Shared Content InDesign Plugin for InDesign CS4 won't open file

Yesterday I discontinued using Adobe CC and went back to using my Adobe InDesign CS4.  CS4 is working OK but there is ONE file that won't open.  I get the message "Shared Content InDesign Plugin is currently not available on your system".  The file will not open. Is there a workaround or how do I get the required plugin?

You get that error when the file was saved in CS5 or later. You can find out the version using the script at Adobe Forums: [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File.
You'll need to export the file to .idml from the newer version to be able to open it in CS4. This is something I normally offer to do, but I'm not available for at least a week, so perhaps one of our other regulars can step up and volunteer.

  • Help! Word for mac 2011 won't open files

    Hi,
    I wasn't able to find a suitable category to place this question under, but hope someone can help all the same.
    I have Word for Mac 2011 on my 2011 iMac. In the last couple of days, it has stopped opening files (by double-clicking on them, or by going to File > Open). Instead, I get an error message which reads:
    "Document name" uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version
    (The message then continues with smaller print, telling me how this is for security reasons but that I should be able to use File > Open to access the file - which I can't).
    The only way I have found to open the files is by using File > Open and in the 'Enable' box choosing 'Recover Text from any file'. However, this is pretty unhelpful because I lose the file's logos and formatting.
    Note that this problem happens to all files regardless of which version of Word they were created on.
    Please help! I really need to access my Word docs...
    Thanks in advance.

    I am also suddenly having this problem.  It seemed to start after I upgraded to Lion.  I had Word 2003 until I upgraded to Word 2011 last year, so I don't have 2008 to go back to.  The documents it won't open are just blank.  They will open with Open Office.  This is just so annoying!  I thought it was a Lion incompatibility, but you are saying it is a Microsoft problem?

    Hi Bob!
    I´ve download the full install of the Folio Producer yesterday. Installed it (and i replaced the old Drop11 stuff)
    And then i login to the "Folio Builder" with my Adobe ID (later i will login with my commercial client account right?).
    Where is the part where i produce/export a Folio-file? Or it doesnt work that way anymore?
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS9293e1fb3b977c5c7b1f65ad12f28224932-7f ff.html#WS9293e1fb3b977c5c7b1f65ad12f28224932-7ffb
    I
    have read this parts, but it doesnt work the whole way. For example the preview thing i mentioned.
    And no if i only place text i still doesnt work.
    The folder-hierarchy should be the same as the drop-releases?
    The patch-update of the folio producer doesnt work either? (is says the´res a "conflict (in swedish:).
    Many questions, but necessary.
    Best Regards

    Hi, Praveen
    Thanks for your reply,
    I am going to look for  "programming-guide.pdf" and then take further steps to plugin.
    But can you tell me what are the resources that can be created by Eclipse 3.2.2 and why we use two Editors (VC++ Editor and Eclipse 3.2.2) here.

    You can't. Features from new versions require you to buy the new version.

  • Porting an InDesign Plugin from InDesign CC to InDesign CC 2014 the plugin complies successfully with the InDesign CC 2014 SDK but at run time presents this error and is disabled. Does anyone know what might be the issue?

    Porting an InDesign Plugin from InDesign CC to InDesign CC 2014 the plugin complies successfully with the InDesign CC 2014 SDK but at run time presents this error and is disabled. Does anyone know what might be the issue?
    Run TimeError Message Presented when InDesign CC 2014 runs:
    Adobe InDesign cannot load the FastFractions.InDesignPlugin plug-in. The FastFractions.InDesignPlugin plug-in requires the 9.0 version of InDesign. Please contact the vendor to get a compatible version of FastFractions.InDesignPlugin.
    Show this alert again?

    As already told this means that the plugin has not been ported correctly. Some part of it for ex InDesign libraries or frameworks are being referenced from the CC sdk instead of the CC2014 sdk. To troubleshoot it i would advise you to rename the folder containing the CC sdk on your machine and then compile the project, it will fail to compile and you will get to know straightaway what aspects of the ported project are still accessing the old sdk. Fix the errors and your plugin will load fine.
    Thanks,

  • 3rd Party Plugins for Flash CS4

    Are there any resources to find 3rd party plugins for Flash CS4?  I've used plugins in older versions of Flash, but I'm new to CS4.  I'm wanting to a lot of cool things with a site including photo carousels, image transitions, visual effects, etc., but I'm not sure where to get started.  Perhaps I shouldn't even be looking at plugins?   Maybe I am really looking for tutorials on how to make cool effects in Flash?

    Is there a list of 3rd party plugins which will work in Photoshop CS4 Extended?  I am thinking - in particular - of Blade Pro, Filter Factory, KPT 3 & 5, Sinedot and Super Blade Pro.
    Haven't seen one. Anyway lists get out of date. 
    I guess the best way to get the latest information is to visit each manufacturer's web site.

  • CS4 won't open Fuji FinePix S5Pro RAW

    I should have all the Adobe updates as I have it set to automatically get updates including the RAW editors. I don't know how to check what is currently installed.
    CS4 won't recognize RAW files from the Fuji S5Pro. Other posters have recommended closing Adobe Bridge on similar discussion threads, but how do I see if Bridge is open? It isn't in my task bar or my task manager.
    This is a Windows PC, not a Mac. I am running Windows 7.
    Thank you for your assistance.

    You should be able to open those files, even with the camera raw plugin that shipped with  photoshop cs4.
    (camera raw 5.7 is the newest camera raw plugin for photoshop cs4)
    If in photoshop cs4, you go to Help>About Plug-ins and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
    Is your windows 7 an 32 or 64 bit system?

  • .fla saved in CS5 as CS4 won't open in CS4

    Hello. In Adobe Flash Professional CS5 (11.0.0.485) (on intel mac running 10.7.2), I set up a document, save it, and then save it as a CS4 document. I then transfer it to another Mac (ppc, running 10.5.8) and try opening it with Adobe Flash Professional CS4 (10.0). I get the error message: "Failed to open document. … " Would anyone know why, and what to do about it?
    Thanks

  • CS4 won't open now

    Can anyone help me understand why PPro CS4 won't open all of a sudden?
    I've tried rebooting, not sure what happened in the last 12 hours.
    I assume i'll have to reinstall the software, but does anyone know why this happens?

    Do you have SoundFlower installed?
    Do you have a lot of VST's installed?
    Those are two things that can affect the launch of a couple of Adobe programs. This ARTICLE (though written for the PC), might offer some things to ponder.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - there are some similar threads, where Mac users have had to do something with their log-in. They did not have to really modify things, IIRC, but just open up the control console for it. Wish I could give you more details, but I'm a PC-guy. There are maybe three threads recently.

  • Illustrator CS4 won't open any files since installing CS6

    Every since I installed CS6, whenever I try to open files in Illustrator (all files, not just the new downsaved from CS6 files), the program goes into "Not Responding" and I can't do anything until I crash out. It also will not let me create new files.
    I've tried deleting my Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder as I saw suggested in another discussion, but it did not help.
    Since my CS6 trial is ending soon and I'm not sure about upgrading yet, I really need my CS4 to be functional.
    I'm running WIndows Vista 64 bit. Never had any problems with Illustrator before this.
    Any suggestions?

    Ok, so I uninstalled Illustrator CS4, ran the CS Cleaner Tool, which messed up all my other CS4 programs, reinstalled the whole CS4 Suite, and Illustrator CS4 STILL won't open files (or allow me to create new ones). I only have two days left on my CS6 trial and I'm not sure if I'm upgrading right away, so I really need to figure out a way to make my AI CS4 work soon!
