Opening file crashes Indesign CS5.  What now?

I was able to find a discussion about this, but it seem like it ended without a solution.
If this is a font issue, is there a solution to this?  I went to Font Book and cleared out any errors from all my fonts.
I created multiple backup files for this particular file and none of them open.  All of them crashes my Indesign CS5.
Any suggestion on what I can do?

thanks John.  The font thing worked.
Great. What do you have to do around here to get Correct Answer points, anyhow? ()
Anyhow, I guess I should post the relevant stack trace in case other people have the same problem and are searching for it, since it got edited out above:

  • How do I open files in InDesign CS5.5 CS5?

    How do I open files in InDesign CS5.5 CS5?

    Hi, are you trying to open up a CS5.5 document in CS5? If so you need to export the docment while in InDesign CS5.5 to the IDML format.
    Please refer to this document: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6d52a.h tml#WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6d4da

  • Can't Open Files in InDesign CS5 Made with CS5.5

    Try telling students who barely have two nickels to rub together these days that they have to outlay $400-500 dollars every year to be able to keep up to date with the programs at their schools. I can barely get these kids to package their files properly and now they have to remember to export their files to idml and remember to put them in their folders before they copy it onto their external hard drive to bring it home to work on. Is it really necessary to update every bloody year and charge these kids so much to upgrade. And this time only for a .5 upgrade?  A lot of these kids have parents that are sacrificing every thing to pay for their kids college education. What message is adobe sending to these kids? That the study of graphic design is only for the rich who can afford to upgrade every year. Have a heart in this economy.
    Your points about the hardship of expensive learning materials, and the extra work involved in saving to IDML, are all valid.
    If/when online applications come into common use, some of the issues may fade away, because the newest and older versions will always be available for a user to choose from.
    In the meantime, perhaps some of these suggestions will be useful:
    * Adobe's volume licensing plan (VLP, I think) and transactional licensing plan (TLP) have been mentioned in this forum, in regard to the option of buying licenses for earlier releases. My thought is that your school could "freeze" their installations at a useful recent release, to extend the useful life of a student's own purchased educational copy. Search Google for terms like "InDesign volume license transactional license" without quotes. Also, perhaps someone who knows more about these options will jump in here.
    * Unless there are compelling class needs for the new features in new releases, there's no need to upgrade. Depending on the course's level, some features wouldn't be needed for lower-level classes; for the higher-level classes, use the newer software.
    * If possible, allow students to install DropBox, or other  online storage software, on the school computers, so they can save files remotely, and access them from any Internet connection. This won't eliminate the saving to IDML step, but it can eliminate the copy-to-transport-media step, simplifying things a bit. There may be security and other IT issues here to be worked out.
    * For students who intend to enter the design career, it may be less expensive to buy an upgradeable non-educational license, or even - shudder - a subscription. Subscriptions, I believe, can be activated and deactivated for specific periods, like rental cars, so, for example, if/when a student graduates and takes a job where the employer provides the software, or the student doesn't need the software for a semester or quarter, the subscription can be idled, and there's no cost. If the student becomes an independent designer, the subscription can be reactivated when there's work to be done. I believe Bob Levine once posted a comparison, on this forum, of cost-to-license InDesign, for subscriptions vs. other licensing methods. Bob?
    Sometimes folks compare the ongoing cost of software and upgrades to other industries and careers that don't seem to have the same issues. However, the tools needed in many industries and careers are no longer so static, as in the past. Carpenters who worked with manual tools could use hammers, screwdrivers, etc., until they wore out or broke, but  the introduction of electric nail drivers, screwdrivers, and drills forced production carpenters to upgrade their tools. Perhaps the increased output of mechanized tools balanced their increased cost. Draftsmen's triangles, T-squares, pens, etc., don't need upgrades, but there have been about 20 AutoCAD software releases for them to keep up with.
    Recently I had to replace my 1991 stick-shift car with a "new-to-me" 2005 model. It's like all the newer cars I've rented at times - automatic everything. I've done most maintenance and repair on the old one, and I always carried tools in case something broke on the road, and I could fix it myself. The new car is a disaster; the only fixing and maintenance I might possibly do is change a flat tire, add fuel, window-washer juice, oil, power brake and steering fluids, wash the exterior, vacuum the interior, set radio-station presets, and change the battery in the remote-control device that opens and locks the doors, and activates the entire computerized beast. There's nothing for me to do but open the doors, get in, turn on the engine, and aim in some direction.
    Mechanics, whose basic-level wrenches and ignition-timing strobe lights were capable of doing an amazing range of tasks over decades of model changes, now need annual expensive software upgrades for the computerized tools that troubleshoot and maintain the modern rolling computers that have replaced cars as some of us knew them.

  • Cannot open file in Indesign CS5

    This is the error message I get:
    Please help

    Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
    You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X  or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

  • Open a URL link in the same window as SWF file in indesign CS5

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a SWF file using indesign CS5.  I have created buttons and placed in URL links but they always open another window.  I would like to know if there is a way to have the URL open in the same window that the SWF file has been created.  I tried, putting "_self" to target it in the URL bar, but nothing works.
    Thanks in advance
    TK

    Okay, I found the code but I can't get it to work locally.  If you have a web server maybe you can upload the files (swf and html) after you Publish them:
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://www.google.com");
    testlink.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickText);
    function clickText(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
    navigateToURL(myURL, "_self");
    you have to have on the stage a link element called "testlink" (see the code above) which would be a Movie Clip with the label testlink.  It can be anything from InDesign:  a button, a rectangle, a circle, a graphic, you get the idea.  Just select that object in Flash and label it testlink or anything you choose but if you change the name from testlink also change the name in the code snippet where the line "addEventListener" is.

  • How can I convert Pagemaker 7.0 file to InDesign CS5.5?

    I have problem with open pagemaker file to InDesign CS5.5. Before I was using PageMaker 7.0. Now I have InDesign CS5.5 & tried to convert my old file to InDesign. But I am having problem to convert. When I convert Pagemaker File, all text looks uncleare and unredable. I can't edit text and tables. Below is a image after converting from pagemaker.

    Start by reading the InDesign Help section on opening PageMaker files.  It suggests some steps to do IN PAGEMAKER BEFORE you do the conversion:
    •If the PageMaker file or its linked graphics are located on a network server, floppy disk, or removable drive, it may not open as expected if an interruption in data transfer occurs. To prevent data transfer problems, copy documents and their links to the hard disk, preferably in the same folder where the PageMaker publication is stored, before opening them in InDesign.
    •You may want to use Save As in PageMaker to clear unnecessary hidden data.
    •To ensure that all links are maintained, copy all linked files to the same folder where the PageMaker publication is stored.
    •Make sure that all necessary fonts are available in InDesign.
    •Repair broken graphics links in the PageMaker publication.
    •If you have a problem converting a large PageMaker document, convert portions of the PageMaker file separately to isolate the problem.

  • Possible to create medium res .pdf file with InDesign CS5?

    Hello,
    Can anyone tell me if there is a way to create a medium res .pdf file with InDesign CS5?
    I'm working with a client and have been sending him both high res and low res files of a catalog project. High res .pdf is 12.8MB and low res is 1.2MB. He is asking whether I can create something in between the two, say somewhere around 6 to 8 MB.
    Any insight would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Tania

    PDFs do not have a resolution. The graphics within do, however..
    Look at the downsampling settings and experiment until you get what you want.

  • Damaged Files in InDesign CS5

    Hi Friends,
                   How can find, File whether damaged or not before opening that file in InDesign CS5....?

    That's enough information. The file is damaged, period.
    All file sizes created by InDesign are multiples of 4,096 bytes. Additionally, all files created by InDesign start with a standard structure of 8,192 bytes -- and at that point there is *nothing* inside the file, it's all header.
    Checking with Javascript is the most senseless thing to ask. How could that even work? You start a script, point to a file, and it says "file is damaged" -- for each file you want to open?

  • Problems importing PageMaker 6.52 file into InDesign CS5

    I have an 11-year old file that I need to import into either InDesign CS5 or FrameMaker 9 on Windows 7. The file was originally done on a Mac, so it had no extension. I have tried adding the .PM6 extension, but when that didn't work, I tried the .P65 extension. I know from the PDF properties that the file was done in PageMaker 6.52, but I don't have PageMaker, and neither does the original author at this point.
    When I try to import the file into InDesign CS5, I get this message: "The PageMaker document is damaged and cannot be recovered." (Note that I am using CS5, not CS2, so the issues I've seen posts about should not apply.)
    When I try to impor the file into FrameMaker 9, I get this message: "The filter encountered an error and could not complete the translation."
    I could try converting the PDF, but I'd like to get this file converted if that is possible.
    I am posting this in the FrameMaker forum as well to see if they may have any insights.
    Tammy

    It could well be that the error message is accurate and the file is damaged.
    If you’re on Windows you could download the PM 7 trial and try opening it with that. If that works, resave the file and then move it to InDesign.
    BTW, you keep saying import. InDesign cannot import a PM file, it can only open them.

    While updating my ipad1 to IOS5 it crashed!! What now??

    Crashed meaning it will not start now? Try resetting the iPad and go from there.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Give more details as well for better instructions from the community.

  • I can't open PDF files in InDesign CS5

    Hi all,
    I can't seem to open any PDF files of any version while using InDesign CS5...
    I'm currently running InDesign in Windows 7 Professional x32bit...
    This message keeps popping up:
    Cannot open the file "TIG_Sheet_and_Application.pdf". 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.
    I've made sure that the file was not open in any application, and its not just this particular pdf files... all PDF files can't be opened. The only thing that actually opens in InDesign are the indd files...
    I try going through the plug-in list, but there's a bunch and I'm not sure which one is it...
    Tried google search for a solution but found no solution...
    Can anyone help me?
    Cheers,

    krystlew, and others reading this thread and considering the answers "snarky" or "not helpful": note that this is the InDesign SDK forum -- that is, a question posted here should be about programming for InDesign:
    About this Forum
    The InDesign SDK forum is for discussions on InDesign plugin development using the InDesign SDK. InDesign plugins are developed in C++.
    Presumably, you found this discussion because the error message lead you here: that you cannot "open" a PDF. That's InDesign's usual message for all content that it cannot 'open' with the command "File > Open..."; try for example with a Word document, a JPEG image, or an Excel spreadsheet. InDesign is perfectly able to import these files -- but you cannot use "File > Open...". You must use the command "File > Place..." instead. "Placing a PDF" is described in the online Help: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/placing-graphics.html
    It is a regular User Interface question and so unrelated to what this forum is for. General InDesign questions can be asked in the regular user forum: https://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign/content
    I believe that the original question was posted in error in this forum and thus got interpreted as "what do I need to code to natively open PDFs". The answer is: lots. InDesign does not provide anything to natively read a PDF, so you would have to program literally everything.
    (Some of the other posts ask why InDesign cannot already do this -- and the answer is, "Because It Is Incredibly Hard". The counterargument I usually give is that InDesign can also import (place) and export JPEG images and yet it is not a JPEG Editor. I can provide technical arguments as well. One is, there are lots of ways to construct PDFs in such a way that important content information is lost -- even something as basic as "what text is actually here".
    ... So, kudo's to Markzware for making it possible anyway! If you found this post because you need to convert a PDF file to a native, editable InDesign document, try their software.)

  • .indd files all greyed out, cannot open from within Indesign CS5

    Dear all,
    On a iMac g5 i7 with Indesign CS5 (7.0.4).
    Since yesterday all .indd files are greyed out when trying to open them from Indesign (command-o).
    From Finder they open fine still...
    Can't find anything on the web.
    Clues?
    Thanks,
    Dirkjan

    Indeed, you clearly need to find the source of the problem.
    In my limited experience, this kind of thing happens when some program misbehaves and causes the LS Database to get corrupt. This usually happens as a one-time event, so rebuilding is an easy solution.
    In your case, obviously the problem is chronic, so you will need to get to the bottom of it.
    There is no reason to assume that InDesign is at fault. I'm afraid I don't have any tips for you. Contact an Apple support path, I guess.

  • IDML file crashes InDesign. INDD CC file opens fine

    I created a file in Indesign CC. Saved as .indd and as .idml. The .indd files opens fine, the .idml file causes Indesign to crash. No errors, just a long wait, then a forced quit.
    InDesign is up to date. Created a new document, copied and pasted document contents to new file, same issue. Shrunk one of the larger images in case it was too large to load, error still occurs.
    System: Windows 7
    How can I fix the .idml file?

    Forced Quit is not a crash. You might have a hang, or it might just be taking a long time to process if there are a lot of pasted vectors or missing links.

Maybe you are looking for
