When I save a CS6 InDesign file as an .idml file InDesign crashes and sends a report to Adobe.

When I save a CS6 InDesign file as an .idml file InDesign crashes and sends a report to Adobe.
When I restart InDesign the .idml file is in the directory as well as a locked InDesign file.
I cannot open the .idml file, instead I get the message:
Cannot open "" file. Adobe InDesign maynot support the file format,
a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing,
or the file may be open in another location.
I can however open an InDesign .idml file that was saved from InDesign CC software.
InDesign CC software is also unable to open the .idml file that I created in CS6.

It seems to be a corrupted IDML file. Does it happen with every file or only with that one.
What is the content of that file? Did you embed images or graphics or did you ink them? Size?
Maybe that this would help you: Re: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc.

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc. I am logged on as the Administrator, running Windows 7, using Microsoft Home and Business 2010.

You were right, it was a Microsoft problem.
I got it...I am now able to save a Word 2010 document as a pdf file. Here is what I did/found:
In Word, go to File, Options, Display and make sure that "Print drawing created in word" is CHECKED.
Mine was unchecked and when I checked it everything came back and is working as it did before. The only thing I can think of is that a Microsoft Update may have changed this selection...I know I DID NOT make any changes in the options.
One other thing I noticed in my saved documents folders was that a lot of my files showed up as PDF's and would still not open until I selected one and told it to default to open as a word document and then they all changed back and I was able to open them in word again.
I hope this helps others out there.

How can I save an indd file as an idml file without opening the document?

I cannot open an InDesign file that was made in a later version of InDesign because I don't have the right plugins. How can I convert this indd file to an idml file without opening it?

Well..... sort of depends on your version.
If you have any version as part of CC subscription, the latest updates are supposed to be using a cloud-based service to generate the IDML for you so that you can open the newer files seamlessly.

Is there a way to save a fillable form (in Reader) as a static (uneditiable) image and send it for signature without the recipient being able to revise the fields at all?

Is there a way to save a fillable form (in Reader) as a static (uneditiable) image and send it for signature without the recipient being able to revise the fields at all? I have designed a number of fillable forms and sent them to our clients as Reader extended pdfs to be filled out and sent back. Now, certain clients want to be able to fill in the fields and save the doc as a pdf that can't be tampered with so that they can send it to their own people for signature to be returned to them hand-signed and scanned via email.
Since the forms have been secured, and my cleints are only using the free Acrobat Reader, how can they save the filled in form as a static pdf to send on for signature? They do not want to have to print, scan and email. Is there an app, plug-in, simple solution to this?
Thank you,
Rumor

The signature WILL work! I've just looked into it more, thank you so much for pointing me in that direction.
I get it now, it locks the form fields in place after my coworker fills them in and signs it (as the very last step).
I wish I would have asked on here a full day ago. Would have saved a lot of headache and Googling.
Thanks again.

Jonmarie-
Try resetting (rebooting) the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything and sometimes solves mysterious problems.

Opening An InDesign CS 5.5 .idml file in InDesign CS5

I just received an InDesign CS5.5 file saved as an .idml file. I cannot open this file in CS5. I still get the message that I need to upgrade half a version to
5.5. I am an instructor teaching InDesign CS5. The school I work for, purchased a license for CS5 last year, it is obsolete with the half version.

Thanks! That did the trick. Instead of Exporting, they were Saving As an idml file.

CS6 on Windows 7 - when I try and send my project to Adobe Link, then to Encore I repeatedly get the error message "Encore has stopped working, windows will close the program". I get the same error message when I try and open Encore on its own. Help wou

Both when I open Encore as a standalone program, and when I try and export my work via Adobe Link to Send to Encore, I get the same error message - "Adobe Encore has stopped working. Windows will close the program. Help would really be appreciated. Thanks.

Now that is impressive Stan, thankyou! So simple ... I don't suppose you know why the "build" button is greyed out do you? Don't worry if you don't have more "magic dust" at your fingertips, I'll re-check my settings again, and again ... Thanks for your help. Doreen.

Seeing actual file names on .idml files

In indesign cc 2014 when I open .idml files I want to see the “file name.idml” instead of “untitled.idml”. like in previous versions of Indesign cs3 where you could see the file name as “filename.inx”. I’m working on multiple files and have to save them down for the customer and it just keeps the confusion down.

Thanks for the answer - I know ID CS3 version you could see the actual file name "filename.idml" - i used to do that in CS3 all the time - but I guess IDCC got rid of that feature - I asked Indesign Facebook page and this is what they replied: "Unfortunately, the feature doesn't exist in ID at the moment but our team has received your request ^A"

When I save my data to a spreadsheet txt file I lose some data why is this?

I lose about 3 hours worth of data everyday but it is at different times of the day. I am saving my data to a spreadsheet txt file in excell about every 15 minutes. Why is my data disappearing?

Joey, you have alot in your block diagram.
Are you losing time on your computer or is it data? Is the data missing in one piece or is it missing data in several pieces?
I have the following suggestions. Your code would benefit with subVIs. Also, instead of discarding readings that happen before your time specification, you can use a wait until next ms so that your program will sit idle until it is time to take a reading. You can also set indexes on you array functions and supply a format string on the format into file function to ensure that the proper values are outputed. If problems still exist, strip down your code to one data channel to simplify your file i/o. Run the stripped down code to see if it looses data.

When I save a bookmark, the "Bookmark This Page" box is very small, and its hard to choose the proper subcategory because I have to scroll a tiny screen with the mouse. Is there any way to increase the size of this "Bookmark Save" box?

1. The Firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom Page Zoom] feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.

Best practice for reducing the number of XML files in an IDML file for translation?

Our engineering team is looking for ways for us to reduce the number of XML files produced when a (relatively) simple 2-page INDD file is saved out as IDML for translation?

IDML contains quite a few XML files, but I suspect you're only interested in the Stories folder if you're working on a translation. The way to do that is... to reduce the number of stories. If it's a two-pager, chances are that you have a whole bunch of unthreaded text frames. Thread them in logical reading order. This will help the translator(s) as well - by threading frames in logical reading order, they don't have to work to read the document in the same order as the target audience.

When I try to open the Big Fish game page the browser crashes and I am including the following signature. nsContentUtils::ComparePosition(nsINode*, nsINode*)

This problem happens often and only with the Big Fish Game site. Sometimes it happens with the initial opening of the home page at other times it is when I am trying to navigate around the site. It is the only website that this happens.

hello, firefox won't save your passwords when you've set it up to run in permanent private browsing mode ("never remember history" in the options > privacy panel).
