How visualize a Indesign CC.idml in Indesign CS3?

Hello. I need to view a document that has come to me in the format ".idml" that is created in Adobe Indesign CC.  When I make double click, get me a message that says "are a number of plugins missing". I have no way to open it. Any solution? Is there any way that I can download a trial version of Adobe Indesign CS5 or CS6 to open that file and save it to another compatible version?
Thank you very much for the help

  • How to access indesign cs3 document through VC++

    Hello
    i am new to VC++, i need to communiacte Indesign CS3 through VC++, for this what can i do? inorder to access indesign docuemnts,
    i also need to access a Third party API for CS3 through VC++, for the two puproses, i dont have any idea, so
    kindly help me
    with regards,
    ram

    Hi ram<br /><br />As Olav has pointed out, you need to decide whether to use COM or SDK.<br /><br />SDK is hard core - and I really mean HARD CORE. I consider myself to be a reasonably good VC++ programmer, but when I tried to develop an InDesign plug-in using SDK and VC++ I was completely lost.<br /><br />However it is possible to use VC++ to control InDesign via the COM object.<br /><br />Here is what you should do:<br /><br />1) Make a new VC++ project (MFC, MFC Application)<br />2) In Wizard dialog select Dialog Based and leave everything else unchanged (simply press Next)<br />3) You now have a simple empty dialog with 2 buttons<br />4) Double-click the OK button<br />5) Insert the following code (before OnOK()):<br /><br />// COM support required for this<br />//  Call CoInitialize() to initialize the COM library on the current thread<br />if(::CoInitialize(NULL) != S_OK) return;<br /><br />// Create instance of InDesign Application<br />InDesign::_ApplicationPtr app;<br />// Use the appropriate version here<br />//  This string will be used to search the registry for the application<br />//  associated with it and the same is invoked. <br />//  If you have different builds of the same version and you want to work<br />//  with a specific build, call CreateProcess() for that build and then<br />//  call CreateInstance() so that the currently running instance is returned.<br />app.CreateInstance(L"InDesign.Application.CS3");<br /><br />// Open existing document<br />InDesign::DocumentPtr doc = app->Open("C:\\InDesign\\myDocument.indd", true);<br />InDesign::PagePtr page = doc->Pages->FirstItem();<br />InDesign::TextFramePtr textFrame = doc->TextFrames->FirstItem();<br />textFrame->Contents = "Hello world";<br /><br />6) Go to the start of the file<br />7) Insert the following code before // CAboutDlg dialog used for App About<br /><br />// Required for calling COM initialization methods<br />#include <objbase.h><br /><br />// Import InDesign's Type Library<br />#import "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 5.0\Scripting Support\5.0\Resources for Visual Basic.tlb"<br /><br />8} Build and run the project (F5). When you press OK, InDesign should launch, open your document, find the first page, find the first TextFrame and replace the text (contents) with "Hello world"<br /><br />How to get in contact with your third-party API is a completely different ball game (not in the scope of this forum), but at least you now have a VC++ project with header files etc.<br /><br />If your third-party API is indeed an InDesign plug-in, I totally agree with Olav that you have to direct your questions to the SDK forum.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Bo

  • How to learn Indesign CS3  SDK programming for windows

    Hi,<br /><br />I am very new to plugin development.I am working in Indesign CS3 SDK (windows).<br /><br />But I am not able to write /understand the syntax of InterfacePtr.<br /><br />for eg :<br /><br />InterfacePtr<IClassIDData> orgDocFileHandlerData(doc, IID_ORGICLASSIDDATA); <br /><br />We get Pointer of any Interface , and pass some arguments .<br /><br />So can anybody help how to learn this programming , I am not finding any <br /><br />books or tutorials on this so that I can read from the basic. I have only <br /><br />referred to Programming Guide(CS3). Can anybody please help/explain  me how <br /><br />to learn it?<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />Ravi Sharma

    It's only my way of understanding about InDesign SDK :<br /><br />* SDK objects are know as 'boss(es)' and are accessed thru interfaces.<br />* You can imagine object as collection of interfaces. And you can even aggregate new interfaces to existing objects.<br />* When you have a reference to an interface of a boss, you can access other interfaces (of the same boss - or object) using the *amazing* syntax : (here, doc is a probably an IDocument interface on a kDocBoss object, and you want to access it's IClassIDData interface)<br />InterfacePtr<IClassIDData> orgDocFileHandlerData(doc, IID_ORGICLASSIDDATA); <br />* And finally, InterfacePtr has a reference counter, which allows the framework to destroy the interface object - not the boss of course, only the memory used by the object - when it's non mre referenced.<br /><br />HTH !

  • How to run Indesign CS3 as a Service with Port number

    Hello all,
    I would like to run the InDesign CS3 Server as a service on Windows. It seems that after installing the Server it automatically installs as a service. But where can I assign the port number. If under Services properties of InDesign Server under Parameters I mention -port 1050 on Ok button it removes the parameter information.
    I am doing right or is there some other way to start the Server as Service with Port number.
    Thank you all in advance.
    Regards
    Farzana.

    Hi Sascha,
    have you tried to remove the service and install it manually?
    \"Path to IDS"\InDesignServerService /install /u
    \"Path to IDS"\InDesignServerService /install
    I guess you've tried to start the instance in the console already (successfully?).
    Regards
    Ingo

    Hi Ingo,
    I've installed the Snap-In and configured one instance. Maybe it's worth mentioning that there are some instances running at the same time, which have been started using the console. Hope that's not interfering. However, the MMC-configured instance uses a different port.
    I tried to start the service with a huge range of users having all imaginable privileges. The common way of using either "LocalService" or the Local System Account (which has admin rights for me) doesn't do the job.
    cheers,

  • How to download InDesign CS3 Debug (non-Server version)

    I have downloaded and installed the InDesign CS3 SDK and can generate a Release build of a plug-in and get it to load and work in InDesign CS3, but as indicated in the doc, building the Debug configuration of a plug-in and trying to get it to work in the Release version of InDesign CS3 does not work. So, of course, I want to download and install InDesign CS3 Debug so that I can load and run the Debug configuration of plug-ins. But I cannot find a way to download InDesign CS3 Debug anywhere. I find a link for downloading InDesign CS3 Server Debug but not InDesign CS3 Debug (non-server version).
    Can someone point me to the InDesign CS3 Debug download?
    Thanks

  • How to open InDesign CS3 or CS5 files in CS6?

    I know I should be able to open earlier versions in CS6 but when I try, it opens and the InDesign pages are blank. I also have idml files that will not open as showing anything in 6. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Ask in the ID forum and provide more info on what you actually have on the pages, system info and all that.

    Dear Ian
      Here I'm used the below coding in CS3, Its working fine....
    //In CS3 Coding
      PMString jsFullPath("c:\\windows\\sample.jsx"); // a path to my java script file
    do
    const
    IDFile outFile(jsFullPath);InterfacePtr<IScriptManager> scriptManager(Utils<IScriptUtils>()->QueryScriptManager(kJavaScriptMgrBoss));

    RunScriptParams params(scriptRunner);
    ErrorCode err = scriptRunner->RunFile(outFile, kTrue, kFalse);
    while(kFalse);
    But the same time I used this coding in CS4, Its not woking
    //In CS4 Coding
    PMString jsFullPath("c:\\windows\\MacID\\BIN\\sample.jsx"); // a path to my java script file
    do
    const

    ASSERT( scriptManager ) ;
    InterfacePtr<IScriptRunner> scriptRunner(scriptManager,UseDefaultIID());
    ASSERT( scriptRunner ) ;
    if
    (scriptManager){
    InterfacePtr<IScriptRunner>scriptRunner(scriptManager,UseDefaultIID());
    RunScriptParams params(scriptRunner);
    ErrorCode err = scriptRunner->RunFile(outFile, params);
    while(kFalse);
    I changed the "RunFile" arguments also
    RunScriptParams params(scriptRunner);
    ErrorCode err = scriptRunner->RunFile(outFile, params);
    But Still I'm facing the problem in InDesign CS4.  That's mean  "Adobe InDesign CS4" shout down for serious error happend.

  • Can I open .pmd files in indesign? And how? Since indesign is a "substitute" for PageMaker it should/must be possible, but I don't know how to do it

    Can I open .pmd files in indesign? And how? Since indesign is a "substitute" for PageMaker it should/must be possible, but I don't know how to do it

    CS6 was the last version capable of opening Pagemaker files. It's included with Cloud subscriptions, so if you don't have it installed (or an earlier version) you can download it from your cloud subscription.
    To open them you use File > Open..., but the quality of conversion can range between nearly perfect and total garbage, depending on the PM file and the status of links (unembed images before trying to convert).

  • Adobe CS3 Suite -- How to Get InDesign and Acrobat Pro to Install?

    I uninstalled and deactivated my Adobe CS3 Design Premium from my 1st gen Macbook (2006) and installed it on my 3rd gen Macbook Air (2011). When I installed CS3 using the original discs, InDesign and Acrobat did not install properly. How to fix?
    My questions:
    1. Got any ideas how to install InDesign and Acrobat Pro without uninstalling the whole CS3, running the cleaner tool, and reinstalling everything again? I tried to rerun the installer just for InDesign and Acrobat Pro but I got the same result -- no install.
    2. Installing CS3 takes forever -- at least several hours. Is it because I'm sending it over my wireless network? (I'm "sharing" the DVD drive on my other Macbook because my Air doesn't have one.)
    Thanks so much!!
    (More background, in case it's useful -- before installing CS3, I had run the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to clean up the mess I made when I tried to migrate CS3 using Mac's migration assistant. I learned, thanks to this forum, that I couldn't use the Migration Assistant tomove CS3. I also found that the unistaller didn't transfer, so I manually deleted folders and then used the cleaner. It worked wel enough to allow me to install everything but InDesign and Acrobat Pro.)

    Thanks Jeff (and Manish). I'm all for better reliability and a quicker installation.
    This may seem like a dumb question, but how do I properly copy the CS3 install files onto a USB? Drag and drop everythng from the CD? Can I not just copy the files onto my desktop and install from there? That is what I thought Manish suggested, to install from the desktop.
    I had tried this method. After copying the install files to the desktop, here's what happened: I clicked the setup application and it opened, but it immediately detected that I had CS3 installed and wouldn't let me go any further. Perhaps that was due to other problems resulting from use of the Migration Assistant.
    Previously, when I used the install disk on the shared drive, I was able to open the setup and install the couple of CS3 programs that weren't installed the first time around. That installation attempt failed and led me here to my original post.
    Many thanks!

  • [InDesign CS3] how to find the reason of the memory leaks?

    Hi all,
    I'm working with InDesign CS3. I wrote a plug-in and loaded it into InDesign in debug mode. After I closed the application, I got a console window showing memory leaks as following:

    Does anybody know how to find the reason of the memory leaks? Thanks a lot!

    Are you just asking because you want to know, or do you have a problem you need to solve? I don't know how to write a program, but I think what your are describing is not an unusual thing for a  program to do. The * tells you that changes have been made since the last save, and the program reserves a portion of memory for undo functions. I suppose a coder could tell you how it works, but I don't think it would help an average user to know, but that's just my opinion.
