Cannot open Pagemaker files in InDesign Cs2

In the past I could usually all open Pagemaker 6 or 6.5 file in InDesign CS2. However, this no longer works. I get a message o the screen tells me the file is corrupted and cannot be opened. (I can't really put the original message that I get because it is in German).

In this case for any Pagemaker 6 or 6.5 file I have in my deposit (and there are still plenty of left while I tried many Versions of PM and different dates)

As to the first, I tried to reinstall InDesign CS2 from the original disks. I uninstalledit before and did a reboot of the Machine until I reinstalled it.

I use a Windows XP baesed system.

Does anyone have an idea on what I might try to get back to work?

  • New problem opening Pagemaker files in InDesign

    I have a lot of files to archive in Pagemaker 6 and 7 and now use InDesign CS2. Until recently, I could open the pagemaker files in InDesign and save as files InDesign and there I went.

    But now, I get an error message just saying: the document is damaged and cannot be recovered. First off I thought it was really a corrupted document but then realized all my old .pmds said the same thing.

    Is there a known issue with perhaps a recent update of InDesign or something?

    I'd really like to be able to access my old msdp!

    Thank you in advance.

    No, but I bet you're on Windows XP, right?

    CS2 + Windows XP Service Pack 3 = cannot open PageMaker files, at all.

    If my proposal is false and you are on a different OS, you can just ignore me.

  • Open the PMD 7 files in Indesign CS2

    I used to be able to open my Pagemaker 7 using InDesign CS2 files - but now getting a mssg saying: the files are damaged (they are not because I can still open in PM). Any ideas?

    My hunch is that you use XP SP3 or Vista or Win7. There are known issues with trying to open the files MP in CS2 after applying SP3.

  • InDesign Mac CC: "cannot open resource file' popup message when loading a feather in my plugin

    We have a pretty simple plugin for InDesign, which we have maintained since the time Pre-cs.  We would wear to CC.  Everything works on Windows and Mac, with one problem.

    The plug-in displays a file save dialog box, which is customized with a couple of additional controls for additional information from the user on the exported file.  As far as I know, there is no way to do it with the InDesign SDK directly, so we do it with code specific to the platform and resources.  Under Windows, we have this by calling GetSaveFileName in the Windows API and by setting a custom resource .rc and "hook" function with OFN_ENABLETEMPLATE and OFN_ENABLEHOOK.  On Mac, until CC InDesign, we asked the function of carbon NavCreatePutFileDialog, with a style file old Pier and an event proc handling kNavCBCustomize and al.  This has all worked for a long time great.

    However CC InDesign on Mac is 64-bit only, and carbon will not work with it.  So, we took the leap in cocoa and put implement with [NSSavePanel setAccessoryView:], where load us a NSView custom from a pen integrated into our bundle of plug-ins.  And it works very well also.  However, when the plugin code call [NSNib initWithNibNamed:bundle:], InDesign CC appears a warning message saying: "Cannot open resource file."  However, the resource (the pen) is obviously loaded correctly.  Thus, the user must dismiss this apparently false alert box before being able to move forward.  Once the alert is dismissed, the NSSavePanel works very well, with our custom NSView.

    I can say that the popup alert just InDesign itself, rather than a subsystem of Mac underlying as cocoa, because he has the title of "Adobe InDesign" and the gray dark background as the rest of the CC of InDesign and the OK button has an orange highlight around it.  It is clearly not a standard thing of Mac as a NSAlert.  And if I do the same calls to [NSSavePanel setAccessoryView:] et al. in a stand-alone application, obviously no this popup appears.

    It seems that somehow our call to load the file Nib triggers some kind of hook in InDesign.  My guess is that it's a hook for InDesign load its own resources, which is hanging by mistake in features our plug-in.

    I tried two approaches to load the Nib enumerated file here:

    http://StackOverflow.com/a/5855561/3207828

    And they both work, the pen is responsible and we can get our NSView to it and use it in the NSSavePanel.  But if we call [NSNib initWithNibNamed:bundle:], or [NSViewController initWithNibName:bundle:], CC InDesign displays the message box as soon as the call to load the pen is made.

    Why InDesign CC showing the message 'Cannot open resource file', and how can it be prevented?

    Thank you

    Dan

    I thought about it.  The problem was the plugin code to create a ResourceEnabler object, which is needed by older versions (CS *) of the plug-in on Mac to locate resources .rsrc for the call of NavCreatePutFileDialog of carbon with the carbon resource custom.   I #ifdef'd out so that the ResourceEnabler object is not created during the generation of Cocoa 64 bit for the CC and the offending message popup no longer appears.

    I do not understand why the ResourceEnabler object is needed for carbon, resources of the plug-in to the top of the stack of the resource, but I do not completely understand why the presence of the ResourceEnabler object would have an effect on a call from cocoa to [NSNib initWithNibNamed:bundle:], which also works fine.

    Note that simply create the ResourceEnabler object does not trigger the popup even if the bundle of plug-in contains no carbon resources to move to the top of the stack.  It's only when I go to load the Nib file that the ResourceEnabler seems to want to get involved and complain that it cannot find anything.

    So if anyone from Adobe is reading this, I would say that set you the ResourceEnabler feature so that it does not interfere with loading crane of cocoa.  It is perhaps best to just do the ResourceEnabler a no - op in InDesign CC.

  • Opening PageMaker files

    I use PageMaker 7.0. I need to upgrade to InDesign, but cannot open my PageMaker files in InDesign CC. Is there a way I can temporarily download InDesign CS so I can open my PageMaker files and save them in a format that CC InDesign can then open? I am on a deadline, so any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    If you have CC with InDesign, you can download InDesign CS6 CC App. Select the tab made Apps scroll to find Apps additional and in the menu select the previous Versions, and you can choose to download CS6. InDesign CS6 lets you open Pagemaker 7 files.

    Be aware that it is a translation that is not perfect.

  • Cannot open the file, update the plug-ins? Help.

    First of all, I have InDesign CC and use InDesign CC files. Whenever I open a file that is a model of InDesignCC file, the warning window opens and says:

    "Cannot open file. Could not open the file. Please update your plug-ins their versions the latest, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign. »

    Well I've already updated InDesign so I guess it's plug-ins. Can someone direct me on how to update or how to solve this problem? I'm on a Mac.

    Thank you

    You must either upgrade your InDesign CC to 2014 CC, or you have installed both of them, the file has been created with CC 2014 and you try to open the file with InDesign CC.

  • Click on the link-get "Windows cannot open the file" select a program?

    After clicking on link get "Windows cannot open this file" have to manually "selecta program programs installed" Firefox appears as a choice and I double-click. How can I solve this problem / eliminate these extra steps
    ? Thank you Joe
    I am running Windows XP, MS office Outlook 2007

    Is it a link in an e-mail message in Outlook? This problem arises from time to time.

    While Firefox can usually set himself as the proper application to open the URL, you click in other programs, settings are sometimes blur or do not take. This article has tips to solve this problem: setting Firefox as the default browser does not work - what to do. Anything there help?

    If the problem persists, is there something special about how you start Firefox? For example, you have this launch in a security 'sandbox' or virtual machine? You have all the command-line options set to allow several simultaneous sessions of Firefox, or call the Profile Manager? If none of this sounds familiar to you, the answer is probably not.

  • "Extraction failure: cannot open output file" error message when installing new drivers

    Hello, I am trying to install new drivers for my HP Photosmart C4385 printer.  I downloaded the complete drivers of features for Windows XP 32-bit, and when I start to install (extract), I get the error message:

    Extraction failed

    Cannot open output file

    And the process ends.  He arrived at about 85% extraction every time.

    No idea why?  I called HP, but no longer under warranty they wanted money, which I think as absolutely ridiculous - not even give me basic support?  Poor, poor customer service.

    Hi GIJeff12,

    Temporarily disable any AntiVirus/Antispyware software.

    Cut the installer on your desktop then click on the Start Menu, click computer, double-click on the C: drive and paste the installler here.  Now try a right click on the installer for your printer, choose 7-Zip and choose Extract the files, and then click Ok.  If the installation program extracts now correctly, follow these steps.  If it does not extract, let me know.

    Disconnect your printer from the PC.  Restart your PC.

    Open the newly extracted folder and double-click the setup application to start the installation (the installation application will probably have the same icon as the original installation software that you downloaded).  Connect the printer to your computer when you are asked.

    If it was a success, re - enable your security software.

    Best wishes

  • Windows 2k8R2 - receiving error when you connect (MMC cannot open the file: C:\Windows\system32\ServerManager.msc)

    It is perhaps because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you don't have sufficient access to the file.
