InDesign will read through the instructions in the. inx file and rebuild a new, untitled InDesign file. The new file should look just like the original file, but hopefully without whatever is causing the file corruption. I've seen this work wonders many times! If you have InDesign CS4, and this doesn't fix the file, try the steps above again, but choose InDesign Markup (IDML) for the file format. Q2ID is a great program from Markzware that converts QuarkXPress files to InDesign format. Markzware also makes a product called ID2Q that converts InDesign files to Quark. Why am I telling you this? It just so happens that people have discovered that sometimes ID2Q will open and convert InDesign files that InDesign itself can no longer open. So if you use ID2Q to convert the corrupt file to Quark, and then use Q2ID to convert the file back to InDesign, you might be in business. If you don't want to purchase both products, you can hire Markzware to try the fix for you. See the offer from the Markzware Blog below:įix your Bad Adobe InDesign Files! Markzware, well know for it’s QuarkXPress fixing XTension MarkzTools and conversion tools, such as the ever-still popular Q2ID (Quark to InDesign) Plugin is working on a tool that hopefully one day will make fixing bad or not opening InDesign files a cinch.

This is one happy uni student! :) :)Įxcellent! Thanks for sharing such a great tip!! Thanks a million for posting this! - J.Lenius This worked beautifully! I exported a damaged (but openable) InDesign file using the InDesign Interchange format, and reopened it without any problems.
Q2ID FREEZES INDESIGN PDF
I was ready to create my hi-res pdf for the printer and the file kept closing out on me. I thankfully found your post and was so thankful. The tip worked great and I was able to move forward with the file without any issues.
Thank you! I've spent hours trying to figure out why InDesign now crashes if I so much as look at it wrong, and nothing I'd tried had worked.
