Tired of getting a message from your layout application such as, “Adobe InDesign may not support the file format a plug-in“? This video may help you fix your .INDD file and make that Adobe InDesign file openable… (With the simple use of a text editor, 0xED.)

The exact error message, is something like this:
“Cannot open the file “Xxxxx.indd”. 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.“

Every once in a while, we hear people looking for, Adobe Publisher! Now we know they really mean Microsoft Publisher or wait, did they mean Adobe InDesign?

Since this just happened today and it’s Friday, I thought it as good as any time to share this little tidbit of page layout information.

When an InDesign.INDD file is really a Quark .QXP layout…….

Hi, David Dilling here from Markzware and here is yet another interesting one. A customer sent in a email with the dreaded “I have a bad InDesign file please help me!” This one was a little bit different in that he knew it was an old file and that there were defiantly issues with it and he couldn’t quiet figure it out. The subject of this movie is “When InDesign isn’t InDesign but QuarkXPress.” Yes follow me on this one. Come check it out on my screen here because it is quiet a common problem, in any event I’m hearing more and more about this and the type and creator being zapped in the file and other issues like this. It’s very important, the file extension use and how you use it on a Macintosh or even a Windows machine of course as well.

It is not as easy as just adding .INDD to a QuarkXPress file and woof magically it become a InDesign file. Visa versa you just can’t take a Jpeg add a .tiff and it becomes a tiff file, it just does not work that way. If it did life would be a lot simpler but that is just not so. Now come check it out on my screen and thank you for watching.
