In Design CC Back saving IDML file is crashing CS6

I have done all the updates for CC and have the latest version, but when I try and export or save as an IDML file, and try and open the IDML file in CS6 it keeps crashing In Design.
Please Help!!

Do you mean have I updated CS6 to the latest version? That would be a no, but I have just got off the phone to adobe and I think, the problem has been sorted file was perhaps corrupted, created a new in-design document in CC by moving the pages and then saved as IDML and that seemed to open in CS6. Very strange, working now so am happy

When I save a CS6 InDesign file as an .idml file InDesign crashes and sends a report to Adobe.

When I save a CS6 InDesign file as an .idml file InDesign crashes and sends a report to Adobe.
When I restart InDesign the .idml file is in the directory as well as a locked InDesign file.
I cannot open the .idml file, instead I get the message:
Cannot open "" file. Adobe InDesign maynot support the file format,
a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing,
or the file may be open in another location.
I can however open an InDesign .idml file that was saved from InDesign CC software.
InDesign CC software is also unable to open the .idml file that I created in CS6.

It seems to be a corrupted IDML file. Does it happen with every file or only with that one.
What is the content of that file? Did you embed images or graphics or did you ink them? Size?
Maybe that this would help you: Re: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.

How to open a idml file created by CS6 in CS5?

I created a file in InDesign CS6 and saved as idml file yesterday.
But today I can not open either in CS6 or CS5 version.
It says
"Cannot open the file "Project #3.idml". 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."
Is there anyother way could open this file?

I chose from the drop-down list.
Maybe not.
Anyway, thank you very much!

I can't open idml file exported from CS6 in Indesign 4 or 6.

I created an InDesign document in CS6 and saved it as an idml file to be able open it on another machine with CS4. Unfortunately I did not save a copy in indd copy in 6. I get a message "Adobe may not support this format, a plug in might be missing." any ideas welcome, otherwise I start over Thanks.

No luck? Did you get any message?
"Adobe may not support this format, a plug in might be missing." is normally opening if you try to open an INDD in a previous version. That's why I supposed that it might be an INDD file with the wrong extension.
If the file is not corrupted you should be able to open any IDML in CS6 but also in CS4.
If you have saved it with the wrong extension, you could try to replace the wrong extension with a correct one.
You write also HDML? Are you sure that it is also not a HTML file?

Issues opening .idml file in InDesign cs6 originally from CC

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has had "issues" when opening an .idml file in cs6
which was saved out of InDesign CC.
More specifically, the following:
Some image links acquire an Opacity Effect of 43%.
And not every image in the file — only a handful (10 out of 50) images.
The (original) InDesign CC file has their opacity set at 100% (ie - no transparency applied at all)
Are .idml files typically buggy like this when opening in previous version?
Is this kind of irratic behavior to be expected?
Is there a fix?
Any input would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

@Lester – can you check, if the same problem occurs with IDMS files (Snippets) in InDesign CC ?
Just export a sample image to IDMS, create a new file and place the snippet.
IDMS is directly related to IDML. It uses the same properties and XML structure.
Just for testing purposes…
Hm. Your workaround is really no workaround. It is a dead end…

@Laubender
I selected one of the problematic images in cc, exported as idms. Then, created a new page in cs6 and placed that snippet file. It did not acquire the 43% opcaity. I'm not positive I did exactly what you were suggesting...or if this info is helpful.

How to revert back previous working files in InDesign CS6?

I have suddenly replace wrong working files, how to revert back previous working files in InDesign CS 6?
OS Mac version: 10.10.3
InDesign CS6 version

This feature does not exist in InDesign. You're best hope is that you have a backup of the previous file. Moving forward, you might want to try a free product called Radish that allows you to save versions and revert back to previous versions when needed. Here's a blog post I wrote about the product Story Versioning in InCopy | InCopySecrets.

Intermittent Bug when saving pdf files in Illustrator CS6

I save a pdf file in Illustrator CS6 with a specific art board size. When I open it in Acrobat the size is off. When our print's RIP's the file, it is off the same amount. I will re-open it in Illustrator and re-save it and just change the name, the artboard is then correct. This is very intermittent. It has happened on two copies of CS6. Both prograns are current with the updates. I am on a iMac running OS 10.6.8.

Document size is: 36.01 x 98.12
I can open up both documents in Illustrator and they are identical.
We have been using these presets for a couple of years without issue. The problem started happening about 3 weeks ago on 2 seperate computers. We have not seen the problem with CS5.5 and earlier.

CS5 cannot open .idml file exported from CS6

I've seen this question before from people having problems with other versions of InDesign. I, too, am having an issue with plug-ins that do not allow me to open an idml file. I downloaded the script that verifies the version used to create the idml to be sure it really was made from CS6, not CS5.5. It's not an empty file as it is 3.3mb Interestingly, when the customer packaged the file it came up with no links. It's a 32-page document with lots of photos, graphics, etc. How it is possible that it would not have any links? Any suggestions short of having to upgrade to CS6 would be helpful. Thank you.

Hi Peter,
I'm guessing it might have been a network corruption problem. She brought in her laptop, we made another .idml file and loaded it to a USB stick, then transferred it to my computer. The file opened just fine. And yes, she had pasted all her images, so we have her collecting the bits and pieces for me to review and relink everything. I believe I have the patch, but will double-check. Thanks!

Error message when saving a file in DW -CS6

When I go to save a file in Dreamweaver CS6, using Windows 7 -
I get this error message.
"While Executing onLoad in bc_afterSave.htm, the follwing javascript errors occured"
In File "bc_aftersave.htm";
onload is not defined
Everything was fine for years now I get this annoying error message. The file saves but the error message always pops up.
I am using the Adobe Application Manager and getting my software through the Adobe Cloud.
I tried deleting the configuration file with th expectation that DW would automatically create a new one but that did not work.
I'd hate to have to unintsall and reinstall DW because I have dozens of sites that I would need to resetup
Any help on this??

bc_aftersave.htm is a file that lies within Dreamweaver's Configuration Commands. Usually is required when working with Business Catalyst.
The error you see may be caused due to a faulty file.
I'm attaching the file at fault - 'bc_aftersave.htm' in this thread. Download and restore it to the following folder:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\<language>\Configuration\Commands
Locate the file bc_aftersave.htm, replace that file with the one I'm attaching here to see if it solves the issue.

Recover Non Saved Pages Files after Crash?

Just went through the horrendous experience of loosing many hours of work in Pages when my machine unexpectedly crashed. No I did not save. I am stupid, but how hard is it to design a program to auto save and recover after crash? Microsoft seems to have figured that out.
I have downloaded a 3rd party program to do it, but it is the end of using Pages for me. I really enjoyed the layout capabilities, but the omission of a file recovery feature moves this down to a 3rd tier application that looks good but does not meet the fundamental needs of users.
I am sure the work is lost forever but if there is a solution I am missing let me know.

The point is that software can do so much for us today, spell check, grammar check, automatic date, create PDF's etc... but it cannot accommodate recover after crash?
From my perspective my only mistake was using Pages in the first place. For that I can blame myself.

Saving Sliced files in Illustrator CS6 like it was in CS5 "Save for web and devices" gone?

Hello,
I used to save all my slices in CS5 and it would give me the option to save for web and devices, then when I was in there it would let me choose the option at the bottom Other... then I could go in and save it as a html and images and then it would automatically make div's for me when I brought it in to dreamweaver. Where did this option go in CS6? Can someone help I am on a big deadline, and I lost all my work transfering it back into cs5 to try it there like I used to. Attached is a .png to show what I mean.
Thank you,
DariusB
These options are not here in CS6 and I cant find it. I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks again.

Hi,
There have been some other changes too - here is the link to the article that describes the changes: http://blogs.adobe.com/ivandavid/illustrator_cs6_save_for_web/.

Elements in my IDML file are off centre

Hello, I have a designer who sent me back an IDML file (he's on CS6, i'm on CS5). On my end about 1/3 of the pages in a 100 page document are off centre by the exact same amount.
What's bizarre is that some of the off-centre elements are based off of a Master Page, and the Master Page is perfectly fine. Some pages that use master page elements are fine, while other pages are off centre.
Any idea why this is happening?
Right now i'm going through the pages one-by-one and re-arranging the page elements...

The fact is that IDML is not a tool for collaborative workflows and this
is just the kind of thing that can happen and why everyone should be on
the same version.

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 a IDML File with a table and 1000 rows simply hangs

Hello,
1. I generate IDML files that consist of a table with (1000 rows*9 columns) colour formatted cells. When I try to open the file it just hangs at "Open Document".
So you're probably thinking, there's something wrong with my IDML File?
2. I "place" an equivalent spreadsheet from Excel, with formatting. It transfers correctly. I save it as a IDML file, when I go to reopen this file, same problem as above.
3. In step 2, If I instead save the file as a INDD, the INDD file re-opens correctly & fast.
Our company catalogue has about 11728 rows * 9 columns.
I have a strange sense of Dejavu, and it all seems to be pointing to the way INDESIGN handles (or doesn't handle) XML

Sorry for the wall of text!!
Ya, i figured a non indesign solution was the way to go. Hence the LaTeX (Typesetting) + php thing. It didnt need to be in a table, but it needed to appear like a "table" format. Cells with each cell having borders etc and it will eventually go to print.
IDX!? I'll need to investigate this file format
Well not necessary to use excel, or tables, since I pull the information out from a MySQL database anyway. I wanted to use IDML because once the file format is just simple XML and extremely easy to manipulate. My awesome theory was, if it was already in a table format, that would make it even easier to manipulate - all i would need to do is write php code to add new rows (Directly into the file). A designer could make the IDML file template file for us, and I could write a script that populates the data directly into it.
We tried other methods such as merging XML into tag placeholders but while that worked fantastically on small amounts of data it grinded to a halt+crash on large amounts of data.
Ideally we wanted designers to make a template, and I.T. to just come along and insert the data accordingly. It also needed to be perfectly print accurate without alot of messing around. XSLT would be an interesting alternative, but our designers are again not very XSLT / EXCEL/ XML / X-Anything savvy. It would still need to be a programmers nightmare to get it to appear correctly (eg. mine).
Thanks for pointing out additional alternatives! There are some good things I had not considered.
Although I have found some additional benefits using LaTeX; Automatic Index, and table of contents (Sweet!) - it also handles any required text wrapping.
I think I'm flagging this thread as more of a bug thread than a request for a solution
We were looking into purchasing indesign server for some future endeavours but if I have no confidence in the desktop version of indesign, how can I be assured that the server version of indesign wont just cause the company more headaches down the line
thX!! awesome
