Saving "[Converted]" files in InDesign CC 2014

Creative Cloud installed InDesign CC 2014 for me, which is somehow different from InDesign CC. (I thought the whole reason for having Creative Cloud was to not worry about versions ever again, but I digress).
Now, when I open my InDesign files, they appear as "filename.indd @ 100% [Converted]" and when I hit Command-S to save, I get sent to the "Save As..." window in a totally different directory from my original file.
How do I prevent this from happening? i.e. I open an InDesign file, edit it, and then hit save, and it saves with no further interaction necessary.
Thanks!

If you are using OSX you might checkout the Default Folder utility—it lets you control the Save and Save As dialog directories.
If not, I would give my user an option to overwrite using the older format to avoid any new-version "flakiness."
You've never been able to back save InDesign files you have to first save as IDML to move backwards.
I use this AppleScript to batch convert folders of ID files. The script asks for a folder and converts any ID files to CC2014 and copies the originals into an ~~Archive subfolder:

  • How can I open P65 files in InDesign CC 2014?

    I have a folder of P65 files I need to open, but InDesign CC 2014 can't open them.  Is there still a PageMaker plug-in like there used to be in previous versions to do this?

  • Can't associate INDD files with InDesign CC 2014 (Windows 7)

    After updating to CC 2014, I noticed that my file associations for all my Creative Cloud applications were pointing to the wrong places. I assume this is because the new updates are actually different versions of the application and installed as completely separate apps. I was able to adjust my PSD and AI files to point to their new CC 2014 counterpart just fine, but when I tried setting the file association for INDD files, I noticed that the file type did not show up in the Windows 7 control panel file association list. So, instead I went directly to an INDD file on my computer, right-clicked, selected "Open with...", clicked "Browse..." and navigated to "InDesign.exe." When I selected it and pressed OK, it failed to change the file association. Repeating the process has not helped and now the only way to open an INDD file is to drag and drop it into the workspace of InDesign CC 2014. After restarting my computer, the INDD file type is now showing up in the Windows 7 control panel file association list, but it still is not allowing me to change the association.

    No, I did not. I'm running the 2014 Release version of InDesign for Windows (see screenshot below). And as far as I'm aware, Adobe has not released another update to the 2014 release version. I used to have the older version of InDesign Creative Cloud installed as well (the version right before the 2014 release), but have since uninstalled it as didn't want or need two versions of InDesign. I may just try re-installing the 2014 release version and see if that fixes things.

  • Newbie question: saving jpeg files in indesign document

    hi there,
    i'm rather new to indesign and i can't get this thing to work:
    whenever i place a jpeg image (or for that matter, any other image format) into an indesign document and later move
    the jpeg file to a different location on my harddrive and then reopen the indesign file, the image is all pixeled. it seems like the image
    isn't saved inside the .indesign file, but is more of a referal to the file on my hard disk.
    is it possible to embed external files (like jpeg) into the actual indesign document and save them within this document?
    i'd be gracious for any help.

    Grant's answers are correct. You SHOULD use linked images and you should update them on the Links panel.
    There are specialized reasons it might be necessary to embed an image, but in general it's not a good idea: (1) It makes the files unnecessarily large, (2) if you make changes in the image, it can be updated in the InDesign file.

  • Saving large file in Indesign - 92MB

    I have a document with about 700 pages (92MB) and saving it takes almost 20mins when using scripting (javascript). Is there anyway to speed it up? (already turned of redraw etc).

    Is the save action occurring as a result of a script? Is this a save or a save as? Saves should take little to no time, unless over a slow network. It is not a good idea to work on InDesign files over a network, although everybody who knows this does it at least sometimes. Save As is usually a much longer process. When InDesign saves a file it appends the latest changes to the existing file, which requires little time. This has the effect of making a file take a bit longer to open, since there’s more data to read. Also the file is larger. A Save As forces InDesign to rebuild the saved file’s structure so there’s no changes added, so it’s a smaller file and it opens faster, although subsequent Saves should still be just as quick as will, of course, begin to increase file size.
    Look as the script to see if it is using Save As instead of Save.

  • How to open Pagemaker 7 files in InDesign CC 2014?

  • Converting files to InDesign CS3 from Illustrator

    We have lot of files needs to be converted from Illustrator to InDesign CS3.
    How can it be done? We have tried but it is coming as an image & can not modify anything.

    Yeah, you're right as usual, Peter, but what if there isn't any vector artwork in the Illustrator file? You'd be aghast at the number of fill-in-the-blank forms I've converted from Illy to ID; files that needed the typographical control of ID, but didn't need any real vector content. You know, where the blanks should have been done with tab leaders, and instead are a forest of underscores, really short text boxes with "rich black" stroke, text boxes with fill but no stroke, et cetera. Forms where the only "artwork" is a 72 ppi raster logo pasted from a Word file. I could go on for hours in this vein.
    You might be assuming that the OP's Illustrator files were made by a competent, non-crazy designer, and that they are mostly vector content and therefore should have been made in Illy in the first place. Over here in nonprofit-land, I can't afford to make such assumptions. So, I'm not going to assume that there's any vector content at all in Masud's files. Maybe there is, maybe there isn't. How can I judge, from the ~20 words that he's posted on the topic? I mean, maybe jongware is absolutely right in assuming that the OP is trying to make ID the do-it-all app, but we have no way to know.
    Speaking of which: Hey, Masud, you had best post some details about your project (like the details that Bob requested, for example), unless you want this thread to die.

  • Urgent - saving 'converted' files

    i'm in the middle of a project, joined creative cloud, upgraded muse, and now my files show up as 'converted' and won't save, save as, none of that. what do i do? i've tried everything. this project has about 20 pages. i can't start from scratch *every time* this happens. yes, it's happened before, but there were only 5 pages then. i would really appreciate a fix for this asap!
    love, horrified.

    screenshot above. no error messages. no crashing. i can go in, edit, but can't save. that's the only way it's unresponsive - when you go to save, the 'save' button (no matter what) is greyed out.  also, it won't even let me make a new folder to save in.

  • Import .pdf and ai file in indesign cc

    Hi,
    I'd like to know if there's a way to import pdf and ai files in indesign cc 2014?
    Thanks

    If you're asking how to use a PDF or ai as a graphic in InDesign, File>Place is what you want. If you're asking how to manipulate the elements of a PDF or ai after it has been placed in InDesign, that's not how it works, although you can turn layers on or off in a placed ai file if you go to Object>Object Layer Options.

  • Where is InDesign CC 2014.1 installed on my Win 7 PC?

    Hi,
    I used to have multiple versions Indesign on my computer Win 7 PC. When InDesign CC 2014.1 came out I deleted other versions. Everything works properly but I noticed that my .indd files are not associated with ID and I can't find out where it's installed so I can associate the executable file with my files.
    Can you tell me where it is located?
    Thx.

    BUT, you'd be better off if you reinstall instead, as that will restore the icon handler that you removed when you uninstalled the old versions, and then your files will show the correct version icon.

  • Convert Indesign CC 2014 file to V9 file format.

    How do you convert the file created in InDesign CC2014 to the format that Indesign V9 can read?
    I tried “[Save As…]” in Indesign CC 2014, but non of the format shown in output format is for Indesign V9 compatible.

    You have three file format options with "Save As". One is for "IDML".
    Or "Export to IDML". Quite the same.
    You can open an IDML file with InDesign CS4 and above…
