InDesign CS6 wont open a file

I have InDesign CS6 and i am trying to open an Indesign file that someone sent me and whenever i try to open it i get a prompt that says:
"Cannot open the file. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supposrts the file format may be missing or the file may be open in another application."
The file is not open anywhere else on my computer, and the file is an .EPS file.
How do i get it to open?

Its a file for my company that is going to be used as a cover sheet for different types of files but the information will be changed depending on what is going to be in the different files. For example if the files are for interviewing then the front of this cover sheet will need to say "Interviewing". Currently it says "Quality".
I do not have illustrator or i would just change the text in Illustrator.

Trying to edit video but Photoshop cs6 wont open the files.

Trying to edit video but Photoshop cs6 wont open the VOB files. I tried to change the extension to AVI and then drag it in. It works but it's distorted. All the heads in the photo are narrow and tall. Can anyone help me figure this thing out? I'm sooo frustrated! Thanks

I assume these came from a DVD? Was this DVD an encrypted holywood DVD or a home video that you got of something like sky diving? You'll probably need photoshop extended to switch pixel aspect ratios. Or convert them into a format that photoshop understands with a 1.0 pixel aspect ratio. Do you have access to adobe media encoder?

Indesign cs6 wont open files

When I attempt to open a .indd file the file will not open and it creates 1000's of temp file in the foldere the files resides. Indesign itself open however. This has only started happening.

Operating System?
How do you open the file? Does this happen with all files? Can you create a new file and save it? Will it reopen?
Where are the files stored?
Does it happen if you create a new user account and log in on that?

CC 10.1 Error with InDesign CS6 When Opening a File

I have Adobe CS6 and came across an issue when a fellow employee sent me a file. When attempting to open an .indd file in InDesign, a dialog box popped up stating "Cannot open because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CS (8.1)" After noticing that I needed to update my CS version, I installed the updates and found that it now states "Cannot open because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CS (10.1)" What does this mean? I've checked and I have InDesign version 8.0.2. and I don't have any more updates to install. Can anyone explain to me why this error is occurring and how to resolve this? I've received an .idml version of the file I'd like to open and that seems to work, however I'd like to resolve this issue so as to prevent this again. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Adobe Indesign CS (10.1) is the latest version of Indesign which is the 2014.1 release. As you saw exporting the 2014.1 file to .idml allows you to open it with CS6.

InDesign CS6: Cannot open the file ...

Hi there,
I think I just blew my file by embedding every picture inside the file. It's a ~130 page long user guide with A LOT of pictures.
I saved it successfully a few days ago, and now tried to open it again to finish working with it. But then I get this error:
I'm a relatively new user to InDesign and didn't think much about it embedding all the stuff.
The file size grew to 11.5 GB. Which is a lot, but I was still able to work quite smoothely while it was open, so I thought everythings fine. System is Windows 7.
I've already searched the forums and didn't find any solutions on getting the file working again. Afaik it's the only file I have to use, no backups done. Biggest. Mistake. Ever. I know...
...but im positive somebody here might help. Thank you.

Not a good sign. I'll send you an upload link and you can send it to me if you like, but the best I may be able to do is confirm it won't open.
If that's the case, your best hope is probably markzware.com: Bad InDesign or Quark File Recovery Submission Form
If you mention on the takein form that you learned about the service here on the forum, and add a link to this thread, you may get a discount on your first recovery.

Can I use InDesign cs6 to open and work with PM6.5 files?

Can I use InDesign cs6 to open and work with PM6.5 files?

Lrak wrote: "It sounds like I should to that before endeavoring to transfer the manuscript?" (re-link)
It should be much easier to re-link in the Pagemaker file, as, with any luck, you can get the filenames from the Graphics Manager. After conversion to InDesign, any out-of-date linked images get their names converted to something like "image 123.jpg", and are themselves converted to an embedded low res representation of the image. Even vectored art. Pretty hard to figure them out, unless you are VERY familiar with the file, which you may be.
It may be that any cropping gets lost, too? I do prepress work, we do some set up for our customers, but most comes in pretty much ready to go, so I don't often have to did too deep into fixing such issues. On the other hand, any problem that can happen has probably crossed my desk, or it seems that way some days!

I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

Hello waitingone,
please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
Good luck!

Illustrator CS6 wont open, stops at loading fonts - MAC OSX

I have a MAC OSX 10.8.5. My Illustrator CS6 wont open anymore. It keeps stalling while loading the fonts. I have uninstalled and re-installed the program twice and also tried deleting the font that it stalled at but then it would just stall when trying to load the next font. I did notice that it seemed to be stalling on fonts that AREN'T OTF format. I also wasn't sure to delete the fonts out of the SYSTEM, LIBRARY, FONTS folder or the other fonts folder location in LIBRARY. I really need to get this program working, please help!!!!!

thank you, already did that

Elements 13 wont open raw files from Nikon d750

Elements 13 wont open raw files from Nikon d750 camera, wont update either from the help menu, any ideas what to do.

carper
According to Adobe document, you require installation of at least Camera Raw 8.7 for your Nikon 750 for your Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13.
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
And, I believe based on the following that Photoshop Elements 13 Premiere Elements 13 ships with Camera Raw 8.6.
https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
Consequently, the solution appears to revolve around getting the Help Menu/Updates to work since there is no manual install of Camera Raw 8.7 for 13.
Until the Premiere Elements update problem is resolved, you may have to resort to using the Nikon software. There is also the DNG 8.7 Converter
which you can download from Adobe link, not requiring the Help Menu/Update as does Camera Raw 8.7.
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7
There have been several reports of Help Menu/Update failures. I have not seen a generalized solution. I can only offer the
the typical "Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?"

Have you updated your Photoshop to get the latest Camera Raw update patch? If not go to:
Help >> Updates
This should get you the necessary updates for your camera assuming it is not "too recent".
Good luck and post back.

Indesign CS6 crashes opening some documents

Hi,
updated to Yosemite today and realise that Indesign CS6 crashes opening some documents.
Anyone has same issue with me? Two people from my team updated to Yosemite and have same issue.
Thinking of downgrade to Maverick but with no luck...
Please help.
Thank you.

I find InDesign CS6 is running incredibly slowly and erratically (constantly producing the spinning rainbow fruit gum of death) ever since I 'upgraded' to Yosemite. Has anyone at Apple remembered that the original users (loyal as we once were) all used Macs and now all use InDesign?? This upgrade has caused all kinds of problems with Font Explorer (forcing me to upgrade that), Illustrator wouldn't load without some Java plug in ... Can't wait to retire and have done with all this nonsense.

How can I get Indesign CS6 to open JPG/PNG files?

I recently purchased Indesign CS6. When I went to import a PNG, it failed to recognize it. I then tried a JPG to no avail. The exact error message reads as follows:
"Cannot open the file "photo.png". Adobe Indesign May not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be in another application."
How could the plug-ins be missing? Wouldn't these be installed with Indesign? Any advice as to how to proceed?.
Thanks in advance.

You need to use the file>place command.
This is very, very basic and I'd respectfully suggest that you take a step back and learn a bit about the program. This link will get you a free one week trial of Lynda.com where you'll find some fabulous video training: http://bit.ly/RS0GXs

InDesign CS6 - Error opening files

I have been using InDesign CS6 with Windows 8 for over a year, and today when I opened the program and attempted to open one of the recent files I got this error message:
"Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application"
I did not do any udpates, or anything differently than I have been when saving, etc. but I cannot seem to open any of the files i had previously saved with this program. I have tried everthing I can think of, including a reset but still no luck. Any suggestions?

Usual troubleshooting might be to delete any .lck files in the document's folder (if there are any) or to reset InD prefs.
Besides that, sometimes on-access virus scan can make a file busy for a short period of time after selecting a file.

Cannot open .pdf created by InDesign CS6, can open all other .pdfs

I just got InDesign CS6 at work (I use CC at home, but my company could not afford the CC subscription). I'm on PC with the minimum specs for InDesign and Photoshop Elements (also just installed). I have never been able to print to .pdf from InDesign; the program hangs. I have been doing Export to .pdf, press quality with my printer's specs. This has been working fine, except that, on occasion, I have to export the .pdf a few times to get it to open; it will give me an "either not a supported file or damaged" error message. Up until today, I have been able to export 2-3 times and would always get a .pdf that would open.
As of today, I cannot open any .pdf at all; I get that same "not supported or damaged" error message. However, if I let my computer sit idle for about 30 minutes, it will open. In addition, after exporting, InDesign hangs on a background task of "Export " 5" and I have to close out of that task to do anything further in the program.
I have read the forums on these issues and done what I can: I have installed all updates, backsaved to earlier Acrobat versions, exported to .idml, etc. Nothing helps.
I will confess that I am not the most technically-savvy person by any means. My company is small and does not have an IT person, nor is there a budget for calling someone in, so it is up to me and my admittedly limited understanding of this software to fix this issue.
Help?

You may have shown me part of the problem. I can't share one of the files I'm working on, as they're full of images and we have client protections that make sharing problematic, but I did try to recreate a new file with garbage text and graphics and that .pdf opened without any problem.
Could this be a file size issue? The files I'm working on are only 8,900 kb and 200 kb. That doesn't seem too large to me, but perhaps it's enough to cause a problem on my machine.
