Opening an .indt file from InDesign

I'm trying to open a .indt file, when running the script from InDesign.
So far I've only been able to do so when running the script from the ExtendScript Toolkit with the following code:
var path="test/test.indt"
myFile = File (path);
myFile.execute();
However, when I run the script from InDesign, nothing happens. I've also tried the following version:
var path="test/test.indt"
myFile = File (path);
myFile.open();
This did not work either.
Please help me out.

Hi try the following code. It will work
var FilePath = Folder.decode(C:/Package/);  //where "C:/Package/" is the folder location
var FileName = File.decode(a.indd); //where a.indd is the indd file name
var fileLocation = FilePath + FileName;
app.open(File(fileLocation));

  • How can I open quarkxpress 8 files with indesign?

    Hi, prior to purchasing CC a sales person whom I spoke with using online chat confirmed that InDesign would open QuarkXpress files and a plugin was already in the application.
    I can't open any quark files from InDesign. Can this be done without purchasing a third party plug-in?
    Thanks in advance

    InDesign can natively open Quark 4.x and 3.x files only. To open anything
    later you’ll need a copy of Q2ID from Markzware.

  • Opening files from InDesign CC in CS3

    Hi all,
    I have been using the wonderful InDesign CC on trial at work with the idea of purchasing it. On the 29th day of the trial someone in the office mentions we have CS3 on a laptop somewhere with all the correct licenses etc...
    I have now successfully got this onto my PC, but now none of the files open as it says I am missing a whole list of plug ins and it suggests I upgrade... I dont want to upgrade as CS3 does everything I need it to at this point.
    I have a copy of CS5 on my personal macbook. Can I open them in there and do something to the files so that they will open in CS3 on my PC or is there another way round it?

    You have to save any INDD file from CC in CC as IDML file.
    Open that IDML file in InDesign CS4 version 6.x.
    Save that IDML in InDesign CS4 again as INDD.
    Export that file in InDesign CS4 as INX file.
    Open that INX file in InDesign CS3 version 5.x.
    Save that file in InDesign CS3 as INDD.
    Realize that a lot has changed, and you have to make a bunch of work to correct these problems.
    Have fun.

  • How do you open a cs7 file in indesign cc?

    How do you open a cs7 file in indesign cc?

    When you say InDesign CC, doo you mean the InDesign CC release from this year, or are you still using InDesign CS6 through a cloud subscription? There are a lot of users confused by this.
    If you have CS6 through a subscription you are entitield to the new version for free and should go to creative.adobe.com and download the newest version of the Creative Cloud Desktop Application and get the new versions of the applictions you use.

  • When i open an mp3 file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

    when I open a music file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

    If you use iTunes' default settings then when you add a file to iTunes it places a copy of the file in the iTunes media folder and it leaves the original in place.  The exception is when you drag it to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
    It does not convert the file.  You can delete the original if you wish.

    Looks like this particular file is not transferring to the SAP work directory.
    Could you please check and suggest us as to how to fix it.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Srivas

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    We verified  your OSS notes it's not relevant to us Because our issue is while opening the PDF aatchement it is not transferring to my SAP Work Directory because of that reason we are getting the KPRO error. When I'm opening the other PDF files it's transferring to my SAP Work Directory and it's automatically open without any issue.
    Please check and suggest.
    Thanks,

  • How do I get Adobe Acorbat to open a .pdf file from a sharepoint library without having to checkout the file

    I have a customer that is using Adobe Acrobat pro version 10.1. When they try and open a .pdf file from a SharePoint site, the user is prompted to check out and open the file or open the file. Is there a way to get Adobe Acrobat to open the .pdf file without prompting to check out or open?
    Thanks
    Jim

    This is mostly a lion thing, rather than a PSE thing. To disable applications opening where they left off last time for all the programs on your computer, go to system preferences>general and untick this box:
    You can also do on a per-program basis, but it's more complicated and the best thing to do is to search around for directions on the web and see which way is least uncomfortable for you.
    There's an odd little glitch in PSE that it opens the last image you had open, even if you closed it before quitting last time. Adobe says this is correct behavior, but of course it isn't.

  • Open an xml file from a URL

    i am trying to open an xml file from a URL.
    i have been using the standard (i think!) xml suite, part of the System Events. is this possible? is this the best way? are there alternatives? any good tutorials of how to use it too?
    the file i am trying to open is: http://www.tvrage.com/feeds/episode_list.php?sid=xxxx
    where "xxxx" is a number of a show, e.g. 2930 is buffy
    regards
    jingo_man

    It works!!
    I used the URL and BufferedReader classes to fill the parser. Here's how:
    // create a new object of type URL
    URL xmlURL = new URL( "http://ServerName/DbName/PageName?OpenPage&username=myname&password=mypassword");
    // Create the SAX2 parser
    SAXParser saxParser = spf.newSAXParser();
    xr = saxParser.getXMLReader();
    // Set the ContentHandler
    DefHandlerClass myHandler = new DefHandlerClass();
    xr.setContentHandler( myHandler );
    // read the URL stream into the BufferedReader
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader(xmlURL.openStream()));
    // parse the document
    xr.parse( new InputSource( in ) );
    // close the input stream
    in.close();

  • How do I open a .m4a file from Mail into Music app?

    How do I open a .m4a file from Mail into Music app?
    I mixed down a song from my band's latest session and saved it as a .m4a file (Apple AAC Audio format) and I e-mailed it to myself. Then on my phone I opened the e-mail message in Mail and held a long-press down on the attached .m4a file. But I do not see the option to open it up into the Music app. It only gives me the options of iMovie, WeChat, and USB Disk. Why would I want to open it up in those? It's a song. It should open up into the Music app so I can play it. What the heck?
    Please don't tell me that I have to use iTunes to do this and sync my phone to my computer, because I *do not* want to add these songs to my iTunes library. They are *practice session tracks* that I want to listen to then delete later when we have new versions.
    If there is no way to open them into the Music app, then is there a music player app I can get somewhere that will let me simply save audio files from Mail into it, and use it as a player for those songs? That's all I want to do.
    The only reasonable workaround I have found so far is to save them as .mp4 audio files, which the iPhone thinks are movies, so it lets me save them into the camera roll as Videos.
    Voice Memos would be acceptable as a place for them to be able to open into as well, but of course that's also not on the options list. Sigh.

    Why is that such an issue for you?
    Why do people insist on replying to threads without even reading the original post? I explained it there already!
    I don't have to use iTunes to save an image from Mail into my camera roll, or to save a PDF from Mail into iBooks. Why should I have to use iTunes to save a music file into Music app?
    But I'll repeat it since evidently you can't be asked to read the original posts before spamming a thread with questions that have already been answered. I *do not* want to add these songs to my iTunes library.
    My iTunes library is a sacred temple into which I only allow to enter the very best and highest-fidelity musical recordings of all time. I refuse to sully and soil my iTunes library with crappy practice mixdowns from my band, etc.
    Want to know why? Because I like to be able to hit "shuffle all" on my iTunes library and know that something that will improve my existence will emanate forth from this amazing device that I have invested thousands of dollars into (yes, I count my cell phone plan amongst the expenses).
    I shall not have the crappy burner mixdown tracks from my band's practice sessions come up every five songs (we generate TONS of these... literally hundreds... and they are all high-bitrate .m4a tracks in the 10-15 MB range). I let iTunes keep my music folder organized on my computer. It makes copies of everything being placed into it, and I don't want 159 GB of copies of burner tracks hiding like roaches throughout my temple. We don't name these files anything sensible (in fact the guy who mixes them down intentionally gives them random weird names) and they lack metadata. So there's no easy way to delete them back out of iTunes once they're in there. It's a huge pain; I used to do it, but I swore it off years ago and *I'm never going back!*
    The REAL question is, why does Apple force me to have to use iTunes—the most convoluted, kludgy piece of bloatware ever to issue forth from Cupertino—to do something as simple as adding an MP3 from Mail into the Music app on my phone? Why can't there be something simple—something equivalent to the Camera Roll inside the Music app, not only for the files I want to save from Mail, but also for my Garage Band exports, not to mention all the exports from all the various synthesizer, drum machine, and recording apps I use on a daily basis in iOS?
    It would be awfully nice to be able to play the songs I've recorded right in the Music app without having to go through the rigamarole of adding those files to my iTunes library, tagging them with metadata, syncing, etc. etc. yadda yadda yadda—just to delete them again as soon as I've synced so they don't pollute my computer's iTunes library!
    I bought Apple for ease of use, not so I would be forced to jump through a million hoops just do to something that ought to take one tap to accomplish!  That's ridiculous!

  • I cannot view PDF in Firefox at the first time but once I manually open the PDF file from my local computer, I can view other PDF files via Firefox webbrowser

    I install Adobe Acrobat 9 in my laptop which runs on windows 7. I use Firefox 3.6.8 and have the problem with the PDF file. The problem is I cannot open the PDF file in Firefox web browser at the first time I launch firefox. It shows a warning box without any message. Only OK button is shown so I can close it. However, if I manage to open the PDF file from my local computer by just using adobe acrobat itself then the PDF can be opened in the Firefox web browser. I followed the instruction on the mozilla help but nothing works for me. The problem still exists. I wonder if anyone have the same problem like me and know how to solve this. Thank you so much

    Hi there!
    I cannot help you, but I think we have a common problem: We got a system here running Vista SP1 with Acrobat 9 standard on it. When we open a pdf file it works normally, but when we open another pdf file, we see the first one in that second window.
    Think that missing option to watch several files within a single window-thing messed up more than meets the eye ... but as we just purchased the 15 licenses, we have to use version 9.
    I didn't find any clues on this problem, but I will post any new hints I get.

    Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!
    My question concerns the impossibility to open RAW-files directly from the program Adobe Bridge. At the moment when you open a RAW-file from Adobe Bridge by double-clicking, RAW-file is opened only in Photoshop. In the settings Adobe Bridge - in "open RAW-files by double-clicking in Adobe Camera Raw» box is checked. When you try any changes in the settings Adobe Bridge system displays a message:
    Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.
    The entire line of Adobe products on my computer updated to the latest updates. Previously, a family of products Adobe Photoshop on your computer is not set. Computer - PC, Windows 7 Enterprises.
