How to open Indd file when it shows: missing plug ins in CS4 - Help.

How can I open this Indd file in my CS4 version? It is stating that I am misisng plug ins then it won't open the file. I'm guessing its probably a CS5 version file... Not sure. How do you tell? Anyway, I can I open this thing?
Worst case - How do I upgrade to CS5? Is possible? I can't find anything to upgrade to from CS4. They make it so hard to find.
Thanks for any insight or help!!
Brian

You can identify the version using the script here: Adobe Forums: [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is from a later version that CS4, it will need to be exported to .idml for something ath can be opened in CS4, but it likely will not look the same.
As far as I know there are no upgrade from CS4 to CS5 or CS5.5 packages avialble through normal resellers, and I'm not certain that CS4 is even eligible for upgrade discount princing for CS6 any longer.

Hey Joseph Curcio,
You might be viewing the PDFs in your browser only where Adobe Reader plug-in is disabled.
Please try opening the PDF file using Adobe Reader and then check.
Let me know in which browser are you trying to view the PDFs so that I can help you out enabling the required plug-ins.

I am using CS4. Can I open CS6 files? I am receiving "plug-ins not available on your system" messages and I'd like to open anyway but clicking on OK doesn't work.

InDesign CS4 can open .indd, .indt and .inx files from earlier versions, but not from later. It should, however, be able to open .idml files saved or exported from newer versions, with the understanding that unsupported features will be lost, text will probably reflow due to differences in texts engines between versions, and that the greater the gap between versions the more likely there are to be noticeable differences from the original. You will need to be sure CS4 is at version 7.0.6 to read the .idml.

How to open Indd files

I just purchased and downloaded Adobe InDesign. But still cannot open my indd files in My Documents.

How can I check to see if ID installed correctly?
Does it start and run? If not, then ID is not installed properly. Uninstall it using your OS' uninstall procedure. The reinstall using your download.
If after reinstalling ID still does not start, download ID again.
If ID does start, did you try using the File menu, Open command, navigating to where your file is and opening it? Does the file open that way?
Edit, you did not answer Peter as to the operating system nor the version of ID.

How to prevent ID Server from complaining about missing plug-ins?

Hi,
When opening the document which has some plug-in related data in it, InDesign Server gives an error message (to Event Log) :
"The document XXX.indd uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system."
This can be skipped on desktop InDesign but is there a way to skip this on InDesign Server? It is 64-bit Win InDesign CS6 Server.
BR, Sirpa

Found out that you can do this in your desktop plugin (what writes the persistent data to the document) by setting missing plugin warning level to "IgnoreTags".

Opening .indd files in InCopy

Does anyone know how to open .indd files in InCopy? When I try to do this I can see the Layout View but not the Galley View or Story View, and I can't make any changes to the document.

The stories were not exported out from InDesign for InCopy. There are a number of methods, but the Edit>InCopy>Export>All Stories is one of the easiest. Be sure to export the stories into their own folder next to the actual InDesign file.

Suddenly getting "Missing Plug-Ins" errors when opening .indd files in InDesign CS2

I have a PC running Windows 7 and InDesign CS2. The laptop's installation of Windows was corrupted and I had to re-install the OS. I backed up all files, reinstalled the OS, and then reinstalled applications. One of those applications was InDesign CS2. However, after the installation of CS2 on the fresh copy of Windows, I noticed that I have trouble opening most, but not all, of the InDesign files on my hard drive.
When I try to open a .indd file I see an error message pop up that says "Missing Plug-ins. LILO.APLN, DYNAMICDOCUMENTS.RPLN, CONDITIONALTEXT.RPLN" and three more. Under that list of missing plugins is the warning "This document uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?" If I click "okay" I then am met with another dialog box that says "Cannot open file. TEXT.RPLN, LAYER.RPLN" and on and on for about 60 more items.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING! I've searched around concerning this issue and it appears the consensus is that the file was opened by a newer version of InDesign. That possibility is, in fact, an impossibility. Never have I used a newer version of InDesign. The files that I am working on were backed up, stored on local storage and not touched once before reinstalling the OS and reinstalling InDesign CS2.
I also noticed that not all InDesign file formats were associated with InDesign in "Windows Programs and Defaults." I changed those to look to InDesign. I've also uninstalled InDesign CS2 and re-installed.
Not all InDesign CS2 files are exhibiting this behavior. So far, it appears more than half are, but some can be opened with no problems. There seems to be no correlation between which ones are able to be opened and which ones can't be opened.
What could have happened to these files and is there any possibility of opened them again? Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Conditional Text was a new feature in CS4. I'm thinking, can you explain how your old CS2 documents became aware of it?
Not exactly sure myself. Abiogenesis?
[Edit]
Almost forgot. I wrote a script to unequivocally determine the InDesign version a document was last saved as:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4071273
I'll give that a try today. Even an affirmative judgement that the files are newer than CS2 would not impress me however. The fact remains, the files were copied off one hard drive over to another, the plug was pulled on the hard drive, the PC was re-imaged, CS2 was reinstalled, the files were copied back over... and whammo.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How open a file and not showing window?

I write a script to do some work automatic,
for Indesign script, its application open method could open a file and not showing window,
the open method has a parameter [ShowingWindow] (if true, show the document window).
That is good a feature for me.
But with Illustrator, the application open method hasn't the same feature.
Open
(files as String,
[documentColorSpace as AiDocumentColorSpace],
[options as Object])
and for OpenOptions properties, there is not useful information for me.
Is there any other methods could do that?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank for your reply.

I have an older version of imovie. After I change the photos using the Ken Burns effect and save them, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' to change the zoom, the picture appears black and I can't change the zoom?

I have a five year old version of imovie that generally works fine. However, when I add a photo using the 'Ken Burns' effect then save the movie, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' the picture appears black and I cannot change the zoom. Any suggestions?

Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
See here:
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
Let us know how that works for you.

How to open a Template when Pages is already open

I have just copied and pasted some text into a blank pages document. I want to convert this doc. to a letter head that I made a template for.
I would like to open the template, then copy/paste the first doc info into the template doc.
I haven't been able to figure out how to open a template when a document is already open.

Sorry, P5.2, Mavericks.
I did set the preferences to New Documents> Use Template: Blank, to stop endlessly having to choose a template when I don't need one.
When I pull down File, there is no New from Template Chooser. File>New just opens another blank file.
To check, I went back and enabled "Show Template Chooser". Now it demands I choose a template whether I want to or not.
OK, it seems Apple is forcing you into either/or. I want both/and. I don't want to be forced to choose a template when 99% of the time I don't want anything but a blank file. It is a nuisance. But the occasional time I am composing something and decide it would be better off as a universal doc with letter head, I am stuck and cannot choose open a template so I can stick the material in it.
The options are lousy. Close/save the doc, reset the preferences to templates, shut down Pages, restart pages, select template, open old doc, copy/past old text into new template. Or, while the original doc is open the first time, I could go find a stored doc with the right letter head template, open it, copy/paste the previous text into the letter head doc (and delete everything else).
Neither of these options is worth a wooden nickel. Apple needs to think this one through again. Like have multiiple buttons with View on it, doing different things. At least they got rid of using the paragraph symbol for two or three different functions.

How to open PDF files in Safari

How does one open PDF files when using Safari

Typically, you click on a link to a pdf file, and they open. If for some reason that's not working, you can right click on the link and download the file, then it should open in Preview, or Adobe Reader if you've installed that.
What exactly are you trying to open, and what's happening when you try it?
