Q2ID to open Quark 7 into Indesign CS2

I currently have Q2ID for InDesign CS2 and when trying to open a Quark 7 file, ID tells me I don't have the proper plug-in. But when I try and open an older Quark file, it opens fine. Am I just stuck with the only option to purchase Quark 7.0, or is there another plug-in that will work in this case?

I had a recent sort of similar problem where a QX7 wouldn't open up even with the latest upgrade for the Q2ID (CS2) plug in
Adding .qxd to the end of the file and it opened up fine (panic over)

Open .xml documents into InDesign?

Is there a way to open .xml documents into InDesign, or any Adobe program?
The goal is to access text from a web site feed and place it in an Indesign doc, to create a print product.

You can't open XML but you can certainly utilize it.
Here's a good book you might want to look into: http://amzn.to/i3iWZ5

Can't open Pagemaker files in InDesign Cs2

In the past i could usually open any Pagemaker 6 or 6.5 file in InDesign CS2. However this doesn't work anymore. I get a message o the screen telling me the file is corrupt and can't be opened. ( i can't really post the original message i get as it is in german).
This happens for any Pagemaker 6 or 6.5 file i have in my repository (and there are still many left so i had tried several ones from different dates and PM Versions)
As a first aid I tried to reinstall InDesign CS2 from the original discs. I uninstalledit before and did a restart of the Machine before i reinstalled it.
I use a Windows XP baesed system.
Does anyone have any idea on what i could try to get that back to work?

Suddenly getting "Missing Plug-Ins" errors when opening .indd files in InDesign CS2

I have a PC running Windows 7 and InDesign CS2. The laptop's installation of Windows was corrupted and I had to re-install the OS. I backed up all files, reinstalled the OS, and then reinstalled applications. One of those applications was InDesign CS2. However, after the installation of CS2 on the fresh copy of Windows, I noticed that I have trouble opening most, but not all, of the InDesign files on my hard drive.
When I try to open a .indd file I see an error message pop up that says "Missing Plug-ins. LILO.APLN, DYNAMICDOCUMENTS.RPLN, CONDITIONALTEXT.RPLN" and three more. Under that list of missing plugins is the warning "This document uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?" If I click "okay" I then am met with another dialog box that says "Cannot open file. TEXT.RPLN, LAYER.RPLN" and on and on for about 60 more items.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING! I've searched around concerning this issue and it appears the consensus is that the file was opened by a newer version of InDesign. That possibility is, in fact, an impossibility. Never have I used a newer version of InDesign. The files that I am working on were backed up, stored on local storage and not touched once before reinstalling the OS and reinstalling InDesign CS2.
I also noticed that not all InDesign file formats were associated with InDesign in "Windows Programs and Defaults." I changed those to look to InDesign. I've also uninstalled InDesign CS2 and re-installed.
Not all InDesign CS2 files are exhibiting this behavior. So far, it appears more than half are, but some can be opened with no problems. There seems to be no correlation between which ones are able to be opened and which ones can't be opened.
What could have happened to these files and is there any possibility of opened them again? Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Conditional Text was a new feature in CS4. I'm thinking, can you explain how your old CS2 documents became aware of it?
Not exactly sure myself. Abiogenesis?
[Edit]
Almost forgot. I wrote a script to unequivocally determine the InDesign version a document was last saved as:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4071273
I'll give that a try today. Even an affirmative judgement that the files are newer than CS2 would not impress me however. The fact remains, the files were copied off one hard drive over to another, the plug was pulled on the hard drive, the PC was re-imaged, CS2 was reinstalled, the files were copied back over... and whammo.

Error Message Opening PageMaker file in InDesign CS2

I'm using Windows Vista with Adobe CS2, the educational version.
When I try to open any previous Pagemaker files 6.5 and earlier, I get an error message that says the Pagemaker file is seriously damaged and cannot be opened. It happens with all PageMaker files I try to open.
This is a new HP computer and I used to have PageMaker 6.5 and InDesign CS 1.5 working fine on the old computer. Do I have to have PageMaker installed on this computer? I've tried clicking on the file to open it and from Indesign with file open. Any ideas?!

Since installing XP SP3 in addition to being unable to open Pagemaker 7 files in Indesign CS I now find I cannot open Indesign again if I close it. I have to reboot XP for a fresh start.
Also Illustrator CS opens only to present a box "Could not complete operation" and then closes. There are no problems then in opening it a second time, except it takes the usual significant time to start.
Are these symptoms of the same problem with SP3 and the Adobe software. It is disappointing to see people say neither Adobe or Redmond are at all interested.

Problems importing Illustrator CS2 files into InDesign CS2

Using a MacIntosh and Creative Suite Premium CS2 system 10.3.9
I have created a restaurant menu in Illustrator and want to import it into Indesign with the ability to make changes to text and other formating. As it is, it is importing a pdf file which I can do nothing with, If I copy and paste the Illustrator file, I get non-formatted text and no graphics.
What is the solution or is this possible to do? I thought these two were supposed to work together. Hmmmm

Diane How is a waste of time to learn?
Had you originally set up you menu in ID you could edit it in ID, by placing individual pages made in Illustrator you now have to edit them in Illustrator. as soon as the file is saved it will be updated in ID.
instead of thinking that this forum is a waste of time you would be better served learning how to use the tools you have to their best advantage instead of criticizing a very knowledgeable person who did a nice job of explaining the relationship of the tools you use.

Importing single Excel columns into InDesign CS2 Tables?

Hi, I have an Indesign CS2 doc with existing tables. I need to import data from Excel...but I just want to import certain columns. It doesn't seem to cut and paste, as it would into a tabbed format in Indesign. Is there a way to do this? I don't want to import the whole table from Excel and go through all the formatting again.
OS X Tiger Mac G5
THANKS SO MUCH!!!

Jenny,
InDesign CS3 supports what you want. In CS2, you can use
my PopTab shareware script. The name stands for "Populate Table From the Clipboard."

If I made a brochure with Adobe InDesign CS3, can I still open it with Adobe InDesign CS2?

Can it open it perfectly?

There is persistent confusion over the Creative Suite version numbers.
Indesign CS2 (version 4.0) is three versions newer than Indesign 1.0
(which was not part of any Creative Suite). You're not going to be able
to do anything with Indesign 1.0 (or 1.5) except open Indesign 1.0 (or
1.5) files.
Indesign 1.0 came out in 1999, and the Indesign 1.5 upgrade came out in
2001. Indesign CS2 came out in 2005. Your files are less than three
years old, but you want to be able to open them with 10-year-old software.
The only way you're going to be able to open ID CS2 files is if you get
your hands on ID CS2 (version 4), CS3 (version 5), or CS4 (version 6).

Opening Quark files in InDesign

Hello
I've recently made the move from Quark to InDesign as I've started a new job and the designer I have replaced used InDesign for the vast majority of work. However, there is a 200 page price list which is issued every year and which has always been done in Quark.
Is there any software I can get hold of which will enable me to open the price list in InDesign? I have found something called Q2ID by Markzware - does anyone have any experience of using this, or can anyone recommend an alternative?
Thanks!

Q2ID is the only alternative.
If the file is in Quark 4 or earlier then it can be opened directly in Indesign. If you can save the Quark version back that far then I suggest doing so.

Opening a PDF into InDesign.

Hello, I'm new to InDesign and need help importing an existing PDF to modify. I tried following the instructions here: http://bim.wikispaces.com/file/view/How+to+Import+and+Edit+PDFs+in+Adobe+InDesign.pdf , but do not have the option of opening from "Place" -- The Place option in in gray still.
Help?

File > Place... is not available?
And you do understand that you cannot change the content of the PDF inside InDesign, right? You can scale or crop, but nothing else with a placed PDF.

Import Open Office .odt into InDesign CS3

Hello–
I am working on the layout for a small book and was given several Open Office .odt files containing text and images. Is there any way I can import / open these files in an InDesign document so that the text flows across the pages and is editable?
I was hoping some type of simple plugin existed or I could save them as .pdf and import but neither of those are possible.
Any help or suggestions that anyone could offer would be fantastic – thank you!

FWIW, I prefer NeoOffice to the actual OO Mac app (if you're on a Mac).

But yes, at that point save it as RTF or as Microsoft Word 95/2000/XP DOC format and you should be good to go.

Why has the opening of a Pagemaker file into InDesign CC been removed?

We receive many publications that have been produced by Pagemaker. We open and convert to InDesign for our publishing input. InDesign CC has removed this feature which now means we will have to always keep InDesign 6 installed on our system.

Don't expect an official Adobe "answer" to this question. This is my opinion.
Anyone who has observed the graphic arts field the last decade or so has seen this coming. According to Wikipedia, "The last major release of PageMaker was 7.0 in 2001, after which the product was seen as "languishing on life support". Adobe ceased all development of PageMaker in 2004 and "strongly encouraged" users to migrate to InDesign, initially via special "InDesign PageMaker Edition" and "PageMaker Plug-in" versions that added PageMaker's data merge, bullet and numbering features to InDesign, and provided PageMaker-oriented help topics, complimentary Myriad Pro fonts and templates. From 2005 these features were bundled into InDesign CS2, which was offered at half-price to existing PageMaker customers."
With the arrival of InDesign CC, the entire application has to be re-written for 64 bit and, on the Mac, using a different set of system calls. The number of people who still use Pagemaker are minuscule, and it wasn't worth it to port the feature over. Since InDesign CS6 still supports importing Pagemaker files there is a route for the tiny number of people who need to feature.
I'm pretty sure that this will not change in the future so you should get used to it.

Quark 7 into ID CS3?

I'm using CS3, and a client sent me files in Quark Xpress. And I have to edit some of the layout. Could anybody please tell me how I can import the layouts into ID?
Thank you!

Jason,
I can tell you how to open Quark files in InDesign, but before I do, let me ask some questions.
Your client is working in XP. They want you to do some work on those files. Do they realize you're going to convert their work from XP to ID?
Do they understand that the text will most likely reflow?
Do they understand that you won't know if the text has reflowed?
Do you understand that if you do recognize that the text has reflowed, that if will be very difficult to make the text in ID match the text in XP?
Could this be a problem for your client?
Could this be a problem for you?
Then, if you do open the XP file in ID, what will you send the client? The ID file? A PDF? Or will you need to convert the file back to XP?
The first two are not as problematic as the last idea? If you have to convert the files back to XP, you are guaranteed for even more text reflow. And depending on what you have done to the file, even more things could be changed.
Now, if you still want to convert the XP file, use the Markzware product Q2ID. It's about $250, but worth it.

Bizarre image load problem in InDesign CS2

Hi, I am having a problem with bringing in some images into InDesign CS2. I have a document file that has many images in place, and I just received some new images that are screenshots from video. They are saved as rgb jpgs. They are 2700x1963 pixels and 300dpi (so someone obviously did some conversion from screen res.)
When I try to bring them into an image box in InDesign, I do command D, then select the image. It acts like its loading it but then nothing is in the box. I thought perhaps the image was just hidden outside of the edge of the box but when I go to "fitting" under the "OBJECT" menu, all the options are greyed out as if there is no image there. It also shows no image linked in the links panel.
I tried opening in photoshop and resaving, and also tried resaving as another name. I tried changing it to cmyk and adjusting the levels and resaving as tif. I tried making a new photoshop file and copy-and=pasting the image into it and saving. Still, no image will load in the image box.
I feel like the images must have corrupted since they were sent to me as email attachments, but its so odd that they open in photoshop just fine. Any ideas?

nevermind, people.
my computer was having memory overload. on a whim I restarted the computer.
BAM...no issue.
You know what they always say, "When all else fails, restart your computer!"

Importing .mov files to InDesign CS2

I am trying to import a H.268 or Mpeg .mov files into InDesign CS2 and every time I select the file, I get the following message pop up:
"Error: Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation"
When I check the 'Interactive Options' the options such as 'Movie Option' or 'Sound Option' are graded out, so that I cannot select them.
When I google the Error message, people posted articles saying that you had to set the PDF options, but I cannot find this. I have look at the general preferences section, but there is nothing for movies. I also looked at the 'Configure Plugins' section, and 'Media.Framework' plugin is locked, but I am not sure what to do.
Please help as I need to get this finished in the next 24 hours and cannot make this work!

Please see above for what I have selected from the media panel.
In terms of the 'PDF Interactive export dialog' I am not sure what you mean, could you please talk me through this?
This is the instructions that I have been following http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/dynamic-pdf-documents.html#create_interactive_docume nts_for_pdf
However, where it says
"Buttons And Media
Select Include All to allow movies, sounds, and buttons to be interactive in the exported PDF file. Select Appearance Only to include the normal state of buttons and the video posters as static elements."
I cannot seem to find this menu, the only one I can find is Buttons & Forms and when I open this all of the options are graded out. Please see the screen grab below...
