Restoring a "mini save" to OPEN InDesign cs5 file through InDesign Recivery

using time machine, can I go back to a previously OPEN (not saved) indesign cs5 file to get to the "mini save" of the file? the file was open as time machine was running (overnight)
A tech person didn't save the changes I made to the indesignfile before restarting my computer, so right now on the hard drive there is no recovery data I can use.
Looking in the time machine back-ups, It looks like there is no "cache" in the "library" in any of the time machine saves. (so there is no "InDesign Recovery" file, right?) why not? isn't time machine making an exact copy of my hard drive?

Hi hasvi,
Need Template(.indt), textframes etc for the following script:
var myFolderInd = Folder.selectDialog();
var myFile = myFolderInd.getFiles("*indt");
app.open(myFile)
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myDocName = myDoc.name;
var mySaveFile = app.activeDocument.save(myFolderInd.fsName + "/" + myDocName.split(".indt").join(".indd"));
var myFolderDoc = Folder.selectDialog();
var myFile1 = myFolderDoc.getFiles("*doc");
mySaveFile.pages[0].textFrames[0].place(File(myFile1))
//~ mySaveFile.place(File(myFile1))
app.activeDocument.textPreferences.smartTextReflow = true;
var myPDFFile = new File(mySaveFile.filePath + "/" + mySaveFile.name.split(".indd").join(".pdf"))
myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File("~/Desktop/abc.pdf"));
alert("Process Completed")
Regards

    I do have this problem with placing jpegs in InDesign. Very specifically, I can’t place or relink to a jpeg that was made by InDesign (export page > jpg), although I can drag and drop it into the file, and it shows up correctly. I can place or relink to a jpeg made by Photoshop.

  • Acrobat and InDesign CS5 file issue

    Hi everyone...
    My issue is that Acrobat won't or can't convert InDesign CS5 files. It opens Illustrator and Photoshop and converts them to pdf's but not InDesign.
    I've tried everything. I've even tried Adobe tech help. No luck. It was a relatively easy procedure in CS4, not to mention a time saver.
    Is there someone that knows how to resolve this? Please help as I'm desperate to avoid having to convert all my InDesign files one at a time.

    Hi Matthew-
    Our workflow often involves combining multiple IND files into a pdf.  With CS4, we merely opened acrobat, clicked "Merge Files into a Single PDF" and dropped in the indesign files we wished to combine. Presto- we had one PDF with all IND files put together without having to go through indesign.
    In response to your post, I only have CS5 installed, and it seems as though Acrobat doesn't recognize ID CS5 as a program at all.   I believe I am current on all InDesign and Acrobat 9 updates to date - I'm running InDesign7.0.2 and Acrobat 9.3.4.
    When trying to open IND files through Acrobat, Acrobat launches and gives an error message that states: "Please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer."
    Acrobat can't call InDesign CS5 to open at all.  Could this be because Acrobat was not updated along with the CS5 suite and therefore doesn't recognize the new CS5 Indesign files?
    I read another blog that mentioned it could be a registry problem- they ran CCleaner and ran the registry fix.  Then uninstalled and reinstalled both Acrobat and Indesign.  What are your thoughts on this method?  It's hard for me to try this on my own, as it requires an administrative login- our IT department has us locked out.  I would like another opinion before I ask them to help.
    Do you forsee a fix from Adobe in the future?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Corrupted InDesign CS5 files

    Hi, I have a few corrupted indesign CS5 files - had to recover them from my laptop. However, now when I try to open them I get "corrupted file" "error 5".  Does anyone know how I can open these.
    I have tried opening as a copy etc, but to no avail. Thanks in advance.

    Error Code 5 is basically a flatline.
    You could try a service like Markzware, see if they recover your file by converting it to quark and back again (I know seems like a very wrong work flow).
    But I've heard of this working in the past. I think they'll do the conversion for you and if it works you will need to pay the going rate for the files back (not 100% sure on how they work but that's my understanding)

  • InDesign CS5 files openen in CC?

  • Open Flash CS5 file in CS4

    Hey all,
    I think I know the answer to this, but ... Is there any way I can open a CS5 file in CS4? A designer I'm working with created some files using her CS5. She's on vacation for 2 weeks (so I can't have her edit or resend the files as CS4) and I just got an email that the client needs a couple tweeks and all I have is CS4. Is there any way (or any program) that can backwards convert a CS5 file?
    Thx.

    If you had access to CS5 you could save as CS5 or save as CS4 (but not CS3 or below).  But opening a CS5 Flash file in Flash CS4 produces a "unexpected file type" error.

  • InDesign CS5 file is crashing during Package - Carbonite the reason?

    I recently downloaded Carbonite to try it. Now I can't seem to package my InDesign CS5 files. I am on a PC. I get the Document Font and Link Files, but my actual .indd file never completes the Package process.  I  need to use the Windows Task Manager to close InDesign.  Then when I re-open it I get the error message that it is trying to recover my file. Then InDesign hoses up again.  I turned off Carbonite, but I can't get InDesign to stop looking or trying to recover the file.  Any suggestions?  I have a customer waiting....... (PS -  I am scrubbing Carbonite)

    I've been running Carbonite for 6 months with no problems.
    I think you need to look elsewhere for the problem.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro - Batch Create Multiple Files from InDesign CS5 files

    When attempting to batch create PDFs from Indesign CS5 files using Acrobat Pro 9's File>Create PDF>Batch Create Multiple Files ... option the operation fails with the error 'Could not find the application that created this file: [path to file] Please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer.' as shown in the screenshot below:
    Acrobat 9 Professional was bundled with Creative Suite 5 Design Standard so shouldn't this work? My machine is running OS X 10.6.7, Acrobat Pro 9.44 and InDesign CS5 7.04.
    Any help to solve this issue would be most gratefully received - this feature had previously saved me a lot of time on my old machine with 10.5.8, Acrobat Pro 9 and CS4.

    The first file is the problem file.  If you create this file separately, Acrobat will convert it perfectly.  But "Batch create multiple files" and the graphics are deconstructed on page 8

  • 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.

  • Opening Indesign CS3 files in Indesign 2.0

    Can any one assist in opening Indesign CS3 files in Indesign 2.0 please.
    Many Thanks.

    That is not possible. InDesign 2.0 is four versions ago. You can use InDesign Interchange format to get back to CS2 (and if you have CS2, you can use it again to get back to CS, but that's as far as it goes).

  • 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.

  • Saving InDesign CS4 files for InDesign CS2

    I'm about to upgrade from CS3 to CS4 but have a client who needs to open documents I create InDesign CS2. I've been saving files for this clients in CS3's interchange (.inx) format, which has worked fine. But CS4 .inx files will only open in CS3. One work around I found was on TUAW (http://www.tuaw.com/2009/05/08/tuaw-tip-saving-indesign-cs4-files-for-indesign-cs2/), which suggests opening the .inx file in a text editor and changing the version number. The resulting file should then open in CS4. I was wondering if anyone has tried this (with or without success) or has any advice on saving CS4 docs for CS2? Thanks very much!

    I'll go with option 3 since I no longer have CS2 on my machine and my
    client won't be upgrading anytime soon. Thanks for the help and great
    advice.
    I'd never use this workflow if I couldn't test it on CS2 before sending it off to the client. Don't know what to tell you here... good luck?
    Me, harsh? Is that my rep?
    Oh, come on. I can say it another way:
    "Peter's going to be way too nice about this... DON'T DO IT."
