the cmis repo .. does the pdf is not updatable over the cmis service ???

How to Open an Indesign file with a missing plugin

Is there a way to open a file that has a missing plugin?
This is the case:
We used an outside designer who is on CS5 indesign and teacup barcode software plugin cs5
We received his files saved back to CS4, but it is still telling us there is a missing plugin.
I'm assuming it is Teacup software. Is there a way around this??

You should try to be as accurate as possible when describing your situation. For example, you say the file was “saved back to CS4”. That is impossible. There is no way to save an InDesign CS4 file from any program except InDesign CS4. Do you mean that the designer exported an .idml file from InDesign CS5? If so, then say so. If you have been given an InDesign .indd file saved from InDesign CS5, then you have an InDesign CS5 file, not an InDesign CS4 file.

How to open adobe training files without winzip

I am on a pc and my computer will not let me download any files from the tutorial videos on adobe online without first zipping them, and without these files I will not be able to figure out how to create a web browser page for the website

I thought most Windows systems came pre-installed with WinZip -- a utility for unzipping compressed files. If you don't have WinZip already, you can download StuffIt Expander (in my opinion, a better utility), or 7-Zip. Both are free.

How to open Photoshop Temp File without extension

Hi Adobe Community,
My photoshop recently closed with some files open. I supect windows update to be behind that but can't be sure.
I found in the %temp% folder couple files thats look interresting but no way to open them or be sure what it is.
Files are:
     - Photoshop Temp21185767124 (36 864 KB)
     - Photoshop Temp745149862732 (1 164 672 KB)
     - Photoshop Temp1555241910196 (885 632 KB)
      - Photoshop Temp556628194484 (96 640KB)
     ... and there're 2 more at 0 KB.
Using:
      - Photoshop CS5 12.1 x64
      - Windows 7 Service Pack 1
Looking for a way to get those files back or at least know what they are...
Thank you all
Martin

They're temporary scratch files that can be safely discarded. There is nothing useful you can do with them.
With Photoshop CS6 there may be auto-save recovery files as well nearby, but they're always .psb files, and you don't have to do anything special - Photoshop will automatically open them the next time you run it after a crash. Photoshop CS5 did not have the auto-recovery feature; if it crashes you lose your work.

Opening an Indesign file from server slows down [very urgent please]

Hi All,
I have a book that is already paginated. (Every indesign file has hyperlinks targeted to the another indesign file (paragraph Anchor destinations)).
After few days the server was crashed due to some network problems.
Now a new server has been created with different name and path.
If I try to open the indesign file it takes much much longer time than usual, For the same file if I disconnect the network connection it is working as usual.
What is the cause of this? Is there any way to overcome this issue or any work around? At the same time I need to retain the hyperlinks also. Because it is very very difficult to re-create the links (more than 100 or 200 number of links will be there in every chapter).
Note: I have tried something like trashing indesign preferences. It is also not working.
Thanks,
Green4ever

I restored all my indesign file in the same folder structure except the root folder. I already tried the way you suggested. It is not helping me.
"I thought that may be Indesign is searching for the missing links" So I try editing the preferences so that indesign will not search for the missing links(I think it is only aplicable for graphic links is it?). After that also I am facing the same problem.
Is there anyway to open the indesign file without checking for missing hyperlinks. So that it may open faster.
Thanks,
Green4ever

How do I print to a postscript file with InDesign CS6 without both extensions, .indd.ps?

How do I print to a postscript file without an .indd extension in InDesign CS6? I choose Print, choose a print preset from my print shop and Save. The first time I tried it was blank (the Hide Extension was checked), so I tried to save and got a dialog box that said it cannot be saved as an .indd file (duh), to choose both or .ps. I chose .ps and it was fine, but every time I postscripted it gave me this dialog box until I unchecked Hide Extension. After I did that, every time I postscript it automatically saves both extensions. Not a big deal but it is annoying. I just want it to end with .ps like it used to. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks!!

I have no idea but I am incredibly curious...why are you doing this?
Printing to postscript is a completely archaic workflow. Export to PDF
instead.

Flash CS6 cant open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?

Flash CS6 can't open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?
I'm just trying to preview an swf file in flash like I have with all previous versions.

What if my SWF loads external content from an online server?
Not only does the current flash player prohibit such activity, it doesn't even pop open an error anymore saying there was an error connecting to an online source.
Normally, I would simply drag the SWF into Flash and all connections would go through. I could see traces, errors, and experience no issues.
Now I can't even do that. So what then? You have crippled a fundamental use of the program, but THANK GOD we have that deco brush that nobody asked for.
And for the record, the nature of my work benefits from not necessarily allowing the Flash Player to connect to online content. The error it pops up? That's simply another method of error checking that I require. Updating the Flash Player options is not an option.
Why would you even remove this key feature from Flash anyways? It's been there for years ... has the ratio of people importing SWFs (a rather useless gesture in an increasing OOP world) really outweighed the people using Flash as a testing environment that much?

Acrobat 8 Launches when opening an InDesign file

I have recently upgraded to Acrobat 8 Pro and Indesign CS3.
Everytime I try to open an InDesign file by 2x clicking on it, Acrobat launches alongside Indesign, and Acrobat throws up an error message. How can I get this to stop? And why is this happening?
Thanks,
Chris

I have had this exact problem for like 6 months and have just dealt with it, but it's really starting to drive me crazy.
Double clicking on all INDD files launches Indesign AND then Acrobat. Acrobat gives me two error dialogs which I then "OK", and then I'm able to switch to Indesign and work on the file. Dragging-n-dropping the files direct into Indesign or Opening through Indesign works fine. I've also noticed Indesign does not offer up the usual "open recents" in the file menu.
Acrobat and Photoshop are the only CS3 apps that appear in the "Open With>Choose Program" dialog, and browsing to the Indesign executable does not fix anything. The indd files even display the correct [ID] icon.
Windows XP Pro SP2
Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.1
Adobe Web Premium CS3 (which I believe technically the Acrobat install is from)
Adobe Indesign CS3 5.0.1 (bought separately from Web Premium)
I'm sure it's probably more of a Windows issue than Adobe, but any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I tried to "repair" the Acrobat installation but that didn't help. Reinstalling all my Adobe apps is something I would like to avoid if possible.
