I created a IDML file from INDD damaged file in IDMarkz. In design can't open a file. Message in dialog box says: Mismatched tag. Any ideas?

Please help!

Thanks Randy. I tried everything. I send this file to a friend working on Windows. Same. File crushes ID. Older file version works ok, but I can't find the reson, what is differnt and what exactely happend. It must be corrupted file and it looks like I have to do everything from the begining. Bad for me. Stay well and thank you for your interest in my case 🙂


If it works with an older version of the file, I'd start with the things I changed since that old version was saved. You may well have a bad placed graphic that creeped into the system since then. Just throwing that out there ...

Try changing the file suffix of the file in question from .idml to .indd and then try to open it. It's worth a shot.

 

Good luck,

Alas, it might be that your IDMarkz couldn't recover the bad .indd in the first place.

 

Can the original file be opened at all within InDesign?
