I need help to open an .idml file after translating it with Dejavu!

Hi everybody,
I'm not used to work with InDesign, I only have to check a big problem: I'm a translator and have been working the last 4 weeks on a InDesing-Projekt from German into Italian. I changed the format of the files from .indd into .idml an imported the three files into my Computer-Assisted-Translation Ptrogram DejaVu. I've been working well till now. Now I tried to export the first File and wanted to open the .idml file with Indesign... The program began to work, but then came a warning "syntax error". Please, is there anybody who knows the program better than I (the agency which should know everything about this kind of files gives up at the first problem)??? This is very important to me. I speak german an italian very good, my english is rudimental....
Thank yopu and have a good day (tel. +49-(0)9208 588316)

Sorry for the delay, I had a lot of other stuff going on today. This kind of work is somewhat laborious so I put it off.
I needed to send you the file, because I don't understand what you mean with opening the zip file and so on...
An IDML file is just a .ZIP archive of a bunch of XML files.
In this case, it turns out the problem is pretty obvious. Some story files, instead of containing valid XML, contain "MATTONELLE".
Like this, in the Terminal on Mac OS X, but substitute as appropriate for Windows:
$ ls -ld *idml

$ cd KK
$ unzip ../KK_Preisliste\ 2011_1-120_it.idml

So, it's probably obvious what you should do with your tool to fix these...
u3cf is an example of a normal file. I sort the files by file size to find the ones that are far too small to be normal XML.

  • Need help to open palm V files on 64 bit Win 7 i7

    I have the synced Palm V files on a backup hard drive which I am trying to access on a new laptop, which has an i7 processor with 64-bit windows 7.
    I tried to install the 4.1.4 desktop software but it errored out: Internal Error 2738.  I find pages addressing the error, but they all deal with Vista, not win7. I registered the dll anyway, but the installation still failed.
    My goal is to be able to access the palm desktop files on the new computer -- I don't have the device with me and am not worried about syncing at this point.  What can I do?  Install a different version, even though the descriptions do not list Palm V as a compatible device?
    Thanks for any assistance.
    Post relates to: Palm V

    Have you tried to Uninstall/Reinstall Palm Desktop?  Instructions for a Clean Uninstall (for Vista/XP) are also listed in the Windows HotSync stickies.  We've got to get Palm Desktop to open first!  Are you installing with Admin rights?  Once we get it to open, you can create a User account and find the directory to place the .dat file.
    You could try downloading 4.1.4e from Palm.com and installing that version, or even 4.2 from my "Manual" link below.
    I'm running Vista64 here, sorry I can't offer any first-hand Win7 knowledge...     Palm appears to have no interest in supporting PalmOS/Win7 as they are moving away from PalmOS devices to concentrate on webOS devices.

  • Need HELP! Opening a PDF file from different URL

    I have a application that links to viewpdf.class. This class file will go to the FTP where the pdf file is located and open it. How do i do this using java? Here is what I have.. .i'm stuck
    URL url = new URL("ftp://user01:[email protected]/"+ folder_name +"README.pdf;type=i");
    URLConnection urlc = url.openConnection();
    InputStream is = urlc.getInputStream();thanks Tony
    here is how it looks like if it is on the local host.
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.servlet.*;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;
    public class viewpdf extends HttpServlet
        private ResourceBundle rb;
        public viewpdf()
            rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("LocalStrings");
        public static void streamCopy(FileInputStream fileInputStream, ServletOutputStream servletOutputStream)
            throws IOException
            if(fileInputStream == null || servletOutputStream == null)
                return;
            byte abyte0[] = new byte[8192];
            int i;
            synchronized(fileInputStream)
                synchronized(servletOutputStream)
                    while((i = fileInputStream.read(abyte0)) != -1)
                        servletOutputStream.write(abyte0, 0, i);
        public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
            throws ServletException, IOException
            ServletOutputStream servletOutputStream;
            String filename;
            String output;
            FileInputStream fileInputStream;
            servletOutputStream = res.getOutputStream();
            res.setContentType("application/pdf");
            ServletContext servletcontext = getServletContext();
            filename = req.getParameter("file");
            String folder_code = req.getParameter("fold");
            try{
                filename = servletcontext.getRealPath(rb.getString("file_location")) + "/" + fold + "/" + file;
            fileInputStream = null;
            fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
            streamCopy(fileInputStream, servletOutputStream);
            catch(FileNotFoundException e)
            filename = servletcontext.getRealPath(rb.getString("file_location")) + "/filenotfound.pdf";
            fileInputStream = null;
            fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
            streamCopy(fileInputStream, servletOutputStream);
    }

    That servlet already is Java. And the servlet code isn't what "opens" the PDF, it's the browser that sends the request that does that. I'm assuming that when you say "open it" you mean to start up an instance of Adobe Acrobat and ask it to display the document.

  • Hello people, i need help to open a PX file extension, anyone?

    Have you tried "Paradox" by corel? that's what makes one type of .px extension apparently - but it seems there are several different types of .px files/extensions, used by different programs.
    Where/who did you get the files from - can you check with the user to see what they use?

    I'am able to open it with Notepad but i would like to know if there is any program that can open it, thanks.

    Need help. I am running a 27 in imac with 16 gigs of ram. Photoshop runs really fast, except when opening files. It takes 5-10 minutes to open even a small file of 1 meg. I cleaned and validated all the fonts and removed all questionable fonts. Reset preferences and still have problem. Slow to open and in force quit "Photoshop not responding" At this point should I uninstall and start over.

    What are the performance Preferences?

    You may need to design the site again in older version OR may be copy and paste in place from new to old except what is new in the latest version.
    Hope that helps!

  • Opening an idml file in indesign cs5

    I'm trying to open an idml file in cs5 on a mac.  I can't upgrade to cs5.5 without upgrading everything else.
    When I open the file, I'm not able to see the "high res display" images or the preview images.  Am I missing plugins? or what?
    Can anyone tell me how to get this to work?
    Thanks.

    Do you have the links? .idml doesn't store previews, so they need to be regenerated, and that can only be done if ID can locate the links.

    Hi Puneet,
    What exactly are you trying to do? Can you describe where in the system you are doing it? There are different options....
    What about a document report with a link to the Web site URL you want to open?
    What about a read-only URL field on the document, populated with the URL you want to open?
    What about the desktop links channel?
    Lots of different ways to skin that cat (sorry cat lovers) ..your code looks like it might be the most difficult approach.

    Hello! Can't open an IDML file. ID file was created in CC (10). It is a 100 page (50 spreads) doc that is one big table. It was created in CC (10) and saved as an IDML file. I have CS6 and when I try to open it, it shuts down ID almost instantly. The file was created on a MAC and I am trying to open it on a MAC. Any/all advice is greatly appreciated as I am up against a deadline with this unopened file! Many thanks in advance, Diane

    There's a good chance the file is corrupt. As whomever sent it to you to verify it opens on their end.

  • Need help to share Number/Pages file visa Mail option. Cannot do with iPad Air (iOS7)

    Need help to share Number/Pages file visa Mail option. Cannot do with iPad Air

    Oh, okay. After selecting the format I want to send, it says "creating... ". Then irrespective of the format I choose the message e.g. "creating spreadsheet" disappears, and so does the choice window (where I earlier chose Mail). I am taken back to the Numbers (or Page) where I had started from. Diavonex's note indicated that after "creating ... " stage I should be taken to an option where I can type in email address where I want to  send the  file, if I want to copy it to another address etc. I cannot arrive at that page - no matter whether I am working with Pages or Number, or which format I choose for the file to share !
    I will try to close as you have suggested and try. However, I have switched on and off several times by now, but nothing changed!
    Will look forward to any ideas to solve this !!!
    Thanks much!
