How to open Pagemaker 7.0 in Indesign CC.

I just got Indesign CC after talking to an Adobe rep for about 30 minutes via chat. I told her I had several Pagemaker files I needed to open. (New computer - which I now got Indesign CC on her recomendation) She said that was the only way I could open Pagemaker files was to have Indesign CC. When I tried to open it says it doesn't support opening Pagemaker files.
Does anyone know a way to open Pagemaker files in InDesign CC?
Thanks in advance for your help!

  • How to open Pagemaker 7 files in InDesign CC 2014?

    This was possible in the earlier Versions of InDesign  but in the latest Version 2014 it is not possible.  Are there some Plug ins one can get to open thos files?

    Your subscription allows you to also download and install CS6, which is the last version that will open PM.

  • How do I open PageMaker 7 files in InDesign CC without buying a previous version of InDesign?

    without buying a previous version of InDesign?

    InDesign CC does not have the capability of opening Pagemaker 6 and 7 files, but InDesign CS6 does.
    If you have a Creative Cloud subscription, you can also download InDesign CS6 at no charge using the Creative Cloud desktop app.
    In the Creative Cloud app, go to the Apps list. Scroll down until you see the heading Filters & Versions. Choose Previous Versions. You can download CS6 from there.
    Both versions can run on your computer at the same time.

  • How to open illustrator file (.ai) using Indesign and save it as XML

    I know how to open a Illustrator file (.ai) in Indesign.
    It would be like :
    1 ) Save your Illustrator file as AI. This Native format is most compatible with InDesign.
    2 )  Go to -> InDesign, click on your document using your  Frame Rectangle tool (the one with the X through it).
    3 )  Fill in the desired size (can be adjusted later).
    5 ) Go to File menu > Place.
    6 )  Find and select the Illustrator file in the window that opens.
    7 ) Click the Open button.
    Adjust size, & position of your image using the Direct Selection tool (white arrow), and the cropping with the Seclection tool (black arrow.
    Now I want to save this file as XML.
    After that,  I say
    1 )  File -> Export
    But this file saves as XML only shows he the root element nothing else.
    Every time , this shows like
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
    <Root></Root>
    Nothing is there as contents.
    Can anyone let me know, is it possible to store .AI file as XML.
    My requirement is simple, i want to store the .ai file as XML.
    Some how I am using Indesign to do so . Can any body help.
    Thanks,

    Copy and paste is again seems same as 'Place the file'  , it wouldn't help again.
    Copy( from Illustrator) and paste( it in Indesign) and  later saving\exporting as XML again create the same the XML file with no data . Just a XML structure,
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
    <Root />
    RRegarding using the FXG and SVG file .. saving these formats to XML does not shows the Co-ordinates in XML formats.
    I do I would like to have the coordinates (x,y) so that later on , if required I can change the coordinates and display the Image or Text in the file. As this is a requirement for business card.

  • How to open PageMaker files in InDesign?

    It seems that this possibillity is taken away although it is told in the helpfile that it is possible.
    You can´t chose PM file type in Open files.

    You'll need to install InDesign CS6 to open PM files.

  • Error Message Opening PageMaker file in InDesign CS2

    I'm using Windows Vista with Adobe CS2, the educational version.
    When I try to open any previous Pagemaker files 6.5 and earlier, I get an error message that says the Pagemaker file is seriously damaged and cannot be opened. It happens with all PageMaker files I try to open.
    This is a new HP computer and I used to have PageMaker 6.5 and InDesign CS 1.5 working fine on the old computer. Do I have to have PageMaker installed on this computer? I've tried clicking on the file to open it and from Indesign with file open. Any ideas?!

    Since installing XP SP3 in addition to being unable to open Pagemaker 7 files in Indesign CS I now find I cannot open Indesign again if I close it. I have to reboot XP for a fresh start.
    Also Illustrator CS opens only to present a box "Could not complete operation" and then closes. There are no problems then in opening it a second time, except it takes the usual significant time to start.
    Are these symptoms of the same problem with SP3 and the Adobe software. It is disappointing to see people say neither Adobe or Redmond are at all interested.

  • How to fix tracking values modified when open pagemaker in InDesign?

    Hi everyone,
    Would you like to help me to fix my problem when I open pagemaker file in InDesign.
    The problem is I always receive the message, "Tracking values were modified. Please check text composition in converted document"
    What's the meaning with the message, and what I have suppose to do?
    Thank You.

    It’s just alerting you that text may reflow. Given the fact that the entire document needs to be looked at carefully it’s something you can ignore.

  • Is it possible to open PageMaker files in CS2? or CS6?  How can I download it while keeping my CC2014?

    Is it possible to open PageMaker files in CS2? or CS6?  How can I download it while keeping my CC2014?
    Can someone give me step by step instructions?

    Asking about InDesign? Up to CS6, I read somewhere. For instructions you might find it better to ask in the InDesign forum, rather waiting for someone to stumble into this forum - look there goes a tumbleweed!

  • [VB] Opening PageMaker layouts with InDesign Server

    I have numerous PageMaker 7.0 layouts that I need to open with a script running on InDesign CS4 Server.  These layouts open correctly using InDesign CS4 Desktop.  InDesign does a conversion on the layout but they do open correctly.  Does anyone know how to open these layouts from a script?
    When I attempt to open these layouts, using the Application.Open method, I get the following error:
              Cannot open the file "test.pmd".  Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing.
    Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sheldon

    Hi Sheldon,
    With CS4, InDesign Server no longer supports opening PageMaker files. This info is included in the Release Notes. InDesign CS4 will still open them so you could pursue a solution there.

    If you plan on collaborating with other users who have progressed with the technology you are gong to have to upgrade. There is simply no way any longer to continue with XP and CS2 except in isolation.

  • Can't open or print .PMD files in Pagemaker 7.01 or InDesign CS or CC... HALP!

    Good afternoon.  I have Pagemaker 7.01 on a Windows 8.1 desktop - and have been using it just fine - until this past Wednesday - when suddenly, a file I've been able to open and print stopped working, and now every time I open Pagemaker, I get a PLUGIN ERROR message: "Plug-in cannot be completed.  Some systems operations failed.  [7212]  [4816]"  I checked for a fix, and all the postings suggested were I download a Reg Cleaner (BIG mistake... MAJOR scam, if ever there was one) and/or delete as many of my unused fonts, as that would be the culprit(s).  Nope.  Didn't fix a thing... relating to the issues we're having.  I even attempted to open a back-up file - and got the same prompt.  Ditto on a different computer (running Windows 7).  SAME error message.  I tried to access the file in InDesign, but - InDesign says it "may not support the file format, or a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing.  I am lost without being able to access these files and print them.  Does anyone have any suggestions?!

    Have you tried opening one of the PM files with CS3?
    If so, the result might range from acceptable to not so good. Part of it depends on the images being embedded or link, and the fonts. Sometimes the phase of the moon seems to come into play (not really, but it seems like that at times).
    If you have your install for PM, you might hunt down an XP Pro computer and try installing PM on it you may have better success.
    If you would like someone else to try, you would need to ZIP up the PM file(s) and upload to dropbox.com or another file sharing server and provide a link. If the files are sensitive, consider uploading them and sharing the link to download privately through the private messaging here.
