IDML file crashes InDesign. INDD CC file opens fine

I created a file in Indesign CC. Saved as .indd and as .idml. The .indd files opens fine, the .idml file causes Indesign to crash. No errors, just a long wait, then a forced quit.
InDesign is up to date. Created a new document, copied and pasted document contents to new file, same issue. Shrunk one of the larger images in case it was too large to load, error still occurs.
System: Windows 7
How can I fix the .idml file?

Forced Quit is not a crash. You might have a hang, or it might just be taking a long time to process if there are a lot of pasted vectors or missing links.

When placing a Illustrator file in Indesign, the Illustrator file sometime changes from 100%.

When placing a Illustrator file in Indesign, the Illustrator file sometime changes from 100%. When you select the placed file with the selection tool, it says 100%, but if you select with the direction tool, file has been changed any where from 98 to 102 %, not staying at the 100%? why is this and how can you asure the size does not change when placed or when updating the illustrator link?

Probably you have inserted files in a frame whose content was previously adequate with "Fit Content Proportionally" or "Fill Frame Proportionally".
The new content in the same frame will have the same characteristics as the previous one

IDML file crashing InDesign...Need help!

Hi Guys,
We are working in a studio full of Macs, some on CS4 and some on CS5.5, we have had a problem occur in the last week.
We are saving IDML files on CS5.5 and trying to open them up on one of our Macs running CS4 and it starts to open, stalls then crashes completely. We have tried opening it on another mac using CS4 and we have no problems at all.
The mac we are having the crashing issues with hasn't had any updates in the last week and we haven't had any other problems.
Any ideas?
Regards

Maybe a bad font. But if you post your crash report on Pastebin.com, NOT HERE, then put a link here, someone may be able to interpret it and see the cause.

Opening file crashes Indesign CS5. What now?

I was able to find a discussion about this, but it seem like it ended without a solution.
If this is a font issue, is there a solution to this? I went to Font Book and cleared out any errors from all my fonts.
I created multiple backup files for this particular file and none of them open. All of them crashes my Indesign CS5.
Any suggestion on what I can do?

thanks John. The font thing worked.
Great. What do you have to do around here to get Correct Answer points, anyhow? ()
Anyhow, I guess I should post the relevant stack trace in case other people have the same problem and are searching for it, since it got edited out above:

Crashing inDesign, bad format file, and more

InDesign has started playing not very nice over the past three weeks. It started with the app not responding if I left it idle for a period of a few hours. I would have to force quit. Then it started saying bad file format when i try to make a pdf. It has also told me that I it doesn't have enough memory and I should delete some files. Most recently it has escalated to crashing when I start the program and use Command O to open a doc. I am running a new MacBook Pro (6 weeks old) with OS 10.7.2, using CS 5.5. I use Suitcase Fusion 3 to manage fonts.
This was part of the last crash report generated:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000000
Does this mean anything to anyone?
Help! I need to get some work done!

It started with the app not responding if I left it idle for a period of a few hours. I would have to force quit.
Next time, run Activity Monitor and then View > Send Signal: Abort (SIGABRT) and upload the crash report to http://pastebin.com/ and post a link here.

I'll bet you 2:1 this is the source of problems.

CS3 file crashing CS4 when trying to open

I have a CS3 file that I created on the Mac and when I try to open it on my PC in CS4 it crashes. When I use an older version of the same FLA file it opens in CS4. Are there known issues of things that cause a file to crash going from CS3 to CS4?

I believe I solved it. I fixed the issue through some combo of deleting all Palm files, reinstalling and overwriting the User data via my handheld. All was good with the world, and then it just happened again. I tried to launch the desktop software and just got the spinning beachball of death. I hadn't installed anything since I last successfully synched and opened the Palm software. But I remembered something...Prior to both of these incidents, I had done something different in my To Do list. When you open a To Do item, you can enter a primary category. I have all my To Dos associated with a category. But there is another category list to the right of the primary one. I have never used it before. But I was organizing some project work To Dos by associating them as a Primary category Projects and a secondary category with different names. This is helpful for creating views without cluttering my To Do categories unduly. EXCEPT...I think this is what somehow corrupted my file and caused the Desktop to hang. Each time we reinstalled and resynched from the handheld, it stripped out those secondary categories...and it works.

Can't open Keynote files on my Mac - but they open fine on other Macs

+I had this query in the Keynote 8 section, but was getting no replies - so I'm posting it here too.+
If I attempt to open any Keynote files, I now get this error message.
"Can't open file "+File path: file name+.key"
To clarify, the text in italics above shows the actual file's file path and name.
The file will then will appear on screen, but is unresponsive to any clicks or menu commands.
The files will open successfully on other Macs, so they aren't corrupt.
The same applies when creating a new file from Keynote: All screen menus / buttons are dead - all I can do is drag the main window around the screen.
I've tried to reinstall Keynote, but this hasn't resolved the problem. I've checked that I'm running the latest version (4.04 of Keynote 8) - and I have nearly 12gb free on my hard disc. I've also thrown out any Keynote related files I could find in library or preferences in case some application settings had been corrupted. (Having said that, I don't know if I caught them all - as I just used Spotlight to find files with the name Keynote.)
Are there specific preference / system files that I should look for and dump? Is there an easy way to do a complete uninstall of Keynote so I can try another install? Or is this a symptom of something else?
All ideas gratefully appreciated!

All the issues I describe in my questions around this time re: Keynote were actually symptoms of a soon-to-die laptop. The Hard Disc was corrupting, and Keynote was the first application to be affected.

Cannot open pdf files downloaded using firefox. They open fine using safari, and used to open fine before my latest update of firefox.????

I am running the latest version of snow leopard on my mac. Since the last update of Firefox, I have not been able to open any newly downloaded pdf's. I get a message that says "The file cannot be opened.
it may be damaged or use a file format that preview doesn't recognize."
When I download using Safari, everything works fine. I have been using Firefox for a long time and all of my bookmarks are in Firefox.

I also disabled adobe npapi plug-in and now the pdf files open as usual.

Files I send are corrupt but open fine on my computer

I have sent multiple files. .docs, .xls, .jpeg and all arrive at the recipient corrupted. I open them fine on my computer but when I send them it says they are corrupt. What is the problem? Are my files destroyed? I have everything on this computer. It is backed up but I don't know if those are corrupt too. What should I do? Any help would be great. Happens when I use both Safari and Firefox.

Please provide details on "Send". Do you use email (attachment, or copy and paste into the email), do you use FTP, SFTP, CIFS/SMB (Windows) file sharing, AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) file sharing, iChat file transfer, etc...
Are the file sent as is, or do you ZIP them first, or put them in a Mac OS X .dmg container, or any other packaging of the files before they are sent.
The users that are receiving these files, how do they extract them? What application do they use to read the files? What version of the applciation are they using, and what version of the applciation are you using to create these files (file format between versions of an application can change and newer software can create files that older software can not read).
Please be specific on exactly how your "Send" these files, what created the files, what was its version, how the users received the files, what software they used to read the files, what versions were they using. And any other details that may help someone identify the problem.

Idml open and idml Save As crash InDesign CS6 8.0.1

I am using:

2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 gb 1600 MHz DDR3
InDesign CS6
Version 8.0.1
I have run software update
Opening an idml file crashes InDesign.
Saving a file to idml crashes InDesign.
Assistance would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

Via Font Book, I checked all fonts with pro in the name. All appear OK.
I created a new document with nothing in it with same result. My crash report (http://pastebin.com/Rgd5AAHZ) was a little different under VM Regions.
Do you believe a re-install would solve the issue?
Thanks again for your help. It is appreciated.

Cannot Open .indd template file

Hi,
I have some javascript code that I am porting from CS3 to CS5.
The code was working well on a Windows Server as CS3.
I have ported this to run fine on my local Mac machine on CS5.
As soon as I try to run this on a Mac Server running CS5 I get issues.
Here is the original code snippet.
template = File("/myDirectory/sample_template.indd");
document = app.open(template, true);
The file exists and template.exists is combing back as 'true'.
The error logging coming back is this:
Error: Invalid value for parameter 'openOption' of method 'open'. Expected OpenOptions enumerator, but received TRUE., Invalid value for parameter 'openOption' of method 'open'. Expected OpenOptions enumerator, but received TRUE.
I have tried the following code variations with the following results in red.
document = app.open(template);
Error: Invalid value for parameter 'openOption' of method 'open'. Expected OpenOptions enumerator, but received TRUE., Invalid value for parameter 'openOption' of method 'open'. Expected OpenOptions enumerator, but received TRUE.
document = app.open(template, OpenOptions.OPEN_ORIGINAL);
Error: defaultValue is undefined, defaultValue is undefined
document = app.open(template, OpenOptions.openOriginal);
Error: defaultValue is undefined, defaultValue is undefined
document = app.open(template, OpenOptions.openCopy);
Error: defaultValue is undefined, defaultValue is undefined
I am running this as CS5 (app.scriptPreferences.version = 7;)
Any ideas why app.open() is failing?
Carlos

Like swingcarlos, I'm a bit confused what problem you're trying to solve, Jongware. He's already got a way to tell.
Though I would probably use application.hasOwnProperty("serverSettings"), but it probably doesn't matter much.
What would be nice would be an open() method with compatible type signatures on both. But it seems clear we're not going to have that.
(There's also app.serverTest(), but I don't know what that does... Ah well...)
Oh, and in case you're curious about app.fullName:
app.fullName
Result: /Applications/Adobe%20InDesign%20CS5.5%20Server/InDesignServer.app
decodeURI(app.fullName)
Result: /Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5.5 Server/InDesignServer.app
app.version
Result: 7.5.0.142

Illustrator Crashes when creating new file and opening a file

Every time I try to create a new file, or even open an existing file Illustrator crashes. I have re-installed illustrator...no luck. I have tried running Illustrator while holding SHIFT...no luck. I am using windows 7, and have no crazy drivers that I believe need to be updated.
Thank you for your help!
-Patrick

Have been Googling like always after Illustrator CC crashes with these specific symptoms (Opening fine, New file of Opening existing file crashes).
All other threads had no working solution for me and the symptoms seemed little different - Opening the program and keeping it open without opening or creating a file was no problem.
This was the well-appreciated solution that did the trick for me.
Re: Illustrator CC 17.1 Crashing on New File or Open File (Win 7) works under a different user?
(In my case I think my default printer had been changed in the background by using a VPN connection this morning which I hardly use ever. Never had been thinking in that direction of course.)
Good luck to you all.

Error message Indesign:Either the file does not exist, you do not have read access to it, or use the file in another application.

I've got problem with opening a file in InDesign. The file type is an InDesign Markup Document. The error message is: Either the file does not exist, you do not have read access to it, or use the file in another application. What's wrong?

Saving InDesign CS4 files for InDesign CS2

I'm about to upgrade from CS3 to CS4 but have a client who needs to open documents I create InDesign CS2. I've been saving files for this clients in CS3's interchange (.inx) format, which has worked fine. But CS4 .inx files will only open in CS3. One work around I found was on TUAW (http://www.tuaw.com/2009/05/08/tuaw-tip-saving-indesign-cs4-files-for-indesign-cs2/), which suggests opening the .inx file in a text editor and changing the version number. The resulting file should then open in CS4. I was wondering if anyone has tried this (with or without success) or has any advice on saving CS4 docs for CS2? Thanks very much!

I'll go with option 3 since I no longer have CS2 on my machine and my
client won't be upgrading anytime soon. Thanks for the help and great
advice.
I'd never use this workflow if I couldn't test it on CS2 before sending it off to the client. Don't know what to tell you here... good luck?
Me, harsh? Is that my rep?
Oh, come on. I can say it another way:
"Peter's going to be way too nice about this... DON'T DO IT."

How do I create an interactive PDF file in InDesign CS6 with Folio Overlays?

I have been trying to export an interactive PDF file using InDesign CS6. It exports fine, and all the content works except for the Folio Overlays I created. I created two Folio Overlays (one Pan & Zoom and one Scrollable Frame). The overlays work if I preview them from the Folio Overlays panel, but they do not work on the PDF document.
I am using File >> Export... to create the PDF document, and I am sure the PDF document is of the interactive type and not the print type. Am I exporting it incorrectly? Is there a specific step that I have missed somewhere? Do I need to create a Folio Build to make the Folio Overlays work?
When I mouse over the Folio Overlays, I get the crosshair cursor which only selects part of the image when I click and drag it.

PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of
overlap but not much.
The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.
