Validating IDML file
First, I'm not sure if this is where I should post this question. If not, please tell me where to post IDML questions.
I am writing a VB.NET program to generate an IDML file. I have used validate.bat (CS5) on the file and it reports no errors. However, when I try to open the IDML file in InDesign, I get the following error:
Cannot open the file "xxx.idml". 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 have closed the program that generated the IDML file before trying to open it in InDesign, so I don't think the last suggestion is my problem. How can I determine what part of my IDML file is causing InDesign to not be able to open it?
Can you tell me how you have generated XML file with refernce to the registerd schema
I m new to xml..
i hav sample XML file....
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xmlns:http.....>
<!->Insert site information>
<USER Username="Swap"
Fname="sss"
Lname="dddd"
Details=""
USER/>
Can you tell me how to code this in order to generate this type of XML file....

I need help to open an .idml file after translating it with Dejavu!
Hi everybody,
I'm not used to work with InDesign, I only have to check a big problem: I'm a translator and have been working the last 4 weeks on a InDesing-Projekt from German into Italian. I changed the format of the files from .indd into .idml an imported the three files into my Computer-Assisted-Translation Ptrogram DejaVu. I've been working well till now. Now I tried to export the first File and wanted to open the .idml file with Indesign... The program began to work, but then came a warning "syntax error". Please, is there anybody who knows the program better than I (the agency which should know everything about this kind of files gives up at the first problem)??? This is very important to me. I speak german an italian very good, my english is rudimental....
Thank yopu and have a good day (tel. +49-(0)9208 588316)
AlessandraSorry for the delay, I had a lot of other stuff going on today. This kind of work is somewhat laborious so I put it off.
I needed to send you the file, because I don't understand what you mean with opening the zip file and so on...
An IDML file is just a .ZIP archive of a bunch of XML files.
In this case, it turns out the problem is pretty obvious. Some story files, instead of containing valid XML, contain "MATTONELLE".
Like this, in the Terminal on Mac OS X, but substitute as appropriate for Windows:
$ ls -ld *idml

This kind of crash at that location often means a bad font, or so I've been told.
This is actually an incredibly common failure, and it is much much more generic than bad fonts. It could be caused by bad fonts, but it could be caused by almost anything.
This indicaets a program has tried to defeference a pointer whose value is zero. That is, some function was passed a reference to some part of the program's memory (typically pointing to some data structure. It could be a number, a string, an TexttFrame, another function, a file, really anyting), and instead of that reference being an address, it was zero. And the function didn't check to see if thie address was valid, it just tried to read from address zero. Which, under many operating systems, including OSX, generates a trap and causes a crash.
So it's necessary to look at the stack trace to see what function generated the error. And that function was probably called be some other function by anothre function etc., and the fault is probably further upstream. If, e.g., the IDML export code calls the system's fprintf() function with a null pointer, the crash might be in fprintf(), but it would be the fault of the IDML export code.
Sometimes the faulting address might be more unique. Like if the pointer not zero but say, 3. There probably aren't too many cases where a pointer gets initialized to 3 by accident, so it might usually be the same thing. But address zero is incredibly common. (So are fun ones like 0xdeadbeef and 0xfafababe and 0xcafecafe).
Cheers. I wonder what happened with bizcomm... -
Place one IDML file inside another one.
I want to place one or more IDML files into another single IDML "master" file.
The master file is sort of a template for a site layout. The IDML files I need to embed represent single content boxes with specific layouts. The files for those content boxes are created outside of InDesign with some texts I get from a database.
To retain those layouts I deemed it best to just place them into another document which is no problem with INDD but just with IDML.
I managed to link multiple INDD files into the master file in InDesign itself, but can not figure out how to link IDML files. I also found that it is possible to link INDD files into IDML files, just not IDML into IDML.
I need to be working with IDML as opposed to INDD because I have to be able to manipulate the files in an easy way outside of InDesign.
Is there any way to link IDML files into other IDML files? Or if not, is there a possibility to convert my IDML files to INDD files without having to use a real instance of InDesign?
Relevant Lines of code from the master IDML file taken from the Spread.xml file:
<Link Self="u9f81" AssetURL="$ID/" AssetID="$ID/" LinkResourceURI="file:/path/to/subtemplates/box2.idml" LinkResourceFormat="$ID/InDesign Format Name" StoredState="Normal" LinkClassID="35906" LinkClientID="257" LinkResourceModified="false" LinkObjectModified="false" ShowInUI="true" CanEmbed="true" CanUnembed="true" CanPackage="true" ImportPolicy="NoAutoImport" ExportPolicy="NoAutoExport" LinkImportStamp="file 130505142560000000 1396736" LinkImportModificationTime="2014-07-22T16:50:56" LinkImportTime="2014-07-23T11:42:22" LinkResourceSize="0~155000" />
If I leave this in and try to open the file in InDesign I get the error message that the linked file type is not supported
<Link Self="u9f81" AssetURL="$ID/" AssetID="$ID/" LinkResourceURI="file:/path/to/subtemplates/box1.indd" LinkResourceFormat="$ID/InDesign Format Name" StoredState="Normal" LinkClassID="35906" LinkClientID="257" LinkResourceModified="false" LinkObjectModified="false" ShowInUI="true" CanEmbed="true" CanUnembed="true" CanPackage="true" ImportPolicy="NoAutoImport" ExportPolicy="NoAutoExport" LinkImportStamp="file 130505142560000000 1396736" LinkImportModificationTime="2014-07-22T16:50:56" LinkImportTime="2014-07-23T11:42:22" LinkResourceSize="0~155000" />
If I put this in everything works fine.
Notes: box1.indd and box2.idml are the exact same files, just saved differently by InDesign. The path to both files is a valid file system path and has full read/write access.Thank you for your reply. I already know that it is possible to edit IDML files, which is what I am already doing.
What I am now looking for is a way to place one IDML file into another one like you are able to do with INDD files.
Which file format should I use insted then? It must be editable outside of InDesign because I need to be able to change texts and stylings within the file.
Laubender
That possibly means you have to have InDesign Server to integrate in your workflow.
That's the exact thing I am trying to avoid here. -
I have created an IDML package that is very basic. It has a couple of spreads, each with a single page and some guides on the page. Schema validation against the package schema passes. However, when I open the file in InDesign it tells me "Cannot open then file 'foo.idml'. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that suports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."
It is not open in another application and helloworld-2.idml opens fine even through it fails validation on several counts.
I suspect there is something very minor "wrong" with my IDML file. However, given that the schema is not catching it; is there a way to determine why InDesign chokes on it? I don't see any log file, nor is there anything in the Windows event log. Does anyone know how to determine what it is about the file that InDesign can't handle?
Thanks,
Gareth.It sounds like you've hand-coded an IDML file. This is something we can't help you with in this forum. I think you should ask in the InDesign SDK Forum.

XML Publisher question - Not generating a valid XML file
I am working through an Oracle document that walks you through creating an XML Pub report. I am using HCM 8.9, Tools 8.49.15 and it has XML Pub installed and I have the Microsoft plug-in installed
I have created a query and have downloaded an rtf template and now am on a page where you enter your data source and then click ‘Generate’ for the sample data file. I did it and it created ‘PERSONAL_DATA_PAY.XML’ which is created from a PS Query. However if I click on ‘PERSONAL_DATA_PAY.XML’ it generates a blocky text file that is not an XML file and I can’t go any further.
Do you know why it’s not generating a valid XML file when I click on 'generate'?
Thanks

Data Base Administrator - Oracle/PeopleSoft
Sonoma State UniversityYou mean to say that you create a new data source by specifying Data Source Type as 'PS Query' and Data Source ID as your query name, you are not able to generate a valid XML file (by clicking on Generate link).
did you cross check your query by running it?
On field change of Generate link, PeopleSoft uses PSXP_RPTDEFNMANAGER and PSXP_XMLGEN app packagaes and query objects to create the file
It should work if you query is valid.. -

Infopath 2013 SOAP Web Service Data Connection - Error: The file is not a valid XML file
Here are the steps to replicate the issue I’m having when adding lists.asmx or any other SharePoint web service in InfoPath 2013. This web service opens fine in the browser from my desktop. My account is a farm administrator and is added to the
web application’s User Policy. I can use these services just fine using Nintex 2013 Workflow.
Open InfoPath Designer 2013.
Select Blank Form and click Design Form button.
Click “Data” tab.
Click “From Web Service” and select “From SOAP Web Service”
Enter https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL for the web service definition.
Click Next.
Windows Security window pops up.
Enter a credential. I tried both my account and the farm account. My account is a farm admin and is added to the web application’s User Policy with Full Control.
Click OK. It prompts for credential multiple times.
I get below this error messages:
Sorry, we couldn't open https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL
InfoPath cannot find or cannot access the specified Web Service description.
The file is not a valid XML file.
Not enough storage is available to process this command.
We have a project that is in need of these services using InfoPath so any help is greatly appreciated.Hi Brian_TX,
For your issue, try to the following methods:
Change your service binding in web.config to:binding="basicHttpBinding". It seems in VS it defaults to wsHttpBinding.
Replace all instances of "parameters" from the web service wsdl with the name "parameter"
There are some similar articles about the issue, you can have a look at them:

I have an older version of itunes on a separate drive. Everytime that there has been an update to itunes it will not let me update. Now I purchased an iphone and I hooked the phone up to the computer and it tells me I need to install the latest version of itunes. I downloaded to try it, but I keep getting an error message that says itunes.Resources is not a valid short file name. What can I do from here?
That is a new one on me.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

"Cannot open the file "Project #3.idml". 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."
Is there anyother way could open this file?I chose from the drop-down list.
Maybe not.
Anyway, thank you very much! -
Cannot open an idml file created in CS5.5 in either CS5 or CS5.5
I have exported a CS5.5 file to idml but I cannot get it to open in either CS5 or CS5.5. Below is a screenshot of the error I get in both versions.
I have tried getting rid of all 3rd party plugins and resetting preferences to ID defaults in both CS versions but I always get this error. This testtest doc is a new file opened in CS5.5 with a text frame and a few words in 'Basic Paragraph' style and that is it. I checked for updates for both versions and there were none.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Janine

Received.
I have seen this problem before. I do not know what causes it (I suspect a corrupt InDesign installation), but I do know how to fix it.
IDML files are .ZIP files containing XML.
Inside the IDML file there is a file called "designmap.xml". In your case, it starts (ok, line 2) like this:
<?aid style="50" type="pi_for_SaveBackINX" readerVersion="6.0" featureSet="257" product="7.5(142)" ?>
But typically it would look like this:
<?aid style="50" type="document" readerVersion="6.0" featureSet="257" product="7.5(142)" ?>
The difference is sufficient to cause it to not be properly parsed.
So, to fix this problem, you can rename the .IDML file to .ZIP, unzip it, edit the designmap.xml changing pi_for_SaveBackINX to document, re-zip it, and rename it back to IDML. (Make sure not to change the directory structure when you do this.)
Edit: Oops, forgot to include the evidentiary screenshot: -
"this is not a valid PDF file" message when creating a new document?
Every time i try and open a new document I get a message that says this is not a valid PDF file?
Has anyone else recieved this message?Sorry, I am out of ideas. Unless anyone else can help I suggest you need to contact support directly. It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get problems fixed right away.

Thank you very much for the link to videolan.org. I was having the same problem playing downloaded Photoshop TV videos. I tried MPlayer which worked but was not comprehensible. I had never heard of videolan, but it works like a charm.
Thanks again.
