  • 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

  • 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.

  • [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.

  • How to open a file with a link ?

    I am using servlets to design an application.
    The application supports uploading and downloading of .DOC and .RTF files.
    My problem is that I am opening an uploaded file via a link.
    OPen File
    The above is also working fine and opens the file in the IE browser.
    But my problem is that I want to open the file with MS-Word...as is done on many resume-building websites.
    1) How am I supposed to do that ?
    2) Can I specify ContentType="application/msword" in a link ?
    Please Help !!

    I did the foll. w.r.t a docbase.
    A docbase stores documents and assigns an unique id to each one. The foll. is a code snippet that opens a document's contents in a browser.
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
    Connection conn = null;
    Statement stm;
    ServletOutputStream sos = null;
    ResultSet res;
    // .... get id of document u want to open
    query = "select id from .. where object_name = ' xx' .."
    res= stm.executeQuery(query);
    Blob blob = res.getBlob("_content"); // this will get content of document identified by id
    int blobLen = (int)blob.length();
    //the foll. is the part u need..
    if (blobLen > 0) {
    InputStream contents = blob.getBinaryStream();
    response.setContentType("application/msword"); // MS Word
    byte[] buf = new byte[blobLen];
    int length = -1;
           while ((length = contents.read(buf)) != -1){
              sos = response.getOutputStream();
              sos.write(buf,0,blobLen);
    sos.flush();
    System.out.println("Doc Received");
    contents.close();
      res.close();
      conn.close();
    }

  • How to open TXT file with excel 2007

    With Excel 2003  if we right click the txt source file name, there will be an option to open the file Excel, but with Excel 2007, then we right  click txt fiel name , there is no option of open the file with excel, is this mean that we have to copy the txt file to excel file to manipulate the source file?

  • How to open a file with the same name?

    Hi, now I practicing making web pages where I put sample codes in one directory and I copy them to edit.
    The probrem is, I couldn't open one file while I'm opening another file with the same name.
    Is it possible to open  a file with the same name in Dreamweaver?

    That could be a very error prone practice.
    May I suggest you take advantage of DW "Snippets" feature instead.
    Simply save any blocks of code you will reuse regularly as snippets,
    and give each one a descriptive name you like.
    Then you can simply place your cursor in code view where you wish the code,
    and click insert on the selected item from the snippet panel.

  • How to open a file with the assosiate program on suse????

    i came to know that we can open a file with assosiated program on windows using "cmd /c start filename".
    and i want the same functionality on suse linux.
    in forums i found that "kfm filename" will do fine on linux.
    i tried it on suse but no use at all.
    i would appretiate the quick response and i would be very thankful
    for the same.
    Thanks alot in advance.

    take a look at java.awt.Desktop in the JDK SE 6 http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Desktop.html.
    See these two methods:
    - void edit(File file)
    - void open(File file)

  • How do I open PageMaker files with InDesignCC?

    I don't need a discussion. I need a simple answer.

    The simple answer is you don't. The last version that could open PM files is CS6. Your CC subscription entitles you to download and install CS6 as well.

  • HELP!!! Problems in opening Pagemaker files in Indesign

    I am an editior for mathemtics books. I used to use the Pagemaker 7.0 to prepare my book. Before inputting the materials into the Pagemaker, I typed all of my contents in Microsoft Word. In the Microsoft Word environment, other than the text, I¡¦ve used WordArt, Equation Editor as well as some diagramsand effects. Then, I copied all the stuffs into Pagemaker directly (some as texts and some as objects). The process went smoothly and there were no problems in the past. But when I switched to use Indesign this week, I¡¦ve encountered serious problems.
    First of all, if I tried to open the old Pagemaker files, the following
    contents cannot be displayed normally:
    Some of the fonts with special effects
    Mathematical equations (I made them in equation editor in Microsoft Word. In fact, I found equation editor in Pagemaker also but I can¡¦t find that in Indesign.)
    Some of the diagrams.
    The error message says the following:
    ¡§Tracking values were modified. Please check text composition in converted
    document.
    No fill patterns are supported at this time.
    Lock/Unlock property of objects are set based on group¡¦s property.¡¨
    Then, I tried to copy the materials from Microsoft Word to Indesign (which I usually did for Pagemaker as before). But still, it didn¡¦t work. I¡¦ve looked into help and then used ¡§Paste without formatting¡¨ but the result was still no good.
    As Indesign is a placement for Pagemaker, I think there should be solutions to the problems above. Is there any procedure done wrong or do I need to adjust some settings?
    Hopefully you can understand my situation. I¡¦ve prepared all the materials under Microsoft Word and want to copy them into Indesign to publish a book. It¡¦s painful for me to re-type all the materials into Indesign again. There were no problems for me to copy into Pagemaker. So would you please kindly help me to figure out how I can fix it? As the deadline for me to submit the materials to the publisher is approaching, I¡¦m really in a hurry.
    Thanks very much for your attention and looking forward to receiving your
    reply!
    Regards,
    Alex

  • 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 open .src files in indesign

    in previous version of indesign there are some plugin with the installer CD to open .src files.but in creative cloud there is no plugin to open .src files.pl help us.

    To the best of my knowledge, InDesign has never been able to open or place .src files. You've posted in the InDesign Forum. Are you thinking of a different application?

  • Can't open Pagemaker files in InDesign Cs2

    In the past i could usually open any Pagemaker 6 or 6.5 file in InDesign CS2. However this doesn't work anymore. I get a message o the screen telling me the file is corrupt and can't be opened. ( i can't really post the original message i get as it is in german).
    This happens for any Pagemaker 6 or 6.5 file i have in my repository (and there are still many left so i had tried several ones from different dates and PM Versions)
    As a first aid I tried to reinstall InDesign CS2 from the original discs. I uninstalledit before and did a restart of the Machine before i reinstalled it.
    I use a Windows XP baesed system.
    Does anyone have any idea on what i could try to get that back to work?
