Indesign Pages Gone

Hi Thomas:

I understand your distress.

Let's focus on the 8 middle pages. Do you have a back-up file available from before the middle pages changed? (This is why incremental backups are so important. We can create them ourselves by regularly saving a project under a new name—typically appending a new date or time to the end of the filename—or we can save to a cloud service that does it automatically, like dropbox. Any file can become corrupt at any time—Adobe, Microsoft, etc. Backups are a critical workflow component.)

If you haven't done that, and don't have the file on a back-up drive, I'd look at this page:

Make a backup of this file and the scroll down to Damaged files and click on I can open this document and work through the list under Complete the following tasks in order.
