Promblem opening .indl file in cs3 indesign

I have an .indl file from taken from a mac version of CS3 at school. I operate a CS3 version on vista and when I try to open the file I get this message. Any suggestions?

Ah yes, MateoMM, as Jongware has pointed out please ignore what I said about indl not sounding right! It's a "library file" rather than an Indesign document. But the fact it has likely been created in CS4 or 5 is the reason you can't open it in CS3. As to how you can make a library compatible with an earlier version though I am completely stumped.

If you plan on collaborating with other users who have progressed with the technology you are gong to have to upgrade. There is simply no way any longer to continue with XP and CS2 except in isolation.

Cannot open DNG files in CS3 or Lightroom?

When I convert RAW files from my new DMC-LF1 camera to DNG, I can not open the files in CS3 or Lightroom. Isn't DNG supposed to be a universal format?
I do not have problems with converted DNG files from my Nikon cameras.

I use the free Adobe DNG Converter vers. 8.1 der supporter mit Panasonic DMC-LF1. I just downloaded this version and now am able to open my Panasonic DNGs in Lightroom, but not in CS3. There are no problems opening my Nikon DNGs in both programs.
This certainly leaves the problem about DNG as a universal format lasting far out in the future, doesn't matter what camera the file came from.

As far as I know DNG is supposed to be standardised format. What are you using to convert the RAW files to DNG?

Can't open .inx files in CS3 that were created in CS2

I am presented with a message..
'Indesign.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
This happens when I open a .inx file from it's location by double clicking on it and also if I open CS2 and use the file>open route...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Bear in mind that when you open a CS2 .inx with CS3 (assuming that it works), there is no information about the CS2 composition in the file, so CS3 composes everything. Thus, you might well see reflow that you won't see if you just open a CS2 file with CS3.
On the other hand, if you do open a CS2 .indd with CS3 with the intention of doing further work on it, be prepared for that reflow to suddenly happen the moment you start trying to edit any text.
This is actually a good argument for going the .inx route in the first place -- all surprises of layout and composition hit you in the face immediately rather than happening hapharzardly as you work with the document.
You could use the Document Reflow command (Ctrl + Alt + /) after opening the .indd to get the composition changes over with in one swell foop.

Trouble opening .inx files in CS3 - links randomly replaced with foo.jpg

I have to move a lot of CS4 InDesign files to CS3, and I often run into a bizarre problem. After opening an .inx file in InDesign CS3, sometimes perfectly normal PDF, JPG, EPS and AI files will mysteriously be replaced with a linked file called "foo.jpg" that InDesign thinks is missing (it always reports the path as "c:foo.jpg"). I then have to go figure out what the original file was actually called and where it was saved and relink it manually.
There is no rhyme or reason to when linked files don't come over - our logo is saved in one location and linked in every single piece we make, yet sometimes it links fine when imported into CS3 and sometimes it doesn't. Going back to CS4 and exporting a new .inx file never works - a file that will not link correctly in CS3 will never show up correctly.
It always thinks "foo" is a .jpg file, even if the original link was actually a .pdf, .eps or whatever.
Any ideas? I'm perplexed.

Smells like a bug to me. Did you try reporting it?
What happens if you search the incp file for "foo"? Does it find
anything?
When the vendor opens the file, what is the link name on his end?

Text reflow after opening IDCS2 file in CS3?

Has anyone experienced text reflow when opening a legacy InDesign CS2 file in CS3? This is a serious problem if it happens in book documents. I want to make a case (or not) for keeping the old version on our computers for opening legacy files.

It's not unheard of. Even if the text looks perfectly normal at first sight, the tiniest editing will cause a recompose.
On the two upgrades I had so far, I made a point of never to open and edit documents into the newer version if the client already had seen a previous one.

Can't open RAW files in CS3 or Bridge

I am using PowerMac G4 running OS 10.4.10, one gig RAM, with an Nvidia Geforce 4 MX graphics card. Adobe Updated notified me the new Camera RAW plugin was available so I said yes to install it. The installer hung half way through and I had to force quit it. Since then I can't open RAW (Nikon NEF) files in Bridge or CS3. I get generic raw file thumbnails in Bridge and the error "Could Not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this file type" when trying to open one into ACR from Bridge or Photoshop. I tried d'loading the plug-in and manually putting it in the proper folder, still no good. I have reinstalled the program from the install disk, purged the main and folder cache in Bridge, deleted the PS preferences (command+alt+ shift when opening PS), repaired OS permissions, and the like, all to no avail. Photoshop or Bridge just don't see the plug-in when opening NEF files, though it does show in the "Bout P, which is in the proper place- root/library/application support/adobe/plug-ins/CS3/file formats/camera RAW Plugin
How can I fix it?

Greetings! I am having the same problem.
I'm a graphic designer (not a photographer), working on Mac 10.4.11, CS3 (ps is 10.0.1, bridge is 2.1.1.9) with the latest ACR plug-in (4.3.1) and the latest DNG Converter. Our photo library is on a server, accessed by multiple computers.
We can preview .CR2 in Bridge, open .CR2 in PS.
6However, we cannot preview or open .CRW files. We have tested on three machines, all with the same problem. In the past (before CS3) we were able to open and process these files.
Tried opening .CR2 files in CS2 and couldn't. Couldn't open them with DNG Converter or Graphix Converter.
Have tried all the standards fixes:
1. Correctly updated the most recent Camera Raw plug-in, following Adobes very explicit instructions as to where the plug-in goes (checked it three times).
2. Removed a copy of the Camera Raw plugin from a secondary folder, hoping that might have caused conflict.
3. Reset my preferences in Photoshop and Bridge to default.
4. Purged the cache in Bridge (via TOOLS, not in preferences) and refreshed AND told Bridge to build new thumbnails/caches
5. Closed/reopened Bridge.
6. Repaired permissions
7. Restarted my computer
We are going to try to find a disc with original RAW photos that have never been placed on the server to see if it's a server issue. However I'm thinking that's not the problem.
Any ideas as to why we can no longer open these CRW files?
I have two problems I need to solve:
1. For future photoshoots: does turning OFF sRAW setting help prevent this problem?
2. Is there anyway to convert the .CR2 files without using Photoshop CS3/2 or DNG Converter? We're hoping to try to salvage the photos we have.
I did see Elev Man's comment about the problem being corrupt files...disk failure/problem fixed with Disk Warrior. I'll also check that out.
Thanks!

Get error message when trying to open a file in Adobe Indesign

Hi,
I would appreciate some help here.
Just installed ID, and want to get started. When I try to open any file (pdf. jpg etc) I get the following message:
"Can´t open file. It might be that Adobe ID don´t support the file format, that the plug-in-module that supports the file format are missing, or that the file is open in another program".
I have tried ID on both my PC and Mac - the same error message is shown on both computers. It must be said that I am normaly as PS and AI user, and have not tried ID before. Maybe it is an easy solution to the problem, thus Adobe chat line could not help me.
I appreciate any help you can offer!

Can't open .pmd file in Mac Indesign CS4

I am using Indesign CS4 in Mac OS X 10.6.2. I have done all the latest updates to Indesign.
I was trying to open and old .pmd Page Maker file that was created in a Windows version of Page Maker. I am not sure what version they were saved in. The file was created in July of 2006 if that helps.
Is there a way to open this file. I also have a pdf that I created from this file. I have Acrobat CS4 Is there a way to export the pdf back to an Indesign file. Just another thought regarding this file.

I was trying to open and old .pmd Page Maker file that was created in a Windows version of Page Maker. I am not sure what version they were saved in. The file was created in July of 2006 if that helps.
It's been a long time since I was up to speed on PageMaker. The pmd file extension refers to Pagemaker 5, right? InDesign should be able to import the output of PM 6.5 and PM 7, but I've found that the PM6.5 import is usually pretty decent, while for some reason the PM7 import is flaky. This probably is a result of changes in the way the documents were build by the, ah, "designers," and has comparatively little to do with the abilities of ID to open PM files of various versions. PM5, however, can't be imported by InDesign, I think.
What happens when you try to open them? Does InDesign crash, or does it fail without an error message, or ??? More details, please.

Well, there's always the PDF2ID tool, but since PDF is an uneditable container format, the results of running a PDF through PDF2ID is not reliable. Sometimes you get something very much like the source document, but I've found that most often it is faster to rebuild from scratch. I didn't buy PDF2ID, but that is because my clients' bizarro formatting techniques break on conversion. A very simple document might come back a lot cleaner.

Opening CS4 file in CS3

I haven't been able to open a Premiere Pro CS4 file (.prproj) in Premiere Pro CS3. I get the message "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements." And CS4 will not save as a CS3 file (.prproj). Why, you ask, would I want to bring an edited CS4 file into CS3??? Because the FLVs produced by CS4 are "soft" (blurred) compared to FLV files produced in CS3 and I don't want to have to re-edit the production. Does anyone know if it's possible to get an edited file from CS4 into CS3? Thanks!

Backward compatibility is seldom possible, if ever. Closest that I have come is Encore CS3 Projects do Open in EncoreDVD 2.0, with few issues, but that is the ONLY instance that I have seen.
Now, one could Export from CS4 and then Import the resulting file in CS3 for the FLV Export. Maybe the Lagarith Lossless CODEC would help here?
Another way might be to take the CS4 Project into AE and then take that into CS3. Have not tried this, so there could be a few pit-falls and workarounds.
Sorry, but compatibility is usually one way - up and never down.
Good luck,
Hunt

OPENING CS4 FILES IN CS3

Is there any way to open up CS4 files in CS3? If not, would I be able to just cut and paste from CS4 to CS3? Thanks.

From CS4, export the file in INX format. Then you can open it in CS3 (assuming you have the most recent update of CS3). Of course, you lose anything you've created using CS4 features, so examine it carefully.

Error opening KMZ files Photoshop CS3 Extended for Windows

I just installed PS CS3 Extended and tried to open a Google KMZ file and received the following error: "Could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse the file" I also tried creating a new document and insert a new layer from 3D file and received this error:
"could not complete the new layer from 3d file command because of program error"
My system is an HP Mobile Workstation w/Intel Centrino Dou proc., Nvidia Quadro FX 1600M running in Windows XP Professional
Any suggestions!

I have Google Earth pro ver. 4.3 along with Sketch up Pro ver. 6.4
Youre correct, I can open KMZ files exported from Sketch up which works fine. But it will not open a KMZ file created from Google Earth.
Hey Richard, when you get a chance, please upload a simple cube or object from Sketch up to GE . Then right click the model under the Temporary Places folder in the sidebar. Chose save place as then KMZ. Now see if you can open it from PS. Please let me know. Thanks, Pat

Delete files in Open Recent Files list - CS3

Is it possible to delete single files in the "Open Recent Files" list
or specify how many recently opened files are be shown?
I am using CS3 (5.0.3).
Thanks

No and no, although Adobe themself doesn't seem to have any problems with this -- every single update kills the list (to my chagrin).
Can't imagine any bona fide reason you'd want to. It's not like it's meant as sort of kind of Document organizing feature, as if.

How to open illustrator file (.ai) using Indesign and save it as XML

I know how to open a Illustrator file (.ai) in Indesign.
It would be like :
1 ) Save your Illustrator file as AI. This Native format is most compatible with InDesign.
2 ) Go to -> InDesign, click on your document using your Frame Rectangle tool (the one with the X through it).
3 ) Fill in the desired size (can be adjusted later).
5 ) Go to File menu > Place.
6 ) Find and select the Illustrator file in the window that opens.
7 ) Click the Open button.
Adjust size, & position of your image using the Direct Selection tool (white arrow), and the cropping with the Seclection tool (black arrow.
Now I want to save this file as XML.
After that, I say
1 ) File -> Export
But this file saves as XML only shows he the root element nothing else.
Every time , this shows like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Root></Root>
Nothing is there as contents.
Can anyone let me know, is it possible to store .AI file as XML.
My requirement is simple, i want to store the .ai file as XML.
Some how I am using Indesign to do so . Can any body help.
Thanks,

Copy and paste is again seems same as 'Place the file' , it wouldn't help again.
Copy( from Illustrator) and paste( it in Indesign) and later saving\exporting as XML again create the same the XML file with no data . Just a XML structure,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<Root />
RRegarding using the FXG and SVG file .. saving these formats to XML does not shows the Co-ordinates in XML formats.
I do I would like to have the coordinates (x,y) so that later on , if required I can change the coordinates and display the Image or Text in the file. As this is a requirement for business card.

Cannot open DNG files in CS3

I transferred files from my camera a Panasonic G3 to Lightroom 4 converting them to DNGs and then made a quick selection of those I wanted to process further in CS3. When I try to open any DNG in CS3 it tells me it cannot because " it is not the right kind of document" I have no trouble opening JPGs in the same collection. How can I get the DNGs to open?

Check your metadata stuff. You are probably retaining GPS data or otehr stuff that back then didn't exist. also verify, that your DNGs use the right DNG version.
