Save As... Indesign (2014) seems to break files.

A typical workflow for our Creatives is:
Once original is set up. a few days later someone wants a change to it.
They typically open the file, chose Save As... Create a V2 or V3 and save it.
And make the changes to the new version.
If the file was originally created in Indesign CC and now the user is on Indesign CC (2014) When doing the Save As... and creating a new version. that goes ok.
The issue is, now the newly created version takes up to 20 minutes to actually open in Indesign CC (2014), and just crashes. completely locks up.
It's been tried with multiple files, both directly off the server storage, and the local machine, so it's not the server...
I've tried multiple machines and it still happens, so it's not the computer..
But, it does not happen with ALL InDesign files, some work great, and no problems.
I'm stuck..
Thanks.

I would not do it except an error comes up, because many unwanted changes in the file appear with IDML export.
But what is the content in your file?
Did you embed graphics?
What kind or type of graphics did you use?
What is the size of the file?
Are all used fonts ok?

InDesign 2014 seems not to be recognized by Windows 7 anyone have this problem?

All my InDesign files show the unrecognized file icon. I can open the file if I drag and drop but not if I double click the icon. I tried open with and selected browse and InDesign but it did nothing as did properties for the file association. Anyone see the same problem or have any ideas about how to fix it?

Reinstall...
Some folks will tell you that you can fix this in the registry or through Windows file associations, but the truth here is that there's a problem with the icon handler .dll file that is supposed to show the correct icon for each version, and that won't get fixed unless you reinstall.

InDesign 2014 files don't save in the same location as the original file

The behavior in InDesign CC was to automatically save the file in the same location. I understand this is a new version, and saving my InDesign 2014 files should open a save dialogue. But I don't understand why InDesign seems unaware of the file's location. In this new version I have to navigate to the files location to overwrite, and that is taking extra time that the previous version did not require. Is there a way to restore the previous behavior. I have looked in Preferences, but I can't find a way to revert to the old behavior. Any advice would be appreciated. -Thanks.

As Peter noted, it has ALWAYS been this way. It’s a one time thing.

.indd file does not open in Adobe InDesign 2014?

Why are files created in Adobe InDesign CC not compatible with Adobe InDesign 2014 and vice versa. This is supper annoying - we pay a monthly fee and are completely legit. So why are the 2 not compatible????

You cannot open CC2014 INDD files in CC. That has always been the case and you'd need to go through IDML for that. But CC2014 should open CC files with no problems.
Now, you'd like to share some real details we may be able to help, but saying it doesn't recognize those file is pretty much meaningless. What happens?
And if you uninstalled CC after installing CC2014 I would encourage you to reinstall CC2014. Uninstalling earlier versions has a tendency to break file associations.

Save dialog box in vista types over file name in InDesign

Ever since I have upgraded to vista at work I have been having this issue.
When I save from InDesign (and only InDesign), I open the folder I need to save my file in. I begin to type the name of the company folder that this file needs to be saved in (there are hundreds). I am only able to type the first letter of the company before it begins typing over my file name. This has turned out to be a major annoyance for me and my coworkers because we may have 40 or 50 folders that start with "s" so we can only type in "s" and then have to stop and scroll through and read each folder instead of typing in the name of the folder we need and hitting enter. Has anyone else had this issue and know how to correct it, or is it something we have to live with?
Thanks for your time and help.

PITA, isn't it? File a bug report here:

Indesign 2014 CC, epub3-file Ipad good, but in Adobe Digital Editions bad

From Indesign I generated an epub3-file with the latest release CC 2014. The resulting ebook is splendid on an iPad . However, to my surprise the performance in Adobe Digital Editions is very poor. The text appears far to big on the screen and can not be reduced in ADE. Is this a problem of ADE or of Indesign? Those anyone knows a solution to tackle this?

In the meantime try Readium for Chrome…
Or a Mac with OSX 9 and the iBooks app with that.

There is an Error when I save the Indesign file!

There is an Error when I save the Indesign CC file!
Cannot save it after opening for awhile!
It makes me lost all my work!
[expletive deleted] Indesign!

Yeah, sure, swearing will help you.
Instead rather give important information, unless you just came here to complain and not wanting to ask for help.
1. What error?
2. Where is the file saved - local HDD or network?
3. Will "Save as..." work?
4. When closing ID and opening again, it should restore the files (data loss due to crash prevention) - will you then be able to save?

How to save a indesign file so can be edited with word

Just wanting to know if there is a way that I can save a indesign file or illustrator file that most aspects can be edited with word, mainly just the type edited with word? I have CS 5.5

emma is kool wrote:

Just to throw out the obvious (which isn't obvious to everyone, so I thought I'd mention it), but this isn't a "round-trip to Word to edit an InDesign file" thing. It's a "turn an InDesign file into a Word file" thing. Once it's a Word file, any edits you make won't reflect in the InDesign file. Although that would be handy, the way to edit text in a more word-processor-friendly environment without having to edit the actual InDesign file is to use InCopy.

.indd file does not open using InDesign 2014

Hello All,
I am getting the following message when attempting to open an .indd file :-
" Cannot open the file "abc.indd". 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 am using InDesign 2014 trial version. I have also used InDesign CC (ver 9.22) to open the file but got the same message.
How can I resolve this issue ?
Thanks

Usually this message is completely accurate -- either there's a lock file in the folder left over from a previous session that was not properly deleted (.idlk), or the file isn't actually a .indd (does it have an extension?), .indt, .inx or .idml file. We see this a lot when people rename PDF files thinking all they have to do is change the extension.
If you open the file in a plain text editor, the first few lines should tell you if it's an InDesign file...

InDesign CC can't open file - error: saved in newer version (CS7.0)

My coworker and I set up CC accounts last month (upgraded from CS5) but now when I'm trying to open a file she edited recently I get this error: "Cannot open "file name.indd" because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign (CS7.0). You must use that version or later to open the file. To then enable it to be opened in this version, choose Save As InDesign CS4 or later, or export to IDML."
Both are PCs. We are using the same software it seems so I'm confused as to the CS 7 version she is saving in and doesn't allow me to open the file.
Any suggestions?

Here we see what happens because Adobe went for CC instead of CS7: people that have a Creative Cloud account get confused: 'a creative cloud must be version CC' - while it still can be CS6. Not the first time I've heard this confusion the last fee weeks...
Imagine later when hew versions come out and Adobe sticks to its plan to call all versions CC instead of CC1, CC2 etc.
Pwef...
