This is what the dialog box states: Cannot open the file "file name.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
I am using InDesign from CS6 on windows 8.1.
Does anyone know of any way of getting SVG Kit for Adobe Indesign to work with Indesign CC? Or any other way of placing svg files in Indesign CC?
Since updating to 9.2, every minute or so, a dialogue box pops up telling me "Could not complete your request because of a database error. Disk is full (Error Code: 0)"
It's not full, however - there are over 600GB of space remaining, and my scratch disk has about 200GB. I suspect a problem with the autosave, as it keeps popping up. Major productivity killer!
On top of that, the File menu no longer shows Recently opened files.
I'm really confused by something. I have a document that is separated into categories of information, (i.e. radio stations, newspapers, network programs, cable programs, etc.). I tried to add section markers to each page where a new section begins. But if I make edits and add information before, and a new page is created, the section marker stays on the same page and doesn't move with the beginning of the section itself. I am using a primary text frame with smart text reflow, which I assume has something to do with it. I tried changing the end of story option to "End of Section." I also checked preserve facing pages (because a section needs to start on the right page). I thought that this would make it enough text was added that a new page was created before a section marker, the new page would be created before the section marker and the section marker would move its content.
So, for example,
Section 1 (Radio Stations)
first page has header that says "Radio Stations," followed by entries of radio stations
Section 2 (Newspapers)
first page has header that says "Newspapers", followed by entries of newspapers
So say section 1 starts on page 15, and section 2 starts on page 29. I need to add a few radio stations on any page in section 1, let's say 22. I add some information, text after flows into next pages, but the section 2 marker stays on page 29 even after the first page with header "Newspapers" has now moved to page 31.
I guess I'm missing something really obvious but I can't figure it out.
I have written a short paragraph about each of several individuals. I wish the paragraph to be accompanied by a picture of said individual. All pictures to be of identical size and wrapped by the text on the top, right side, and bottom. Need a simpllified way of brining pics into text without having to deal with sizing after placing the picture.
Indesign will not package my book, and I'm not sure why, but I'm thinking it all stems from the Mavericks OSx update that I did last week. (I have not had to package a book since before the update and just now ran into this problem.) We have 2 Macs & are having the same problem on both.
If anyone could help me, that would be great! Thanks so much.
I am working in Document A and trying to edit a text box. The alert comes up "You must check out the contents of this frame in order to make changes. Check out now?"
I click yes and another alert comes up, "Document B" has been changed. "Checking out the contetn will automatically update to the latest version. Do you want to continue?"
I don't know why the content needs to be checked out in the first place and don't want it tied together. How can I stop this from happening?
Thanks!

I'm having this problem with the stroke weight on my objects staying the same pixel size when I adjust their size. I had this issue in 5.5 and learned how to fix it by the 'Transform Object' panel and deselecting 'Adjust Stroke Weight When Scaling'.
Well, that's turned off in CC, but the stroke is still obviously getting bigger when I increase the size of my object. The stroke weight still says it's the same, but a person can easily tell that the stroke is bigger. And, the 'Adjust Stroke Weight When Scaling' is greyed out. I can't turn it on or off. Something is going on. Can anyone help me with this, please? I'd really appreciate it.
Just installed. Indesign CC - has disabled powerripx prestets. What to do?
Since my upgrade the colors for InDesign CS6 are off on my second monitor. This seems to only effect InDesign. With PS I can drag a file halfway between the monitors and the colors are close to the same. Do that with InDesign for example, burnt orange goes to a bright fuchsi. It is like the second monitor is using the profile from my main monitor. Main monitor is NEC2690 and my second, just used for pallets is an HP. I have tried turning off "Displays have seperate spaces" in Mission Control with no results. Both are profiled with Spyder4. This was not a problem prior to Mavericks update.
The stroke only shows up when I save the file as a pdf as I zoom in the line gets smaller and smaller but never goes a away. In InDesign and on the PSD file the edges look fine just all white around the "horsefly" any help would be great. Thanks
What's the best way to calibrate a printer?
I was thinking about creating an InDesign file with various CMYK color-built sqaures and then comparing the printed squares. I would then print out the sheet and compare it with my Pantone Color Bridge swatch and tweak the printer settings until I got a match. Will that work or is there an easier way?
In CC INDD, my command Z (undo) doesn't work. Any ideas?
i,
This is difficult to explain:
I have a 290 pages inDesign dokument.
Suddenly three left side pages are damaged. I have no idea what hs caused this.
1) It seems as if the automatic page numbering is not including theese sides. 2) The consecutive text is not displayed on these 3 pages 3) the 3 pages are empty - but obviously damaged since the display looks like the photo below.
If I try to delete the empty pages InDesign crashes. When I reopen the documet it asks me to recover or not.
I hope some one can help me? (unfortunately I did NOT take a backup the last days)
Thanks!

I created an alternate layout that was basically half the size as the original and now all my paragraph styles in the child have type sizes that look like this - 9 pt(5.5). It is quite problematic, because when I try to use that type style in the child, it obviously uses the parent size (9) but it if I try to change the style to have type size 5.5 then all of the existing type with that style changes to half that size (so about 2.5ish). I have since deleted the parent layout because I no longer needed it, but I would like to keep the paragraph styles just in case I need them in the future. How do I unlink/modify the child paragraph styles??
Not to mention... when I am in the child version extending an original text box to correct overset type the type size is 9 instead of 5.5 like the rest of the linked text boxes? So basically I've got one story, different type sizes and if I try to correct one type size it updates the other to be different.
Thanks in advance!
Hi there - nice and simple - running CS5.5 on a Windows machine just the way I like it with preferences, (default language, increments and styles etc) - Q -how do I find and save this information so I can take it home and get my home PC version running the same? That's it - thanks!
What I'm attempting to do is format a book for Blurb. I have Tranfered all blog post and placed them with associated pictures from a cross country bike trip. I have the rough format of the book in place.
What I need to do...
1.Evenly space images apart
2. Line up and Expand text boxes with images
At this point its a pain staking process of going one by one to each image aligning. Does anyone have an easier way that I'm not aware of?
What each page looks like above.
Hi all,
I'mnew to InDesign and am editing a doc that someone else created.
There's a mystery line in it--I can't select it, it's not an object, I can't edit it. If I delete it (by deleting the text around it) it shows up again when I hit carriage return. And every time I hit carriage return, it repeats itself.
I'd like to edit it or delete it. Please help!
Thanks!
My InDesign document has a total of 55 pages. My page numbers are set up in a master. Some of the pages display the page numbers correctly: "Page X of 55" but others do not "Page X of 43". Why is it unable to detect the correct number of pages?
Thanks,
Ellis
Long title, but I don't know how to ask this any other way.
I have a 350+ page guidebook full of hundreds of radio shows, TV shows, newspapers, etc. all around the country. The name of each entry is preceided by a paragraph style called gray box that puts a rule below that highlights the title line gray (that was how they all were organized before, so if the underlining technique is better, let me know, but I opted to keep them the way they were). Is there any way to have indesign know these are entries? Whenever I make edits, I've been manually going through to manually hit numkey enter so that it breaks the page if one of the entries spills over to the next page. I tried setting keep options for the lines after the gray box rule, thinking that would work, but none of the combinations did what I wanted.
This is what I mean:
(gray box paragraph with rule below)
Newspaper 1 (this line is highlighted gray)
www.newspaper1.com Twitter: @Newspaper1
Newspaper description
Newspaper Name Contact 1 Name, Title
Mailing Address Contact 1 Phone Number
City, State, Zip Contact 1 e-mail
Phone Number
Contact 2 Name, Title Contact 3 Name, Title
Contact 2 Phone Number Contact 3 Phone Number
Contact 2 e-mail Contact 3 e-mail
(gray box paragraph with rule below)
Newspaper 2 (this line is highlighted gray)
www.newspaper2.com Twitter: @Newspaper2
Newspaper description
Newspaper Name Contact 1 Name, Title
Mailing Address Contact 1 Phone Number
City, State, Zip Contact 1 e-mail
Phone Number
Contact 2 Name, Title Contact 3 Name, Title
Contact 2 Phone Number Contact 3 Phone Number
Contact 2 e-mail Contact 3 e-mail
So if I were to add something before Newspaper 1, and Contacts 2 and 3 of newspaper 2 spilled over to the next page, I would want inDesign to know that's not okay and make sure the entire entry of Newspaper 2, with its gray box, goes to the next page. Does anyone know how to achieve this?
