Saved over a very important indesign file!!

saved over a very important indesign file that has synced to the creative cloud is there any way i can revert back to a previous version on my cloud?

You should be able to use the Restore functionality to revert back.
In a web browser go to the Files page at https://creative.adobe.com/files.
Find the file and go to it's page by clicking on it.
In the Activity list to the right of the image you should see earlier versions listed.
Select the version you want and click the Restore link.
Confirm the restore by clicking the blue Restore button in the dialog that pops up.

  • Accidentally saved over an important InDesign file

    I've accidentally saved over a really important file can I recovery it or do I have to redesign it? URGH!!!!! Why is command z so close to command s. I've been doing this for too long to make this mnistake.

    I don't know. What I do know is that when I'm working on very important projects like this I often put them in a Dropbox folder. They get backed up and I get access to all the past versions by going to the dropbox website.That feature has saved my neck on more than one ocassion.
    If you don't already have Dropbox and you use this link, you'll get an extra 250 megabytes above the standard 2 gigs for free: http://db.tt/ML9u8WG

  • Is/Will FC be able to import Indesign files?

    About to download the trial and noticed that Indesign wasnt mentioned. Can you import indeisgn files (other than making a pdf), if not are the plans to add that to the final version?

    Flash Catalyst 1.0 doesn't directly import InDesign files, but you can make this work using some other Adobe tools.
    1. In InDesign export your file as PDF
    2. Open the PDF file in Illustrator and save as AI
    3. Import the AI file into Catalyst
    Illustrator can also save to "fxg" which Catalyst can handle natively. I would expect other Adobe tools to handle the fxg format over time which will make it easier to bring any artwork into Catalyst.

  • I deleted a very important pages file from my iPad and I need it back

    I deleted a very important pages file from my iPad and I need it back pronto! I just updated my iPad without a computer and it had the file there. I need to know how to get back the file very quickly.
    thx in advance

    Thne unfortunately, your document is gone. You can restore lost or deleted documents from backups if you have backups - and as long as the backup contains the document - but if you did not copy the file to your computer - or backup the iPad, the document is gone.
    You really should start backup up your iPad. You can sign up for a free 5GB iCloud account right on the iPad and then you can use iCloud for backing up. You can do it right on the iPad.

  • Import InDesign files into RoboHelp HTML

    Hello,
    My company is moving toward online help. We currently use InDesign to author our manuals and then export them to pdf for publication. I've been on the phone with Adobe trying to see if there's a way to easily import InDesign into RoboHelp. We're on an older version of RoboHelp, so I'm told this is possible, but I can't get any help until we buy RoboHelp9. I know that we can import our pdfs into RoboHelp--I'm just wondering if there's a way to import InDesign files directly into RoboHelp. Has anyone tried to do this? Anyone have any suggestions? It seems these two programs should play nice together, doesn't it?
    Louley

    Hi there
    To my knowledge it is not possible to accomplish. I've been using RoboHelp since 1992 and I've never seen it done.
    The only way I can fathom it working would be if InDesign could save as an HTML page. Then import the HTML. Or possibly produce a PDF from InDesign, then import that. But even importing the PDF may not give you the results you want.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Changed Computer. Old HDD is now slave. FF is not finding old settings and saved passwords. Very Important Saved Passwords.

    Hi,
    I have changed my Computer. Essentially, the M/B, CPU, RAM, HDD, etc. I still have my old HDD and Mozilla was installed there. I have a lot of saved passwords on that Firefox. I have started Firefox from there itself. Yet, FF doesn't find those passwords and other things. These are very important as they are passwords for Income Tax, Service Tax, VAT websites of various clients. I am a tax consultant. So, If I cant recover those, I'm dead. Please help.

    For the passwords you need key3.db and signons.sqlite

  • Problem involving saving over indesign file and pdf

    Kind of a strange one this one....
    I'm currently working on a magazine and have several InDesign files in one folder that i'm working on and a seperate folder where I have saved exported pdf versions of these files. The files are the same names in ach folder eg '1 - 40'  '2 - 39' and so on
    I accidentally saved over one of my InDesign files so I understand I will not be able to recover it as I wasnt using any backup utility.
    However before I saved over the file I had created a pdf version of it and saved it in my pdf folder.  So i'm thinking not all is lost as I can use the pdf file to send to the printers.
    Now here's the strange bit - I am using PC and when I open explorer I can see the folder icon where all my pdf files are saved and can actually see the 'lost/saved over' pdf version as one of the mini thumbnails for that folder - but when I click on the folder to view the files inside it isnt there - instead it shows a thumbnail of the file i saved over it with...!?!
    I'm thinking is there somekind of automatic updating PDF export setting that I may have selected or is it possible that folder icon is using a snapshot of what was inside at a certain point??
    Either way I could really do with recovering this PDF - if anyone has any suggestions i'm more than happy to hear them.
    Thanks
    Mark

    i thought this would help a little
    This is the folder icon - in which all my pdf's are.  The top left thumbnail is the 'missing/saved over' pdf.  So you'd think it would be in there?
    Below is a view of the contents of that folder - (for those of you with good eyesight) you can see that the top left thumbnail from the above picture is nowhere to be seen in this folder!!

  • I saved my file as a regular Indesign file, and when I went to open it on a different computer it had a lock on it and will not let me open it. Can someone please explain why this is happening and how to unlock it? It's for a very important and urgent pro

    Please help if you can!

    Assuming the file is stored on a network server, and the "other computer" is on that network as well; with InDesign not running on either, navigate to the folder where the InDesign file is stored and find the lock file (it will have the extension .idlk). Delete it.

  • How to import a PSD file into Indesign WITH layers so it can be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

    How to import a Photoshop file into Indesign CS6 so that it's layers show in InDesign and it can then be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

    MyTienN wrote:
    Someone had mentioned the possibility of saving each individual layer in Photoshop as a png file and importing into Indesign and adjusting it in there
    What do you mean by "adjust"? Editing of Photoshop images should be done in Photoshop.
    Sure, it's possible to save individual layers from an image in Photoshop as inidvidual files in a variety of formats, but what's the point? You could just as easily import the layered file, then copy/paste it into a new layer for each layer in the image and use layer visibility to control which ones show. I don't think that will do you a lot of good, though, if you use adjustment layers or opacity controls on the layer in Photoshop.

  • How do I import multiple Ai files into one Indesign File - whilst still keeping the Ai Files editable and up dateable for the one Indesign File?

    Hi All,
    Im relatively new to Ai and Indesign, and have been doing Uni work over Christmas, and have a rather urgent question thats stressing me out.
    I originally had many art boards in my ai file, but due to the number, I split these into single files to help my computer run better.
    Now I want to organise them into one document to save. From searching online Indesign can import these and save as one file, yet automatically update if the original ai file is updated. I would like to do this but just don't know how to do this correctly?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Im using CC Ai and indesign.
    Thanks in advance
    Sam

    Yes, effectively I would like to catalogue the files into one collection so i can save as one PDF and Print as one.:)
    I know I could save each AI as a pdf them then merge the pdf's together in acrobat, but I have nearly 100 files so would feel more comfortable seeing them all together before print / saving.
    My concern is that if I insert them in Ai, will the file resolution reduce? and will the ai still be editable and would it update the indesign file?
    Thanks for the quick reply

  • Batch importing Word files into separate InDesign files

    Hi,
    I have what I though would be a fairly common question, but I can't seem to find any information about it in this forum or on the web.
    I have a folder of Word files (over 100, which is why I don't want to do this manually) and one InDesign CS4 file that I'd like to use as a template (basically it's just a couple of pages with some threaded text boxes and a few images). I would like to write a script that will go through the Word files, one by one, and pull each into the text box in the InDesign file before saving it as a new copy (ideally with the same name as the Word file). So, if I have 100 Word files and one InDesign file in a folder, I'd like to be able to run a script and end up with 100 new InDesign files.
    I think I can deal with importing and placing the text, and saving the file again. It's mostly the question of using javascript to go through a folder to find all of the filenames so that I can pass the name to the import file command that is confusing me.
    Oh, I'm on a Mac with OS 10.6 and using InDesign CS4.
    Thanks!

    Before reinstalling (which is most often unneeded) it would be useful to test the way the app behave when it is used in an other User Account.
    If it behave flawlessly, no need to reinstall it.
    If it doesn't, it *_may be useful_* to reinstall it but it's not sure.
    Nothing prove that the problem is really linked to the installed application's files.
    It may be linked to a file built on the fly like preferences or fonts cache…

  • Importing Over Network: Where Do The Files/Images Go?

    I am a relative Mac newcomer after years of Windows/PCs... have used Adobe Photoshop and PS Elements to edit and organize images and now I'm trying Aperture (thank heavens for a trial version). I'm gonna have a bunch of questions...
    Here's the first one: why do the files I've imported into a project/folder in Aperture vanish the next time I open the program? Could it be because the images are on a different computer on my home network?
    I am running Aperture on a MiniMac that is connected to my network (all wired, in this instance). My images are all stored on the internal HDD on a Dell XPS. Twice now, I have connected to the network, and imported a slew of image files into the project folder I'm building in Aperture. Everything imports fine and I can manipulate the images to my hearts content in Aperture (if slowly... don't recommend a Mini for Aperture but that's a different story altogether...)
    The next time I have opened Aperture, it looks like it's the first time, like I haven't created any projects or imported any files. Nothing is there.
    Have I forgotten to save something? I go to the "file" menu but "save" is not one of the options, I presume that import saving is automatic, ala iPhoto... but... where then is my work from the previous session?
    At the risk of asking too many questions in a single post:
    I would also like to know if there is a way to get Aperture to display RAW files instead of the companion JPEG files when I combine the pair into stacks. I generally shoot RAW with a JPEG (small, basic quality) for reference sake. I only want to see the RAW files when I'm in Aperture, but sometimes Aperture seems to want to display the JPEGs. Is there a preference or something I can set to determine that?
    OK, there's enough questions for now... Thanks,
    --PS

    Driver 69
    That's driver FORTY-9. Hmmm???
    Are you sure you are opening the library you imported into?
    Are you kidding? I'm not sure of ANYTHING <g>
    Aperture will default to the aperture library in the 'Pictures' folder if it can't find the library set under the preferences menu
    Hmmm again. The library I set in Preferences is a folder I created on a high-speed external drive that is hard-wired into the MacMini via Firewire 800. I double clicked on the Aperture library in that folder, and it came back to a fresh folder of images I imported last night. Still no sign of the stuff I imported on Monday.
    But at least I'm getting a clue where to look for stuff...
    As a test, double click on the Aperture Library' in your own home Pictures folder - Import a few pictures - Close Aperture and open it again
    I think I have done the first two steps there -- opened Aperture last night, imported a folder (still on the network, though). I'll have to see what I wind up with when I close / re open it... later today.
    If your new pictures are there - then you are OK
    And if not? I hope they are, I like the way one of them turned out after RAW-tuning it in Aperture. Looks better than the same picture I manipulated in PShop.
    Now what you may need to do is see if you can find the library you imported all the other pictures into.
    Sounds like I have at least a clue where to start looking.
    Always try to keep you pictures locally on the fastest drives you have
    Accessing images over a network is not advised
    Well, there's a big fore-head slap and "d'oh". Maybe that explains why Aperture seemed to be running so slowly? Because the pictures I'm messing with are on another computer? Slap my forehead again.
    Think it'll be faster if I copy them to that 7200rpm external HDD that's firewired to the Mini? I think I'll try that, too.
    Hope this helps
    Brian
    Thanks for the suggestions, Brian, very helpful.

    I was writing a very important document; I saved it and I closed pages, now when I try to open it, I have a message with "it's impossible to open this document". How can i fix it?

    When you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac:
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • Corrupted files being saved over network

    I have a Macbook Pro 17" 2008 model and I am having some interesting issues that i can't seem to find the answer for. I switched offices recently and am now plugged in directly via Ethernet cable to our main Cisco router instead of a small under the desk hub shared by 3 computers, that iu used to use with no issues. Since i moved i am having trouble with files getting corrupted when i save to the XP server (peer to peer).
    For example in InDesign CS3 i save a file and it will crash InDesign then corrupt the file. If i work on my hard drive, there are no issues. This week it started happening to Excel CSV files. I save them and open them no problem, but when they are used in any of our software on other computers that imports CSV files, they do not recognize the files as CSV.
    Yesterday I downloaded some CSV files from an offsite FTP and saved to the server. I did not open them, but they had some weird additional characters in them, that showed up in our other software. I went on a PC downloaded them again and the CSV were fine. So i am starting to think it is some sort of network connection glitch.
    Just wondering if any one has any ideas? It is getting to be a bigger and bigger problem each day.
    Thanks in advance.

    These days programs have safe guards in them to stop loading a file that they cannot. Adobe products in particular I know should give you a message that they cannot read this file. How are you downloading these files from the server? What service or protocol?

  • InDesign file saving and exporting S-L-O-W.

    I am a designer using the InDesign/InCopy layout workflow. After my last post things were working pretty good for awhile. But now it is taking more than an hour to save over the network. I tried putting everything in the same folder on the network (links and all) and it still took me more than an hour just to relink a placed InCopy story. I am going mad. A week overdue for my first draft and I can't do anything. So today I decided to just  use the package workflow to speed things up. However it still takes as long to create assignments even after I have saved the InDesign file and links to my desktop.
    Is there any possibility this is caused by using the last document and saving as new name? Even if I have unlinked all assignments and stories first?
    I've tried saving as an inx file but I lock up.
    Thanks for your help in advance,
    Holly

    It turns out that is the issue. AnneMarie, were you able to find the other thread? I thought my problem was solved by deleting the random 40,000+ lines of garbage using a text edit program. But the random lines are re-generated each time I save the file in indesign. My IT Manager thinks it has to do with the InCopy plugin. In analyzing the 'garbage lines', here is what we do know. Each time a body of text is saved using the InCopy plugin, it is generating 62 unique id's of random URLs, and multiplies those id's 657 times...thus creating 40,000+ lines of garbage that bogs down the file. The urls are not used anywhere in my Indesign file, so we can't figure how the plugin is gaining access to the URLs to generate them.
    We tested it on a brand new block of text in the file that had never been exported as an Incopy file (working off the desktop the whole time) - and the resulting .icml file still had similar URLs generated (all 40,000+). The plugin version is 6.0.0.352. Indesign Application version is CS4 6.0.4.578. Here is one URL pulled from the file: <HyperlinkURLDestination Self="u54e9" Name="URL 275" DestinationURL="http://www.evanta.com/details_popup.php?cmd=speaker&id=6963" Hidden="false" DestinationUniqueKey="694"/>
    Any ideas on how to stop the URLs from generating each time I have to save the file?
