I cannot open my file in CS5.5

I tried to open a file i have saved in my indesign cs5.5, though it comes up with a list of missing plug-ins.
I then went to file - open - and selected the file. Whilst doing this i noticed it said created in CS5.5, but it still would not open.
Hopefully someone has an idea of what may have happened, as i do not!
Thank you.

@SLetten – is there a slight chance, that someone has opened and saved that file in a newer version of InDesign?
You could test the exact version by an ExtendScript (JavaScript) script.

  • Cannot open indd file in CS5.5? "Please upgrade your plugins to the latest version or upgrade..."

    I refer to a similar forum post here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/4081971 - which outlines a similar problem with opening a file.
    The difference is the file I can no longer open was created using Adobe indd CS5.5 and I am opening it with Adobe indd CS5.5. I have never had this issue previously. The only change is to a new OS on Mac - Version 10.8.2. Error message says "Cannot open "File name" please upgrade your plugins to the latest version or update to the latest version of Adobe" - I know there is CS6 but why should I now need to upgrade suddenly?
    Can anyone help here? I can forward a link to the file in question if needs be.
    Cheers,

    @Catie – did you verify, if your InDesign file is saved in version CS5.5?
    You could do so by using a ExtendScript (Adobe's version of JavaScript) written by Jongware.

    If the problem is due to a corruption of plug-in version information, I fear you have no chance other than:
    1. Update CS5.5 to the latest bug-fix version => 7.5.3
    2. Download a trial version of InDesign CS6, open and export the file to IDML and re-open it in InDesign CS5.5 (though this might not work for a corrupted file)
    3. Try to open the file on a different machine
    Are there 3rd party plug-ins involved? If so contact their makers…

  • Cannot open indd file in either CS5 or CS5.5

    I downloaded CS5.5 on my laptop this afternoon. I then opened a CS5 file, worked on it, then saved. Now I cannot open the file in either CS5 or CS5.5. Is says InDEsign may not support the file format, the file is missing, or it is opened in anaother application. Does anyone know how I can open this file?

    Just to be clear:
    It won't open in either version. I created the file in CS5 (school computer lab), worked on it in CS5.5 (on my personal laptop connected through the server), then tried to open it on a school coputer using CS5. The file will not open.
    Once you edit a CS5 file in CS5.5, it becomes a CS5.5 file and you will not be able to open it in CS5.
    Make sure you are running the version you think you are, and don't double-click the file, but actually use File > Open from within InDesign CS5.5.

    I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

    Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
    You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X  or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

  • Installing CS5.5, got an error window that says "windows cannot open this file"

    I download the CS5.5 files.  Clicked on the larger file to open it and received an error window stating that "windows cannot open this file".  Any suggestions?

    @caroline,
    are both files in the same directory?
    are you clicking the exe, not the 7z?
    if yes to both, right click the exe and click 'run as administrator'.
    if that fails, run the cleaner (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then click the exe.

  • Cannot open illustrator file CS5

    Hey guys. Made my first illustrator file and double backed it up. I put so much work into it but now I cannot open the file... Please help. I also tried using the recovery option and only when I use doc recover and hold down ctrl alt shift and open it it says "cannot find file" but when I open it regularly it will open... just completley blank. Please help. Im willing to email the doc to you if you can try and open it. Thanks!

    It seemsthat by using that method that I pretty much lose all editing features. The reason I used vector to draw was to have the ability to scale. Is there another way? Can I email you the file and see if tis just my copy of adobe thats messed up? My email is djm587 at gmail

    What version of Premiere Pro?Have you installed the Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3) update? That update fixes a lot of problems.
    What operating system?
    What kind of footage are you using? Is it just happening with one specific asset?

    How do I resolve the issue Cannot open the file ".indd". 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?

    Shouldn't the CC version be able to open any file created in an older version on InDesign?
    Yes, it ought to.
    If the older file wasn't yours (if someone emailed it to you,or burned it on a disc, or whatever), then I am almost willing to bet you a beverage in the city of your choice that it's not a complete InDesign file. That is, maybe it was zipped and renamed, or the beginning or end of the file was chopped off during download, or something like that. The only reason I'm not actually making the bet is that there is a remote chance that I'd lose, and maybe you're in Adelaide or Khabarovsk or somewhere where the cost of airfare to me would make that bet a very expensive bet for me to to lose. So no latte for you if I'm wrong!
    The script that Jongware posted will tell you what version of InDesign made the file to begin with. Additionally, if someone did something like rename YourFile.PDF to YourFIle.INDD, it'll report that it's Not An InDesign File. Because while SpectrumPCS is kinda right and that message can be generated when attempting to open a CS5 file in CS3 or whatever, it also spits out the same message when you just try to open an Autocad file, or a Windows system file, or a PDF, or any file that InDesign actually cannot open at all.

  • "Cannot open resource file" when InDesign CS6 starts.

    I have an Intel Mac Pro running OS/X Snow Leopard.
    When I open InDesign CS6 I get an error "Cannot open resource file", but there is no indication of what file it can't open.
    When I click OK in the dialog box, InDesign opens and appears to be working.
    I am concerned that this may cause a problem as I continue to use it.
    Is there any way I can correct this issue?
    I also have InDesign CS5.5 installed on the same Mac and it runs fine with no resource error.

    I tried uninstalling InDesign, once I figured out how to do that with Creative Cloud that is (it's not an option in the Adobe Application Manager - which I think it should be).
    Anyway, after uninstalling and reinstalling, the error is still there.
    I also tried Peter's suggestion to remove the InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData and have them recreated but that didn't work either. I even tried the cmd-ctrl-opt-shift method to delete the preference files and still I get the "Cannot open resource file" error.
    I thought that it was just a glitch since if I click "OK" in the dialogue box InDesign seems to open fine and then even let me open up a document that I had been working on in InDesign CS5.5.
    But ....
    Even though the document opened fine, as soon as I click on a text field, any text field, InDesign crashes.
    I tried three different documents and it does the same thing.
    It didn't crash when I selected a graphic or an embedded pdf but it does as soon as I click on any text field.
    Does that help narrow down what the resource file error is?
    By the way, I can open InDesign CS5.5 just fine (same computer) with no resource file error and it does not crash when I select a text field, so the issue seems to be strictly with CS6.

  • Cannot Open this file:  Z1SQLiteFillRow failed

    I'm trying to sync Outlook 2007 Calendar with Ipad and my Samsung S3 Cell.  I've downloaded and activated ICloud on all devices and PC.  My Calendar Items are disappearing in my main Calendar Folder in Outlook after a short time unless my ICloud and or my ICloud Local Calendars are checked in the Navigation Box.   I try to open the Calendar Item in my original Calendar in Outlook to edit or see the event.  After double clicking to open the event, I get the following message:
         Cannot Open this file:   Z1SQLiteFillRow failed     Also, sometimes in one of the calendars, when I want to open a new event in the Calendar it won't let me open a new event, says I don't have permission, see your administrator.  Lastly, when I go to Organize in Outlook, it's not opening events that I want sorted etc.  Can anyone give me any thoughts on these issues.  I'm about ready to disconnect ICloud completely but I'm afraid I'm going to loose several months worth of Calendar Events.
    Thanks,

    Thanks Bob, but sorry i might not explain myself very well. The original file is CS4 and indeed it did open just fine in CS5 until yesterday. Today, all of the sudden i got this message. I am not trying to open a CS5 into CS4...is the other way around and it worked before.

    Yes, but nothing happened.
    I was instructed to press some key during startup of Photoshop, and it should reset the program.

    Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
    If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:
    Office for Mac forums
    PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

  • I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

    I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way.  I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

    Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers).  If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged.  This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
    You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 and cannot open Raw files from my Canon EOS 1000D camera.

    I am using Photoshop Elements 9 on a Windows 7 based PC and would like to know why I cannot open Raw files produced by my Canon EOS 1000D camera.
    I have checked the version of the plug in as 6.5 for raw files which is supposed to open .cr2 files and should be compatible according to Adobe site info.
    any ideas for next move.
    Mick

    Hi,
    According to all of Adobe's charts, the Canon 1000D should be supported by the basic PSE 9 even without updates. When you said you checked the camera raw version in PSE, did you do that by going to the Help menu and selecting About plugins -> Camera raw?
    The Canon 1200D requires ACR 8.4 which is only compatible with PSE 12 - so for PSE 10 your brother would need the DNG converter.
    I can't find a sample raw file to try (I do have PSE 9). If you want to upload a sample file to dropbox and give me access, I could try it on my system.
    Have you tried opening one of your files on your brothers system?
