Help! No one knows what to do when you get the "error Code 2" when you save a document?

I worked for HOURS and in the end saved some pages of my book as a pdf document, BUT, for some reason, this time above the pdf never showed up! I checked background tasks and he said 'save pdf - 32% '. Because it was taking so long, I left it all night in the hope that it would end on its own. This morning, he said the same thing.

The problem is now, Indesign is frozen (not answer) and my task manager it will not make it appear. I copied the file, so there is a backup, but the file last saved at 22:45 last nite - so probably this is the file corrupted.

I have read other forums & troubleshooting pages on this subject, but there is no suggestion on what to do when your program is unresponsive. So I thought I would ask here!

Any suggestions on what to do next without losing all my work?

THANK YOU :-|

You might not like, but try a force quit on ID, or shuts down the computer, assuming that you have not already closed ID.

Re-booting, then restart ID and I hope that the file will be reopened automatically the data recovery.  Try immediately save money for a new file name, and then export to .idml (you have not told us your OS or the ID version, that we really need to know, but says bottom CS5 or most recent task and the Task Manager indicates a version of Windows). This does not work very well. Error code 2 is generally not recoverable, in my view, directly in the code.

You should certainly also try to open the saved copy and do the same steps. If you can get a .idml one, which open and save it as another .indd file and I hope it will be good to go. You can also clean the file by exporting InDesign tag text stories and import it into a new document.

If all else fails and you absolutely positively need to recover rather than rebuild it, you can try the recovery of Markzware service: Bad InDesign or Quark File Recovery submission form
