Tengo un archivo en el que he estado trabajando, de repente se ha ido la luz y se me ha cerrado el programa en medio de un guardado, ahora me salta que el archivo esta corrupto con el siguiente mensaje: archivo.indd puede estar dañado. ¿Desea abrirlo de todas formas?. Despues de esto si le doy a OK se cierra el programa directamente, he intentado abrirlo como copia, moverlo al escritorio etc.

Dejo el link a wetransfer o si no algun otro metodo.

Correct answer Peter Spier

I ran your file through the tool at INDDRecovery — a program for restoring corrupted InDesign documents, then renamed the recovered file and ran it through the tool again. I was able to get as far as InDesign 21.2 opening and detecting that the second version was damaged and offering to attempt a repair on the adobe servers, but it insisted I was not signed in to Creative Cloud, which is not the case.

You might want to try the same thing on your own system.

I would now export that file to .idml, open that and save as a new .indd with a new name so it is completely re-written, and start making backups.

At the end of every editing session, or significant change point, I do a Save As and create a new file with a version suffix to track when things change and to give myself a backup chain in case of problems such as this, or to be able to easily go back in time when a client decides to change direction when we’ve gone down the wrong design path. I also run drive imaging software and back up the system every night to an external drive, which has saved me more than once in case of hard drive failure or other disasters.

As @leo.r said, we’ve all learned form our mistakes, and it looks like you were pretty luck this time.

Do you have a backup of your file made by an incremental backup system such as Time Machine on Mac (or its analogue on Windows)? If your file is on a cloud service like Dropbox or Google Drive, you can also retrieve its earlier saved version.
