InDesign file Opens but can't create working IDML File

Hello all, I'm working on an a Mac OS X system and  have an InDesign CS4 file (originally created on a PC) that opens without any problems. When I try to export an IDML from this InDesign file, the IDML makes InDesign crash when trying to open it. I have also tried exporting an INX and come across the same problem. I have narrowed it down and it appears that the problme has to do with the Master pages. Does anyone have any suggestions/guesses what the issue may be?

Well, you have the IDML file, so your problem is trivial! Divide and Conquer!
Just keep removing portions of the IDML file until you find the problem! Then inspect carefully or post a small excerpt.
Are you running 7.0.4? It fixed a lot of IDML export problems, though I don't know about import problems.
What does the thread0 section of your crash report look like?

  • How can we create the DBC file?

    Hi all,
    I am attempting to run the test_fwktutorial.jsp within the toolbox.jws/Tutorial.jpr project in Jdeveloper . We have to provide the Oracle application DB connection in the project properties ( we have to provide this as a DBC file) . How can we create the dbc file from the Database connection ? i tried to export the DB connection in Jdev , but it is getting exported to xml file rather than dbc file . Please help to fix this.

    Yes, you can do that.
    Put both the DBC files under dbc_files\secure folder.
    You can change the dbc files from project settings and point to the desired file.
    I am not sure, but maybe you need to stop JDevloper and start again for the new DBC file to take effect.

  • How can I create multiple PDF files from multiple InDesign files?

    I have 144 InDesign files that I need to create a PDF file for each. I do not want to open each InDesign file to create the PDF's. Acrobat Batch create won't open the InDesign files. Is there another way?

    Only InDesign can do this. You may want to look at InDesign automation.

    Make the tab control a control and not an indicator. If you want to write
    to it you need to create a local variable.

  • Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Ok this is bizzare!
    Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
    So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
    AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
    I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

  • I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again

    I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again it says that the "Object Already Exists."  It may exists, but it is not visible in the file or in my list of programs on the Startup Menu.

    You should not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 12/12.1 in order to install and run Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer unless your computer is overloaded and the computer resources are compromised. Just use one program at a time.
    Can you still use 12/12.1 on this same computer that will not let you use 13?
    What specific Window operating system are you using?
    Let us go through the usual drill...
    1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    3. Did you install the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    4. Disable the SLCache Folder found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
    Local Disk C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder should be the SL Cache Folder that you delete or disable by renaming the Folder
    from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
    5. Are you running the program as Administrator and is the latest version of QuickTime installed on the same
    computer as Premiere Elements 13?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • HT201412 My i Pad 3 shows "cannot Access Find My Friends open the app and review your sign in information to continue sharing your location. And I have two buttons : Later and Open but they don't work, As long as I have this situation I can do nothing on

    My i Pad 3 shows "cannot Access Find My Friends open the app and review your sign in information to continue sharing your location. And I have two buttons : Later and Open but they don't work. As long as I have this screen situation, I cann't do anything on my I Pad. Please help !!

    I have the same problem on my iPhone4. It is obviously a bug in the software. Once it pops out I am locked out of my phone. I can't even begin to describe the frustration this causes. All that stuff about holding down the buttons is useless. the phone won't even shut off. I can take a screen shot like that or go to voice control. Even when I got to a wifi connection, I can't get on. This app blocks everything else. This is a serious bug and can have serious consequences. The only thing my phone would do is go to voice control and let me play iTunes or phone people. Some smart phone hey?
    I have finally got to a place with a wide enough wifi to connect my computer and restore the phone. This has lasted over a day!
    I don't even know why Find My Friends is on my phone. Is it part of the package and how do I turn it off?

  • Update to Muse 2.3 Crashes. Windows 7 x64. "openCreate can't create database over file..."

    I updated to Muse 2.3. Everytime I open an old site or create a new one then try to save or save site as, I get error message "openCreate can't create database over file that already exists"
    I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling Muse and Air (a couple of times). Also tried the cleaner.
    Any suggestions? Of course a tad urgent. Muse is great program, but its usefulness seems to be inversely proportional to the urgency of need.
    Thank you for any help.
    Alan

    Thanks Zak for getting back to me so quickly. I seem to have solved the problem (fingers crossed).
    I restored my Windows 7 system to a point before I installed the latest update to Muse (2.3) [the restore also went back before large windows update that happened this week]. I tried to start Muse up and I got an error message saying it was a damaged installation. I uninstalled then reinstalled AIR. Then I reinstalled Muse. Seem to be working fine now.
    The only thing I can think that happened to mess things up was that I used the Cleaner after I uninstalled Muse originally? I used it for the CS6 version. I noticed that Muse was listed under my CS 5.5 installation too (I think it said Muse 16 - maybe v1 or the beta?). I uninstalled that too so maybe I had a corrupted installation from earlier or the beta still hanging around my system?
    I really appreciate the prompt support. I will let you know if anything else happens - let me know if you'd like any more info.

  • How can I create an Excel file?

    Hi,
    How can I create an Excel file using Forms 6i.
    What I'm doing is to create a file using TEXT_IO package an name it .XLS. If a read it double-clicking over the file, it opens Ok but If I open directly from Excel it opens the Convert dialog.
    I need to create an excel file as it was made from within Excel.
    Thank in advance,

    When you are talking about subfiles, are you talking like Package contents of an application?
    Terminal application in Applications -> Utilities can give a command line grasp of all your files using the du command.
    Type
    man du
    when entering the terminal, followed by the enter key.
    Note, by default the terminal opens at the Home folder.   To navigate outside the Home folder enter "/Volumes/name of mounted drive/folder/subfolder" as your path.  If there are spaces in the name, putting quotes around the whole path can help.    If you end your du command with a > name.txt a text file with the name name.txt will be plugged into your Home directory.  That you can open with Excel and parse by /es thus giving you everything in Excel.

  • Can you create a .ics file from entries in a PDF?

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if anyone can help me: Can you create a .ics file from entries in PDF?
    Example:
    I'm wanting people to be able to choose a number of dates for some events within a PDF, then click a button that will then create a (or number of) .ics files so they can add those dates to the calendar of their choice. Is this possible?
    Thanks

    Using the solution supplied by Leonia, and cited by Keith, you can do the same thing (flopping the Curve profiles) in LightRoom. So, it makes sense. Though I didn't know know it worked for Color Negatives.
    A friend of mine with a Nikon Coolscan is going to scan nearly 150 B&W rolls of 35mm negatives for me, and I want to import them all into Aperture, naming and keywording as I go. The objective is, of course, to have the convenience of a diigtal library. But also to have some made into large prints for framing.

  • Safari 5.1.2 won't open in lion and mail opens but can't get email

    I turned on my computer the otherday and I couldn't get safari to open. When I click on it it just bounces in the dock for hours. I tryed to do a software update, which included updating safari, but my computer got stuck in the installing screen and after a full night I eventually had to hold the power button. Also my mail is opening but can't recieve emails and the only way to close it is by force quitting it. I ran Onyx and was able to get safari and mail working and was also able to install the update, but about an hour later it started doing the same thing. Any help?

    Since this is a forum for the MacBook Pro hardware, you should go to the Safari and Lion forums.  Do a search and/or ask a question.  Hope this helps.
