Missing Plug-in in CS3

On opening existing CS3 files a message comes up and says I'm missing
EXPORT MANAGER.RPLN
which is a plug-in and asks if I want to open it anyway. Everything opens fine but when saving it's like a "save as" and wants a file name and location - arg!
I found something about missing InCopy plug-ins and reinstalling them, but that was for CS2, and I can't find any info on this specific plug-in at all.
Any advice?
thanks!!

Thank you both!
I do have CS3 and this file is a contract file that has been going on for many moons, so it has probably gone through every version on indd since the first. The very strange thing is that this is a new message that just popped up this week and only in these contract files - so far anyway - so, I'm thinking it must have been left over from the old files - and the only thing I did was turn on a layer that has been off for litteraly years due to a missing link that I just recently found - could that have got the file to look for that old plug in?
I exported as the exchange file & reopened with and without the link layer on and the message is gone and saving perfectly.
Thank you both!

  • How do I rid a CS3 document of a "missing plug-in" when it is opened in CS4?

    Before I upgraded to InDesign CS4, I used to have a plug-in for cross-references. When I open that particular document in CS4 (originally made in CS3) a window pops up with this "Missing Plug-ins" message: "Cross-References.pln; The document uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system etc." I can open the document, make changes to it and save it as a CS4 document. But whenever I open it, the same pop up window appears with the same message.
    Is there any way to "clean" it (get rid of the plug-in) or do I have to make a new document from scratch?

    The usual way: export to INX, or, since this is a CS4 document, to IDML and open that. Exporting to INX/IDML removes all extra information from the file.

  • Unable to open documents because of missing plug ins

    I am unable to open documents in CS3 (version 5.04)
    I am getting a message:"Missing Plug Ins: Conditional Text.InDesignPlugIn, WorldReady.InDesignPlugin.
    The document "xxxxx.indd" uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?"
    If I click on OK I get another window, stating "Cannot Open File", a list of all kind of missing Plugins and the message "Cannot open "xxxxx.indd". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign.
    I don't want to switch to CS4 and as far as I know version 5.04 of CS3 is the latest.
    Any ideas of what I could do to get the latest PlugINs or anything else that would help?
    Thank you!
    Anne

    Probably, but it's 100% not necessary when going from CS4 to CS3. It might be a case of 'half read, then half-understood'.
    As this is a really frequent question and there are still no sticky posts: anyone up for a "feature request" that makes InDesign check the version number before opening? (Of course that wouldn't work backwards to CS3. Still, it'd avoid these kind of posts when CS6 comes out. Note: not CS5, because that would have no problems opening CS4, but CS4 would have problems with Cs5! Oh, for planning ahead ...  )

  • Missing plug-ins error

    Hello everyone,
    I am attempting to open an InDesign document that a client sent me and I keep getting missing plug in errors. I am using Indesign Cs5 on a Mac with Os 10.6. I have run into this issue before when trying to open files made on older versions of InDesign so I attempted to open the file with both Cs3 and Cs4 without any luck. Is there some where I can down load the missing plugins so I can view this file? If it helps at all the error I recieve is "Missing Plug-ins Shared Content.InDesign plugin", I scenerly hope I dont have to update to cs5.5 after only having cs5 for a year.

    It’s a CS5.5 file.
    If you upgrade to CS5.5 now you’ll get CS6 for free.

  • InDesign Reinstallation Missing Plug-ins

    Hi, all,
    Apple recently replaced the hard drive in my MacBook Pro.
    I reinstalled all my Adobe CS2 Creative Suite Software
    (from disks) and now can open none of the CS2 InDesign files
    I created prior to the hard drive replacement because of various
    missing plug-ins. The InDesign error message lists missing
    LILO.InDesignplugin and CellStyles.rpin.InDesignplugin
    as the culprits.
    Adobe told me this is due to a faulty reinstallation. So I de-installed
    and then reinstalled the whole creative suite. The problem persists.
    Apple says it's Adobe's fault, not theirs. Adobe now says they can't
    support me because they only offer support for CS3 and CS4.
    They've referred me to the collective wisdom of the forum.
    Can anyone help? Do I need to configure some plug-ins? Import
    some plug-ins? Where do they come from?
    Thanks.

    Hmm. I created all the files using my own software on my own laptop. If they were created in an updated version of CS2 would this error occur? I tried updating CS2 but that hasn't helped either, problem remains. I did install a trial copy of CS4 I downloaded and can open the files there...but I'll have to buy it.

  • InDesign file won't open, missing plug-ins

    Anyone ever seen this error message when trying to open an Adobe InDesign file?
    Missing plug-ins:
    worldready.rpln
    dynamicdocuments.rpln
    conditionaltext.rpln
    sharedcontent.rpln
    I am using a PC with CS6, but also tried another PC with CS3. Same issue with various backups of the files.
    The files seem to all be older than 2012, and appear to not have a program associated with them (appear as white icons, not typical color) even though they say InDesign, INDD file when you mouse over them.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Cs2 on xp, missing plug-ins

    I created an indesign document a few days ago, I opened the application, and tried to open the file, I get an error message, cannot open file, missing plug-ins: lilo.apln and cellstyles.rpun, if you click ok, then a then it says, cannot open file, and it lists .prun files, Cannot open filexx.indd. Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of adobe inDesign.
    I did not add in these plug ins, I went to adobe updates and it said no updates available.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I only have cs3 for flash, dreamweaver and photoshop.I only have Cs2 for inDesign.
    I was really surprised this happend, as when I created the document I had no errors during production. But when I tried to open it the next day to update the file, I had the error message. I had to use MS publisher to get this newsletter out to a client in a hurry.

  • Book operations disabled - missing plug-in

    I am working with CS4  (skipped CS3 entirely).  I am trying to create an index from a book and get the message that book operations are disabled due to a missing plug-in.  The plug in is contactcs.pln, which was probably intalled way back in InDesign CS by my predecessor.  What is this plug-in and/or how do I disable this from happening?  Thanks.

    (Thanks for the reminder!).  Your solution did work.  The files were cleaned up and  I was able to generate the index.  Thank you so much!!!!

  • HELP! - Missing Plug-ins

    I'm attempting to open an InDesign CS2 file and I get a message saying "Missing Plug-ins", "The document "blah blah blah" uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system."... and then it lists "LILO.InDesignPlugin" and "CellStyles.rpln.InDesignPlugIn". What does this mean? I've never had to deal with plug-ins before so know little about them. It is urgent that I get this file opened. Please help! Thank you.

    That's the error you get trying to open a CS3 file in CS2. Contact the
    sender and have it saved back via INX export but be aware that any new
    features in CS3 will be lost or badly mangled and text will likely reflow.

  • Missing Plug-in on Preview

    I receive the Missing Plug-In message when I drag a PDF file from the desktop into the Mail icon in the dock; however when I create a new message first, then drag in the PDF file to the body of the message, it works fine.
    I am also now receiving the Missing Plug-In message when I forward an email which contains a PDF file. The forwarded message does not contain the file, but only the Missing Plug-In words in the body of the message.
    What could be causing this?

    Alex,
    I solved the problem, and this is what I did:
    under quicktime preferences, click "advance" then "MIME settings" and make sure "images-still image files" is checked.
    Why it was unchecked, I don't know, but under default setting it is not supposed to be checked and i've never messed with the settings before and no problems ever occured
    So i have no clues why it happened the way it did.

  • When using my MAC desktop, when I try to play a video on the Apple Homepage I just get a spinning wheel and it says "missing plug-in".  What's the issue?

    When using my MAC desktop, when I try to play a video on the Apple Homepage I just get a spinning wheel and it says "missing plug-in".  What's the issue?

    Yep. I installed Lion this morning. Open Mail. All is good. Went to video on the Apple's homepage and my whole computer froze up. I couldn't even shut down the computer properly. I just had to shut it off and restart. :|
    Although, no "missing plug in" prompts were coming up for me. Just a frozen (brand new) iMac.

  • How to change the message in the Missing Plug-in dialog?

    Hi, all.
    I want to change the message in the Missing Plug-in dialog
    when a doc is opened containg data from a missing plug-in.
    I defined MissingPluginURLValue and MissingPluginAlertValue in ID.h
    which are used in ExtraPluginInfo.
    But there is nothing changed in the Missing Plug-in dialog.
    Can someone help me?

    As far as I know you can't change that on CUCM.
    On CME you can.

  • Missing Plug-In and Getting Blue Squares with Question Mark

    I am on a brand new pc, 64-bit Windows 7, all programs downloaded in the last week. I have used safari for years on my mac and want to keep using it on the pc but video and images are not displaying. For video content it says "missing plug-in" but doesn't tell me what plug-in I need. Some images do not display and I get the blue square with a question mark.
    I downloaded a plug-in from apple but it seems to be for Firefox. I installed the 64-bit beta Flash player and it didn't help. The next site I tried to access told me I needed the Flash player so I tried downloading the regular Flash player even though I knew it wouldn't work. It didn't download and seems to have taken the beta with it, wherever it went (have searched computer). Things that don't display in safari work just fine when I switch to Chrome.
    I have the latest version of Quicktime which came with iTunes. I messed with some of the default program settings, trying to get QuickTime to take over whenever possible but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
    On my mac I had used Flip4Mac to take care of similar issues. I didn't think I would have similar problems on the pc. Help anyone?

    Blue box with a question mark means that images are not available now.
    Servers storing those images may be down.
    Best.
